Chapter 394: Family Matters

“There’s someone I’d like you to meet.” Dan-Han said making Eun-sun cock a brow at him.

“Who?” She asked.

“Someone you’d like to meet, but first we have to go to city A.”

“City A?” Eun-sun frowned for a brief moment, but her face suddenly relaxed and her eyes glistened with excitement at the rememberance of the beautiful city and her beautiful date. She still hasn’t forgotten about their date there. It has been the best day of her life. How she had wished it never ended. It was a day she was certain she’d never forget it.

Dan-Han chuckled at her gleaming countenance. “Is it the food or the place that have your eyes dancing with excitement?” He teased as he ruffled her hair, but Eun-sun smacked his hand off, her eyes darting a mock glare at him.

“It’s the place of course.” She refuted with a roll of her eyes while he snorted.

“I almost believe you.” He chuckled amusedly, as he kissed the pout forming on her lips.

.....

Eun-sun frowned, at least she tried to pull one off. “You make me sound like a gourmet.” She murmured.

“You are not just a gourmet, Ms Eun-sun, but a godzilla.” He chuckled.

“Dan-Han!” Her frown deepened at the jibe he sniped at her. He wrapped his hand around her waist and kissed the tip of her nose. She had a way of effortlessly making his problems go away.

“You’re my little gourmet, Ms. Eun-sun, and seeing you eat with happy eyes gives me much satisfaction than you can ever imagine.” He pecked her before feigning an exasperated sigh. “But if only all the food you eat could go to the appropriate places, I would have been the happiest man on earth.”

“What do you mean?” She curiously demanded, not sure she knew the appropriate places he was talking about.

“A bit more fat to grope wouldn’t be a bad idea. I think you need more food, love. Black bean noodles, perhaps?” He rupt out in laughter when she gasped and lethally glared at him.

“It’s not funny, Dan-Han.” She chided.

“I know.” He agreed before stealing a quick kiss from her lips. She was his dose of happiness, and there was no disputing that. Eun-sun tried to fight back a smile as she tried to undo his tie, and he helped her with it and tossed it on the bed.

“So why are we going back there? Is it work?” Eun-sun was sure it wasn’t a date, because Dan-Han would never tell her where they were headed if it was. He was just like that. He liked the element of surprise. So it either had to be work, or something equally important. But whichever one it was, she wondered why he was taking her.

“It’s not work. It’s family matters.” He told her.

“Family matters? Then why are you taking me?” A light crease gathered on her forehead.

“Because it might take a few days and I’m incapable of leaving you alone. I’d hate to return to see you in another situation I can’t handle. You’re safer at my side.” He told her and Eun-sun understood what he was trying to say.

Although she understood his fears, she still didn’t think she wanted to be treated like a porcelain doll. She could look after herself. She was about voicing that out when he spoke up first.

“And I wanted to see use this as some sort of vacation. We’ll leave the country after I’m done with City A, maybe a stay for a week or two. Let’s make good use of your sick leave, and maybe a change of environment can make you heal faster. What do you think?” He wriggled his brows at her. There was a slight gleam in his eyes as he gazed at her.

Eun-sun could tell he was excited about the later part of his plan, the vacation, but she wasn’t fit to travel. He was the one who made a fuss over traveling a flight of stairs, so what changed now.

“But I’m not fit to travel. I won’t feel comfortable in between seats. Remember you said I shouldn’t hurt myself.” She told him.

“Well, thank God you won’t be between seat. The jet will be comfortable enough. You’ll have enough room to yourself.” He smiled.

Of course, he had his own plane. She had almost forgotten about that.

Eun-sun furrowed her brows in deep thought.

“How long are to stay in city A?”

“Three days, depends on how fast I can get things resolved.”

“And can you tell me this family business that is taking us there.” She curiously inquired, while Dan-Han shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. You’ll be safer not knowing about it.” He told her with an apologetic look. Dan-Han suddenly nervous when he saw the look on her face. Keeping things away from her wasn’t something he enjoyed doing, but he couldn’t endanger her by having her know what would harm her, especially not when Ji-Tae was involved.

“Honey I-” He gulped back his words. He had only promised her this morning that he’d always keep her in the know of whatever was going on, but things were far more dangerous now. And he couldn’t even tell her that he might have found her parents.

“I won’t lie and say I’m okay with this, but I don’t want to add to whatever you’re going through at the moment, so I’ll go with you. I know what it’s like shouldering responsibilities, and I hope you know I just want to help you with some of your burdens.”

Dan-Han leaned and pressed his forehead against hers. “I know.” He sighed.

Eun-sun nodded. “Good.” Seeing the struggle in his eyes was already enough torture for him, so she really didn’t want to make a fuss over anything because she knew Dan-Han at heart, and she knew whatever he did, he does with her in mind.

A small wave of blew across the room till Eun-sun spoke up again.

“Can Ni-Na come?” She suddenly asked while Dan-Han cocked a brow at her.

“Ni-Na? Why?” He asked.

Eun-sun shrugged. “Well she complained about not traveling much, thanks to you treating her like a child.”

“She is a child, and she should be concerned with resuming school soon.” Dan-Han firmly told her.

“Well, She’s twenty-one and resumption is still far away.” She corrected him, but he didn’t seem like he agreed.

“She has to study. She’ll be joining the company soon.” He told her.

“That shouldn’t stop her from having fun, and besides she talks about-”

Dan-Han pinched between his brows. “Don’t say the boyfriend thing.”

Eun-sun smiled. “I wasn’t going to say that, but yes, there’s that too.”

“Is this what she comes to talk about with you?” Dan-Han suspiciously asked. “Because if it is -”

“You’ll stop her from coming?”

“No, but I’ll have to talk with her. She’s trying to use you to get her away, and I’ll have her know it’s not going to work. She knows what I want and she should focus on that.”

“You’re really a high-handed man, Lee Dan-Han.” Eun-sun told him, matter of factly.

“I’ve heard you say that a hundred times before, but Ni-Na can’t have her way on this. Tell her plans for complaining failed.”

Eun-sun sighed. “She wasn’t complaining, but can she come? While you’re handling your business, she can stay with me. I really like her company.” Her eyes quickly regained their vibrant flow.

Seeing the happy and expectant look in her eyes, Dan-Han resignedly sighed. There was no saying no, and yes, Ni-Na could keep her company while he went about his work.

“Only to City-A. She’ll come back when we’re leaving.” He negotiated and Eun-sun smiled.

“It’s going to be fun.” She half squealed.

“Only you can think of fun with incomplete legs. But know I’ll have my eyes on you and that mischievous brat.”

“She’s not mischievous, she’s a sweet girl.” Eun-sun hurriedly defended Ni-Na. “And I really pray she gets to meet a good guy like you, soon.”

“Not if I kill him first.” He drawled.
