Eun-sun felt heart broken after Dan-Han had told her about her father. She had cried so hard in Dan-Han's arms till she fell asleep. She woke up feeling a slight headache and as if Dan-Han knew he came over with pain killers and a glass of water.

Eun-sun stared at him for a while. She couldn't help but feel relieved and blessed to have someone like Dan-Han in her life. He was caring, attentive and supportive towards her. Despite all the hardship she had endured she still was finally blessed with someone like him. She hasn't really known what love and support was until she met him.

In one word she was 'grateful'.

Receiving the pill and water from Dan-Han she muttered, "Thank you." while Dan-Han nodded his head.

"Breakfast will be ready soon, just wash up and come downstairs." He said, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room. He had let her sleep on his bed while he used a guest room. The last thing he wanted was to make her uncomfortable. He hadn't been able to take her home last night because she had cried non-stop till she slept off.

Soon Eun-sun came downstairs to join Dan-Han at the table. Her eyes were still looking puff from crying so much last night. Her poor look make Dan-Han sigh but he didn't voice it out, he knew she'd be conscious of her look if he did.

He pulled a seat for her at the table. He smiled when he saw her lick her nether lip, salivating. This girl was always in the mood for food. If she loved food this much he wondered how she had stomach ulcer. She must have been starving herself. But now he couldn't be too worried as she was now eating more and she hasn't fallen sick for a while now, and he hoped it remained so.

"Eat alot." He told her and his little foodie nodded making him chuckle.

Dan-Han wasn't expecting Eun-sun to say anything about her parents for the time being because he knew she needed time but he had been surprised when she had suddenly said she wanted to meet with her father as well as her mother.

Dan-Han paused and looked at her, carefully observing her countenance. He had wanted to ask why, but he refrained himself from doing so. He nodded his head and said, "I'll arrange it." When he said arrange he was going to make sure that she was safe and nothing could go wrong when she met with them. He couldn't handle one more second of her crying, he might just murder her parents in cold blood, because he was getting irritated by them each day.

They had only continued eating when they both heard steps of someone descending the stairs. Dan-Han knew it was In-Ha, he looked behind him and he saw the stunned look on In-Ha's face. He had expected this but he did nothing to prevent it. He knew In-Ha had been avoiding Eun-sun since that day but he knew they had to meet at one point, so why not now?

"Why don't you join us for breakfast?" Dan-Han said before returning his attention back to the table. He saw how Eun-sun had angrily stared at In-Ha before returning her attention back to her food like she hadn't seen him, but Dan-Han didn't comment on it. It was between them.

In-Ha stood transfixed at the base of the stairs as he stared at them, most especially Eun-sun who wasn't staring at him. He knew she was angry at him. She had left a few missed calls on his phone but he had not returned them, even when Dan-Han had told him to talk to her because she was worried about him, he still hadn't been able to bring himself to. He wanted some space from her, it wasn't going to be easy on him. He was the one who was in love with someone who didn't love him or worst know about his feelings for her. It was going to be difficult hanging around them most especially when his feelings hadn't been resolved. He still felt the same way he had always felt for her, just like now his heart was thudding just at the mere sight of her.

Now he couldn't walk away and say he wasn't interested in having breakfast, that would make Eun-sun more angry.

He slowly made his way to the table and took a seat which was adjacent to Eun-sun. He looked at her and said, "Hey" which made Eun-sun glare at him without saying anything.

Dan-Han looked at the both of them. He grabbed his cup of coffee and stood up to his feet causing Eun-sun to look at him with curious eyes. "Where are you going?" She inquired.

"I have a few things to do in my study. Come look for me when you're done, and finish your food." He didn't really have to tell her that since she was fully sold out to the food.

Eun-sun wanted to protest and insist he returns back to eating his food since his food was barely touched.

"Be good." He said, patting on her head before walking away.

'Devil' In-Ha cussed and rolled his eyes inwardly. He knew what Dan-Han was doing, he was trying to give them space to talk but he didn't think he was ready for that yet.

In-Ha lowered his head down and dished food into his plate without looking at Eun-sun who was looking at him from the corner of her eyes. In-Ha could feel her gaze on him and he couldn't help but raise his head up and look at her. They both stared at each other for a while without saying anything until In-Ha decided to break the silence.

"You look horrible." He said.

"And you're mean." Eun-sun replied making In-Ha chuckle. From her tone and glare he knew she was very much angry with him.

He signed out, "I'm sorry."

Eun-sun raised a brow at him, "For what exactly?" She asked.

"For being a jerk."

"And an asshole" She added.

"And a bad friend" She added again while In-Ha nodded his head concurrently.

"Yes for all that." He willingly agreed while Eun-sun hissed. She glared at him a bit more and hissed again.

"Are you going to tell me why you acted the way you did?" She asked. Though she had been angry at him all these day she had still be worried about him, so much she had bothered Dan-Han about it too, but he had assured her In-Ha would come around and was only going through a phase. She didn't want to pry now but she was curious. He had behaved strangely on that day and that had troubled her since she knew him as a very happy-joy person. She knew Dan-Han was fully aware about what was wrong with In-Ha but he just didn't want to tell her. But now she really wanted to know.

In-Ha didn't know how he could answer her question, because responding to her meant he had to tell her the truth or he had to lie. Eun-sun sighed when she saw the hesitation on his face.

"Don't bother telling me I don't want to know. But believe me In-Ha, if you snub me one more time again I'll break your bones and trash you till you want to die." She threatened him making him to bob his head up and down.

"Yes ma." He replied. He could tell she wasn't joking and would really break his bone.

"Good." She said, before returning her attention back to her food.

Few seconds of silence elapsed before In-Ha spoke up, "So how's he treating you?" He asked. Eun-sun turned towards him and nodded her head while putting food in her mouth, "Good."

"Are you sure?" He asked again. He knew he shouldn't be asking but he couldn't stop himself.

Revealing a smile Eun-sun nodded her head, "He treats me better than anyone else." In-Ha saw the happiness in her eyes as she said those words which sort of echoed in his head. 'Better than anyone else.'

Maybe he had been able treat her well right? He had been able to make her smile and her eyes glint just the same way Dan-Han was doing right? Okay, maybe not as much as Dan-Han, but he could also do a good job. But that was something he couldn't find out anymore. He had lost his chance and now he could only root for her happiness, because in the end that's all that matters.

"You should always be happy, and if he treats you bad–"

"I'll break his limb." Eun-sun completed his sentence making In-Ha chuckle.

"That's not what I wanted to say, but that can also work too." With how Dan-Han had changed because of her, he was sure the man would willingly let her break all his limbs even his head. That was the effect this girl had on people.
