Chapter 491: Not Wanting To Fight

“President L...” Secretary Chang-wok trailed off when he saw Dan-Han storming towards his office with Eun-sun being helplessly dragged behind.

Dan-Han glanced at Chang-wok. “Do not let anyone in.” He warned, and Chang-wok hastily bobbed his head before bowing to Eun-sun, who had both a helpless and angry look in her eyes.

There was no doubt there’d be hell between them because he had seen how the boss had been in the past few days, and if he could, he wanted to be far away from it, especially if it didn’t go well.

He prays everything goes well, or he might as well quit his job.

Dan-Han pulled Eun-sun into the office and slammed the door behind them, tossing her bag to the floor.

“Dan-Han, let me go!” Eun-sun snapped and yanked her hand away from him when they stepped into the office. She winced as she looked at her wrist, slightly burning with pain.

Dan-Han also peered at her hand, and he sighed when he observed how wickedly she was glaring at him.

.....

“Let me see,” He reached for her hand, but she glared even harder and took a retreating step.

“Don’t touch me.” She drawled and hissed at him.

Dan-Han’s brows twitched for a split second, but he sighed and got a hold of himself.

“I’m sorry.” He apologized while Eun-sun wickedly eyed him harder before approaching the floor-to-roof windows that overlooked the city’s amazing view.

“And what exactly are you sorry for?” She questioned while looking down from the window to see the view up there before turning back to look at him.

She wasn’t surprised when she saw the frown lines running across his face, but that didn’t faze her. “What are you really sorry for, Dan-Han? Because to me, there are a lot of things you should be sorry about.”

“Really?” He cocked a brow at her

“Yes, really.” She stubbornly nodded, and Dan-Han’s frown deepened all the more.

“You didn’t take my calls. You didn’t reply to my messages, and I left you a bunch of them! What was that for?” He demanded, and Eun-sun’s eyes glimmered with anger.

“That was for being an ass! For being a brute even to me!” She snapped.

“A brute?” Dan-Han deeply furrowed his brows.

“I asked you why you were leaving, but what did you say? That you had some important meeting. I repeatedly asked you if there were any troubles at the company, but you boldly lied to my face. You told me nothing was wrong, but I had to find out the truth from others when you should have told me, but again you didn’t!”

Eun-sun’s eyes gleamed with anger as she stared at him, but she could see equal anger in his eyes.

Dan-Han took a calm breath to hold himself before speaking up. “I didn’t tell you because-”

“You didn’t want me to be worried?” She interjected him, defiantly cocking her brows in a challenge for him to say otherwise.

Dan-Han sighed and pushed his hand through his hair. He didn’t want this. He didn’t want this fight at all. He thought he did, but right now, he didn’t want it.

He took a few steps close to her, but Eun-sun retreated, “Don’t come near me.” She warned.

“You know I can’t do that.” He told her as he sauntered towards her till he stopped before her.

His hand reached for her face, but she turned away from him. “Don’t.” She warned, even though she knew that wasn’t going to stop him.

Dan-Han reached for her face, and with his finger, he tilted her chin until her eyes met his.

“I’m sorry.” He softly apologized. “I’m sorry I always make you worry. I’m sorry, I don’t always do as I’m told.”

“You promised to always tell me the truth,” Eun-sun muttered, not wanting to lose the fight in her, but his close presence was rapidly drawing it out of her.

Dan-Han pushed a lock of her hair behind her ears. “I’m sorry for not keeping my promise to you. I didn’t mean to, but there’s no excuse for my actions. I’m sorry for everything.” He sincerely apologized.

Eun-sun’s glistening eyes peered at him as she took every expression on his face. He had quelled every anger in her, and she didn’t know what to do except forgive him and apologize too.

“I’m sorry too.” She said. “And I missed you....a lot.”

Dan-Han trailed his finger across her cheek before cupping them with both hands. “It didn’t seem like you did when you kept ignoring my gaze at the meeting. But God! I missed more.” He declared.

“I missed hearing your voice, and only God knows how I stayed these past three days without jumping on a plane and heading back to you.”

“I-” Eun-sun parted her lips to speak, but Dan-Han swallowed every one of her words when he crashed his lips on hers.

He let go of his hold on her face and pulled her closer by the waist so she’d be tightly pressed against him.

Eun-sun’s equally gripped the side of his jacket and pressed herself even closer till there was no space standing between them.

She missed him. She missed his scent, his possessive grip on her, and his fierce attack on her lips whenever he kissed her.

Everything about Dan-Han was overpowering, but she loved it and craved more of it.

She gasped with disappointment when he pulled away and broke the kiss.

His long fingers trailed across her lips. “You make me run mad, Kim Eun-sun, and I don’t think I want a cure for it.” He said with his eyes staring brightly into hers, making Eun-sun completely speechless.

“I promise to always do right by you. I’ll never keep anything away from you. I’ll always be honest and bare with you because the thought of losing you these past few days has made me realize I can’t live without you. I don’t care how many battles I’d have to fight or how many people I’ll have to put down. I’d do them and more just to be with you, to wake up at your side every day, kiss you, and make love to you even now that I’m so hard.” He closed his eyes and growled.

Eun-sun’s eyes popped wide. “You are?” She innocently asked and looked down where she saw the huge bulge on his pants while he nodded.

“It feels like it’s going to explode,” Dan-Han said with a pained expression.

Eun-sun instantly became frazzled as she wondered what to do.

Dan-Han chuckled at her cute expression. He cupped her cheeks once more and tenderly kissed her lips. “I love you, Kim Eun-sun, with all of my heart.”

Kim Eun-sun. That was her name now. Eun-sun mused.

She slipped her hand around his neck and pecked his lips. “I love you too, Dan-Han. And yes, even though you make me mad, I’d rather have this madness with you than be sane with anyone else.”

Dan-Han’s face lit up at her sweet confession. “I’m going to hold you to that.” He smiled even more brightly.

“Till we’re old and gray.” She added, and his smile grew as wide as she’d ever seen them.

How was he so handsome and fierce at the same time? She wondered.

“Wait,” she said and pulled away. She hurried to her bag Dan-Han had tossed to the ground when they entered his office.

She rummaged through it and picked up something from it. She peeked at Dan-Han before turning over to face him, while Dan-Han’s brows suspiciously narrowed when he saw the bashful yet nervous look on her face as she walked back to him with her hands hidden behind her.

“What are you hiding?” He suspiciously asked.

His brows furrowed deeper as she slowly walked back towards him but suddenly stopped a foot or two away from him.

“Babe?” He called with a tone when she kept looking at the space between them and not at him.

He was about to take a step closer, but he stopped short when Eun-sun brought out what she had been hiding behind her. It was a blue velvet box, one that contained something he knew so well.

She wasn’t about to do what he was thinking in his heart, was she?
