Chapter 399: Memorable Trip?
A nostalgic feeling engulfed Eun-sun when Dan-Han carried her out of the car and stood before the private jet. The last time she had boarded a plane which had also been her first time, had been with Mrs. Lee during their field trip to the province.
Those days weren’t her best days but they had been memorable, at least until the worst happened – the ugly memory that tainted what should have been a great trip for both family and friends as well as the indigenes of that province.
Mrs. Lee had talked a lot about her final grand tour to the provinces she wanted to take relief and love to, but she had sadly only made it to one.
A memory of her paled face partially covered with an oxygen mask flashed through her head, and she felt a twist in her stomach.
“Are you okay?” Dan-Han asked with a concerned frown when he observed the sudden change in her disposition. Eun-sun raised her gaze to him but quickly darted it away and shook her head as she fought back the tears that threatened to prick her eyes.
She shouldn’t cry, at least not when Dan-Han was there.
Dan-Han tilted a brow as he observed her face which she was deliberately trying to hide away from him.
.....
He intently peered at her but he remained silent, not able to tell why her mood had suddenly changed. He gave a dismissive sigh as he boarded the plane with her in his arms and the moment he stepped into the cabin Ni-Na’s theatrical squeal echoed around the room.
“Finally!” She chirped as she excitedly patted a reclined seat opposite her for Dan-Han to drop Eun-sun, but he ignored her and walked towards another cabin which was at the rear of the plane and she followed.
The hostess on board bowed to him and held open the door of the cabin. She bowed and politely greeted Eun-Sun who slightly felt shy and simply responded with a nod. She wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to get used to people bowing to her with such reverence, and this was because of Dan-han. Only a hand few people have seen them together, and each time the awkward feeling was there. She was always the one bowing to people and welcoming them in, so this was always going to be strange.
As if Dan-Han had read her mind, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “You’ll get used to it when you become my wife.”
Eun-sun rolled her eyes at him. “Who’s becoming your wife?” She asked with a mock glare gleaming in her eyes.
Dan-Han shrugged. “You’ll know when you see her walking down the aisle. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but you’ll cry when you see her. She’ll be an angel in white. My angel.” He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose as he gently placed her on the bed which was in the private bedroom of the plane, while Eun-sun’s face turned red with a sweet shy smile lilting her lips.
Ni-Na who had been behind them and had heard a bit of their conversation rolled her eyes at her brother’s cheesiness. Who knew president Lee had that side to him.
“At least, now I know why we’re flying this after three long years of it being hidden away. You don’t want our baby bear to feel uncomfortable, right?” Ni-Na playfully wriggled her brows at Dan-Han while she tried not to say the other words that would result in her getting off the plane at this instant.
This was the first time Dan-Han was taking anyone on his personal private plane. The company’s jet had always been his means of transport when he was going on a business trip with people because those were the only trips he embarked on until Eun-sun showed up.
“If you know, then why are you asking?” Dan-Han asked back without looking at her.
He carefully helped Eun-sun adjust comfortably into the bed, and placed some pillows on her back, while Eun-sun had her eyes traveling around the room in awe.
It was a moderate-sized room with an ensuite bathroom like a hotel room. She was surprised to see something like this could exist in a plane, and it was even separate from the other cabin which had reclining chairs. This plane was different from the previous one they had used the last time, and it was way bigger and far more luxurious.
Eun-sun glanced at Dan-Han who was still hovering over her even though she was already comfortable and could very well settle herself in. “Is this yours?” She curiously inquired.
Dan-Han briefly raised his gaze to her and nodded, before pulling a blanket over her. Eun-sun’s eyes widened at that as they darted between Dan-Han and Ni-Na who looked amused by her reaction.
“You have no idea how rich your boyfriend is, do you?” Ni-Na asked as she hopped on the bed but that earned her a glare from Dan-Han.
“Careful.” He warned, but Ni-Na rolled her eyes.
“Brother please, she dislocated her arm and ankle, not her spine and brain. Sister-in-law isn’t weak. Or are you, Noona?” She turned to Eun-sun and challengingly cocked a brow at her.
Eun-sun smiled and shook her head. “Definitely not.” She declared.
“You see, big brother. Your woman isn’t weak at all.” She smiled at Dan-Han, who suddenly had a frown on his face.
“I have a feeling you’re going to be a bad influence, Ni-Na.” He said and Ni-Na theatrically gasped.
“Me?! A bad influence?” Ni-Na pointed a finger at herself with incredulity, as she faked an innocent face. “Brother Dan-Han, you raised me to be an angel.”
“And I hope you still have wings to fly when I toss you out the window 3000 feet off the ground.” He threatened and Ni-Na stared at him in horror and utter disbelief.
She vigorously shook her head as she crawled closer and planted herself by Eun-sun’s side. “Sister-In-law invited me, you can’t kick me out. Not now!” She stubbornly declared.
“When was the last time you took me on your jet? When was the last time you took me on a trip? All you know how to do is make me read and work like you want to auction me to some crazy scientist. Wait! Is that the plan, president Lee?” Her eyes widened as she suspiciously looked at Dan-Han.
Auctioning her to a scientist would be him doing her a favor. He’d rather sell her to someone far worse, but he didn’t have to tell her that.
Dan-Han sighed exasperatedly. He glanced at Eun-sun who was amusedly staring at him, obviously enjoying Ni-Na’s banter with him. That was the girl’s forte – Always trying to argue with everybody and always ensuring she got her way.
Why did he say yes to Eun-sun bringing Ni-Na in the first place? It wasn’t as if she wasn’t enough trouble for him to handle, now he had another trouble added to the mix.
This was going to be one hell of a trip.
He dipped his hand in his pocket as he watched the both of them smile and flutter their eyelashes at him. Funny how they were the most important women in his life, as well as Ni-Na’s mother who was currently taking over the matriarch role of the family. They gave him great joy as well trouble.
He turned to Ni-Na. “If you make any trouble, I’ll definitely throw you down this plane myself.” He drawled and Ni-Na stuck her tongue at him, but when she saw his brows furrow, she readily nodded. She was sure he wouldn’t do that, but she also didn’t want to find out if he was capable of doing such.
Dan-Han leaned down and placed a kiss on Eun-sun’s forehead. “I’ll attend to some work. I have a virtual meeting in five minutes. Stay here and relax, okay?” he told her and she nodded.
“What about me? No kiss?” Ni-Na pouted her lips and moved her forehead closer to Dan-Han. She gasped and winced when Dan-Han flicked her forehead instead of a kiss.
“You’re mean.” She cried and wickedly glared at him.
“And you’re not far away from getting kicked out.” He threatened to flick her head again, but Ni-Na quickly moved away. Eun-sun laughed as she watched them. It was clear as day that Dan-Han adored Ni-Na, even if she was sure he didn’t say it to her.
“You should go attend to your work.” She told him and he nodded.
“I’ll have them send you some snacks and drinks.” He told her. “And don’t move your arm too much because the cast has been removed. You have to stay still.” He warned and she nodded before he walked away.
Ni-Na who hadn’t noticed the cast on Eun-sun’s arms was gone until the moment Dan-Han said it, looked at her in surprise.
“So soon?” She asked as she stared at the arm.
“It’s been weeks, Ni-Na, so it’s not ‘so soon.” She told her. “And Jae-Hyun said it wasn’t that bad, compared to my ankle which I also believe has fully healed already.”
Ni-Na chuckled observing her expression. “You feel restrained and I think you hate it.”
“You have no idea.”
“My brother must be enjoying this.” She chuckled. “You sure fell in for a wrong man.” She said with a sigh.
Eun-sun cocked a brow at her. “Wrong man? Do you want me to tell him you said that?” Eun-sun tilted her face towards her as she intently looked at her.
Ni-Na jerked upright and gave Eun-sun a disbelieving look. “Are you still my sister-in-law? Do you want me to die?” She stared at Eun-sun in horror.
Eun-sun shook her and laughed to her amusement. “Don’t worry, you’re safe for now.”
Ni-Na wickedly eyed Eun-sun which made her laugh harder till they finally changed their line of conversation and talked about everything else.
“Thank you for letting me tag along,” Ni-Na told Eun-sun.
“It’s fine. Consider it payment for coming over to save me from boredom, and also I don’t want to stay alone in the hotel room. It will be boring.” She said and Ni-Na nodded with understanding.
She moved closer and placed her arm around Eun-sun as she smiled. “Then I believe you made the right decision in bringing me, sis. I’m going to make this trip memorable for you. All you just have to do is smile and bat your lashes when I say so, okay?” She excitedly said while Eun-sun frowned.
“Why?” She confusedly asked.
“Because that’s how we’ll get access to his card, sis. And a coy smile from will solve any money problem.” She chirped.
Eun-sun suspiciously narrowed her brows at her. “Why do I think you’re using me to leash off your brother?” She asked.
Ni-Na shrugged as her smile broadened. “Because I am. That’s what sister In-law’s do, and you just got yourself a pretty one.” She winked.
Eun-sun suddenly wasn’t certain about her decision to bring Ni-Na. She feared this trip wouldn’t just be memorable but chaotic, that she was sure of.
