Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 38: Unrequited Love

Eun-Sun patiently waited for Ji-Sang to come pick her up for the so called outing. Hei-Ran had called to inform her to go ahead with Ji-Sang, while she’ll meet them up, as soon as she done with work. Sincerely, she would rather stay at home and send out more applications to companies.

Her desperation for a job has increased exceedingly since she saw that man today. She desperately needs to pay back her debt as soon as possible, or else she might begin to lose her sleep soon.

Since she was fortunate to clock off work early today, Eun-Sun had spent the rest of her day going through her mails to check if she got any positive reponse from the gazillion of companies she had applied, at least one. But unfortunately there were no acceptance letter. Not one!

Not having a befitting job was somewhat frustrating. The major reason for her rejection was due to her lack of working experience.

But how in Pete’s name was she supposed to get this so called experience if they didn’t employ her?

Maybe she should get a weekend job, that way she could earn faster and pay off her debt quicker. Because according to the contract she had signed at the cleaning agency, she was not to go to work during the weekend as her boss didn’t like it.

So she’ll rather be home and search for those jobs than go have fun right now. Don’t get her wrong, she isn’t a social recluse, but she just had too many pressing issues right now that she couldn’t let herself have any form fun.

.....

She sighed for the upteenth time when waiting for Ji-Sang. This was becoming annoying. She was about calling Ji-Sang when the door bell rang.

“It’s about time” She hissed. Picking up her phone and bag she walked to the door.

“Hey” Ji-Sang greeted with a happy smile, when Eun-Sun walked out of the house.

“You..”

“Let’s go” Eun-Sun said interjecting him as she closed the door and walked ahead.

“Okay” His lips curled upward when at her unchanging behavior.

Ji-Sang tried to open the door for Eun-Sun, but she beat him to it before sliding into the passengers seat making Ji-Sang chuckle. How could he forget Eun-Sun does not behave like a lady. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

He walked to the other side of the car and hopped in.

“You shouldn’t open the door for yourself Eun-Sun it’s unlady-like” He said strapping in his seat belt.

“Because my hand is miamed” Eun-Sun replied, sarcasm hinted over her words.

“You’re hopeless” Ji-Sang sighed.

“Say’s the guy who’s so hooked on me” She hissed.

“You don’t have to be cocky. I’m so getting over you” Ji-Sang announced, not offended by Eun-Sun’s words. If at all this were the things he liked about her. She was like a bulldog always ready to lash out and sink her teeth into someone. He loved her fiesty nature, but he was being honest when he said he was trying to get over her.

Being unrequitedly in love with her for years has been too depressing and it was high time he finally let go, hence the dinner. And that was why he has arranged this dinner to announce his decision to his two best friends.

“Just shut up and drive” Eun-Sun replied coldly.

“Yes boss” He replied in a jocular manner turning on the ignition. Eun-Sun turned to look at him and asked, “where are we even going to?” Eun-Sun asked curiously, while Ji-Sang returned a gaze, “Somewhere nice. Just wait and see” Ji-Sang replied with a quite smile, making Eun-Sun hiss.

Mi-Ok hummed as she took her time to get ready for date today. Her lips curved in a smile as she thought about making her so called date wait on her. Her movements were so, from the way she applied her powder on her face to the way she applied her lipsticks, everything was purposefully slow.

She was going to get her revenge from that insolent man. Who the hell does he think he is?

He had made a wait for such a long time and still didn’t show up and to make matters worse he had asked his secretary, a mere secretary to call her, and inform her about their date. He must be an uncultured man, an insolent man. For that, she was going to show him how to treat a lady right. She was going to make sure he waits on her just as much as she has waited for him.

She was going to show him that, she was the doing him a favour by agreeing to go on a date with him and not the other way round.
