Chapter 362: Fake Innocence

Dan-Han was surprised by Eun-sun’s words. This was far beyond what he expected from her, especially after what she had just passed through. Every normal girl would be scared for their lives and would be extremely worried after realizing he was the reason why she had almost lost her life again, but here she was comforting him when it should be the other way round. But then again, she wasn’t like every normal girl. If she was, he wouldn’t have fallen in love with her.

Her abnormal views on life, her courage, her strength, and her consistency in fighting for the things she cared about were few of the many things he loved about her, and would always love her for.

And did she say this would be the last time she’d allow herself to be bullied? Only she would see almost being killed as an act of being bullied. But seeing the determined look on her face, he believed her words.

She wasn’t a pushover, she was a fighter. And no one was ever going to threaten or hurt her ever again, he’d make sure of that.

Not sure of what to say, Dan-Han leaned in and kissed her. He savoured those lips he had been dying to taste for days.

“I love you with all my life, baby. And I promise, no harm will ever come to you again.” He promised her.

“I know.” She smiled at him, her fingers trailing the side of his face.

.....

“But you’re still going to tell me who did it right?”

Dan-Han hesitated for a while. “I believe it’s Kwon-Nara.” He said.

“Kwon-Nara?” Eun-sun frowned as she thought about the familiar name. She has heard it before. Her brows arched as she looked at Dan-Han with incredulity. “Your ex-girlfriend?”

“She isn’t my ex-girlfriend.” He corrected.

“Really?” He had said that before, but she had not been convinced at the time.

Observing the disbelieving look in her eyes, Dan-Han sighed. “Kwon-Nara was once a family friend. Her mother had been close to my mother and they usually visited the house together intending to matchmake us. I wasn’t interested and she resulted drugging me to have her way on one of our fixed dates. She overdosed me and I developed a problem from it.”

“What problem?” Eun-sun suspiciously inquired.

“Erectile problems.” He told her.

Eun-sun frowned. Erectile problems? He didn’t have erectile problems. He was just...fine. Her eyes darted towards this groin region and Dan-Han smiled.

“You really had to look?” He amusedly scoffed while Eun-sun helplessly shrugged.

“I couldn’t help it. It looks fine to me.” She casually shrugged again.

Dan-Han slipped a piece of sliced apple into her mouth. “I guess it just had to when you came into the picture.”

Eun-sun rapidly blinked in disbelief. Her eyes darted downward and back at his face. “Are you saying?”

“That we were personally made for you.”

“You’re being too corny.” Eun-sun blushed.

“Just for you.” He smiled.

A curious frown framed Eun-sun’s face. “Wait, what if we hadn’t met? What would have happened? I’m sure some other girl would have-”

“No girl would have done anything. I have my sperm saved at a fertility hospital, so no one would have had the privilege of sharing what’s yours.”

What’s hers. Eun-sun face instantly turned red at his words. He was doing it again. Teasing her.

Was he not looking as bad as he did now, she would have smacked him.

A serious and intent look framed her face, as she looked at Dan-Han. “Only I can carry your baby, Mr Lee. You better get your...” She slightly cringed finding it difficult to mutter her next words. Dan-Han chuckled and shook his head. She shook her head and continued. “Go get ‘THAT’ back from the clinic.”

“You amaze me. After having sex thrice with me, you can’t say sperm?” He teased, his brows tauntingly cocked at her.

Eun-sun turned her face away. Her face turned even more red than a cooked lobster.

“Park Eun-sun, say sperm.”

“Go away!”

“It’s inside of you.” He teased.

“Lee Dan-Han!” She glared at him. He was brutally teasing her.

He laughed. “Fake innocence.”

“Whatever!” She rolled her eyes at him.

She still couldn’t believe that the annoying girl who kept smiling at Dan-Han was the one who called a hit on her. Well, this was the last time. If they all wanted her man, they’ll have to do more than try to kill her, because after surviving this life for so long, and after all she has been through, she refuses to die. At least not before getting the full compensation for the hard-knock years, she has lived. And just so they know, her compensation was going to be a very long one, so they’ll need a very long life to keep up with her.

A few hours passed with the couple accompanying each other, which had more to do with Dan-Han endlessly teasing Eun-sun almost to the point of tears when people trooped into the room as if they had planned to show up at the same time.

“Oh my God, you’re awake.” Hei-Ran cried in relief as she tried not to pounce on Eun-sun. Eun-sun winced when Hei-Ran slightly hit her dislocated arm.

“I’m sorry.” She apologized. Dan-Han excused himself and walked to the sofa, so they could have more space. He bowed to his uncle and aunt who walked toward Eun-sun.

Eun-sun was surprised to see them. “Uncle, Aunty.” She greeted as she tried to seat upright, but Dan-Han’s warning gaze made her lie still.

“You shouldn’t move too much.” Ni-Na’s mother advised.

“How are you feeling?” Ni-Na’s dad asked.

“I’m fine,” Eun-sun replied.

“Are you sure?” The old couple asked at the same time, while Eun-sun nodded affirmatively. But despite her response, they chose to confirm with Dan-Han, and Ni-Na’s dad charged Jae-Hyun to carry out an extensive test on her to ensure she was perfectly okay.

Eun-sun smiled inwardly as her heart swelled with joy and happiness. In the past, she had no one to visit her in the hospital, except Hei-Ran and Ji-Sang, but now there were a lot of faces in her room, all worried and concerned about her well being. Her eyes gazed at Dan-Han, and she couldn’t love the man any less. He was the reason why she was receiving so much love and care.

As happy as she was to see everybody, she was surprised to see In-Ha standing beside Jae-Hyun and Ni-Na by the door. She turned to Dan-Han who feigned ignorance like he didn’t know In-Ha was standing there and staring at her. Dan-Han didn’t seem angry so they must have rectified their issues, right? Did he know In-Ha had confessed his feelings for her? She dreaded the answer to that question.

Eun-sun didn’t know how to face In-Ha, and she could guess their conversation would be quite odd. But as odd as it would be, she was happy he came to see her.

Eun-sun was completely stunned when someone made his presence known by walking past Ni-Na and In-Ha. Everyone watched as he strolled towards her with a bouquet of red roses.

“I heard you like roses.” He threw a smile at her as he stretched out the flowers. Eun-sun dumbfoundedly stared at him, before turning to Dan-Han who was staring at Ji-Tae and his bouquet.

“Thank you.” She said without receiving the flowers, she gestured with her chin that her hand was in bad shape.

Ji-Tae smiled and dropped the flowers on the side table before glancing at her again. “It’s good to have you here. I pray you don’t pull such a stunt again.”

“Mmm,” She mumbled, not feeling comfortable talking to him.

Ji-Tae awkwardly stared at her before looking at Dan-Han. She thought he had something to say, but he simply walked away. Maybe it was better if he didn’t say anything.

Eun-sun had small talks with everyone except In-Ha, who promised to be back before pulling Jae-Hyun away.

“You got me scared,” Hei-Ran told her when it was just them.

“Sorry, I did.”

“You should be more careful.” Hei-Ran scolded her making Eun-sun apologize again.

“When are you coming home? The house feels empty without you. Will you come back when you get discharged from here?”

Eun-sun’s eyes darted towards the door before shooting Hei-Ran a cautious look. “Don’t ask such a question out loud. You don’t want to get on Dan-Han’s bad side.”

Hei-Ran chuckled. “Possessive much?”

“You have no idea.” She sighed. “But I like it.” She shyly shrugged while Hei-Ran defeatedly shook her head.

“Of course, you would.” She smiled. Hei-Ran helped Eun-sun with the apples Dan-Han had peeled for her while they continued talking.

“How was your date?” Hei-Ran asked when she remembered. “I didn’t get to hear the gist or see pictures. Quickly tell me everything I’ve been dying to hear.” Hei-Ran switched into her full gossipy mood.

Eun-sun shook her head in disbelief. This girl had a real talent for gossip. Why did she feel, Hei-Ran was only worried for her because of this gist. But anyway she reached for Dan-Han’s phone by her side and showed the pictures he took of her.

She had more pictures on her phone, but she feared it was damaged as she hasn’t seen it since she woke up.

“He took you to Ethereal Paradise?” Hei-Ran asked in shocked surprise. Her eyes widened when Eun-sun affirmatively bobbed her head up and down. She gasped.

“President Lee is romantic? I can’t believe it.”

“Of course he is. My baby is a helpless romantic.” Eun-sun jumped to her man’s defence, making Hei-Ran shoot her a mock glare.

They burst out in laughter before they continued looking through the pictures.

Eun-sun glanced at Hei-Ran when something came to her mind.

“About A-Yeong’s issue, any news yet?” She inquired.

“Nope.”

“Nothing?”

“Nope,” Hei-Ran answered.

“Do you think A-Yeong has a boyfriend?” Eun-sun asked making Hei-Ran furrow her brows at her. She burst out in laughter after a few seconds of silence.

“A-Yeong and a man? Who’ll be crazy enough to date her? She’ll scare any normal man with her overbearing and crafty attitude.”

Eun-sun thought about it, and she thought that was true. A-yeong always acted like she didn’t need anyone, especially not a man. She was power enthused.

“Did something happen?” Hei-Ran asked when she observed the thoughtful look on Eun-sun’s face.

.....

She shrugged and sighed. “I don’t know if it’s anything, but I saw her outside the city with Dan-Han’s cousin, the one who gave me red flowers, and they say he’s troublesome.”

“Really?” Hei-Ran was surprised.

“Yeah.” Eun-Sun confirmed.

“Do you think they’re together?” Hei-Ran inquired.

“I don’t know. But maybe I can ask Dan-Han. He might know. Should I ask?” She wanted Hei-Ran’s permission before talking about her family matters with Dan-Han.

“I don’t know. What do you think?” She asked for Eun-sun’s opinion.

“I think we should. it’s not like it would cost any harm, right? And who knows what we might find. A creepy man and a manipulative woman together isn’t a good pair.”
