Pay With Your Heart

Eun-sun didn't think she had heard well. Did someone just say she was Dan-Han's fiancee? And why did the person's voice sound so familiar?

Eun-sun had the urge to return back to the elevator she didn't want to get involved in whatever was going on there. But another part of her wanted to confirm if what she had heard was true. Maybe she should check things out? She would like to know if the man she was falling for was already engaged to someone else. It would be painful if that was true, as she had only made up her mind towards then. She felt uncomfortable hearing those words.

Eun-sun had only taken a step towards the door where she could hear the voice of the person shouting when the door to her left suddenly opened, and before she could take a look at who had opened the door, someone grabbed her hand and pulled in, almost making a yelp to escape her lips.

Eun-sun knew it was no one other than Lee Dan-Han, only he could do something like this. He would hold her and pull her to himself without her permission, but she wasn't going to complain today especially not when she was beginning to like the way he acted with her. She looked up at him and there he was, his handsome face looming over her and his enchanting gray eyes were staring deep into hers. Why was he always this handsome? She asked herself.

"Took you long enough" Dan-Han said in a soft tone as he held her against himself.

"Mr Lee–" Eun-sun called out softly, her cheeks slightly turning bright pink because of their close proximity, and the way he was staring at her like he was staring directly at her soul. Eun-sun wanted to lower her eyes from his but she was captivated by it, so much she couldn't tear her gaze from him. His eyes were beautiful and with the way he was staring at her, her heart couldn't help but drum wildly against her chest as she also stared back at him. There was this indescribable feeling in her heart as they locked gaze with each other. She couldn't explain it, but standing before him like this and having his eyes fixed on her was having this effect on her. Her heart was thumping wildly so much she had almost forgotten about the thing she had just heard outside.

"Someone.... is out there looking for you" She informed him.

"Mmm, I know" He briefly replied, his eyes still locked on her.

"Don't.... don't you want to go see who it is?" She inquired as she observed his countenance. The person outside had said she was his fiancee, and she had a feeling he was aware someone was other asking for him. Eun-sun heart skipped at the reminder of that word, 'engaged'. Was he really engaged?

"Chang-wok can take care of her" He replied nonchalantly like the person outside meant nothing to him. He was aware of the annoying person outside his office seeking an audience. He had been pissed when he heard her proclaiming herself as his fiancee. He was about to go handle her and send her out so Eun-sun wouldn't come to meet her and hear the absurd things that she was spewing that would complicate issues for him, he had only opened the door when he saw Eun-sun by the door. He had been very surprised to see her there, and the first that popped into his head was to pull her in and hug her just like how he was doing right now.

Dan-Han wanted to say a lot of things to her but he didn't know how to say them outrightly. He didn't know if she had heard what that crazy girl had said, but he had a feeling she had.

Slowly he raised his hand to her hair as he tucked her properly arranged hair behind her ears, "Don't you want to ask me anything?" He asked in a cool and calm tone, his eyes searching hers.

With her heart still pounding because of how close Dan-Han was holding her, she lifted a nervous gaze at him, "Do you....want me to ask something?" Eun-sun asked back in an almost shaky tone. She had an inkling on what he was hinting on. And her heart raced even more as she dreaded his answer.

Dan-Han looked at her for a while, he noticed how her eyes were suddenly darting, he could sense her fear. But why? Was she falling for him already? Did she fear the possibility of him being engaged? 

Dan-Han examined her small framed face before he spoke up, "I know you heard what she said, but know it's not true." He said in a firm and confident tone.

"It's not?" She asked back uncertainly while he nodded his head.

"No it's not" Dan-Han assured her. He didn't want her to have any misconception at heart especially if his thoughts were through.

He made up his mind to have a talk with chairman Choi about his daughter, he should stop her from coming to his company and he was definitely going to slash Chang-Wok's salary for allowing her get to his floor in the first place.

Eun-sun observed his face as he spoke before slowly nodding her head. She could could see he was honest with his response, and she felt something in her heart disappear. Something she hadn't noticed, fear. 

She didn't see Dan-Han as one who'd lie to her. She choose to believe him without any persuasion from him, afterall he was the man who was able to move her heart.

"Okay" She nodded.

Dan-Han smiled when he heard her response. He didn't think she'd believe like that. It meant a lot that she had easily believed him and he didn't have to persuade her. Does this mean she was falling for him now? He wanted to believe that. He didn't want to believe otherwise.
