Chapter 163 - Boyfriend Duty

Eun-sun felt her skip a thousand beat when Dan-Han requested for a ki..ss.

'Kiss?' Eun-sun asked herself. Her eyes blinking rapidly and her heart beating frantically like there was a drum beating inside. She held her breath and moved her head backward when he suddenly inched closer to her.

"Mr...Mr. Lee?" Eun-sun called almost inaudibly. Her heart was racing too fast and her cheek was slightly burning up when she saw the look on his face, and how he was closing in on her.

Dan-Han smirked when he saw the look on her face. He leaned forward again, and just when Eun-sun thought he was about to really kiss her on her lips since his eyes have been fixed on it, he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Eun-sun had felt like her heart had seized when she saw inching closer like that. She had thought he was truly going to kiss her now. And she had been too stunned to move.

Dan-Han looked at her face, he trailed his hand down her cheek, till he brushed his thumb on her lower lip making Eun-sun purse it.

"One day I'll make them mine and I'll kiss you senseless," He said with a smile, before standing up from the couch and walked out of the room. Eun-sun let go of the breath she had been holding, as she placed her hand on her wildly beating heart to calm herself.

'Wh....what was that? And why does it suddenly feel so hot?' Eun-sun asked herself. She subconsciously touched her lips. Did he say he was going to make them his? She felt goosebumps crawling under her skin as she thought about that.

Eun-sun was completely dazed by her actions. She shouldn't have been so surprised when she heard his demand to kiss him. This was Dan-Han.

He was only the boss who could be so bold and shameless to ask for a 'kiss' or 'date' in such a way. Eun-sun shook her head to get the thoughts of Dan-Han's handsome face and that of his warm breath that had caressed her face.

Thinking about how close their lips were seconds ago, and all those kind promises he had made to her, she kind of felt giddy and her heart fluttered again.

'Park Eun-sun!!' She chided her thoughts.

Soon Dan-Han returned with a nurse who dressed the wound in Eun-sun's leg.

"What do you want to do?" Dan-Han asked her, after placing her back on the bed.

"I want to call my friend, she might be worried about me," Eun-sun told him. She could imagine how worried Hei-Ran would be since she hasn't returned home and she hasn't called her also.

"I sent someone to her, but you can still call her," He said passing his phone.

"Uhmm...Mr. Lee, where's my phone?" Eun-sun asked instead of receiving the one he was handing over to her.

"It's dead. Someone will get a charger for it later, just make use of mine" He told her. He had ordered Tae-Ho to retrieve her phone from her mother's bag but the battery had died off.

Nodding her head, Eun-sun received the phone and quickly dialed Hei-Ran's number.

....

Hei-Ran's Apartment

Hei-Ran has not been able to calm down since she woke up, despite all of Jinhai's effort to placate her, she couldn't stop herself from panicking.

"Hei-Ran, please calm down," Jinhai said for the thousandth time.

"I've made some calls, we'll get some feedback soon" He tried to pacify her, but she shook her head as she tapping her feet on the ground.

Her head was running to a thousand places where Eun-sun could be. She hasn't been this troubled last night, but looking at the time now, her fear grew worse.

"No, I can't be calm. She's my sister and she has never done something like this before. Eun-sun is responsible, she would always call and inform me if something happens to her." She gasped, her eyes widened to the fullest when a thought flew into her mind.

She turned to look at Jinhai who was sitting close to her on the couch.

"Jinhai, what if something happened to her? What if someone had kidnapped her or worst beat her up and she's lying helplessly somewhere?" Hei-Ran franticly asked. This time not only her legs were shaking her hands were also shaking.

Jumping to her feet, she picked up her phone and with a quavering hand she began to dial the emergency number."We have to call the police" To her Eun-sun had passed through a lot already, and she should take care of her and also try to make her happy.

Jinhai sighed when he saw how Hei-Ran was getting worked up. Her anxiety was also making him anxious. He stood up and grabbed her phone before pulling her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing? I have to call the cops" Hei-Ran tried to break away from his hold but the man hugged her more.

"Please relax, nothing is going to happen to her okay. Maybe she went somewhere, she'll be fine. The people I called are going to find her and they'll surely call us back. Your friend is going to be fine" He told as he continued to hug her.

Hei-Ran who's eyes were slowly turning teary, reluctantly nodded her head. She wanted to believe what he was saying, and without much thought, she hugged him back and buried her head in his neck, while Jinhai kept patting her back softly.

They stood in that position, not realizing that they were actually hugging when suddenly Hei-Ran's phone rang. Hurriedly breaking the hug, she picked up the call when she saw that it an unknown number. She had a feeling it was related to Eun-sun.

"Hello"

"Hei-Ran" Eun-sun called softly.

"Eun-sun? Is that you?" Hei-Ran asked when she heard Eun-sun's voice from the other side of the phone.

"Yes"

"Oh my God, Eun-sun, where have you been? Where are you? What happened to your phone? Wait, tell me are you okay?" She asked all these series of questions in one go. A tear of relief unknowingly rolling down her cheek as she heard her friend's voice.

"Calm down okay. Are you crying?" Eun-sun asked when she heard her sob.

Sniffing her nose, Hei-Ran wiped her tears, "No, I'm not. Just tell me are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Eun-sun told her. She knew she was crying and could hear the worry in her voice, and it made her feel sad. She could imagine how stressed and scared Hei-Ran must have been.

"Are you sure? Nothing happened to you right?" Hei-Ran wasn't sure Eun-sun was telling the truth. She had a knack for keeping her emotions to herself.

"Nothing happened. Just relax okay" She told her, while Hei-Ran nodded her head.

"So where are you?"

"Erm..at the hospital" She knew Hei-Ran was going to explode.

"What? Hospital? But you said you were fine. Did you have an accident again? Did you hurt your head? Are you badly wounded? Tell me the hospital I'll come right away."

Eun-sun chuckled slightly when she heard all of Hei-Ran's questions. The love and care Hei-Ran has shown to her have been so great.

"Ask one question at a time? I'm fine, I didn't hurt myself okay. Stop worrying before you have a headache"

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure"

"Send me the address, I'll come right away," Hei-Ran told her.

"What about wo-"

"Eun-sun, send me the address right now" Hei-Ran ordered.

"Okay, I will" Eun-sun agreed before ending the call.

"So?" Jinhai asked the moment Hei-Ran ended the call.

Looking at his face, she replied, "She's fine" while she stifled her tears. Only God knew how worry she had been since last night. To her, Eun-sun was just like Seul-Bi. If anything happened to them, she'll be very sad.

Walking close to her Jinhai used his hand to wipe the tears rolling down her cheek.

"I told you she'll be fine. Now stop crying" He told her while she nodded.

"Mr. Song, thank you for your help," Hei-Ran said appreciatively. She didn't expect him to go as far as he had done for her. She had watched him call a few people while he also tried to calm her down.

"Mr. Song now, a moment ago you called me Jinhai, and I kind of liked it"

Widening her eyes in surprise, Hei-Ran asked, "I did?" She didn't know when she did that.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he replied. "Yes you did, and you should call me that from now"

"But–"

"You're still my girlfriend for the next three weeks and as such, you should call me by my name. It's more intimate"

'Intimate' Hei-Ran didn't know if she liked the sound of that. Nonetheless, she nodded her head.

"I'll call you as you please"

"Now that's more like it. And next time don't bother thanking me, I'm only doing my boyfriend duty"
