Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 428: Her Family.

True to his words, Dan-Han made Eun-sun pay for every agitation and frustration she put him through in the few minutes it took for them to be fully lodged in the air, and safely coursing through thick wraps of cloud.

She had still been prying for more information which Dan-Han had barely been giving with irritable gruffs – but she still continued as it has been difficult to get answers from him in the past- when he trudged over and unstrapped her belt, abruptly hoisting her into his arms. The swiftness of his motions drew a loud yelp from her mouth.

“Keep quiet.” He darkly chided as he strolled towards the cabin where she had laid during their trip to City A.

“Dan-Han put me down!” She cried out when he flung the door of the cabin open, her body wriggling in his arms to break free, but giving he no chance to struggle one more time, he slammed the door shut and held her against it. Her body was suddenly trapped between the coffee-brown door and his rock-hard body.

Eun-sun gulped and blinked when she saw the darkened eyes Dan-Han regarded her.

She barely had the time to protest when his lips came heavily crashing on hers, sucking up the air in her lungs as he started a blazing assault on her mouth.

Eun-sun felt slightly dizzy at his rapid pace, but she soon responded to him and wound her arms around his neck, while she pushed his body even closer. Dan-Han lifted her up and she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.

.....

“You’re driving me mad, Eun-sun. And I think you’re doing it intentionally.” Dan-Han mumbled against her lips, as he slightly parted away from her. His eyes were hooded with undisguised passion as they lowered to her chest which was slightly exposed to him through the first two buttons of her shirt which had come undone.

“I didn’t do anything. I was only asking you a few questions, which you’re yet to answer. Where exactly are we going, Dan-Han?” She asked, not in the least bothered about the messy situation they were currently in.

Dan-Han raked a hand through his hair, before lowering his head to petter kisses over her neckline, his fingers slowly crawling underneath her skirt, and sluggishly bunching it up.

“Country F.” He hoarsely replied against her skin. His tongue licked up the line of her collarbone, and he missed the shock reaction his answer had elicited from Eun-sun.

“Country F?” Eun-sun wondered if she had heard well. She had heard about the infamous city, that was known for its calm and tranquil atmosphere, beautiful and enchanting blue skies which were constantly bathed with silver sun rays especially in spring, with it’s reflection cast on the clear blue sea that covered a third of its land mass.

“What are we going to do there?” Eun-sun curiously inquired, but a moanful cry peeled out of her lips when Dan-Han slid her panties and struck a finger down her taut flesh. She bucked upward when his tongue teased her earlobe, before scattering kisses all over her face, while his finger kept teasing her there.

“Questions later. I want to really taste the integrity of that leg of yours. You’ve been daring me all morning.” He said through a clenched jaw when Eun-sun moved her body against his.

Dan-Han roughly tugged at her shirt, till the buttons came ripping off, and her fair white breast cupped within her bra came in sight. He leaned over and sucked on the flesh at the top as his fingers cupped them.

“Dan-Han...you have to stop.” She said through rasped breath, and she wondered how she had managed when her body was burning and yearning for all of him.

Eun-sun didn’t know where they were headed, but she suddenly snapped her head around when a sharp clatter filled her ears, and she was surprised to see Dan-Han had tossed something towards the ground before placing her on a platform that was screwed to the wall of the cabin which she believed served as a desk of some sort.

Her attention returned back to Dan-Han when his feverish hands roamed her like a beast that had lost control. His breath fanned her skin and set her ablaze.

“Dan-Han can we move to the bed?” Eun-sun nervously asked, her cheeks blushing red as she saw the primal hunger in his eyes.

“Not now,” he hoarse into her ears. “Lift your hips.” He instructed and Eun-sun found herself instantly obeying him. She raised her hips up and he eased her lingeries off her, which he tucked away in his pocket.

“Take my belt off.” He ordered and Eun-sun hurriedly got to it, her fingers slightly fumbling with it, but she had it done anyway. She undid his fly and pulled his trousers as low as she could, but her hands gripped onto his shirt when he pulled her forward and let himself into her, making Eun-sun arch her back forward. she gasped at the fullness of him inside of her and the slight discomfort of her uninjured leg being held over her head.

“You’re going to be the death of me, Park Eun-sun.” Dan-Han groaned into her ears as he pushed himself in, stretching her to her limit.

...

Eun-sun laid listless on Dan-Han’s side. Her face deeply burrowed into his side as she enjoyed the sweet feel of his fingers touring through her hair.

“Are you going to tell me what we’re doing at country F?” Eun-sun asked again, not willing to give up on the issue. She wanted to know why they were suddenly traveling to a country at the other side of the world, especially when she knew how busy he was.

“You don’t give up do you?” Dan-Han asked, pressing a kiss on her hair while Eun-sun shook her head.

“No, I don’t, and you should know who thought me.”

Dan-Han scoffed at her response. Trust Eun-sun to blame him for everything she knows.

“So?” Eun-sun pressed when he kept silent for a while.

“I don’t think I want to tell you yet.” He wearily sighed.

“Why?” Eun-sun asked, taking in the ‘yet’ he had used, which told her that it might somehow be related to her.

Related to her? Eun-sun’s finger which was drawing lazy circles on his naked torso paused.

“Is-is this about my biological parents?” She asked, and she suddenly sat up right she heard Dan-Han sigh again.

Her hand fiddled for the sheets which she pulled up her chest when Dan-Han hungrily stared at her breast as she sat up.

“Dan-Han!” She chided at his delay, but he annoyingly rolled his eyes at her when she blocked his view.

“Yes.” He hissed out, before sitting up on the bed, his back leaning against the headboard, and he beckoned to her with this hand.

“Come here,” he said.

Without hesitation, Eun-sun crawled over and he hoisted her onto his lap. He placed a kiss on her shoulder, as his fingers gently began to press on her aching thigh. Dan-Han had weirdly positioned her in ways, he hadn’t done before, which made her doubt if he had truly been celibate for the period of time he had claimed to be.

“We’re going to country F to meet your parents,” he said making Eun-sun freeze in a second. Her eyes unblinkingly stared at him. as she tried to register what he had said.

Her parents were in country F? Eun-sun was stupified at that announcement.

Wait, she didn’t know he had found them. All he had told her two days ago was that he had a good lead on them, so when had he found out?

“Are they....did they...when did you..did you communicate with them?” She stuttered not sure of what to ask. Her heart was beating fast and her mind was slightly muddled up.

Seeing the anxiety as well as the myriad of other emotions flickering through her eyes, Dan-Han ran his hand through her back to soothe her.

“No, I haven’t.” He told her, making Eun-sun tense up, and her eyes widen at him.

If he didn’t talk to them, then why...

What if they don’t want her? What if they had been the ones to give her away? Eun-sun was just trying to sort herself out, so she didn’t think she was ready for another round of being put away by another person who were supposed to be her family. She didn’t think she had it in her to live through another rejection, or stomach the harsh words of being told she wasn’t wanted.

She has heard it long enough, and she didn’t think she’d be able to endure it in the presence of the man who had shown her the best of love and care. She didn’t think –

As if Dan-Han had read her thoughts, he tilted her chin up and kissed her lips, before staring her in the eye.

“There’s nothing to fear, love.” He told her, but Eun-sun didn’t believe him even though she wanted to.

“Dan-Han, what if...what if they don’t want me? It’s been twenty-five years. They could have other children. T-They... could have given me away-”

“They didn’t give you away, that part I’m sure of. And yes they might have another child, but believe me, when I say, they’ve missed you for twenty-five years. Your mother has.”

Eun-sun looked at him suspiciously. How would he know that?

“How do you know that?” She cautiously asked.

“Because I’ve seen it with my own eyes, Eun-sun.” He told her. “Remember when I said the issue about your birth is a sticky one?” He asked and Eun-sun nodded. If she remembered correctly sticky wasn’t the word he had used then, but something far more worrying.

“Well, the truth is, it is a bit sticky and we have to be careful. I don’t want you to be scared of anything, I have it all figured out, but you’ll have to trust me, okay? Will you?” His eyes narrowed at her as he waited for her answer.

Eun-sun wanted to tell she didn’t want to bother about trust, because she already did trust him, and that she’d prefer if they turned around now and headed home if the situation was really a troublesome one. But Eun-sun found herself nodding her head.

“Yes.”

Dan-Han leaned in and kiss her temple. “Then relax. I’m going to give you back your family and also protect you. No one’s going to hurt you, not when I’m alive.” He diligently swore, making Eun-sun’s heart skip and flutter.

Dan-Han leaned in and kissed her, and just as he did, Eun-sun wondered in her heart how she had ever come to deserve this man, and what she’d come to do if she ever lost him.

God forbid she does!

Eun-sun said a silent prayer in her heart. She didn’t care much about family anymore but cared about him. All she wanted was for them to get over whatever this sticky issue was, unscathed, especially Dan-Han.
