Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 6: Scold

“Who are you?” Eun-sun asked in a low and hoarse voice as she looked around, trying to make sense of her surrounding. What is this place? How did she get here? And why the hell was her head hurting so bad? This were the few questions running through her mind as she continued observing the all white room she found herself.

“My name is Lee Dan-Han” He replied as he moved closer to her with a glass of water. “Thirsty?” He asked her when he noticed her parched lips.

Eun-Sun hesitated slightly but finally nodded. She winced at the sudden surge of pain in her head, and she stretched her hand to hold it in place as if it might fall off.

“Are you okay? Does your head hurt?” Dan-Han asked, though he was worried his face was as expressionless as ever. One wouldn’t know if he was truly concerned or not.

“Hold on I’ll get the doctor” He said as he quickly picked up his phone to make the call. She watched as he mumbled some words into his phone like he was commanding a subordinate.

Eun-Sun looked around the room again, from the king sized bed which she was lying on to the huge plat screen TV hunger on the white walls.

“Is this a hospital or a hotel room?” She couldn’t help but ask. She definitely would have mistook it for an hotel suite if not for the smell of formaldehyde and bleach she could perceive around her.

.....

“It’s a hospital” He answered placing the glass of water he had been holding in her hands. Of course she could it was an hospital, she just couldn’t hold herself from asking. Dan-Han was not sure if she was just asking or if she really know. If she didn’t then this was the first time he has seen someone who couldn’t differentiate an hospital room from an hotel room.

“What happened? What am I doing here?” she asked taking the glass of water and gulping it all.

“You don’t remember?” A frown was about to form on his face as he took the glass of water from and placed it on the bedside table. ‘She didn’t lose her memory did she?’

“Remember what?” She asked back, her gaze at him was piercing and desperate. Desperate to remember whatever it was she was supposed to remember.

“You had an accident” Dan-Han said nonchalantly, like hasn’t been worried since his car first hit last night. If he should be frank this was the first time in his life he has such a scare. Scared that he might have killed someone, but if he was still worried about the possibility of her losing her memory, he doesn’t show it.

“Accident?” Eun-Sun’s eyes widened with shock as she tried sitting up. She closed her eyes in an attempt to remember what had happened to her last night. She had gone out to grab some stuffs from the shop across the road when she was suddenly knocked down. Her eyes widened more when she remembered she had indeed been in an accident.

She turned to look at him with a grave look. “Did you hit me?” she asked, anger was obviously hinted in her voice.

“Mmm” He nodded his head lightly.

“You hit me?” She asked again eyeing him angrily, but this time Dan-Han did not respond. He could feel some hostility in her voice.

Eun-Sun gave him a proper look, he definitely looked rich or maybe comfortable, looking at the clothes he had on. Dan-Han had changed into something else, since his suit was soiled with her blood. So why the hell did he hit her.

“Didn’t you see me? How could you be so careless when driving at night. What if i had died huh?? My mother...” Eun-Sun’s words trailed off when she realized ger mother was still home probably still hungry. ‘Oh my God. What has she done? Her mother would have been expecting her all night’ fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Dan-Han was puzzled with the various expressions flashing through her face. First she was just scolding him, now she was looking as if she just realized someone died. But what surprised him the most, was that for the first time in his life he was been scolded and a little framed sized woman was the one doing it.

Well he couldn’t blame her, because truly he was at fault. He shouldnt have tried taking a call while driving. Somewhere down in Eun-Sun’s heart she knew she had walked of that sidewalk absentmindely and she should probably be apologizing, but right now she just couldn’t. All she has in her mind right now was the thoughts of her mother and if she had dinner.

Dan-Han kept his gaze on Eun-Sun and his brows narrowed when he saw her trying to slip off the bed. “What are you doing?” He asked with a blank face.

“Going home” Eun-Sun replied.
