Pay With Your Heart

"I'm so sorry for what happened earlier. It was just a mistake, please do not take it seriously." Mrs Lee held Eun-sun's hand in her own as they parked in front of her apartment, while she apologized.

She didn't want Eun-sun to go back with any form of misconception at heart.

"Auntie it's okay" Eun-sun replied to her. She wasn't comfortable with Mrs Lee apologizing to her.

Mrs Lee sighed as she shook her head, her hand still holding onto Eun-sun's hand, "I just don't want you to think bad about Dan-Han. He has gone on several dates yes, but I'm the one who always pressured him into going. He has never been interested in going out on dates. So don't see him in a different light okay?"

"Okay." Eun-sun nodded, a small smile splitting on her face. For some reason, she felt happy knowing Dan-Han had never had any interest in girls. That meant she was the first girl he had ever pursued right?

Sincerely she had been a bit sad knowing Dan-Han had gone on a date with that mannerless girl. He had asked her on a date but she had turned him down, so she didn't like the fact that he has gone on a date with that girl.

There was a way that girl had looked at her at the party and Eun-sun had the urge to grab her hair and shove her down the toilet hole, but not before slapping her again on that face of hers. She had maintained her cool because of Mrs Lee. It wouldn't be good to lose her temper in front of her.

"You're such a good girl." Mrs Lee smiled as she lovingly brushed her hand down Eun-sun's hair, making her blush. There was this effect this woman's words and actions had on her. It made her feel loved and cared for. A bubbly feeling always sears in her heart whenever she treated her this way. It was an unexplainable feeling.

"Auntie, can I ask you a question?" Eun-sun nervously asked when she remembered she had wanted to ask her a question.

"Sure you can."

"That woman you were all talking about, who is she and do I really look like her?" She curiously inquired.

"You mean Sena?" Mrs Lee asked while Eun-sun nodded.

'So that was her name?'

"She's my friend, as a matter of fact, she was my best friend." Mrs Lee told her. She paused and looked at her intently, her eyes scanning through every corner of her face before releasing a small smile, "And you sure do look like her. Not a form of uncanny resemblance but you remind me of her." Mrs Lee paused and sighed, "It's been so many years already. I wonder how she is." She said in a sad tone.

Noticing her change in countenance, Eun-sun rubbed the back of her hand, "I'm sure she's fine wherever she is." Eun-sun comforted her.

"I'm sure she is." Mrs Lee nodded.

A few seconds of silence elapsed.

"Auntie thank you for taking me out and buying me all these things." Eun-sun appreciated her.

"Oh honey, I should be thanking you for hanging out with me tonight. It had so much fun, we should do this some other time okay."

Bobbing her head up and down with a happy smile, Eun-sun replied, "Okay"

"I'll let you go now, good night and rest well." Mrs Lee told her.

"And you too." She replied before hopping down from the car. They waved at each other before Mrs Lee car drove off.

Eun-sun smiled to herself before she hopped towards the door with her bags in hand, oblivious to the person waiting by the side. She was happy today. Well, she has been happy a lot these days.

"I knew you didn't miss me, but I never thought it would be because of my mother." Someone said from behind her.

Eun-sun was startled when she heard that familiar masculine voice. She slowly turned around and she was shocked to see him standing there staring at her, he playfully wriggled his brows.

"Mr Lee?" She called out in a small voice as she was both shocked and surprised to see him there. 'He was here?'

Her eyes looked at him from head to toes, he was smiling at her, his hands buried in his pocket as he stared at her. Eun-sun felt her heart begin to thump a bit harder than usual, as she kept staring at him. She was too stunned to move. She stood there with her bags in hand as she kept her gaze fixed on him. Why does it feel like it's been so long since she saw him?

He was looking dead gorgeous as usual in his sky blue shirt which had its sleeves folded up to its elbow, his long slender legs were in his usual black suit trouser, his hair was dishelleved hair and a few strands pushing forward. He was looking a bit tired but that didn't hinder his beauty if at all it made him look super handsome. His eyes were glued to her as they both stared at each other. Eun-sun's heart skipped when he took a step towards her and another till he stopped just a foot away, a smile plastered on his face.

He gave her a once over, before looking at her face again. He crossed the remaining space between them in a stride, his hand went straight to hair tucking a few strands behind her ears before trailing down her cheek, all the while Eun-sun's eyes were glued to his face, her heartbeat changing and beating erratically. It skidded when he cupped her face, brushing his thumb on her cheek so soothingly making her close her eyes. All she wanted was to pounce into his embrace but she was waiting for him to make a move.

"I've been thinking about this all day" He whispered as he leaned closer and he covered her lips with his, slightly stunning the little girl.
