Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 179 - Punishment

Even after apologizing, Eun-sun didn't think Dan-Han had forgiven her. He still looked very much angry at her, and in all honesty she didn't like it. It was already the close of work and he still hasn't said anything to her. Earlier after lunch he had just walked out without looking back at her. His silence and extreme cold look was making her feel very uncomfortable.

When the car stopped in front of her apartment, Dan-Han stepped out of the car to open the door for her, as usual.

Eun-sun looked at his stoic face before alighting the car. Dan-Han closed the door and said, "Good night"

Dan-Han turned around to leave but he couldn't. He felt something tugging on his sleeve. He slowly turned to look at the small hand holding his sleeve, and slowly he trailed it till his eyes landed on her face, but her head was lowered.

Eun-sun looked at him from the corner of her eyes and she saw him looking at her so intently. She lowered her eyes down and bit her nether lips. She tried to take a peek at him again and indeed he was still looking at her. Eun-sun could feel her heart begin to thump wildly against her chest, she had impulsively held his sleeves but she didn't know what to do next.

Was she to say something? What should she say?

Awkwardly clearing her throat, Eun-sun slowly lifted her eyes to Dan-Han, prompting him to intense his gaze at her, as he waited to hear what she had to say.

"Errm...Mr Lee are...you still angry?" She asked in a small voice, her eyes fluttering nervously.

Dan-Han kept his gaze on her without saying anything. His eyes were zeroed on her face most especially her small firm lips which were moving in slow motion.

Eun-sun looked at him as she waited for his reply but he didn't say anything. Her heart skid a huge beat, when he remained mute. She wasn't really liking this.

"Mr Lee won't you talk to me again?" She asked again, this time her voice was smaller than the first time. Dan-Han couldn't but admit to himself that he was really enjoying seeing her like this. This was the first time she was making so much effort talking to him and apologizing to him. She was even pleading to talk to him. If this wasn't progress he doesn't know what is.

"Do you miss my voice that much?" He asked with a nonchalant tone. Without thinking much about what he had said Eun-sun nodded her head, but when she realized what she was doing she vigorously shook her head. Dan-Han stayed his gaze on her for a while before turning his face away from her face. He had to if he didn't want to do something that would make her uncomfortable.

His action made Eun-sun very uneasy. She had not thought much about Dan-Han's impact on her, but now she was really getting to see that he really had a huge effect on her. One which no one had never had on her, and it was making her helpless.

Eun-sun kept staring at him, a part of her was telling her to make him forgive her, but how was she going to do that?

"Mr Lee" She called again but Dan-Han didn't look at her, but she didn't relent as she called again, pulling on his sleeves one more time. Dan-Han looked at her small hand still clinging on to him, before glancing at her face.

"Mr Lee don't be angry. I promise I won't hug In-Ha again and I won't skip breakfast" She said in a small yet firm voice. Dan-Han still stayed mute as he kept looking at her. More like on her small lips which were moving on their own accord and the way she was occasionally biting them was messing with his brain.

Dan-Han signed, "You're just making a lot of promises that you won't keep"

Vigorously shaking her head she said, "I'll keep to it. I won't break my promise. I'll eat my breakfast, lunch, anything you tell me to eat"

"Anything?" Dan-Han asked, cocking his brow at her.

"Yes" She nodded her head.

"You can even punish me, I won't mind" As far as you don't stop talking to me. Dan-Han was the first person who has treated her so well and had never looked down on her. He has helped her tremendously and there was this effect he was having on her that she unashamedly accepts, makes her feel good and giddy.

Raising a brow at her, Dan-Han asked, "I can?" while Eun-sun bobbed her head vigorously.

"So what if I want to punish you now?" Dan-Han asked, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.

"Now?" Eun-sun asked in a surprise tone.

"What? You don't want to get punished again?" Dan-Han asked, while Eun-sun shook her head.

"You can" She replied. She was just surprised, she wasn't expecting him to punish her now. What was he going to punish her with?

"Okay" Dan-Han replied, a mischievous smile tugging on his lips which Eun-sun didn't miss. Eun-sun couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw that usual demonic smile on his face. It doesn't look good.

Eun-sun was startled when Dan-Han took a step towards her and put his hand around her. Her eyes fluttered rapidly when he did that, and when he inched closer to her.

"Mr...Mr Lee, w..hat are you...doing?" She asked as she slowly leaned backwards, but Dan-Han tightened his hold on her, pulling her closer till her body hit his broad chest. Eun-sun jerked when she felt his arm around her back, and her body pressed against him like that. Her heart started drumming, thudding, and racing faster.

"Punishing you" He said as he tightened his hand around her again.

His eyes gazed directly into her eyes before they slowly fell on her lips which were looking quite rosy. He had seen how rosy they looked earlier today and it had taken a lot of will power not to look at them, because he knew he might not be able to refrain himself from claiming them. But not anymore.
