Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 31 - I Quit!

In-Ha couldn't believe what had happened to him. He was still in shock. Things had happened so fast, that he would have thought he had imagined all of it, if not for the intense pain surging through his body. He shut his eyes closed due to the intense pain he was feeling.Eun-Sun was also startled by her action. She had only tried to stop him from touching her face by gripping his hand, but suprisingly she had done more than that. It seems she had finally carried out her thoughts of always wanting to hurt her boss."Ouch, it hurts" In-Ha wailed in pain as he tried standing up from the floor. As he stood up, he felt fresh pain searing through his back and arm. Eun-Sun stood perplexed as she watched him stagger to his feet, holding the kitchen island for support. His hand slowly massaged his shoulder, as he stared at her with disbelief. His eyes fully scanned the small framed girl standing right in front of him. 'How could she have done that so easily?' In-Ha scoffed with incredulity.Eun-Sun didn't know what to say to him. She just kept staring at him with a straight face, even though she was a bit shaken by turn out of event. It seems she was really going to lose her job again. But this could not be counted as her fault right? He was the one who kept staring at her like she was a lustrious piece of meat he'd love to devour. She had only stepped up to defend herself. What did she look like to him? Someone he could easily take advantage of?Let the work be damned! As a matter of fact she'll give him a thousand flip over if he tries such nonsense with her again. Boss or not, she'll never let anybody takeadvantage of her. In-Ha noticed the fierce look she was casting at him. She wasn't looking remorseful. In-Ha chuckled out again. He couldn't believe that he was feeling amused instead of feeling angry."Sir, I won't try to apologize because you I believe you owe me an apology. I maybe you staff, but you have no right to harrass me. So before you fire me, I quit!" Eun-Sun said in a strong and sharp tone, startling In-Ha. In-Ha stared at her with his mouth hung open. He was more than dazed by what was playing out in front of him right now. He felt tongue tied, he couldn't even mumble out a word or growl out in pain. 'Who was this girl? She wasn't going to apologize and she quits?'In-Ha couldn't find a word to say. He tried flexing his neck, but the sharp pain that thrusted down his cervical disk was excruciating, make him growl softly. Eun-Sun eyes slightly widened when she noticed the redness on his hand as he slowly moved to touch his neck. Looks like she has done quite a few damage. She sighed inwardly."You might want to ice that" Eun-Sun said pointing her chin to his wrist, which looked like it has been sprained. In-Ha closed his eyes shut when he saw his wrist was slowly swelling. He glanced at her again, 'What sort of strength does she have?'. He was too afraid and traumatized to say anything out.In-Ha has never experienced such a thing in his entire life. To say he has been beaten by a girl would be an understatement to quantify the amount of pain he was feeling at the moment. If felt like he had be rammed by a car. Eun-Sun closed her eyes as she pursed her lips to hide her gritted teeths. She was cringing at the thought that was going through her mind. She hated it when she was beginning to grow a conscience.She took a deep breath and turned to the refrigerator to get a pack of ice to ice his wrist. In-Ha just kept gawking at his wrist, without observing Eun-Sun's movement. He was startled when he felt the coldness of the pack on his wrist. He raised his head to look at the girl holding the pack over his wrist."Hold it" Eun-Sun's voice came in a commanding tone, making In-Ha instinctively obey her command. His free hand held the pack as his eyes followed her while made her way up te stairs. Eun-Sun returned back with a first aid kit she had seen in the guest bathroom while cleaning earlier."Sit" Eun-Sun ordered. Her voice was both cold and commanding, and In-Ha found himself responding to her every command without hesitation. He sat on one of the kitchen stools, while Eun-Sun opened the box and started applying medicine over his wrist, after which she used a crepe bandage to skillfully wrap his wrist.In-Ha was amazed by her clean work. She had done it professionally. It looked like she has done this a couple of times. 'Does she go about hurting people and treating them afterwards?"Thank you" In-Ha said when Eun-Sun finished attending to his hand. Eun-Sun didn't expect him to say that, as a matter of fact, she has been expecting him to say something offensive or rude, that way she'd have more justification for her actions, because she was suddenly growing a conscience. "Sorry" She muttered.
