Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 27: Said Rule

Eun-Sun was both physically and emotionally drained as she stepped into the house. It has been a long day and all she needed now was absolute rest. From working at that mansion to working at her mom’s place, she felt exhausted. All she needed at the moment was a warm bath to ease her muscles and a good night sleep, she’ll probably skip dinner. She stood outside the door and took in some deep breaths and blinked back the tears that has been prickling her eyes, since she left her mother’s place. She didn’t want to trouble Hei-Ran with her problems...the poor girl has done enough for her.

Eun-Sun sighed when she saw Hei-Ran lolling on the sofa with a huge grin on her face. She understood that look, it was the one that was demanding and yearning for gossip.

“Hey babe” Eun-Sun greeted as she took off her shoes and wore the in-house slippers.

“Hey you” Hei-Ran greeted back as she sat upright.

“How was your day? You look so tired” Hei-Ran said looking at Eun-Sun’s tired face.

“I’m so tired” Eun-Sun said as she made her way to the kitchen to get a glass of water from the refrigerator.

“Not too tired to give me some gist I hope?” Hei-Ran said with a sweet smile, as she knelt on the sofa, while looking at Eun-Sun expectantly. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

.....

“What gist?”

“The one about your new boss, and his house. I guess he must be one of those celebrities right?” Hei-Ran asked in a gossipy tone. Her ears were dying to get some gist from Eun-Sun.

Eun-Sun took a careful look at her, before sighing out loudly.

“Celebrity indeed. Your imagination does run wild. I have no gist for you” Eun-Sun said as she walked over to the sink and washed up her cup. She doubts that perverted boss of her’s was some sort of celebrity. If he was, then his fans were definitely sick in their head.

“Eun-Sun why are you being so boring?...I have been waiting for you all evening” Hei-Ran cried with a fake pout.

“That was your choice, I never asked you to wait for me” Hei-Ran rolled her eyes at her. She couldn’t believe Eun-Sun was being taciturn over her new job.

“Such a bore” Hei-Ran hissed as she properly sat back on the sofa with her hand folded on her chest begrudgingly.

“I thought I saw a chocolate bar in here” Eun-Sun murmured to herself as she looked through the refrigerator. Hei-Ran’s eyes popped when she heard that. She dashed to the room when she realized there was something she was yet to give Eun-Sun. It was the chocolates Ji-Sang had given to her for Eun-Sun.

“Eun-Sun, I forgot to give you something” She said approaching Eun-Sun who was munching on a chocolate bar, she had seen in the refrigerator, with the small box if chocolate.

“What is that?” Eun-Sun asked with a suspicious look as she received the small box. It was suspicious of Hei-Ran to give a well presented gifts.

“Chocolates” she saidas she opened up the box. “But these aren’t from you. Who are they from?” she asked returning the box to Hei-Ran. This was definitely from Hei-Ran. She would not give her a packaged gift...it was said rule, because she didn’t want Hei-Ran to shove her an expensive gift all in the name of giving her something. She would rather see it upfront and probably reject it, if it was too expensive. She might never be able to repay her with that kind of gift.

“Errmm..” Hei-Ran stuttered as she pulled on her right ear.

“Come on, tell me who are these from?” Eun-Sun urged.

“It’s from...Ji-Sang” Hei-Ran replied in a small voice. She knew this might upset Eun-Sun, because she has warned her from receiving gifts from Ji-Sang. Since he decided to ruin their friendship with his feelings, then he should keep his gifts to himself.

She didn’t want to take gifts from him because she didn’t want to lead him on.

She doesn’t want to get involved in any relationship right now.

“But I told you to not receive gifts from him anymore” Eun-Sun frowned.

“Come on it’s just chocolate” Hei-Ran said.

“And the next time will be what? flowers? I’m not taking this. Return it!” Eun-Sun said dropping the box of chocolates on the counter and walked to the living room.

“Eun-Sun don’t be mad okay. I’m sorry. I promise not to do it again.” She said apologectically as she sat beside Eun-Sun.

Eun-Sun turned towards her and sighed, “You promise?”

“Yes I promise” She said a with a small smile.

“Then you’re forgiven” Eun-Sun smiled back. It seems she would have to give Ji-Sang a call and give him a piece of her mind, or else he would never stop.
