When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 157: Chapter 157.

***

The next day.

Labong licked Sun’s sleeping face.

“Hey, stop it, Labong.”

Sun said while shifting her body, but Labong didn’t stop licking.

Sun finally hugged Labong.

“What’s wrong with you, Labong…”

She was still drowsy, but soon, she picked up her phone and confirmed the time.

“Hmm… it’s 11 am…”

She just put her phone down. However, she picked it up and confirmed the time again.

Her eyes grew big, as if she couldn’t believe it.

“What!? 11 am!?”

She only had half an hour left until her meeting with Gyeonhui.

“Akkkk!!”

Sun woke up immediately and jumped in the shower.

Her hair was all tangled up around her hairband.

“Ow, ow!”

However, she didn’t have much time, so she took the hairband off forcefully, which pulled out a lot of hair.

“Ow…”

It was painful, but she was running out of time, so she jumped in the shower.

When she finished showering quickly, she looked at the clock while drying her hair.

She only had ten minutes left.

“Oh, my gosh..”

She drank a lot, and she was feeling complicated, so she fell asleep late last night. Her body felt so heavy and tired.

When she was about to wear a hoodie, she suddenly recalled what Gyeonhui said last night.

“Let’s have a date.”

When Sun’s face reflected in the mirror, she realized that she didn’t look like she would have a date with a man. She took off the hoodie and took out some dresses from the closet and placed them in front of her body to see which one looked good on her.

Among the dresses was a navy colored dress with a llama printed on it that looked best on her.

When she put it on quickly, she sat on the vanity.

‘Bzzzzzz.’

At that moment, her phone started ringing.

It was him.

“Please, just a moment…”

She knew that she would be late for sure, so she couldn’t take the call.

She opened the makeup box because she couldn’t go out and see him without makeup on.

***

“Huh? She’s not answering the phone.”

Gyeonhui put down his phone while he was waiting for her in front of her place.

“Ow…”

Gyeonhui stroked the back of his head.

It was still painful like he had lost a lot of hair.

“Did she wake up late?”

It seemed like she was still getting ready.

Gyeonhui picked up his phone and called her again. However, she was still not answering him.

“I’m calling her to tell her that it’s okay to get ready slowly.”

At that moment, when he looked up at her place, he felt pain in his eyelid this time.

It seemed like Sun was curling up her eyelashes, but it was more like she was pulling them off because she wasn’t skilled.

“Ouch! Ow!”

After that, he felt the pain of something sharp poking his eyes, and then something scalding burnt his ears thereafter.

“Please… please do it slowly.”

Gyeonhui was frustrated and picked up his phone again.

Fortunately, she answered the phone this time.

“Hey, Gyeonhui.”

“Hey, it’s me. Take your time. I’m fine.”

“Are you already here?”

“Yes, but I’m really okay, so don’t rush and take you time, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll come out soon.”

She hurriedly hung up the phone.

“I should have told her that I would be late.”

After that, other pain continued. She knew that he was already waiting for her, so she wouldn’t move slower now. Never.

***

Sun looked at herself in the mirror.

She felt good about her dress and her makeup that she hadn’t worn in such a long time.

“It’s pretty.”

She smiled like she was satisfied with herself.

Although she poked her eyes with a makeup pencil, pulled out her eyelashes, and burnt her ears with the hair iron, she couldn’t remember the pain it caused anymore.

She took out a pair of high heels from her shoe closet, and she finally finished the perfect outfit for today.

When she double-checked her front and behind, she came out through the door.

She descended stairs out to the alley and saw that Gyeonhui was waiting for her while leaning against his car.

His approaching face was different than usual.

“Why? Do I look strange?”

“No, you look great.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Sun smiled at Gyeonhui, who was almost panicking.

She felt like her troubles in the morning turned into nothing just because of one word that Gyeonhui uttered.

“Get in the car, please.”

Gyeonhui gestured towards his car as if a prince were serving a princess.

“Is it your horse, prince?” Sun said while looking at his car.

Gyeonhui started speaking when he realized that she was playing.

“Yes, it is, my princess.”

He answered her while holding the end of her fingers slightly and leading her to his car.

Sun followed his lead while lifting her chin up and pretending to be arrogant.

“Kuk… kuk…”

“Kuk…”

The two of them almost burst out laughing over their ridiculous playfulness.

They barely endured, but when they saw each other, they couldn’t hold it anymore and burst out laughing.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“Hahaha.”

They looked around quickly because their laughing was much louder than they thought.

They got into the car hurriedly when they noticed that no one saw them.

Sun started speaking when she got in the passenger seat.

“I’m sorry to make you wait so long.”

“I’ll forgive you because you’re so pretty today.”

Gyeonhui approached her and fastened her seat belt for her while smiling at her.

His crisp scent came to her.

Before he went back to his seat, he paused and looked at her face quietly.

“However, if you feel so sorry for making me wait so long, here is your punishment.”

As soon as he said this, he gently kissed her forehead.

When he moved his lips from her forehead, he smiled and looked at her. She was looking up at his face steadily; she soon covered his face with her two hands. He was a little surprised and looked at her in wonder.

“Then, I’ll give you a reward because you’ve saved me.”

She kissed his lips, closing her eyes.

Her sensitive lips conveyed the firm, but soft, feeling of his lips to her.

He was a little surprised, but soon, he closed his eyes. It was like time had stopped entirely for a second because of the short but sharp kiss.

“Bzzzz.’

At that moment, a text message came to Gyeonhui’s phone.

Sun was embarrassed and moved her lips from him.

“Hah…” He was annoyed and frowned.

“Who the hell is it?”

He thought if it was Ojae, and he was already thinking of killing him, and he picked up his phone.

However, Gyeonhui’s face hardened immediately as soon as he saw the text.

The text was from Chakyeong.

“I’ve arranged a meeting. At 7 pm, tonight. At Lasung hotel.”

Only this short text was enough to make his eyes shake anxiously.
