Eun-Sun's heart was still beating hard as she sat beside Dan-Han in his private Jet as they headed back for home. She couldn't bear to look at him right now. His look wasn't gloomy, but rather it was inscrutable.

She couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment. Was he angry or sad? She didn't know. She shouldn't be bothered about his feelings right now, she should be thinking of how to get herself out of this situation especially when she has just made a promise to his mother. But she couldn't stop herself from thinking about the possible thoughts that could be going through his mind at the moment and how he was going to act towards her after this.

Was he going to be cruel towards her because she had turned him down? Would he urge her to pay up her debt and maybe go back to his old ways of taunting her with her director. 

The last few hours with him has been totally uncomfortable, the atmosphere was awkward. She didn't know how to behave around him anymore, or what to expect.

She had wished this had happened back in country C, then she'd have ran out and boarded a cab home afterwards, and not wait for him to drop her home.

But right now that was not the case, because even after running away from Dan-Han after rejecting him, she was here still seated by his side. For some reason it seemed the flight back was taking longer than expected. She wanted the plane to land already. So she could run away from there.

Dan-Han had not uttered a word to her or anyone since they returned back from the park. He didn't plan on making a confession during this trip, but everything had just happened that way. He knew getting her to be his woman wouldn't be easy but he wasn't expecting an outright rejection.

She had just said those words and had hurried out on him. What did she mean by 'don't'?" He shouldn't like her? Or he should stop liking her? Was that even possible? She was the first girl he was responding to and he liked her personality — fiesty and all— so what was she saying?

Dan-Han turned to look at her, but she had her face turned to the side, probably to hide away from him. He sighed inwardly, as he picked up his tab to look through some mails.

....

Soon the plane landed and the moment the door was opened Eun-Sun picked up her handbag and rushed for it.

Dan-Han watched from his seat as she hurried away with out a look at him. He didn't know what to feel at the moment. He thought about calling after her but he just couldn't do it. He didn't know how things were going to be after now. Maybe he shouldn't have told her that he liked her. He must have overwhelmed her with his outright confession. He must have been to brash.

He sighed exaperatedly as he stepped out of the plane. He continued to watch as she ran out of sight.

For a moment he wished she was like other girls, then maybe she would have behaved differently. But the thing was, if she was like the other girls who'd freely throw themselves at him, then he wouldn't be attracted to her in the first place. It was the person she was that he found intriguing.

"Sir the car is ready" Secretary Chang-Wok informed him.

"Mmm" He grumbled out in response. Secretary Chang-Wok looked behind Dan-Han to find his little companion but he was surprised when he didn't find her. He had stepped out of the plane first to go prepare the car, so he didn't notice she had gone until now.

"She's gone" Dan-Han said when he noticed the odd way his secretary was looking at him.

"Okay" Chang-Wok nodded in understanding.

Dan-Han made his way to the car which was now parked in front of him, with Chang-Wok'l trailing behind. He suddenly stopped and turned to Chang-Wok.

"I'll ask you be good and provide a suitable answer" He said in a cold tone, making Chang-Wok bob his head up and down in understanding, as he took note of the word, 'Suitable answer'.

He suddenly felt like Dan-Han shouldn't ask him the question. What if the answer he has was an suitable one. He didn't want to face this man's wrath and fury right now. But he also didn't have the nerve to tell him not to ask.

"Okay sir" He replied.

Dan-Han looked at him for a couple of seconds, as he contemplated the best way to ask Chang-Wok the question he has in mind.

He decided to ask anyway."What reasons do you think would make a girl turn you down?" Dan-Han asked, his eyes fixed on Chang-Wok as he waited for a favourable answer.

"Huh?" Secretary Chang-Wok did not if he had heard right or if he didn't understand his question. When he met the glare in Dan-Han's eyes, he finally realized that he had heard well.

But why was the boss asking him that? Was he truly interested in that girl? And did he just say she turned him down? His eyes widened involuntarily. That girl really turned the big boss down? Was she tired of living or something? Who would dare turn the big boss down? There were thousands of girls who were dying to just have Dan-Han look at them or wave at them.

if he so much as winked at them, they'd happily hop on to his bed and glue themselves there. And this one turned him down? Was she mentally derailed or does her destiny have a problem with success? Having Lee Dan-Han show even the slightest interest in you was more than a lifetime success.

Chang-Wok cleared his throat and apologized to Dan-Han when he realized he has been lost in his thoughts for too long. "I'm sorry boss"

Dan-Han shot a lethal glare at him. "Do you have a answer or not?" He spoke in an angry tone, making Chang-Wok shudder.

"Yes I do" He nodded his head in trepidation.

"So why? Do you think it's because she might not like me?" Dan-Han asked.

"No, of course not" Chang-Wok hurriedly answered. The truth was that was also an option and he was sure that was the case for Ms Eun-Sun. He had noticed the way she looked at Dan-Han, like if she was given a choice, she'd rather be on the north pole, planning a trip with Santa Claus than be close to her boss. There was that time at the cafeteria when she had looked with murderous intent, like if she was given a chance she'd kill him with a knife. But could he tell his boss this? HELL NO!!

"Then tell me your theory?" Dan-Han pressed.

Clearing his throat, Chang-Wok started. "Sir women are precarious and delicate beings. When it comes to them one can not be so sure of thr knowledge they have of them. One minute you think you have them all figured out and the next all you think you know can't even help in your smallest of problem"

"In other words you're saying you don't know?" Dan-Han asked, dourly.

"Yes- no. I mean that we can't be a hundred sure on the reason why you'll be rejected. Sometimes they may say they don't when they acactually do. Women Kind of like the chase, but then again it depends on the type of woman she is" Chang-Wok rambled on. At this point he was sweating in his ass. He wasn't sure he knew exactly what he was saying right now.

"So you're saying she might like me but might actually be pretending about it?" He asked with uncertainty.

"Ermm, not….really" Chang-Wok stuttered. Why has his boss decided to punish him with such delicate and unanswerable question? If it had been work related he'd have been able to contribute efficiently, but definitely not women problem.

He hasn't even had a girlfriend in his life. He was gynophobic for Pete's sake so why him?! This was torture. 

Dan-Han thought about what Chang-Wok was trying to say. He didn't agree with his answer. Maybe the women Chang-Wok knew were all pretentious, but his Eun-Sun wasn't like that. She was like an open book, her emotions were always reflected in her eyes. She wasn't the type who'd loved to be chased. If she was interested she'd say it, but it seems right now she wasn't and it was up to him to put more efforts into wooing her.

He looked and Chang-Wok and he didn't even know what to say to him. He was even more clueless than he was. Nobody In their right senses should ever ask him for relationshop advice, or else they wanted their relationship to end I'm shambles.

"Get in, you're clueless" He hissed.
