Chapter 134 - Desperado

Eun-sun's eyes remained fixed on the door even after Dan-Han had left, she felt an awkward feeling sear through her after he left like that. She looked at the food laid on the table, the pills he had dropped before leaving, her eyes looked at the ruffled couch and she felt sad. It looks like he slept there.

Dan-Han had done a lot for her, he had taken care of her all through the night, made her breakfast, and had even slept on a couch for her in their cranked-up apartment which was nothing compared to the grand mansion in which he lived. She couldn't believe Dan-Han had done all of this, he wasn't a common man who'd do things like this for people, but he had done this for her. The least she should have done was say thank you. She felt disappointed in herself.

She looked at the plate placed in front of the seat he previously occupied, he didn't even take a bite but he watched her eat instead. She was the one who was supposed to look after him and take care of him as per his mother's request, but yet he was the one doing it for her. She really should have acted better.

Eun-sun lowered herself down to her seat and sighed deeply. He must be angry with her and might see her as an ungrateful person. She had to apologize to him and express her profound gratitude.

She was still thinking about how to go about apologizing to Dan-Han when she suddenly remembered something. She was yet to see Hei-Ran, where was she? She had left her at the club last night, didn't she come back? She asked herself and hurried back to the room to call her.

.....

Hei-Ran was still in shock after listening to all Jinhai had said. She had run out of his in mortification when Jinhai told her the unbelievable thing she had done.

She shook her head in disbelief as she buried her face in her palms while sitting in the back seat of the cab which was taking her home. Jinhai had offered to take her home, but she had blatantly declined. She didn't know how she was going to seat in the same car or stay in the same space with him.

She was dead!

Why couldn't she remember anything?! Had she truly said those stuff to him? What had suddenly come over her? Hei-Ran facepalmed inwardly.

She squealed out in embarrassment when she remembered what he had said to her about kissing him. She pulled on the root of her hair frustratedly.

Her actions made the taxi look at her through the rearview mirror with concern. Hope a beautiful lady like herself wasn't having some mental issue?

Hei-Ran noticed the awkward look he was giving her. She smiled embarrassedly and apologized to him. The smile disappeared off her face when she remembered what she had been thinking about and it was quickly replaced with a frantic look.

Did she truly kiss him?

Hei-Ran closed her eyes tightly as she tried to remember what had transpired last night. This was why she shouldn't drink, she always ends up doing something stupid and completely forgets all about it. She wasn't like Eun-sun who could drink and still keep her memories intact. That girl was a heavy drinker.

She remembered talking to Ji-sang about some meaningless stuff, and him asking her to go home. She had refused but he had helped her up and started leading her towards the door, and slowly out of the club.

She remembered seeing someone who was strangely familiar. Was that her boss'?

She had to confirm this. Maybe she should call Ji-Sang and ask him.

'Gosh! this is so embarrassing' She cried in her heart as she dialed Ji-Sang's number. Maybe she could still reach him before he leaves. Fortunately, he picked after the first ring.

"Hey, desperado!" Ji-Sang's teased the moment he answered the call. Hei-Ran could hear the smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" She frowned.

"Let me guess you don't remember huh?" He asked amusedly. Hei-Ran's heart skipped when she heard him. She really did something stupid, didn't she?

"Don't worry, I'll tell you for free without you asking" He teased.

"Ji-Sang did I, ...did... I truly" She couldn't bring the other words out.

"kiss him?" Ji-Sang asked tauntingly. He knew that was what she was too ashamed to ask.

"You did worse, you molested him"

"Mr. Song?" She had drunkenly called out as she batted her eyelashes drunkenly.

~~~Flashback~~~~~

"Hei-Ran?" Jinhai called out in disbelief. He looked at her from head to toe. She was drunk. His eyes darted towards the guy who was holding her and had his hand around her waist. His face turned dark and sullen as he eyed the hand wrapped around her.

Was he the guy she had gone on a date with? He asked angrily. What was it that Ga-Yeon had said again about her not being on a date? She should come and see now. He hissed inwardly.

Ji-Sang noticed the strange look the man was shooting at him, he recognized him as Hei-Ran's boss. They all knew him because Hei-Ran has always complained about how mean he was. What was it with all the glares he was receiving today? He had only asked to spend one night with his friends, but he couldn't even get to enjoy that.

"Hello, I'm Ji-Sang" He greeted with a small smile on his face as he stretched a hand to shake the man. Jinhai looked at his hand and reluctantly accepted it. He didn't want to be rude or something.

"I'm Song Jinhai" He introduced himself.

"I Know"

"He knows," Hei-Ran said in her drunken state as she tried to stand upright, but it seems like the earth was suddenly spinning.

Jinhai looked at the drunken girl and glanced back to Ji-sang with a questioning gaze.

"You do?" He asked. He didn't know how Hei-Ran's date knew who he was. That was strange.

Hei-Ran snorted when she heard him, making Jinhai and Ji-sang glance at her.

"All my friends know my evil boss who has refused to let me find a boyfriend and get married. Don't worry they only hate you, they don't speak Ill of you" She blabbered out.

Ji-Sang looked at Jinhai embarrassedly. He gave him an apologetic look on her behalf. He tried pinching Hei-Ran on the side to stop her from spewing nonsense before she gets herself fired by morning.

Imagine being sober and getting fired for all the things you had drunkenly said and wished you never said.

"Stop pinching me" Hei-Ran snapped at Ji-Sang and yanked his hand off her, she stumbled to the side almost falling to the ground, but both men were quick enough to hold her steady.

"Leave me alone" She brushed Ji-Sang's hand's off her. While Jinhai held her wobbling self steady.

She held onto the sleeve of Jinhai's shirt.

"Mr. Song you're to blame for my current predicament. You're the reason why I'm still single at Twenty-eight. You and your stupid job which unfortunately I love so much. If it wasn't for the fact that I like working with you, I'd have stopped working with you. But look now I'm single, my mother hates me because I'm single, and she'll kill me if she finds out I lied about us and would give me off in marriage to the next available man. Mr. Song, only you're responsible for all this" She yakked, her face showing a very deep frown while both men looked at her in stupefaction.

"Hei-Ran!" Ji-Sang called out to stop her, but she simply declared.

"Marry me" She gingerly declared, startling both men, while holding tightly on to Jinhai's sleeve.

"Huh??" The men simultaneously gasped in surprise. Jinhai was more stunned than Ji-Sang was....he couldn't believe he was getting a marriage proposal right now. He knew she was drunk but he wasn't expecting an outright proposal at the moment.

Well, he didn't mind, but certainly not under this condition. She was drunk to stupor and probably won't remember all she was saying now.

"Hei-Ran" Ji-Sang called again as he tried to pull her away to savor the situation, but the stubborn girl hit his hand away, eyed him, and returned her attention to Jinhai, who was still very much looking stunned.

"Since you've made me single, you have to marry me and take responsibility, or I'll kiss you and you'll take responsibility" She declared giving Jinhai another round of shock. He was sort of amused by her behavior, maybe he should get her drunk more often. He was yet to register the fact that she has just threatened him into marrying her in his head when she suddenly hooked her hand around his neck, pulling him down before slamming her lips against him making his eyes widened in shock.

~~~~End of flashback ~~~~~

"I did that?!" Hei-Ran yelped in shock and disbelief. Ji-Sang chuckled amusedly when he heard her reaction. He had expected this.

"You really molested your boss" He tsked as he made fun of her.

"Shut up!" She snapped making Ji-Sang burst out in laughter. She was sure on deep shit.

"Alright miss desperado, I've got to go. My cab is here. I'll face time you guys when I get there okay"

"Hmm" Was all she could mumble out before Ji-Sang ended the call. She was dumbfounded by her shamelessness.

What was she going to do know?

How did she disgrace her ancestors like this?!
