Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 333: Perks

Still on the bed, Eun-sun kept pondering on what Dan-Han had said. She needs to be strong, he had said. But how? Wasn’t she strong enough? Or did Dan-Han mean a different kind of strong?

One could be physically strong but could lack in other aspects like their emotions. Was that what he meant?

Eun-sun already prides herself as a bold and strong person, but only Dan-Han could see a weakness in her, and that made him care for her differently than every other person has ever done.

He cares for her, provides for her and protects her and she hasn’t done anything for him. All she has done was hurt him and cause him trouble even though she doesn’t meant to.

It was about time she did something for him. She has to protect him the same way he has always protected her. And she would do it. All she had to do was look for a way to do so.

Rolling off the bed, a low sigh escaped her lips when she felt the soreness down there. Noticing how uncomfortable she felt as she walked to the bathroom, she was grateful Dan-Han wasn’t around, else he’d fawn on her until she was embarrassed.

Eun-sun gasped when she saw the marks on her neck as she stood before the bathroom mirror. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the bites Dan-Han had left on her. That man! How could he?

.....

Could she ever go out with this? At first glance everyone would know what she had done. Now, she was even more than grateful that she didn’t have to go to work today.

A light frown covered her face when the door bell rang. She wondered who could be visiting Dan-Han at this time. Knowing the man fully well, she was aware he didn’t receive guest in his house, so who could it be?

Eun-sun had a curious frown on her face when she opened the door. She was shocked when she saw the gleaming smile on the face in front of her.

“Ni-Na?”

“Hello, sister In-law!” The girl chirped and pulled her into a tight hug.

‘Sister In-law?’ She cocked a brow.

Eun-sun was surprised by her hug and she hung her hand midair, not sure if she should return the hug, but fortunately the girl let go of her.

She took a look at the beautiful girl who was beaming with a radiant smile. Why were they all gorgeous? Even the annoying brother, Ji-Tae, wasn’t lacking in beauty either. If only his attitude was like his face.

She stepped aside and let Ni-Na step into the house. “Your brother is at work.” She said.

“I know, he sent me to keep you company.” Ni-Na smiled.

“Oh.” That meant he wouldn’t be back soon. Eun-sun suddenly felt disappointed. She was looking forward to spending some time with him as they haven’t done that in a while, but she also knew work was important for him.

Flashing a small smile to Ni-Na, she said. “I’m happy to have your company.” The house would have been so boring with just her alone.

“Well, I’m happy to spend time with you too, so we can know each other, and I’m even more happy to know you and brother are back.” She chirped excitedly making Eun-sun smile. It was obvious the girl was a vibrant and giddy soul, and she must love Dan-Han so much. She was alot different from when she had come to the company to meet her. She had sounded tough, but now she was like a sweet girl.

Eun-sun looked at her arm when the girl linked her their arms together.

“Noona, we must go out and have fun while brother busies himself with work. I have alot of places I want to visit and you must come along with me.” She said cheerily and Eun-sun could see the excitement dancing in her eyes.

But she wasn’t ready to go out. “But I don’t want to go out.” She said.

She had not made plans for it, and she didn’t have anything to wear, and the bite marks on her neck were not something she wanted to show the world. Her hand instinctively went to adjust the neck of the polo she had on, so as to hide the marks but that only drew Ni-Na’s attention to it.

The girl chuckled lightly seeing how cute Eun-sun was. Eun-sun felt embarrassed knowing Ni-Na had seen the love bite her brother had given her. Damn you Lee Dan-Han! She cussed in her mind.

Not wanting to make her feel more embarrassed, Ni-Na grabbed Eun-sun’s hand and pulled her upstairs not giving her a chance to protest. “We’ll get you something to wear along the road, just go freshen up.”

Eun-sun didn’t know what to do, so she agreed.

Eun-sun was surprised at what the girl could do. She had turned one of Dan-Han’s sleeved shirt into a fashionable short gown with the sleeves tied at the front like a big bow tie. She tied her small scarf on her neck to hide the bites, and also let her hair fall freely.

“This will do till we get there.” Ni-Na said with an approving smile. Eun-sun was stunned by the girl’s work. Who knew a guy’s shirt could be worn as a gown? Obviously not her.

She would show off this skill to Hei-Ran when she got back.

Eun-sun was dumbfounded when Ni-Na pulled her into the shopping complex and shoved one dress after another into her hands. She was in need of one outfit, so why the many dresses? And looking at the shop she was sure she couldn’t afford such a place. She called Ni-Na to a corner and whispered into her ears.

“I don’t think we should buy anything here. They look so expensive.” Heaven knows just a dress from here would cost her her life savings.

Ni-Na smiled when she realized Eun-sun’s worry. How cute it was to know her brother wasn’t getting involved with a gold digger. Dan-Han would never had fallen for her if she was one anyway.

“Don’t worry about anything. Brother’s card got us covered. We can shop to our hearts content.” She almost squealed out. Eun-sun narrowed her eyes at the card she was waving at her. It was a platinum card who only people like Dan-Han would have. She had seen the central bank advert on it, so she knew it at first glance.

“Dan-Han gave you his card?” To shop for her? Why does it seem that was the case.

“Not me. You!.” Ni-Na corrected her. “He wants you to get some few things for yourself.” Ni-Na said, ensuring not to say anything about the date.

“Ah, that gown will suit you.” She gushed as she signalled the sales girl to bring the black glittery card on one of the mannequins.

Eun-sun was stunned by Ni-Na’s word, but she didn’t have the time to think as Ni-Na pushed her into the dressing room with even more clothes in her hand.

“Try them all, okay. I’ll go get some more.”

‘Get some more?! What was going on?!!’

Eun-sun felt she her head might soon fall off her shoulders after trying out so many clothes. She had thought shopping with Hei-Ran was exhausting, but it Ni-Na was on another level. The girl was so energetic and bubbly, and she seemed to like fashion alot.

Her eyes widened when she saw the number of bags packed.

“Are we taking all these?” She asked in horror.

“Yes, and we’ll get more after lunch. I heard about a fashion store around. They have the lastest edition of everything.” She said as she passed the card for payment.

So they were still buying more? For her? She didn’t want that. But Ni-Na wouldn’t even let her complain.

Eun-sun almost felt her heart fall off her chest when she saw the bill. One hundred thousand!!!

Ni-Na giggled when she saw Eun-sun’s flabbergasted look. “Don’t worry sister in-law, President Lee makes this amount every hour. Enjoy the perks of dating the richest man in the country. No one can eat him poor except you, and me if you let me ride on your coat tail that is.” She winked at Eun-sun.

Eun-sun didn’t know if she should feel sorry for Dan-Han with a sister like this. But one thing was certain, she was beginning to like the girl.

In fact, she liked her already.
