Pay With Your Heart

She couldn't even call her mother to check up on her, because she has been banned not to. Not to check up on her, not to visit her and not to even think about her. It was like her mother had asked her to think she was dead.

Eun-Sun felt like eyes were tearing up but she wouldn't let a tear drop. She has vowed never shed a tear anymore, but sometimes after piling up so much emotions even the strongest of us breaks down. Eun-Sun told herself this wasn't the place or time to loosen up. This was one of the reasons why she stayed away from alcohol.

But what she really really needed right now was more alcohol, to numb her a bit, to numb her pain. She looked at Dan-Han with an inscrutable gaze, but Dan-Han could see the flicker of emotions she was trying so hard to hide. He was looking at a little scared and sad pet he'd love to pet and comfort, but knowing the kind of person this pet was she was probably going to scratch him and leave with a chunk of his flesh for her trophy.

"More wine perhaps" Dan-Han offered like he could read her thoughts, and she numbly nodded.

And in a minute a new bottle of wine was opened on their table.

"Maybe this time you can go a bit slower" Dan-Han adviced but the little woman was paying little to no attention to what he was saying, she was patiently waiting for him to finish pouring her some wine.

Soon there was yet another empty bottle of red wine on the table. Dan-Han had tried to stop this pig headed woman but she wouldn't oblige. She was going to have a serious hangover by morning, he was sure it.

"President Lee stop staring at me like that" Eun-Sun said groggily. Her cheeks were flushed thanks to the alcohol.

Dan-Han made a mental note to get rid of the alcohol in his house when they finally started dating. This girl was a chronic alcoholic.

He was amused by the way she was staring and talking to him.

"How am I looking at you?" He humored her.

"Like you're going to gobble me up"

"Then maybe I should do that" He said, his lips curling up. He chuckled when Eun-Sun hiccuped and shut him a pensive and warning look. He had to admit she looked really cute right now.

"I should probably tell you I have a black belt, and I can do to you what I did to your friend" She said warningly.

Dan-Han furrowed his brows when he thought about what she was talking about. He bellowed out in laughter when he realized she was referring to In-Ha. That was his only friend she had seen. Though she has seen Jae-Hyun, he was sure she had no idea Jae-Hyun was his friend.

'So she did that to In-Ha? Interesting. And that idiot had lied to me'

He looked at Eun-Sun with more interest.

"Miss Eun-Sun I'll keep that in mind" He told her like he was soothing a grumpy child.

"President Lee you look.... good when you ...." Dan-Han was eagerly waiting to hear what he was good at, but the petite girl fell forward on the table.

Dan-Han closed his eyes and sighed deeply before standing to his feet.

What a girl..

One of the staff who has been waiting in the shadows just in case Dan-Han needed anything, hurried up to the table to help Dan-Han with the lady. The demon boss shouldn't be seen carrying a woman, right? Everyone knows how he hated women, it was already a surprise to have seen hims with one tonight.

"President Lee let me ..."

"Step aside" Dan-Han warned in a cold tone, far different from the one he had used while talking to this lady. The guy drew back to hide himself before he faces this devil's wrath.

"I'll make sure you never drink with anybody" most especially In-Ha, Dan-Han added in his mind as he picked up the little lady from her seat.

Eun-Sun frowned deeply when she felt her body was being moved.

"Shhh. I'll bring you home" Dan-Han said softly, Eun-Sun still held that frown on her face, she slowly flickered her eyes open and saw a hazy figure that looked like that of the man she has just been drinking with.

"Home?" She muttered slowly before closing her eyes again. In her subconscious she wondered when she'll ever be home again. She hasn't been there in a while and even when she was, it still didn't feel like one.

"So much for being at alert" Dan-Han scoffed, while carrying the little lady to the elevator. The staffs who witnessed this scene at the lobby almost died from shock.

'The president was carrying a woman?!! What was happening in hell today??'

Dan-Han didn't mind the stares he was receiving. He carried her to the car and placed her in it, before hopping in as well.

He whipped out his phone and called Secretary Chang-Wok.

"Get me miss Eun-Sun house address in three minutes" He said coldly before ending the call, not caring that he might have interrupted his secretary's happy time.

Dan-Han looked down at the petite woman who was sleeping beside him, with her face as red as a tomato. His brows creased when he noticed a tear roll down her cheek.

He had no idea why she was crying, but he has an inkling it wasn't a good reason. People cried in their sleep due to an unfortunate event right? Trauma? A painful past? He wondered what it was.

He felt a pang in his chest. He leaned closer to her and with his finger he wiped the tear off her face, but another rolled down her cheek. Dan-Han lowered his face even more, he didn't know what he was doing but the next minute he saw himself kissing her tears away. His eyes fell on her lips and like he was been pulled by a huge magnetic force he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her.

He pulled away when Eun-Sun scrunched her face in her sleep.

"I'll make you mine soon" He said softly.

As if on cue he received a message from Chang-Wok, poor guy was sure efficient.

He passed his phone to his driver and said, "Drive".
