Pay With Your Heart

Eun-sun was in a daze as she stared at the man in front of her. She couldn't believe he was really there with her, holding and kissing her, and they were back together. She really couldn't believe it.

"You look so lean." He sighed as he cupped her cheek and carefully examined her face.

 "I'm fine." She replied. She had heard the guilt in his voice and she didn't want him to feel he was responsible for it. She didn't want him to think she had not been eating well because he left her. To be honest, her peptic ulcer had gotten worse these past weeks.

Dan-Han wanted to say something but he sighed and stopped himself. He rubbed his thumb around her cheek, gently and slowly massaging it, making her eyes droop.

Eun-sun sighed in her heart. She missed this. She missed him and everything about him. 

"Come home with me tonight." He said making her eyes open and gaze at him. He leaned closer and dropped a feathery kiss on her lips. "I want you to come home with me tonight. I missed you." He said making her look at him in an indescribable way. 

He wanted her to come with him? 

Dan-Han observed the look in her eyes and cocked a brow, "You don't want to?" He asked.

Of course, she wanted to. She was just surprised that he was....never mind.

"I want to." She quickly replied. "But Hei-Ran...I have to tell her." She couldn't just leave without informing Hei-Ran. She would be worried out of her mind if she came back and didn't find her at home. And she would be excited for her to know she was finally back together with Dan-Han. She could imagine her squeal and jump around for joy. This was the kind of news she wanted to share with her. Not the constant sad and depressive ones.

Dan-Han nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, I'll inform her." He told her making Eun-sun cock a brow at him. He would? How? Did he have her number?

Before she could ask, he grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go." 

"I have to get a few things from the house." She hurriedly told him while pointing to the apartment, but the man was already pulling her towards the car, making her hurry after him.

"There's no need for that." He replied.

Were they in a hurry?

Eun-sun had to admit, everything happening right now was surprising and overwhelming, yet exciting. Few hours ago, she had just been bawling her eyes out because of the pain of not being together. But now, he was holding the door for her and wanting to take her home. She looked at him and her heart skipped before stepping into the car. 

He lowered himself and strapped in her seat belt before placing another kiss on her forehead, making her cheeks warm up. Her eyes followed him as he walked round the car and hopped in. 

He turned on the igniy and dialled Hei-Ran's number. Eun-sun's eyes widened when she saw Hei-Ran's number displaying on the car stereo. She looked at Dan-Han in surprise. How did he get her number? But before she could ask, she heard Hei-Ran's voice coming from the speakers.

"Hello,"

"Good evening Ms Su, this is Lee Dan-Han." He said before taking a glance at Eun-sun who was staring at him with widened eyes. He smiled and held her hand.

"President Lee?" Eun-sun heard the surprise in her voice. But she instantly prayed in her heart, Hei-Ran doesn't say anything rude to Dan-Han in anger. She knew how she has been dying to do that.

"Why are you-"

"I'll be taking Eun-sun home with me tonight. Hope you don't mind?" He asked, but what followed was a few seconds of silence.

"Home?" She finally asked after his question fully registered in her head.

"Yes."

"Of course, I don't mind. I would never mind." She chirped excitedly. "You can keep her as long as you want." The joy in her voice was clear to all. Eun-sun felt her lips twitch at Hei-Ran's shamelessness. She knew Hei-Ran was just happy for her. 

"Thank you." Dan-Han said as he smiled Eun-sun.

"But wait, don't you dare make my friend cry again, else I'll really do something crazy to you, president or not." She warned while Dan-Han nodded.

"Noted."

"Good. Treat her well." She said before disconnecting the call. Dan-Han smiled and turned towards Eun-sun. It was good to know Eun-sun had someone like Hei-Ran in her life, who was looking after her.

"There you have it. You're all mine for the night." He told her. 

Eun-sun's cheeks colored when he looked at her and grabbed her hand. She could only give a shy nod. She was all his? She didn't mind. There was no one else she'd rather belong to other than Lee Dan-Han. That has always been her desires. 

She whipped out her phone when she heard it ring. It was a message from Hei-Ran. She had expected it.

'Don't come home in a hurry, but I expect all the gist when you get back. Have fun.' Attached to it was a winking emoji.

Eun-sun didn't know why Hei-Ran's text brought a certain type of imagination to her mind. She gazed at Dan-Han from the corner of her eyes and she tried not to think about it. 

Eun-Sun felt nostalgic when they arrived Dan-Han's place. It felt like ages since she was last there. 

Her stomach grumbled the moment she stepped into the house, and the aroma of delicacies wafted into her nostrils. 

Dan-Han chuckled when he heard her stomach growl, and her eyes darted around in search of whatever was smelling. She was always reactive to food.

"Come on." He took her bag and led her to the table. She let out a small smile when she saw chef Alex again. It has been so long since she last saw him. The man bowed to them and immediately made himself invisible.

"You made all these for me?" She asked incredulously. Her eyes grazed over the table which was filled with different delicacies and her mouth watered. 

"My apology for calling you stupid." He said. He has indeed called her stupid, and she would accept this apology.

 "Apology accepted." She smiled at him and took her seat. The happiness in her radiated all over her face when he served her and filled her plate with a heap.

She had wanted to protest, but he spoke up first.. "You should eat up, you'll need your energy for the night."
