Chapter 111 - Running Away From Him
Eun-sun was standing in front of Dan-Han\'s door of Dan-Han\'s door the next morning. She didn\'t knowing how to deliver the food his breakfast to him.
She was yet to understand why he had said he would be skipping his breakfast every morning. If she decides not to bring him the food, his mother might just call and ask her, and what should she do then? Lie?
No! she shook her head. she didn\'t want to lie to her.
"Are you going in?" She heard Secretary Chang-wok\'s voice from behind her. She turned to him and glared daggers at him. He was the reason why she was caught yesterday, and why Dan-Han had done those things to her.
She turned away from him and returned her focus back to the door. Only God knew what would happen today.
She didn\'t want to be harassed like she was yesterday. She pursed her lips tightly as she tried to come up with an escape plan, just in case Dan-Han tried to do anything funny with her today.
After calming herself by taking deep breaths - which has become something which has does lately, thanks to Dan-Han– she slowly knocked on the door.
"Come in" She heard him say from behind the door. She closed her eyes tightly to muster more courage before opening the door.
She slowly stepped into the office, and she saw him deeply engrossed in his work.
"Good morning President Lee" She greeted from where she stood.
"Hmm" He muttered back, without raising his head to look at her.
"I brought–"
"Drop it on the table" Dan-Han interjected her. He knew the reason why she was there in his office.
"Okay sir" She nodded. She looked at him one more time before walking towards the center table in the office. She set up the food on the table as quickly as she could. She wanted to get out of the office as soon as possible, most especially now when he was so engrossed with his work.
She lifted up her gaze to look at him, when she was done and she noticed he was still looking at whatever was sitting inside his laptop. Seeing him like that, she had to admit there was something different about him. Maybe it was because he was so buried in his work that made him look ...captivating.
\'What are you thinking? Get your head straight Park Eun-sun\' She chided herself.
\'Define the term Captivating?\' She asked herself in her mind in a stern tone.
"Mr Lee–"
"Sit" Came his voice in a cold tone.
"Huh?"
For the first time Dan-Han lifted his eyes to look at her, and he saw her staring at her with a confused expression. He stood up from his seat and walked round it his eyes not leaving her for a minute. He slowly made his way closer to where she was standing. With every step he took, Eun-sun\'s heart skidded a beat.
Stopping right in front of her, he said "Sit" He told in a firm tone, but she slowly shook her head, without looking at him.
Dan-Han was surprised when he saw her shake her head, rejecting his orders.
"Eun-sun" He called out in a low and dangerous tone, but Eun-sun still shook her head. She didn\'t want to. Who knew what he was going to do her if she sat down. Would he hold her again?
No!, she didn\'t want that. What he did yesterday, putting his hand around her waist like he did had tortured her all day. She was yet to take it out of her mind. And the words he said had been on a loop in her mind. Her brain had refused to delete it out of her memory space, despite all her plea to forget.
Dan-Han cocked a brow at her when she adamantly kept shaking her head.
"Look at me" He told her, and again she shook her head.
Dan-Han chuckled inaudibly. \'Was she going to shake her head day?\' He asked himself.
He took a step towards her, and she instinctively took a step back.
"It\'s that how you\'re going to do it now?" He asked her, but she diy reply. Eun-sun could feel her heart beat haphazardly. It was beatong without control and at the rate it was beating, her rib cage might fracture soon.
Dan-Han took another step towards her and again she responded by taking another step backward. Dan-Han\'s lips curved upward when she did that. He looked behind her and he chuckled out, making Eun-sun lift her gaze to him, wondering what was amusing him.
Her skipped a beat when she caught sight of the smile on his face. Did she just see something like a dimple?
Wh-hy was he looking like that? Like he had a fine- face. She slightly shook her head to get those awkward thoughts out of her head.
Dan-Han yet took another step towards and she took another backward, but this time she finally muttered something, "Pres-ident Lee"
"Mmm" He replied as he took again another step, making respond as usual with a backward step of her one, but this time she snapped her head back when her back touched a hard flat surface. It was the wall....A fucking wall!!
Eun-sun snapped her head towards him, ansd again her heart skipped not just one but several beats because this time Dan-Han was smiling at her, but more like he was flashing a gorgeous smirk at her.
Why was he lo-oking so handsome? Was something wrong with her eyes now?
"Are you going to say something or should I?" Dan-Han cocked a brow at her.
She tried opening her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"Then that\'s a no I suppose?" He said as he slowly covered the space between them.
He noticed the way her eyes kept darting to and fro, in an attempt not to look at him.
"Look at me" He said again and yet again she shook her hand. He lifted his hand up and gently yet firmly held her chin in place. She stiffened the moment his hand came in contact with her face.
"Why do you keep running away from me?" Dan-Han said as he used his free hand to pin her against the wall.
"I— I\'m - not running" Eun-sun replied avoiding his gaze that seemed to scorch her skin. Her response made him chuckle amusedly.
"I don\'t think so, are you scared of me? or maybe your little heart can\'t stop thumping at the sight of me" he asked with a smirk as he tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ears.
"I..My heart doesn\'t.." she stuttered as she subconsciously touched her chest.
"Then let me make it" he said in a husky voice as he leaned closer and nibbled on the sensitive part of her ear.
"Pres.."
"Dan-Han. Just Dan-Han" He said cutting her off as he slipped his hands around her waist making her swallow hard and her breath hitched. She felt her body stiffen when he snaked his hand around her like that. Her heart began to drum like crazy, when he started inching closer towards her lips.
Wh- hat was he about to do? She asked herself in trepidation. She tried to move head but his gaze looked her down.
"Just be still and let me, after all you still owe me" He said with a smirk before his lips slowly covered her\'s.
Her eyes flew wide open the moment his lips touched hers. She felt all the blood in her body rush to her brain. Her heart stopped beating and her knees went numb. She felt like was drowning and was running out of air.
"Eun-sun, wake up" She heard someone yell her name and just like someone who had ran out of air, Eun-sun gasped the moment her eyes flew wide open. She immediately sat up right the moment she opened her eyes. She looked around the room and she couldn\'t believe it.
"What\'s wrong with you?" Hei-Ran asked with concern as she sat close to her. She had noticed she was trying hard to breathe in her sleep and that had scared her, prompting her to wake her up.
Eun-sun was still in shock, looked around the room once more and then back at Hei-Ran who was looking at her with concerned eyes.
"It was a dream" She muttered out, much to her own relief. But it felt so real.
"You had a night mare?" Hei-Ran curiosly inquired. She had to admit she was scared when she saw her like that.
"It was more than a night mare" \'I have just been harassed in dream\' she added in her head.
Hei-Ran hugged her and slowly patted her back, but Eun-sun was no where relieved by this kind gesture.
How the hell did that man find his way into her dream?! Just how the hell was she going to face the real night mare by the time she got to work?!
She was so dead!
