Eun-sun was surprised when he placed his hand on her shoulder, she tried to shrug it off but In-Ha tightened his hold on her, and led her out of the lobby. Left with no choice, Eun-sun let him do what he wanted to do. She was quite used to his personality, and she expected him to act like this.

But what Eun-sun did not expect was to see the person standing right in front of her, the moment she stepped out of the lobby.

'Dan-Han?' She muttered in her heart.

He was leaning on his car just right in front of the company, and his was stayed on her. Even with the distance between them she could feel the weird and uncomfortable aura emanating from him, talk more of the way his eyes was narrowed on her, and it felt like cold chills were crawling over skin.

Seeing him like that her heart skipped and she immediately shrugged In-Ha's hand off her shoulder without thinking about it. In-Ha who was surprised by the abrupt way Eun-sun had shrugged his hand off looked at her face, and he couldn't help but notice the fear buried in them as she tried to not look at the man staring at them. He had also spotted Dan-Han and from the cold look he had on his face, he thought it was normal for Eun-sun to be a bit wary of him, even capable men were scared of this tyrant. He couldn't help but chuckle as he was amused by what was playing out right now.

'Finally scared of something huh?' He teased in his heart. Well he shouldn't be much of an hypocrite, because had Dan-Han not been his friend, he didn't think he'd ever get close to the man on his own accord. This guy really had no chill.

In-Ha couldn't help but also notice the way her steps suddenly slowed down and she was trying to hide behind him. He shook his head and chuckled and walked ahead to the scary man, who had his eyes fixed on the petite girl behind him.

"Hey bully boy" In-Ha called out smilingly as he approached Dan-Han who darted his eyes towards him.

"In-Ha what are you doing here? I believe this doesn't look like your company" Dan-Han said coldly, but In-Ha didn't bother about it. He was used to Dan-Han sounding that way.

"I came to pick up my princess who you're scaring with that cold eyes of yours. Dan-Han seriously I think I have to give some glasses so you can hide that deathly look you always have in your eyes" In-Ha told him, making Dan-Han to glare at him.

Noticing his glare, In-Ha let out an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, I was just kidding" He patted Dan-Han on the shoulder. He knew better than to Provoke him.

Dan-Han darted his eyes towards Eun-sun who was still standing behind In-Ha with her head lowered. She haven't even spared a look at him.

"Miss Eun-sun" Dan-Han called out in a slow yet cold tone which made Eun-sun very uncomfortable. Her heart was beating so fast and she was scared if she looked at him, she was going to remember what happened last night and die from embarrassment. She didn't want that.

With her head still lowered she bowed at him and greeted, "Good evening President Lee"

'President Lee now?' She wasn't even going to look at him? Dan-Han wanted to say something else, when Eun-sun turned towards In-Ha.

"I'll wait for you" She said before bowing to Dan-Han and hurried away.

In-Ha took note of the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. They were acting strange. Though they weren't that close, but they had been better than this. So seeing them acting like this was awkward.

A week ago, Dan-Han had stayed at the hospital with her, and she had been warm towards him, he had even noticed the way she spoke softly at him, but what happened now? Did he do something to her? Has he bullied her? It wouldn't be strange if he had scared her with his cold and scary temper. This was Dan-Han after all.

In-Ha looked at the both of them, most especially Dan-Han who had his eyes on her as she walked away.

"What happened? What did you do?" In-Ha inquisitively inquired. Dan-Han looked at him but he didn't answer his question rather he asked a question of his own,

"Where you going to?"

Giving him a bland look for a while, In-Ha replied, "We're going for some street dance she mentioned. And we'll have dinner after that" Dan-Han nodded his head.

"Take care of her and have fun" He said before walking away. He took a look at the girl who was looking everywhere else but at him. He sighed and walked back into the company. Secretary Chang-wok who wasn't standing afar off looked at the car and then his boss who was walking back into the company. Why was he heading for the wrong direction?

Wasn't he going home minutes ago? He bowed to In-Ha and followed his boss back into the company.

In-Ha looked at Dan-Han who was walking into the company, he creased his brows as he stared at him. Why does it feel like there was something wrong with him.

In-Ha was tempted to stop him and ask him if everything was okay, but he remembered Eun-sun was waiting for him. He turned to look at her and he noticed the way she was staring at Dan-Han. There was something about the way she was staring at him, but he couldn't place his mind on it.

Maybe he was thinking too much, or maybe she had also noticed there was something wrong with Dan-Han as well. He shrugged the feeling off and beelined his way to her.

"Are you ready?" He asked, with a pleasant smile, while Eun-sun nodded in return, "Yes" but the bright smile that was intially on her face was gone.

All through their drive to the location of the street dance off, Eun-sun couldn't help but think about Dan-Han. After seeing him, the thought of him flooded her mind. No matter how much she tried she couldn't take the thought of him off her head. She realized this was the first time she was seeing him today and it felt weird. Usually she would have seen him twice already, but today it was different. She didn't know why she was feeling this way, but a certain part of her was missing him..... missing his face and that weird look in his eyes. There's a way he looked at her while he tucked her hair behind her ears that made her heart thump and goose crawl on her body.

Earlier when she saw him she knew he was out there waiting for her to take her home. Wasn't he disappointed in her attitude last night? Eun-sun feared the thought of Dan-Han seeing her differently more than anything. She wasn't a bad girl, she didn't want to take advantage of the fact that he had kissed her. That was her first time being kissed and she didn't know what had gotten into her at that point in time. She was regretting alot of things.

She even regretted not looking at him earlier. She could have at least looked at his face. She had been so embarrassed at the time that she couldn't bear to look at him. She felt like he would look at her differently most especially after what she did last night. For some awkward reason she was more scared of Dan-Han having a wrong thought about her.

But wait why was she even thinking about him this much? Despite all her effort to take him out of her mind, she still thought about him all day, most especially about all he had done for her last week and even before then.

Why was he like this to her? What did he see in her? He told her he loved her, and he hasn't failed to show it to her, though he was overbearing he had never done anything to hurt her. Yes, sometimes he might seem like he didn't care about her opinion, he always showed he cared. Why?

Why was he treating her so well? Why has he made himself a constant figure in her thoughts? Why was he this nice to her? There were other people out there, she was a nobody. A girl her father and mother had never wanted or loved, because if her father wanted her or loved her he wouldn't have gone away for ten solid years neither would her mother treat her the way she had treated her.

Not to mention the social difference between them. He was a man from a reputable family, he was a someone of high societal standing, someone who people feared and respected while she was from a humble background. They weren't on par in anyway.

This was crazy.

Dan-Han was making her lose her mind. How had things gotten this way?

While Eun-sun was lost in thought, she didn't take note of the man who was paying rapt attention to her every expression. 

After seeing her like this, In-Ha was more convinced something was wrong between her and Dan-Han.

But what was it?
