When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 119: Chapter 119.

 

1. We’ve slept together.

Having hidden next to the door, Sun reappeared, when she saw his car went away.

“Hah…”

A shallow sigh came out from her mouth as she saw his car moving away.

“Hey!”

Then she heard Ari’s voice behind her.

“Oh, you scared me,” Sun said.

“You’ve just got caught. What the heck? What’s going on with him?” Ari looked alternately between Sun and Gyeonhui’s car that was driving away in the distance and asked.

“What?”

Sun was embarrassed, and she tried to switch the subject, pretending she didn’t know anything.

“I just saw you. Why are you coming to work with him?” Ari opened her eyes blearily and asked.

Sun didn’t know what to say and just wandered the area.

“What’s up? What’s going on in the morning?” Eunyoung just came at work and looked at the two of them and asked.

Sun thought it was a little strange when she saw that Eunyoung was wearing the same clothes that she wore yesterday, but she couldn’t afford to worry about it now.

“Come on, Sun. Quickly.”

When Ari held Sun’s hand, Eunyoung began to follow the two of them.

***

When Gyeonhui tried to get on the highway, he saw the gas light come on, so he quickly turned the steering wheel to stop at the gas station. However, a lot of cars were already waiting to get gas. The line seemed quite long too.

“What the hell did he do to forget about filling the gas tank?”

Gyeonhui mumbled to himself, blaming Ojae for not filling up the gas tank beforehand.

It seemed like it would take a long time, so he took out his phone and ran the Photogenic app.

There were pictures of her where their memories still remained.

Slowly passing through the pictures, his hand stopped in front of a particular image. Sun was smiling brightly, holding a small barrel on the mountain in it.

“It was Jeongsun…”

He mumbled to himself while remembering his old memories.

It was an unusual park located 850 meters above sea level. He touched the picture on the screen as if he were stroking her cheeks.

His eyes were filled with longing for her.

He had to find out what the hidden meaning was. If he could figure it out by himself, then he might be able to find the cause of the pattern that appeared on his chest.

“Hah…”

Fortunately, he confirmed that the time capsule park in Jeongsun was still in operation.

“I’ve got so many things to do…”

Since he had to go to Jeongsun, he needed someone to do his job in Seoul for him.

He took out his cell phone and contacted Ojae. However, after several rings, Ojae still didn’t answer the call.

“Why has he been missing since yesterday?”

Gyeonhui furrowed his eyebrows and pressed the call button again.

***

‘Bzzzzz.’

“Hmm…”

Ojae still was struggling with a hangover and fumbled to find his ringing cell phone.

He barely opened his eyes and looked at the screen of his phone.

It was already past 10 am in the morning.

“Hmm?”

Unable to believe it, he confirmed the time again while blinking his eyes.

Looking back at the clock, he realized that the time hadn’t changed.

“What, what?!”

Ojae panicked and woke up right away in bed. Meanwhile, a phone call was coming from Gyeonhui again. Ojae bit his lower lip, and he carefully answered the phone.

“Hello, hello. Gyeonhui.”

“Just tell me if you want to quit! I’m going to find a new assistant right away.”

Unsurprisingly, his angry voice rang over the phone.

“I’m so sorry. I think I’ve gone crazy. I didn’t know the time had passed so fast.

Since he had no excuse, Ojae closed his eyes, giving up on telling his reasons to Gyeonhui.

“Where the hell are you?”

“Of course, I’m home…”

As he looked around, he noticed some strange stuff around him.

The dingy atmosphere with blackout curtains, a large TV, and inexpensive amenities.

“Wh… where the hell am I?”

Everything looked fake, unrealistic. Ojae blinked his eyes and mumbled to himself.

Combining all that he had seen, he soon realized that he was in a motel room.

“Oh… my…”

“Hey! Where are you?”

“I’m home. Home.”

Hearing Gyeonhui’s cry, Ojae pulled himself together and hurriedly made up a story.

“Go to the company right away. You have a job to do.”

“Okay, okay.”

When Ojae hung up the phone, he looked around the room for a while.

“What happened to me last night?”

He frowned with the hangover he got last night, and at the same time, he remembered what had happened yesterday like a flashback in his mind.

The short kiss he had with Eunyoung and how he had ended up waking up inside of a motel came to his mind.

“No way…”

Ojae couldn’t say anything in shock.

“So, are you meeting him today?” Hearing Ari’s question, Sun slowly started speaking.

“… I think so.”

“Why do you have to meet him? It’s over. I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Ari said, frustrated.

“No. I’ll just have to meet him tonight, and finish our relationship completely.”

Eunyoung was still listening as she nodded and replied, “Really?”

Ari looked at Eunyoung like she couldn’t understand.

“Actually, from Mr. Woo’s point of view, Sun had just suddenly ceased to exist from his life.”

“Ceased to exist?”

“Yes, like dropping off the face of the earth.”

“Oh, but Mr. Woo deserved it.”

“That’s right, but that’s why Mr. Woo and Sun still struggle like this because they both couldn’t keep their minds organized.”

Hearing Eunyoung’s honest words, Sun exhaled a slight sigh.

Sun couldn’t argue with her because she was right about both of them being unable to keep their minds organized.

“The worst thing is something ambiguous in a relationship. Make your decision resolutely with that man when you meet him tonight.

“Boss, what happened to you?” Ari asked, in doubt.

“What do you mean?” Eunyoung said.

“You were just on Mr. Woo’s side. Did he also threaten you?”

“What?”

“Oh, no. Nothing.” Ari shook her head and closed her mouth.

“I’m not trying to be on his side, I’m just telling you the truth. Isn’t that also the reason that you’re going to meet him tonight?”

Hearing Eunyoung’s question, Sun slowly nodded.

“Finish your baggage with him completely if that’s your decision. Don’t even let him contact you ever again. Okay?” Eunyoung said as if she were talking to herself.

“… I got it.” Sun nodded with a bitter smile.

When Sun’s situation was sorted out, Ari started speaking again. “By the way, why are you wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday?”

Sun thought the same thing too while looking at Eunyoung’s clothes.

“What? Oh, I’ve got two of these. It’s the same thing.”

“No matter how many of those you have, do you really have to wear it two days in a row? Really?”

“Well, sometimes, I just do.” Eunyoung’s voice faded awkwardly.

“I never do that.. Have you, Sun?” Sun shook her head slowly after hearing Ari’s question. Ari opened her eyes blearily as she looked at Eunyoung, and asked, “… You didn’t go home yesterday, did you?”
