Chapter 454: Hasting Things Up
Dan-Han silently drumd his hand on the table as he stared out the window. He was running a check of things in his head to see if he had left anything out, and it seems he hasn’t.
His eyes trailed towards his phone when it rang, and he answered the call.
“Which is it?” He asked.
“The one you said, sir.” Soone replied from the other end of the phone.
“Then you know what to do, don’t you?” Dan-Han asked, and the man affirmatively replied.
“Get it done, when it’s ti.” He said and disconnected the call.
He lolled back on the chair and his fingers resud drumming against the desk in a precise manner.
.....
“You seem like you’re plotting sothing in your head.” Eun-sun amusedly joked as she strolled in from the bathroom in a robe.
Dan-Han turned to her with a aningful smile. “As a matter of fact, I am.”
Eun-sun raised a curious brow. “Really?”
“Yep,” Dan-Han nodded. “A really ssy one at that.” He said with a cryptic smile which had Eun-sun peering at him with interest. He didn’t seem to be joking. She tightened her robe as she walked towards him. She stopped at the edge of the table and folded her arms across her chest while she stared at him a bit more intently.
“Care to share what this ‘plot’ is all about?” She asked, enunciating on the plot.
Dan-Han stared at her and smiled. “Not at all. You’ll hate enough at the end of it, so I’ll save the trouble for later.”
A slight frown frad Eun-sun’s face as she intently observed him. She tried to discern if he had ant that as a joke or if he was being serious, but it didn’t seem like a joke.
She took a step closer and he raised his head to et her gaze. “Dan-Han what are you doing?” She asked with a suspicious tone.
“Hasting things up.”
“What things?” She pressed. Her eyes furrowed when he silently stared at her as if leaving her to find the answer by herself, and when Eun-sun did, her frown deepened.
“You aren’t trying to provoke that man are you?” She sternly asked and Dan-Han scoffed.
“Provoke you say? I’m not provoking anybody.” He told her.
“Then what are you doing?” Eun-sun demanded. If he wasn’t in desperate search of trouble, then what was he doing?
Dan-Han sighed. “See, I’m not the the type to sit around and wait for an opponent to decide when it’s ti to start a battle. I don’t even do this plotting thing. I handle my problem as soon as I identify them.”
“And by handling you an killing soone?” She snapped, giving Dan-Han a hard look that dared him to deny it. And of course, Dan-Han wasn’t going to, rather his gaze also hardened at her.
“Eun-sun, I’ve never pretended to be a good person to you, neither have I acted to be soone I’m not.” He tartly told her.
A deflated sigh eased off Eun-sun’s lips. Of course, he hadn’t done that, but could he at least not act like so villain?
She softened her look and voice. “Can you be a bit more patient or careful?” She softly asked.
Dan-Han sighed when he registered the soft change in her disposition and he did the sa. “This is taking too long already.”
“It’s been two days.”
“Three.” Dan-Han corrected. “But that’s enough to see to the end of this madness. I have other issues to attend to. So I’d like for this to end quickly so everyone can get their happily ever after, especially .” He said with a loud hiss.
Eun-sun stared at him, not knowing what else to say. She knew he was stressed with a lot of things and she had to say she felt apologetic having him handle so much pressure.
“Go get dressed, your father is on his way here.” He told here and Eun-sun stared at him with shock surprise.
“He is?” She inquired and Dan-Han nodded.
“Why?” She couldn’t help but ask.
Dan-Han shrugged. “I guess he’s highly impatience. I can only deduce he might have done the test after all, if he’s in such a desperate need to see .” He reasoned.
Eun-sun’s felt her heart skip at his words. She mindlessly clenched her fingers which had suddenly beco clammy.
“So this ans he already knows?” Eun-sun anxiously asked, despite being sure that was what he ant.
Dan-Han nodded.
He sighed when she stiffened and suddenly began pacing. There was no doubt she was anxious and it was completely understandable.
He stood up from the chair and walked up to her, planting himself in front of her to stop her pacing. she looked at him with worry and anxiety.
Dan-Han held her by the shoulder. “You don’t have to be anxious.” He said. “This was all we’ve been waiting for. You don’t have to be scared now.” He told her, but Eun-sun sighed.
“What if they don’t like ?”
“Why won’t they like you?” Dan-Han asked with a frown. Sotis he really doesn’t get this woman he was in love with. It wasn’t as if they were her in-laws who were coming to inspect their future daughter-in-law, so what was she scared about?
Eun-sun nervously bit her lips as she tried to reply his question. “I didn’t get the best of education. I...I have a very foul temper. I’m rough around the edges. I’m not so prim and proper daughter like...like-”
“Like Mi-Cha?” Dan-Han raised a brow at her and she hesitantly nodded.
Dan-Han blankly stared at her, not sure of what to say. This girl and her worries were going to be the death of him.
He loudly sighed after few monts of silence. He couldn’t reprimand her for all the things she had just said, because he understood she was nervous and other people would feel the sa too.
He run his hands down her arms which had suddenly beco cold and he guessed it was because of the nerves.
“Eun-sun, there’s no need to worry about all that. I’m sure right now all he wants is to see you and know what happened. Why you had missed twenty-five years of being with your family? Right this mont all the old man wants is just answers. And I’m sure he’s also feeling anxious because he must feel he had failed to protect his child. So relax, there’s no need for all this anxiety.” He assured her.
Eun-sun held her breath as she tried to calm herself down, but she couldn’t. “I don’t think I can.” She said.
“Just breath, love. Everything will be fine.” He told her and Eun-sun slowly took in a long, deep breath.
He smiled at her. “Now that’s my girl.” He pulled her close and kissed her cheek. “You’ll be fine.” He assured her and Eun-sun nodded despite her disbelief.
“So this plan of yours, will it be dangerous?” She asked. If he said she was going to hate him later, then she believed there was going to be an enormous amount of danger in it, but would be at the receiving end?
Dan-Han managed a smile which Eun-sun found to be very stiff. “Only if things doesn’t go as planned.”
He kissed her forehead when her countenance changed. “I’ll make sure everything goes as planned.” He assuringly smiled, but Eun-sun’s countenance didn’t change.
“Is there anything I have to do?”
“Yes, just do as I say.”
“And by that, you an nothing.” That was obviously what he ant.
Understanding her tone and mood, his smile broadened. “Not exactly. There’s one thing you’ll do.”
“What’s that?” Eun-sun asked with interest.
“It requires you dressing up, so you have to do that first.”
Eun-sun silently stared at him before making her way to the wardrobe to get herself dressed.
“Anything in particular I should wear?” She inquired, and Dan-Han shook his head.
“Just wear your comfy clothes.” He said and Eun-sun continued with her task of dressing up.
Dan-Han returned to his seat and stared at a copy of a DNA result on his laptop, bearing Ki-Jun’s na. He logged into a different email account and sent it to the address he had received a mail from two days ago.
He reclined back on the chair as he stared at the delivered mail. This was going to cause a lot of problems, but there were problems he was ready to face.
If things worked as he had planned them, then no one would be scathed. He was going to take a risk especially with Ki-Jun’s life, but if the man wanted answers then he was going to give it to him, but in the way he’d want. Because it would be a futile attempt to tell the man that his only beloved brother was a villain, or about his atrocities against him.
He didn’t have the energy to explain and convince him, rather he’d let him find out himself.
