When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 136: Chapter 136.

 

***

In front of the Kidz Fan office.

Wandering in front of the office, Gyeonhui peered over the edge while he was trying to look inside.

However, because of the closed curtain, he couldn’t see what was going on inside.

“What do they do inside with the curtain closed? Hah…”

Gyeonhui was frustrated and mumbled to himself. After he stopped wandering, he confirmed if there was anyone in the hallway.

Fortunately, there was no one coming or going.

Gyeonhui put his ear to the office door and paid attention to the sound coming out from the inside of the office.

As he furrowed his eyebrows while he was focusing on listening to what was happening inside, he could hear two people’s conversation.

“It feels better than I expected.”

“Does it? It’s the first time for me too.” She was smiling awkwardly.

“Feeling?” What does she mean? Do what for the first time?”

Hearing their conversation, Gyeonhui couldn’t figure out what they were talking about, so he put his ear closer to the door.

“Do you want me to do this? I can take it off better.”

“No, I should do it.”

“Then I will do it too.”

“Wow…”

After a moment, she exclaimed in surprise.

Gyeonhui thought he might have misheard something and put his ear on the door again.

“How about touching it like this…”

“Do it like this.”

“I think women will like this a lot. How about you, Sun?”

“I absolutely like it,” Sun answered with a lower voice.

The more he heard, the faster his heart was beating.

“No… It can’t be true…”

Gyeonhui shook his head; he couldn’t hide his frustration.

Their conversation still continued in the office.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hmm. It’s much bigger than I expected.”

“Hahaha. Mine is a little bigger.”

Hearing them, Gyeonhui couldn’t wait any longer and opened the office door roughly.

“What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the day!”

Hearing Gyeonhui’s furious cry, Eunwoo and Sun turned and looked at him. However, the office atmosphere differed so much from what Gyeonhui had imagined.

Eunwoo and Sun were both putting their clothes on while holding bananas in their hands.

At that moment, Gyeonhui still couldn’t understand the situation.

“We were testing the new products in the middle of the day. What brought you here?” Eunwoo asked.

“Well… that’s…”

Gyeonhui felt the chill on his backbone.

“You definitely said something about touching…”

“You mean, this?”

Eunwoo showed the strawberries to Gyeonhui.

With the new product that was a seed remover, Eunwoo showed off its effectivity to remove the leaves from the strawberries.

“Then what you meant when you said something was too big was…”

Without hearing their answers, Gyeonhui could understand what they meant. Gyeonhui saw the banana cutter that Sun was holding in her hand.

“Now is your misunderstanding cleared up, Mr. Woo?”

“I, I didn’t misunderstand anything. Hmm, hmm.”

Gyeonhui instead yelled at them loudly and shut the door roughly. When he opened the door again, he made an awkward excuse.

“It was because of the wind. I didn’t slam the door.”

Standing in the hallway for a while, he was so embarrassed and felt ashamed. He put his head on the wall and quietly mumbled to himself.

“It’s better to just die.”

His mind was filled with regret and shame, but there was nothing he could change.

1. Gonji- gonji, Jam-jam

“What’s wrong with him…?” Sun tilted her head and mumbled to herself.

“I think Mr. Woo misunderstood something about what we’re doing.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“Hmm…” Hearing Sun’s naïve questions, Eunwoo hesitated for a moment.

“What misunderstanding was it?” Not being able to hold her curiosity, Sun asked him again.

“… Do I need to fill this form out?”

Sun tilted her head in wonder and looked at Eunwoo, who tried to change the subject awkwardly.

“There was nothing to misunderstand… It’s strange…” Sun said.

Sun tried to recall the conversation she had with Eunwoo a while ago.

“Touching the strawberries gently… and the size of the bananas… and taking them off…”

When she reiterated them, she started blurring her words, and soon, she had to stop.

When she realized them, her face became flushed immediately.

“Now, do you get it?” Eunwoo asked.

“No, no. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Sun even stuttered in embarrassment and turned her body away from Eunwoo quickly.

“What are you doing? Fill out the survey, please.”

The embarrassed Sun said after she gave Eunwoo the survey form. It was a survey to see people’s favorability of the new products with the new characters.

Eunwoo smiled and started filling out the survey slowly.

“Please fill it out honestly.”

“I will.”

“How was it? Do you think the new character worked great with the product?”

Eunwoo stopped his writing and looked at her.

“I’m writing it down on the form…”

“Oh, right. I’m sorry.”

Sun awkwardly smiled and glanced at his paper, but Eunwoo didn’t show it to her and hid the paper from her.

“Ch…”

Sun pouted and fumbled the product with her new character design applied to it.

Eunwoo started speaking when he glanced at the door.

“Don’t you think you need to talk too?”

“Talk to whom?”

“Mr. Woo.”

“He’ll be fine. I don’t know why he misunderstood like that.”

Looking at her, Eunwoo started speaking slowly. “It’s changed a little.”

“Sorry? What’s changed?

Eunwoo tilted his head and moved his gaze to the survey.

Watching him focusing on the survey, Sun also couldn’t ask him anymore.

After a while, Eunwoo confirmed the survey he had filled out, and he gave it to Sun.

“It’s done.”

“Thank you so much.”

As soon as she received it from Eunwoo, she started reading the survey. IT contained mostly positive feedback and high review scores.

“Did you really mean this? Sun carefully asked him.

“Absolutely. A lot of moms and children will like your products.”

“… I’m relieved.” Sun finally smiled brightly, feeling relieved.

“Are we all set?”

“Wait a minute. There are a few more details that I need from you.”

“Let’s do it at dinner.”

“Sorry?”

“Because I’m hungry…” Eunwoo said while he was putting his hand on his stomach.

“Oh, sure. Dinner is on me today. I’ll get you something great for dinner.”

Sun quickly packed her bag and stood up from her seat.

“Can you give me a minute? I need to grab some stuff before we go.”

Watching Sun packing her bag, Eunwoo also stood up from the seat.

“I’ll use the restroom. Take your time.” Eunwoo said.

“Yes.”

To give her more time, Eunwoo opened the office door and came out to the hallway. At that moment, Eunwoo saw a dark silhouette hiding at the end of the hall quickly.

Eunwoo could tell who it was without going and confirming it himself.

“Hah…” Eunwoo exhaled a slight sigh while he was leaning against the wall. Eunwoo smiled bitterly, but soon, his expression subsided.
