Chapter 188: Thinking About him

As much as Eun-sun kept quiet all through the drive to the street dance competition, In-Ha barely took his eyes off her. He stole glances at her now and then. Although he had no idea what she was thinking about, he just couldn’t help but admire the easy and pleasant nature of her face as she remained calm like that.

Though her face was small, her side profile still showed just how beautiful she was. She was a pretty girl and her pretty face has been popping up in his thoughts lately. ????????????r????????????. ????????????

Arriving at the venue, In-Ha slightly nudged her because she was still too immersed in her reverie.

“We are here.” He told her with a small smile.

“Hmm?” Eun-sun looked outside the window and indeed they had arrived at the venue. Loud music was blaring across the street and various groups of people walked around with their get-ups. She turned to look at In-Ha, “That was quick” She said in a small voice while In-Ha chuckled.

“I’ve been driving for the last half-hour, you call that quick?” He tilted a brow at her.

“Really, half an hour?” She asked in surprise, while In-Ha nodded his head.

.....

“What were you thinking about?” In-Ha couldn’t help but ask. He had a feeling it had to do with the awkwardness he had sensed between her and Dan-Han, but he wasn’t a hundred per cent sure about it.

“Nothing” She lowered her eyes and replied. She didn’t want to talk about it, most especially not with In-Ha who was his best friend. In-Ha looked at her for a while and nodded his head. If she didn’t want to tell, he couldn’t force her. So with a smile on his face, he said, “Let’s go”

Eun-sun nodded her head and stepped out. She was surprised by how colourful the street looked, it was like a carnival. A smile split her face when she saw a group of toddlers all dressed up and ready to perform. They were like mini angels.

“They look cute.” She chirped, slightly nudging In-Ha to take a look at the cuties that had stopped by their side. Her smile broadened when one of the girls wearing a tiara waved her wand at her and said, “Aunty, you look pretty too” Eun-sun blushed at the baby’s cuteness, obviously the little girl had her call them cute.

Eun-sun crouched down and touched the little girl’s round and fluffy cheek, “Thank you, but you’re far prettier. All of you are pretty” She said with a sweet smile as she looked at the beauties in front of her.

“Thank you, aunty” They all chorused and bowed before walking away, following the only adult in their midst. Eun-sun kept staring at them as they walked away.

In-Ha who was standing by her side couldn’t tear his eyes off her. The sight of her smiling so sweetly and behaving so cutely with the kids made his heart flutter, a smile also grazed his face as he continued to stare at her.

Eun-sun turned to look at him, she was surprised to see him staring at her with a smile on his face.

“Why are you smiling like that?” She asked smilingly.

“You’re beautiful” In-Ha absentmindedly blurted out. He was too captivated by her mesmerizing smile and her incredible nature.

Eun-sun didn’t know where the compliment was coming from, but she smiled and replied, “Thank you, but you could have said it to those little angels”

In-Ha chucked out when he heard her. He did take note of those little angels she was talking about, but his eyes were only focused on a particular one.

“Come on let’s go,” In-Ha said, he held her hand and they both walked away to watch the event, but to In-ha he only had to watch her.

...

Next morning

Eun-sun woke up feeling tired, she had danced a lot last night....okay fine, she had attempted to dance but she sulked at it, and crazy In-Ha didn’t miss the opportunity to tease her with it. Thinking about it now she smiled broadly.

In-Ha was so much fun to hang out with, and not to mention he was a nutcase with a childish character. He made her miss Ji-Sang. She, Ji-Sang and Hei-Ran were once like that when they were little until things went south for her and she didn’t have the time or zeal to hang out anymore, because at age fifteen she had to become an adult and take care of the home, and the family her father left behind. Taking multiple part-time jobs, going to school and taking care of an alcoholic mother was too much responsibility for a fifteen-year-old child, but she did all that. So much that she had forgotten about herself in the long run.

But not anymore, she was going to do what makes her happy henceforth. And hanging out last night was so much fun and she’d like to do it again. If only ice prince was there, he’d had had fun too.

Eun-sun paused her thought when she realized what/who she had just thought about.

‘Park Eun-sun not again!!!’ She chided herself.

“Thinking about him again are you?” She heard Hei-Ran ask as she walked out of the bathroom. Eun-sun snapped her head towards her, “Thinking about who?” She asked feigning ignorance.

Hei-Ran rolled her eyes at her.

“You know you’ve developed a new expression these last two days and I’ve attributed it to president Lee. So tell me he didn’t come to your mind right now?” Hei-Ran asked giving her a knowing look, daring her to deny the truth.

Eun-sun’s eyes darted back and forth trying to avoid Hei-Ran’s gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” She replied as she rolled out of bed. Hei-Ran chuckled when she heard her.

“Keep lying to yourself Eun-sun. You like him, and the sooner you realize that and accept it, the better it would be, and the less torture you’d have to endure” Hei-Ran told her. Eun-sun quietly glanced at her for a while before stepping into the bathroom.

What was she to say?

She didn’t know if she liked him, and even if she did it didn’t make sense if they should be together, as a matter of fact, it was an impossible fit.

A girl like her dating the business tycoon like Dan-Han? What would people say? That she had seduced him and climbed her way out of poverty? There were going to be too many rumours surrounding them. So no! she’d rather stay like this and not fall for him.

Eun-sun was still pondering about all this stuff when her phone started to ring. She was surprised to see it was Mrs Lee calling, and she hastily answered it.

“Hello Auntie, good morning” She greeted, a smile curving her lips.

“Good morning to you too my sweet girl” Mrs Lee replied.

“How are you today? Had a good night rest I suppose?” Mrs Lee asked.

“Yes, I did. And you?”

“Fine. I did” She replied.

“Sweetheart, I was hoping you could accompany your aunty to go shopping on Saturday, do you think you’ll be able to?” Mrs Lee asked.

“Shopping?” Eun-sun asked. She remembered Mrs Lee had asked her about this a while ago.

“Yes dear, but only if you’ll be chanced,” She told her.

“Of course, I’ll be. I’ll be chanced” Even if she wasn’t free, she’d create the time to go out with her. She loved the woman’s company and she didn’t mind spending all day with her.

“Okay, I’ll call you and pick you up by Saturday”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting” Eun-sun chirped. She didn’t know why she always felt happy and excited when she saw Mrs Lee. Right now she was already anticipating spending time with her by Saturday.

Eun-sun dropped her phone on the vanity and turned towards the wardrobe, she was startled when she saw Hei-Ran standing behind her.

She gasped, “Hei-Ran what is wrong with you?” She asked as she pats her chest. She wasn’t supposed to be startled since Hei-Ran was inside the house with her, but seeing her right beside her was very creepy.

Eun-sun squinted her eyes when Hei-Ran gave her a knowing look.

“What is it now?”

“Treating the mother as a mother-in-law, yet you don’t want to like the son. Eun-sun are you okay?”

Eun-sun was dumbfounded by her question.

When has she treated Mrs Lee as her mother-in-law

“Hei-Ran something is wrong with you” Eun-sun hissed.

“No, it is you who has something weird going up in that head of yours. Haven’t you suffered enough? Why don’t you give yourself a break and allow yourself to enjoy life for once? Why can’t you just accept this good thing that’s coming up in your life?” Hei-Ran asked her.

“And why are you so keen on this topic? Do you like him as well?” Eun-sun asked.

“Oh, so you admit you like him now” Hei-Ran cocked a brow at her.
