Chapter 360: Not Happy.
Two days slowly went by with everyone anxiously waiting for Eun-sun to wake up. Jae-Hyun had assured them she was doing okay, but their anxiety kept growing, especially Ni-Na and her mother, who were both worried for Dan-Han’s sake. He was barely eating or sleeping, and he has turned the room into his office.
“You should rest, even if it’s just for an hour.” His aunt said. He was really tired yet he wasn’t giving in.
“I will, when she wakes up.” He simply told her, while he continued signing the documents Chang-wok had brought over.
Not sure of how to convince him, she sighed and joined Ni-Na who gave her look that said ‘I told you so’. She had also tried and failed. Their prayer was for Eun-sun to wake up and talk some sense into her man.
“Sir, how long are we delaying the project for?” Chang-wok asked the question that has been on the mind of every staff in the company.
“I don’t know.” Dan-Han casually replied, as he continued signing the documents.
“Sir, the shareholders-”
.....
“Can wait.” Dan-Han passed him the last of the files. “Is there anything else?”
“There are some activities in the company that requires your attention, but I can hold them off till your return.” Chang-wok told him.
“Good.”
“Sir-” Chang-wok’s was about to say something else but he suddenly stopped himself when the monitors reading Eun-sun’s vitals made an unusual sound. All eyes in the room darted towards her, and Dan-Han quickly strode towards the bed.
He looked at the monitor and discovered her blood pressure had risen a few counts higher. It hasn’t done that before. He has been taken note of the readings in the last 72 hours since she pulled that stunt of almost flatlining on him.
“Jesus!” Ni-Na screamed. “Did her hand just move?” She asked no one in particular as she jerked to her feet, her eyes fully widened like saucers.
Dan-Han looked at Eun-sun’s hand and then her face. Not just her hand, even her lashes were moving to.
He turned to secretary Chang-wok. “Call Jae-Hyun, now.” He ordered before bending over her.
“Honey?” He gently called. His heart skipped when she slightly frowned at the sound of his voice. Dan-Han looked at his aunt and cousin who had anxious yet excited looks on their face as they stared at her.
He wasn’t the only one seeing this. She was truly waking up.
His heart skipped when her lashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes, but she closed them and scrunched her brows, a soft sigh escaped her lips. Dan-Han adjusted himself and blocked the rays of light entering her eyes.
“Eun-sun,” He softly muttered her name and she opened her eyes again, making Dan-Han’s heart thump hard against his chest. She was awake.
Eun-sun had heard someone call her name, but felt hazy as she tried to open her eyes. She could tell there were people around her, but they seemed like foggy shadows hovering over her, their faces were blur, but that familiar musky scent that lingered in the air, struck a chord in her head.
Her eyes darted across the faces when her vision became clear, and her eyes stayed on the man by her side. He looked anxious and stiff.
“H..hey.” She coarsely greeted and Ni-Na instantly squealed, making her eyes dash towards her.
“Finally!” She cried in joy as she hugged her mom excitedly.
Eun-sun looked at the excited ladies before gazing at Dan-Han again. He wasn’t saying, and was only looking at her. She could see the crease lines on his head, and she knew he only had that when he was trying to restrain himself from doing something.
“Jae-Hyun’s here.” Ni-Na gushed when Jae-Hyun ran into the room, panting.
“Properly examine her.” Dan-Han instructed him before taking a step back, and Jae-Hyun quickly did as he said.
Eun-sun looked at Jae-Hyun as he ran some quick test on her. “Was I badly injured?” She asked.
“You don’t remember?” Jae-Hyun frowned.
“I do, but he looks like I just woke up from death.” Eun-sun peeped at the man who was standing at the door like a statue, closely watching them.
Jae-Hyun glanced at Dan-Han and sighed. “You gave him quite a scare.”
“That bad?”
“Yeah.”
Eun-sun looked at Dan-Han again and sighed.
“What’s today?”
“17th. It’s been three days.” Jae-Hyun understood why she was asking.
“Maybe you can convince him to rest for a bit. He hasn’t been sleeping well.” He whispered, so she alone could hear.
Eun-sun felt a pang on her chest as she couldn’t help but take another look at Dan-Han. He looked beyond tired.
“How is she?” Dan-Han asked when Jae-Hyun finally approached him.
“She’s fine, but I’ll still run a CT scan on her later.”
“Are you sure?” Dan-Han skeptically asked, while Jae-Hyun affirmed.
Ni-Na, who had heard them instantly ran to Eun-sun’s side, her mother trailing behind.
“I’m so glad you’re awake, sister in-law. Thank you.” She happily said, while she held Eun-sun’s hand in hers.
“Are you really okay? Jae-Hyun can run more test on you.” Ni-Na’s mom said, but Eun-sun slowly shook her head.
“I’m fine.” She assured her.
“I’m glad you’re fine. You’re a strong girl.” She gently patted her hair.
“Thank you.”
Ni-Na looked at her brother who was standing far away while he kept staring at them. This wasn’t how she expected him to be when his woman finally woke up.
“Brother Dan-Han.” She beckoned him over, but he remained still.
“My dear, you must be hungry. Ni-Na will go buy something light for you to eat, while I go home and make something better.” She told Eun-sun and dragged Ni-Na out without giving her anytime to complain. She gave Dan-Han a hug before leaving. She was relieved for him.
She and her husband had been worried for his sake. They had no idea what to do with him had something happened to Eun-sun. Now, she was glad the storm was over, and she wished nothing happened to them again.
“Lee Dan-Han,” Eun-sun softly called. “Come here.” She beckoned on him, and he obediently walked over.
She held out her hand which he reluctantly accepted. “Are you not happy to see me awake?”
“I am.”
Of course, he was, and she knew this. They silently stared at each other.
“Come and hold me. You seem to far away, I miss you.” She patted the side of her bed, but he shook his head.
“You’re injured. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You’re already doing it, Mr Lee. Here.” She patted the side of the bed for him again.
Dan-Han looked at the space on the bed, and he looked at the side of her stomach where she was injured.
Dan-Han walked round the bed and removed his shoes before climbing on. She smiled at him and touched his face.
“Stay still.” Dan-Han scolded when she moved her hand too much.
He looked at Chang-Wok who was trying so hard not to smile. “You can leave.” He ordered and the man instantly disappeared but not before saying,
“Welcome back, Ms Park.”
