"You gangster!" In-Ha roared over the phone the moment Eun-sun answered the call.

"Good evening to you too" She greeted in a small and embarrassed voice. Dan-Han brows narrowed as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

"Don't you dare greet me, you hooligan. You broke my hand" He yelled into the phone, making Eun-sun to pull the phone away from her ears for a second.

"Sorry" She apologized.

"That's all you have to say?" In-Ha asked with incredulity. "I can't eat, bath or do anything so sorry doesn't cover it" In-Ha fussed.

"So what do you want?" Eun-sun asked back, her voice was still low, she was cautious of the man sitting next to her. She regretted picking up the call, she should have ignored and returned the call when she got home.

Why were both friends acting big babies. What was the big deal in breaking a hand? She hissed inwardly.

"A body massage, a well cooked meal and weekend treat by you. That way you can manage the damage you created" He listed.

Eun-sun fell into thought as she thought about his request. She wasn't supposed to think about granting his stupid request, but she had really hurt him without him offending her. She had gone overboard with the fighting thing, so she might as well compensate for it, but she wasn't giving him any massage.

"Okay fine, I'll agree but no massage" She stated while glancing at Dan-Han as she said that last part. She was relieved to see him pressing his phone and wasn't listening to her conversation.

Dan-Han who was pretending to be busy with his phone paused the finger scrolling through the phone when he heard the word, 'massage'. So In-Ha dared to ask for a massage from her? What other things did he ask for?

"Why?" In-Ha frowned when she said 'no massage'.

"Because you can get that from the spa, I'm not a mausses" She firmly stated.

"Tsk....fine food and outing it is. You have to work hard to make me feel better. You really broke me this time. Always flipping me like you're wonder woman and I'm a weightless person" In-Ha hissed.

"Well you are" Eun-sun chortled lightly when In-Ha grumbled out his last words. Dan-Han's face darkened when he heard her laugh.

She dare to laugh with In-Ha but not with him? He hasn't forgotten how she had called him, 'pumpkin'. Wicked girl.

"Yeah right. Make fun of me, i dare to do that with Dan-Han" In-Ha dared. Eun-sun's eye's suddenly darted towards Dan-Han.

Make fun of this guy? Never!! She wasn't stupid.

"I wouldn't dare" She replied back, while In-Ha chuckled amusedly. It's good to know she knew her limit.

"Tigress, don't be so close to that cold brute okay. He'll ice you out and you'll become as cold as him. You don't know how worried I was when he took you home"

"Hmm" Eun-sun mumbled out, while she kept her eyes fixed on Dan-Han. She wondered how he'd react if he knew they were both gossiping about him under his very nose. Hehehe.

"Did he say anything mean to you after taking you home?" In-Ha remembered to ask. He had almost called her last night, but then he remembered she had been too drunk. And had refrained himself from calling her knowing she'd probably be having a hard day at work. If she were to be working with him, he'd definitely give her a day off, but definitely not Dan-Han.

"Not all" She replied. Dan-Han turned to look at her when he noticed how weird her responses were. He had a feeling In-Ha was talking about him. It seems that guy has forgotten he was still living under his roof.

He should probably kick him out.

Eun-sun felt her heart skip when she suddenly met Dan-Han's gaze.

"Let's talk much later" She quickly said into the phone and abruptly dropped the call.

"Ahem" She cleared her throat. "Sorry" She quickly apologized before he has one of those menopausal mood swing of his.

"He has your number and I don't?" Was what he said after she apologized. His eyes were fixed on his phone as he spoke.

"Hmm?"

"Why does he have your number and I don't?" He turned to her and asked again. Eun-sun blinked her eyes as she looked at him.

'Please don't tell me he wants to pick a fight again' She cried in her heart. Couldn't he just let her enjoy the ride to her house in his car for once?

"Because he asked and you didn't?" She replied sarcastically, even though she didn't mean to. There was something about him that always makes her want to defy him.

"Fine then give me the number" He said, passing her the phone.

"Why?" She asked, not bothering to receive the phone from him.

"Why?" Dan-Han cocked a brow at her. She was really going to ask him 'why' now.

"Because I'm asking" Was his blunt reply. Eun-sun looked at the phone. There was something in her heart that was inclining to her to simply take the phone and give him the number especially if she doesn't want to have another banter with him that will end with him exercising his dominance on her. But there was also another part that wanted to defy him so badly and she couldn't help it, so she said, "No!" Her voice was firm enough to let him know that she wasn't joking.

"No?" He cocked a brow in disbelief.

"No!" She resounded her resolve just in case he didn't hear her.

"Why?"

Eun-sun turned to him with a straight look plastered on her face, "If you want my number, then go find it. Nothing good comes easy, especially when you claim to like me. So Mr Lee put in some extra work" She said pointedly.

Dan-Han stared at her stoicly as he tried to read her eyes, before a half smile split his face. Eun-sun was slightly taken aback when she saw a smile on his face. It was him look sort of different, she admitted in her mind.

For a moment there his cold face disappeared and a warm person could be seen in his stead.

Dan-Han fully turned his body towards her, the side of his lips still curved upward, "So you want me to work hard, does that mean you're ready to accept my feelings now?" He asked, but Eun-sun was sort of lost looking at his face like that. Her eyes were too focused on his face that she couldn't answer on time.

'Stupid fool' She cussed herself when she realized what she was doing. She blinked her eyes and shook her head slightly before replying, "No"

"Hmm" Dan-Han mumbled, nodding his head up and down. He wasn't surprised, neither was he disappointed. It was always a 'no' with her. He would have been more disappointed had she easily said yes. Her tenacity and her adamancy were some of the reasons why he couldn't stop liking her.

If this was how she wanted it, then he'd gladly oblige. He inched his head closer towards her, making her to move her head backwards.

"Do I get a reward for it?" Dan-Han asked gently, his eyes fully locked in hers.

"Reward? What reward?" Eun-sun managed to ask as she moved backwards again. What nonsense was he saying now? And why was he inching closer?

"Yeah a reward if I can get your number. It'll be difficult to acquire especially when you're not willing to give it to me. This would show how sincere I am about right?" He tilted his head as he inched closer again, while Eun-sun bent backward till her head hit the back rest. Her eyes began to move back and forth, looking for an escape, but unfortunately there was none.

'What was he doing now?' She asked herself.

Dan-Han didn't know what has come over him, he was slowly losing himself whenever he was closer to her like this. And looking at her full and lupscious lips right now he badly want to have a taste of it. Though he knew he shouldn't and should stop teasing her like this, but he couldn't help it.

"So what do you say, do I get a reward or not?" He asked again.

Eun-sun didn't have much time to think about it, as her heart was slowly beginning to race helplessly. She quickly bobbed her head up and down affirmatively. She didn't know what he'd ask for but she just wanted him as far away as possible. He was clouding her space.

Dan-Han nodded his head in understanding as she pulled away from her.

"Be sure to remember that" He said as he returned to his normal position. Her sweet smell was hovering all over his brain, almost muddling him out.

Eun-sun heaved a sigh of relief when he pulled away from her. She made a resolution not to sit at the back seat with him again. Since she was bound to riding with him, she'd take the passenger's seat or even drive the car.

She eyed him before looking outside of the window. Eun-sun made sure to maintain her distance from him all through the ride to her place. She kept praying for him to mind his business and ignore her all through the ride.

Luckily for her her prayers were answered, but only till she arrived at her place. As soon as the car came to a stop, Eun-sun hurriedly hopped out of the car.

"Good night" She said to both Dan-Han and his driver before stepping out of the car. She had only taken a few steps away when she heard Dan-Han call her name. Eun-sun rolled her eyes when she heard him.

'What again?' She cried inwardly.

She turned around and saw Dan-Han standing by the door with her lunch box which she had used to bring breakfast for him.

She sighed in relief when she realized it was just that. She walked back towards the car.

"Thank you sir" She said as she tried to reach for the box but something unexpected happened.

She gasped when Dan-Han suddenly grabbed the hand she was stretching out and pulled against himself, before placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Good night" He said gently before placing the box in her hand and hopped back in to the car, leaving a stupified Eun-sun.
