...

Eun-sun put back the flower and chocolates into the bag and dropped it on her desk. Funny how she doesn't have the urge to throw it away. She didn't want to imagine what would happen when Dan-Han finds out she got rid of his gift to her.

The fear of Lee Dan-Han was the beginning of wisdom. She told herself.

"So?" Hye-Jin who has been closely watching all the expressions flickering through Eun-sun's face in the last minute, while desperately waiting for her answer asked.

"So what?" Eun-sun asked back. Hye-Jin gave her the 'Are you kidding' kindof look.

"Are you both dating?" She askes again, just in case she had forgotten.

"No" Eun-sun firmly replied.

"No?" She asked skeptically. "Then is he asking you out?" She asked again. Eun-sun turned to look at the girl, her countenance suddenly becoming stoic. Firstly, she didn't like people prying into her life, and if it wasn't that Hye-Jin had been nothing but sweet to her since she started working her, she's have given her an answer she wouldn't like.

She noticed the way Hye-Jin flinched when she looked at her, she could tell her countenance right now was threatening. She shouldn't be blamed, it was a default. She forced a smile at her, and replied, "No" though her tone was firm.

Hye-Jin nodded in understanding.

"Okay, I'm sorry I asked" Hye-Jin apologized.

"It's no problem" Eun-sun sighed and returned her attention back to her desk, but her mind was thinking about what to do with the big boss.

....

Hei-Ran didn't know if she should go to work after what happened last night. She was supposed to enjoy her first leave since she started working with Jinhai, but she had ruined it by messing up last night. Left with no choice she went to the office.

She made a resolution not to step out of her office till the close of work, just to ensure she doesn't bump into 'you-know-who'

Hei-Ran went as far as closing the blinds of her office, since it was made of glass and her office wasn't that far from his.historical

She had a deep frown on her face as she tried to hassle her brain into remembering the event of last night. She has been so lost in reverie since Ji-Sang narrated all she had done last night. She still hasn't come to term with the fact that she could do something like that.

Something as bad as kissing her boss!!!

She had wanted to talk about it with Eun-sun but there wasn't enough time to talk before leaving the house since they were both running late. What was she going to do??!

Hei-Ran pulled the root of her hair in frustration as she cussed herself.

"Stupid girl. Stupid! Stupid" She hit herself on the head.

"Do you need a book to aid you?" Hei-Ran jolted up in shock when she heard someone's. voice in her office.

She gasped when she saw who it was.

"Boss?" She called out and sprang up to her feet. Her heart was beating all the place, her legs were slightly shaking and if not for the desk which was separating them, Jinhai would have noticed them. She lowered her head ashamedly to avoid his gaze.

Jinhai looked at her amusedly, who knew she had this side to her? "Pulling your hair isn't going to change anything, the deed has already been done, you just have to take responsibility for it" Jinhai said as he walked closer to the desk and plonked himself down.

Hei-Ran felt like she had her breath suddenly snatched away from her when she heard him say the word 'responsibility", and saw him making himself comfortable in her office and reaching for the cup of coffee which she had ordered for herself but had been too nervous to drink.

She lowered her eyes to look at him and at that same moment Jinhai also looked at her face.

"You should sit, let's talk about the consequences of your actions" Jinhai said pointing at her seat with his chin as he took a sip from the coffee.

"Huh?" Hei-Ran's heart thumped hard against her chest. She looked at him with trepidation in her heart, her eyelids kept fluttering rapidly.

'Consequences? Responsibility?'

She was dead! So fucking dead! She yelped in her head.

Jinhai lifted his head up to look at the completely stunned girl who looked she was about to cry. He scoffed in his mind.

Did she really think running away this morning was going to save her from having this conversation with him? If she had such thoughts then she must be joking with herself. Because to him, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity which he was going to use to his own advantage.

"Mr...Song" Hei-Ran called out in a low and gentle tone. "I'm sorry" She apologized.

Jinhai looked at her amusedly. "I know you are"

"It was unintentional, it was the alcohol" She said in a gentle and almost ready voice.

"I'm sure it was" He paused and smiled.

"Or maybe you just like me" He tilted a brow at her.

"Huh?" Her eyes widened both in shock and surprise. "No, no" She shook her head frantically.

Jinhai narrowed his brows at her, "Then you hate me?" He asked again, making her eyes widen to the fullest.

"Of course not. I...I don't hate you" Hei-Ran hurriedly replied. How could she tell her boss she hates him, after kissing him? She would be dead meat. Jinhai smiled to himself when he saw her behaving this way.

"It doesn't matter whether you do, what matters is you taking responsibility for what you did" He told her in a firm voice indicating there was no room for negotiation. Hei-Ran felt her heart was about to explode, but she calmed herself down and asked, "How?" there was nothing she could do, she has actually brought this upon herself.

"Be my girlfriend" He said with a serious tone.

"Whattt??!!!!"
