~~~Earlier that morning~~~
Eun-sun stirred up from her sleep, a splitting headache welcomed her, prompting her to let out a low growl as she sat up. She looked around the room and it was indeed her room. She closed her eyes tightly to prevent the bright light that was assaulting her eyes, and worsening the state of her head.
Her throat felt parched and she tried swallowing her saliva. She cringed at the bitter taste of her mouth. She tried licking her lips and she felt the white powdery magnesium taste that sort of tasted familiar, but her brain was too lazy to ponder on anything right now. She groggily rolled off the bed and made her way to the bathroom. She was badly pressed and had almost peed herself in her sleep.
Eun-sun watched her face and hurried back to the room to find her phone when she realized she might have slept in and would probably be late for work.
But wait how did she even get home in the first place? She asked herself.
She squinted her eyes as she tried to remember but nothing was forth coming. She kneaded the side of her head when she felt a heavy bang in her head. She picked up her phone from the bedside table to look at the time, that's when her eyes caught sight of the pills lying on the table. She furrowed her brows as she looked at the pills and syrup lying on the table. She picked them up and took a proper look at them. She was familiar with the drugs since she has been taking them for a long time, but these definitely were not hers.
She couldn't remember buying this pills because they looked new and were from a different brand unlike the usual ones she gets.
'Did Hei-Ran get these? Was she sick of peptic ulcer too? How come she didn't know?' She reasoned to herself.
She looked at the time and surprisingly it was quite early. She slowly made her way to the door, she needed a cup of coffee to help kick up her system.
Eun-sun was only at the door when she heard noises coming from the sitting room. It must be Hei-Ran she thought.
"Hei-Ran please tell me you made coffee" She said as she walked out of the room, her eyes half closed because the lights were making the headache worse.
"You can get it yourself" Someone said not too far away from her. Eun-sun paused on her track, her body stiffened when she heard that voice.
That was a man's voice right? She had heard a man's voice. She wasn't beginning to imagine things?
"When you're done thinking then come to the table" She heard him say again, That was when it occurred to Eun-sun that there was indeed a man in the house, this time the voice was more familiar.
There was only one man with that voice, and it was Lee Dan-Han.
Eun-sun's heart skidded several beats at that realization. She slowly turned around and her eyes saw the tall man sitted at the head of the dinning table. Her heart began to race and every form of sleepiness, tiredness or hangover completely disappeared.
Seeing his dark and stoic face staring at her, fragments of last night memory came searing through her head. She cringed inwardly, and her feet almost gave way for her.
"Good morning" Dan-Han greeted with a his usual cold and frightening voice, but Eun-sun was too stunned to reply to it. She just stood rooted to the ground as she stared at him unresponsively, except her lashes which were fluttering in shock.
Eun-sun didn't know what to say as she looked at him. Her brain was incognitive and no proper thoughts or word could be formed.
Dan-Han could see she was both shocked and surprised to see him there and he wasn't bothered about it. She deserved to be punished for being so reckless with her health last night, but now wasn't the time to scold her. He down on the food on the table which were gradually getting cold and he said, "Take your seat, breakfast will get cold"
Eun-sun was again shocked by his words. If he hadn't mentioned the word breakfast, she wouldn't have noticed the food spread on the table. She looked at the dishes and her eyes involuntarily widened again.
Dan-Han hissed out loud when she didn't respond since she was still in bewilderment. He pulled his seat backward and made his way to her. Eun-sun subconsciously took a step back but Dan-Han was quick enough to grab her hand.
"Pres-ident – Le-" She tried to say, but Dan-Han hushed her, by making a hushing sound with his mouth.
He slowly led her to the table and pulled out a chair for her sit. Eun-sun looked at his face and her heart continued to skid even more.
"Sit" Dan-Han ordered in a low tone, more gentle than the ones he had been talking to her with.
Eun-sun lowered her head to the seat and slowly sat down. She watched as Dan-Han walked back to the seat by her side where he had been sorted before. He picked up a plate and dished up some food into it. He placed it in front of her and put a spoon in her hand before saying, "Eat"
Eun-sun looked at him thoutghlessly, as he also stared at her. Eun-sun couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment, as a matter of fact she has never been able to tell what goes through his mind. She had a feeling he was angry and when Lee Dan-Han was angry it wasn't a good thing, most especially for her.
She had bits and pieces of what had happened last night, and from what she remembered it didn't look good for her. She must have done really bad stuffs. The look Dan-Han was giving to her was somewhat strange. She was used to the domineering and terrifying gaze he normally gives her, but now he was simply looking at blandly.
Eun-sun looked away from his face and scooped her a spoon of the soup into her mouth. The paused when she felt the delicious taste of the food in her mouth. She took a peek at him from the side of her eyes but she looked away when she felt his gaze fixed on her. Eun-sun lowered her head and concentrated on her food. She ate slowly ate the food and tried not to look at him.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Dan-Han suddenly asked making Eun-sun choke on her food. He quickly handed her glass of water and leaned closer to pat her back.
Eun-sun started coughing even harder when he pat her back. After a while she finally calmed down. She dropped the spoon and in her hand and slowly shook her head, with her eyes slightly lowered, so as not to meet his eyes.
Dan-Han nodded as he leaned back on his seat. He thought as much.
"So you don't remember being sick all through the night?" He cocked a brow at her, while Eun-sun snapped her head towards him.
Was she sick last night? Why? How?
Dan-Han noticed the thoughtful look on her face and sighed inwardly.
"Did you eat yesterday?" Dan-Han asked another question. Eun-sun thought about it for a while and when she had her answer she couldn't reply. Dan-Han took her silence for a no. It was just as Jae-Hyun had said, and this made him more angry.
"Do you know what the effect of drinking on an empty stomach especially when you have a intestinal tract with sores on it?" Dan-Han asked in a very cold tone, the temperature around him was dropping by the second. Eun-sun lifted her eyes to look at him and she saw the grim look on his face.
She remained mute, she didn't want to answer. And her silence made him really mad.
"Why did you do that?" He demanded coldly, his voice was lightly raised slightly startling Eun-sun, who in turn snapped at him.
"And who's fault was it?" She demanded angrily, making her wince at the sudden pound she felt in her head, but she tried to keep a straight face. He wasn't the only one with a temper too. Why was he scolding her when he was the reason why she had stayed in her office, too afraid to go get food else he dragged her to his cafeteria with him, and wasn't he the reason why she had started drinking in the first place. So why was he shouting at her?
Dan-Han was shocked by her accusation. How was this his fault? He was the one who had taken care of her all through the night in and slept in that uncomfortable couch, and now she was accusing him?
He was about to say something but he stopped himself and hissed out in resignation. The challenging look in her eyes told him she has gone into angry mode. He wondered why a girl like her had so much fire and anger in her. Her weak and meek state doesn't last up to an hour.
He has sure fallen for a crazy woman, who was also ungrateful.
He hissed again before standing up from the seat. Eun-sun was surprised when he didn't say anything but just stood up and left. Her eyes followed him till he walked into the bedroom, making her brows scrunch up. Soon he returned with the pills which she had seen on the bedside table. Dan-Han dropped them in front of her.
"I'm sure you know how to take them" He said in his usual cold tone, before going to pick up his jacket front the sofa and walked towards the door.
Eun-sun looked down at the pills he had placed in front of her and then at the retreating figure. She felt an awkward type of feeling in her heart when she watched him leave like that....maybe it was guilt or something related to that, she didn't know. She shouldn't have yelled at him like that, from all indications he had taken care of her last night so she shouldn't have acted that way.
She stood up to her feet and called his name, "Mr Lee" She called softly. Dan-Han who was about to turn the knob of the door stopped and turned to look at her.
Her mouth opened up to say something but nothing came out. Dan-Han looked at her and sighed inwardly.
"I'll see you around Ms Eun-sun" He said before opening the door and walked out.
