Tears stung Eun-sun's eyes as she walked to the elevator. She had been waiting for Dan-Han for over an hour, hoping just maybe he'd step outside and come talk to her, or ask Chang-wok to let her in, but again he didn't. Eun-Sun felt a pang in her chest as she tried to blink back her tears. Every word he had said to her at the hospital kept twirling in her head, torturing her mind, and she couldn't stop thinking about him every second, wondering if he meant them.
Focusing on work has been difficult, and each day she finds herself growing worse, not just losing interest in work, but in everything else. She just wanted him to talk to her, at least once. She wanted to tell him she understood he was angry with her, and he might never forgive her, but she wasn't going to give up on him, on them.
She missed him a lot, and she was sure he missed her too, but he was still hurting and it was all because of her.
She had heard from Chang-wok that he hadn't been eating well. He has buried himself with work as a grieving mechanism. Her heart ached for him. If only she had told him earlier, maybe he wouldn't be at this point right now. She was full of regret. All she wanted at the moment was to go home and bawl her eyes out till she was exhausted and sleepy.
"Hold." Eun-Sun jerked when a loud voice reverberated across the hallway making her instinctively hold the elevator door for whoever was coming.
"Ah! Thank you." The young man exclaimed as he walked into the elevator. Eun-Sun lazily nodded at him and looked away, but strangely she could tell the man was looking at her. She slowly lifted her eyes towards him and indeed there he was, staring at her with keen eyes.
"You know pretty ladies are not allowed to cry, but you look like you're about to." Eun-Sun raised a brow at him while he chuckled as he brought out a handkerchief from his pocket. He leaned towards her, his hand heading for her face but Eun-sun reflexively caught his hand, her eyes fiercely staring at him.
He chuckled out when he felt her strong grip on his hand. "Now I see why you were able to break his shell. A fighter, huh?" He tsked, making Eun-sun glare at him with her curious brows arched.
Noticing the confused look on her face, he revealed a cool smile and said, "Pardon my manners. My name is Lee Ji-Tae, your brother-in-law." His smile broadened even more.
'Brother In-law?' The frown on Eun-sun's brows tightened for a second, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she realized his first word. Lee Ji-Tae.
He must be Dan-Han's cousin. She carefully gazed at him.
"I-" She stuttered, feeling slightly embarrassed for rudely grasping his hand.
"I'm..."
"Sorry?" He tilted his head to the side as he looked at her. He chuckled out again, "It's okay, Eun-sun. I kind of acted like a pervert so I understand."
He could see the questioning look on her face when he called her name.
"Don't worry about knowing your name. I know a lot of things." He leaned in and whispered in a hushed voice. "Maybe someday I can let you in on a secret or two. What say you?" He smiled, playfully wriggling his brows while Eun-sun looked at him with confused eyes. He laughed again. Eun-Sun didn't know what exactly to say to him, or rather what to say about him, but she had a feeling in her heart that the man was trouble. She wasn't sure, but she had a gut feeling that he might be dangerous. Even his nonsensical laughter was somewhat an indicator that he liked trouble.
He had those playful yet dangerous smiles that told you there was a thousand mischief going on in his head, waiting to be executed. His eyes had a malicious gleam to it, but there was also a dangerous glint about it that screamed something eery. Eun-Sun hadn't met him before but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable around him.
Eun-Sun felt grateful when the elevator chimed on arrival. She bowed to Ji-Tae and said, "It was nice meeting you."
"The pleasure is all mine. I hope we see each other soon. Oh yes, we will." His lips curved upwards in a slyful way. Not sure of what to say, Eun-sun nodded and walked away.
See each other soon? She didn't think so. She had not heard much about him, but she knew Dan-Han didn't like him much. It would be good if she avoided him especially now that she and Dan-Han's relationship were in deep waters.
.....
Eun-Sun felt exhausted when she got home, not from the activities of the day, but from the emotional stress she has been passing through. She had waited for Dan-Han by his car for hours after work, but it seems he knew she was there and he had decided to spend the night in his office just to avoid her.
Not once had she ever thought she and Dan-Han's relationship would come to such a level.
"What are you doing?" She lazily asked Hei-Ran who for some unknown reason, had decided to overthrow their living spaces with papers. Eun-Sun sighed as she looked at the mess Hei-Ran had created.
She looked at Hei-Ran again who seemed too engrossed in whatever she was doing.
"Hei-Ran-"
"Come look at this." Hei-Ran beckoned on her without looking at her. Her fingers pointed to the document in her hand. Eun-Sun didn't have the strength for anything right now, but she found herself walking over to her to 'see' whatever Hei-Ran wanted her to see.
"What am I looking at?" She lazily asked, from her eyes and tone it was obvious she was beat and tired, Hei-Ran's was too busy to see.
Frantically pointing at the screen, Hei-Ran said, "The numbers." Eun-Sun looked at both the document in her hand and the one on display on the screen of her laptop. They were both the same documents, but it seemed one had some discrepancies like it had been tampered with. Eun-Sun looked at the letterhead and that was when she realized they were looking at documents from the Su corp.
"Hei-Ran, What's going on?" Eun-Sun asked. To be honest this wasn't the first time she had seen a document from her grandfather's company in the house.
Hei-Ran looked at Eun-sun with troubled eyes, "I think A-Yeong is up to something.." She said.
