When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 156: Chapter 156.

You will be punished
Gyeonhui quickly looked around the alley.

However, he couldn’t see anything in the dark.

“What was that?”

Gyeonhui still looked at the alley nervously.

“What’s wrong?” Sun asked, looking at Gyeonhui, who was only glaring at the alley with a firm expression.

“No… it’s nothing.” He relieved her anxiety while smiling at her.

He wanted to feel this happiness a little longer.

Gyeonhui hugged her even tighter.

At the corner of the alley.

Woochang hid in the dark and watched Sun and Gyeonhui moving away.

When Woochang thought he wasn’t caught, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

“Hah…”

However, Woochang soon glared at Sarah furiously.

“We almost got caught because of you. Can’t you be more careful!?”

“I’m, I’m sorry..”

When he raised his hand, Sarah immediately flinched.

It seemed like this wasn’t the first time he abused her.

“Give it to me.”

‘… Okay.”

Sarah handed her phone out to him.

When he confirmed the pictures and videos that she had been taking, he smiled meanly.

“This should be enough.”

“Do you really think we’re going to make a lot of money with this?”

“Sure, so don’t screw it up.”

He was dreaming of a bright future in his eyes.

***

Sun’s place.

When she got out of the shower, she sat on the vanity and towel-dried her hair.

She recalled Gyeonhui when he hugged her in the alley while she was looking in the mirror.

It was like there were only two people in the world when he hugged her so tightly into his own chest.

She awkwardly cleared her throat quickly after she noticed her own blushing and smiling face.

However, she smiled again, involuntarily.

“Ruff, ruff!” Labong started barking at her.

She smiled at Labong and held him and put him on her lap.

“I know I look foolish, but I can’t help smiling because I’m so happy,” Sun said while stroking Labong.

‘Bzzzz.’

At that moment, her phone rang.

It was Eunyoung.

“Hey, Eunyoung.”

“Did you make it home?”

“Sure. How about you? Did Mr. Kwon drop you off at your place?”

“Yes, he did. Are you still with Mr. Woo?”

“No, why? What’s going on?”

Hearing Eunyoung’s subdued voice, Sun became anxious.

“Didn’t you see Dr. Park at the office?”

“I did. I heard that you got him a visitor’s pass.”

“Yes. Didn’t he say anything to you?”

“We were going to have dinner together, but he said he had to go. Why?”

“No… it’s nothing. I’m just worried about him.”

Hearing Eunyoung, Sun’s face remained subdued. She also recalled Eunwoo’s serious eyes when he was looking at her

‘… Can I really do that…?’

His serious voice was conveying his real thoughts that she hadn’t noticed until now.

She could feel his emotion for her that he couldn’t hide.

“I know what you mean. I’ll talk to him later.’

“… Okay.” Eunyoung answered.

When Sun hung up the call with Eunyoung, she exhaled a long sigh.

She had to be honest with him because he was one of the people that cared for.

When she made a firm decision, she nodded her head slowly.

In Gyeonhui’s living room.

After parking the car, he came into the living room.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Ojae came home earlier than Gyeonhui and approached him. Ojae’s face looked so happy as if somebody drew a smile on his face.

“I guess you had a great time with her.”

Hearing Gyeonhui’s playful words, Ojae smiled awkwardly.

“Yes, I did.”

“You’re this in love even though you’re already old.”

“What do you mean old? I’m not that old yet?”

“Sure, sure. You’re not.”

Gyeonhui suddenly stopped when he tried to walk past him.

“By the way, send me the second quarter’s sales performance data, please.”

“Are you not going to bed? It’s late…”

It was already past midnight.

“I can’t go to bed. I have to work…”

“Do it tomorrow. It’s too late.”

“I’m the CEO of Consencio. Having a relationship with Sun is important, but I also have to work harder to keep this position.”

When Gyeonhui said this, his face looked a little nervous and grim. Mrs. Shin was such a burden for Gyeonhui that he couldn’t just ignore.

“Didn’t Chakyeong tell you that she would arrange the meeting for you?” Ojae entreated him.

“I can’t fully trust her, and it could go wrong. We need to have a plan B.”

“Plan B?”

“I need to prove myself to everyone, and the best way to demonstrate our ability is to show a high sales volume.

Hearing Gyeonhui, Ojae agreed.

“Send it to me right away. I’ll look into it right after showering.”

“Sir, yes, sir,” Ojae answered like his assistant for real.

Gyeonhui smirked outrageously, but Gyeonhui, at that moment, recalled the camera shutter sound that he heard in the dark.

‘Click.’

His face became serious.

“What’s wrong?” Looking at Gyeonhui’s face, Ojae asked.

“… Was it the paparazzi?”

“Paparazzi? What are you talking about?”

“I heard a camera shutter sound near Sun’s place tonight.”

“Really?”

Ojae’s face became severe too.

“I’ll check it out at the PR department now.”

If this was just the paparazzi in general, Ojae would try to stop them before the pictures got to the press.

Especially since amateur paparazzi often asks for money in exchange for the pictures in pretty much the same way, so Ojae knew what to do with them.

However, Gyeonhui shook his head

“No, just leave it.”

“What?”

“It doesn’t matter even if the picture is released to the public.”

“What if the vice president finds out…”

Ojae was already panicking as soon as he thought about Mrs. Shin, so he blurred the end of his words.

Gyeonhui seemed to have finally made up his mind and started speaking slowly.

“I won’t avoid any trouble from now on. I will face them in my own way and my own thoughts, even if I get crushed or collapse.”

Ojae was surprised and looked at Gyeonhui again.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You… you’ve changed a lot. Seriously.”

“What’s changed? I don’t get it.”

“You’re so cool.”

“I’ve always been cool.”

“No, you were such a basta…”

Ojae soon had to shut his mouth when he noticed Gyeonhui’s furious gaze.

However, it was too late.

“I let you say such things to me earlier because Sun was with us. Watch your mouth.”

“That’s… not… Gyeonhui..”

“Come right here!”

Ojae ran away immediately even before Gyeonhui stood up from his seat.

After a moment, Gyeonhui heard the sound of Ojae rolling down the stairs.

“Haha, you’ve deserved it.”

Gyeonhui smiled like he was satisfied and sat on the seat. However, soon his face darkened.

He told Ojae his plan for the future with full confidence, but Mrs. Shin wasn’t an easy person to deal with. Moreover, the sound of a camera shutter continuously made him anxious.

“Hmm…”

He shook his head and went to the restroom while taking his jacket off.
