When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 138: Chapter 138.

 

“What’s wrong?”

Eunwoo, from the opposite side, asked her in wonder.

“Um, nothing. I’m fine.” Sun said.

Sun smiled awkwardly and got in the car after she opened the door with her left hand instead.

“Where should we go for dinner?” Eunwoo asked with a slight smile on his face.

“I’ll enter the address of the restaurant on your navigation for you.”

Sun reached out her right hand, but she had to take it back immediately because of the throbbing pain in her right wrist. She entered the address on his navigation with her left hand.

Because she barely used her left hand for such things, she kept mistyping it.

“I’m sorry.”

She smiled awkwardly as she touched the navigation screen and finally finished entering it correctly.

Eunwoo looked at her anxiously; Sun was only smiling back awkwardly.

Sun turned her wrist to stretch it after she hid it from Eunwoo’s sight.

However, instead of having the throbbing pain subside, she started feeling it all the way up to her elbow past her wrist.

She squeezed and massaged her arm, but the pain wouldn’t go away.

Watching her right wrist steadily, Eunwoo reached out his hand to her.

“Give me your hand.”

“No, this is nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

Sun awkwardly answered. However, Eunwoo reached out and grabbed her right wrist gently.

“Ow!” Sun furrowed her eyebrows because of the stinging pain.

With a serious face, Eunwoo took hold of her hands and pressed the backs of her hands and fingers together while her wrists flexed with her fingers pointed down.

“Hmm..”

Her fingers and palms started to shut down.

“It’s carpal tunnel syndrome,” Eunwoo said.

“It’s a common disease for designers who use their wrists a lot at work.”

Sun smiled awkwardly like she already knew about what the pain was. However, because of Eunwoo’s firm expression, Sun had to stop smiling.

“Do you happen to know a game called ‘Gonji – Gonji, Jam- Jam?”

“Yes, babies play it.”

Eunwoo nodded.

“What does it have to do with my symptoms?”

“This part is called the Transverse Ligament.” Push down here with your index finger.”

Eunwoo pressed on the middle of her wrist with his index finger and gave her a massage.

“After that, like you play the ‘Jam, Jam,’ repeat this by squeezing it tightly and opening your fists.”

Eunwoo’s big hand covered Sun’s hands entirely.

The soft and warm feeling in his hand was conveyed to her entire hand.

“Gonji – gonji, Jam- jam.”

Eunwoo repeated it again for her like he was treating a child.

“Gonji – gonji, Jam- jam.”

Sun repeated her fist, squeezing while she was mocking Eunwoo.

“Wow, it feels like it’s getting better already.”

“No, don’t lie. It doesn’t work that way.”

“Hmm… I meant it.”

Sun smiled awkwardly and tried to take her hand away from Eunwoo, but Eunwoo didn’t let go of her hand.

“Dr. Park…” Sun looked at him.

Eunwoo was smiling, but soon his face was turned severe.

Looking at her steadily, Eunwoo started speaking slowly.

“… Don’t get sick, please.” His sincere voice remained melodious till the very end.

“I don’t want you to get hurt anymore. Your body or your mind as well.” His voice was calm and quiet, but his words were clearly conveyed to her.

1. I’ll go to you

“Hahahaha! If somebody hears us, they would think I’m really sick. Don’t worry about it. This is nothing, but thank you.”

Sun took her hand from Eunwoo while she was smiling awkwardly.

“I see that your wrist seems okay for now. How about your mind? Is it okay too?”

“Sorry? I don’t… quite understand what you’re talking about…”

“I know Mr. Woo is still in your mind.”

Hearing Eunwoo’s unexpected question, her eyes started shaking.

However, she started speaking slowly.

“How did you know?”

Eunwoo smiled bitterly and spoke again, “I noticed it when I saw you in the office. You were different than before. You have changed.

Hearing Eunwoo, Sun recalled when Gyeonhui had come to the office.

Sun remembered when she was embarrassed because of Gyeonhui’s misunderstanding.

“Ah…”

Sun seemed to understand how Eunwoo could deduce what was going on between them.

“I thought I would be able to forget him, but it’s not easy.” She started speaking again after she smiled bitterly. “We’ve decided to take some time for now…”

Looking at Sun, Eunwoo began talking with a smile. “Alright. Then use me from now on.”

“Excuse me?”

“Like I said, I don’t want you to get hurt, so I would like to help you.”

She furrowed her eyebrows like she was lost in thought.

“No… I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Sun said.

“It will work best for Mr. Woo.”

Sun recalled that Gyeonhui was always angry whenever she was with Eunwoo.

Gyeonhui was a person who had everything he needed and wanted. Sun never thought that Gyeonhui would be jealous because of something she did.

Because of that, Gyeonhui’s behavior was more strange for her, and it became a bigger question to her.

“But why does Gyeonhui hate you so much?”

“Hmm, maybe because he knows my true mind?”

“Sorry?”

“There is something in men that women don’t know.”

“Oh, what’s that?” Sun asked him again, seemingly curious.

“We’re going to be late for dinner.”

However, Eunwoo said it savagely and quickly changed the subject.

“Please tell me. Why do you have so many secrets today? Seriously?”

“Because it’s a secret, so I can’t tell.”

“Dr. Park!”

Even though she called him, Eunwoo only smiled and started the car.

She was so curious, so she furrowed her eyebrows, but she couldn’t find out anything more.

“Why isn’t she coming?”

Ojae looked at the elevator nervously while he was biting his nails in front of the Kidz Fan office.

The time when the flowers were supposed to come had already passed, but he couldn’t see the delivery man. The flower had to be delivered before Eunyoung went home after work.

“No way, is it already delivered to her?”

Not knowing where the flower was delivered, Ojae steadily exhaled a sigh.

‘Dring.’

At the moment, the elevator opened, and the flower shop staff with the flower left the lift. When Ojae saw the flower in the staff’s hand, he knew that it was hydrangea that he had ordered.

“Hah… great.”

When he confirmed it was the flower he had ordered, he was finally relieved.

When the delivery man confirmed the sign in the office, he walked toward the Kidz Fan office.

“I really hope that she likes it…”

While he was biting his lower lip, he nervously looked at the delivery man.
