When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 160: Chapter 160.

The coin karaoke room.

“No way… I have to sing this song…!”

When he came out from the coin karaoke room, he mumbled to himself.

After looking inside the room, Ojae saw that Eunyoung was shouting alone.

He went inside the room carefully. The song Eunyoung was singing had just ended, and the score was about to come out.

“It was one of my favorite songs, where had you gone to?” Eunyoung asked him.

“Gyeonhui just called me.”

“A call?”

“Yes, he said something urgent came up…”

Ojae continuously blurred the end of his words, feeling so sorry for Eunyoung.

“So… you’re telling me that you have to go?”

Hearing Eunyoung’s question, Ojae struggled to nod.

When the song that he wanted to sing came on, Eunyoung quickly pushed the stop button.

“Let’s go.”

“Sorry?”

“You said you have to go. Go then.”

“… Are you angry?”

“No, I just feel so offended.”

“I’m so sorry…”

“Why? It’s not even your fault. Go on. I’m feeling worse.”

Eunyoung gestured him to leave with her hand.

However, Ojae was still there and hesitated to leave. Thus, Eunyoung pushed his back out of the room.

Eunyoung pushed the start button again as if nothing had happened.

When the lyrics of the song showed up on the screen with a familiar melody, Eunyoung started singing the song.

Ojae looked at her from outside of the room through the small window. He lingered there for a long time and left thereafter.

When she could no longer see him, she put down the microphone.

“I was all dressed up for him. It has been such a long time…”

She smirked, outraged, and left the coin karaoke room.

When she left the room empty, the song that Ojae wanted to sing for her started playing on the machine.

“You’re much better than who you were in the past.”

It’s a song entitled ‘Couple’ by Sechskies.

Sun was left alone in the cafe. She drank two cups of coffee and left the cafe to go home.

The darkened street was even more crowded and filled with young couples.

“I thought I would be okay alone, but it’s lonely today…”

She used to arrange work or meetings to fill up her time on the weekend.

However, since she started seeing Gyeonhui again, she began to crave the feeling of seeing him, and it rose into something bigger and emptier inside of her.

“I miss Labong…” She smiled bitterly, and walked toward her place.

“Labong~”

Labong jumped on her as soon as she opened the door.

“Ruff! Ruff!”

She rubbed her face on Labong’s soft hair while hugging him.

“I missed you so much! Would you like to have a snack?”

“Ruff! Ruff!”

Labong was so excited and started barking as if he knew the meaning of ‘Snack.’

She even saw him wagging his tail. It seemed like he understood it clearly.

“Okay, okay. I’ll get you some snacks.”

Sun stood up and opened the drawer.

However, there was nothing in the drawer where they were supposed to be.

“Oh… no… I’m so sorry, Labong…”

Sun looked at Labong, feeling sorry.

Eunwoo always took care of Labong’s snacks for her, so she really didn’t need to think about it much. When she thought about Eunwoo, her mind calmed down.

“Labong, would you like to go for a walk and get some snacks?”

“Ruff! Ruff!”

She put a leash on Labong and prepared to go out with him.

The cafe in the Lasung Hotel.

Gyeonhui and Ojae were reviewing the documents regarding the merge with DNBM.

Ojae asked Gyeonhui to review the documents with a grim face.

“Are you sure that it’s today? Is the CEO of DNBM coming in for the meeting?”

“Yes. I don’t know what Chaekyeong is trying to do, but she has no reason to lie to me. Trust her.”

Gyeonhui enthusiastically reviewed the documents as if he did not want to waste even a small amount of his time to blink.

As long as the CEO of DNBM would come to have a meeting with him, Gyeonhui thought that he would make the negotiation successful.

This negotiation with DNBM could have a positive effect on Consencio, enough to expand his power over the entire Lasung group.

‘Bzzzz.’

At that moment, Gyeonhui’s phone rang.

He thought it was Chaekyeong and picked up the phone, but his face turned into stone when he saw the caller.

On his phone screen, Gyeonhui saw the name “Dog clinic doctor.”

“Why is this jerk calling me…?” He answered the phone while furrowing his eyebrows in wonder.

“What’s up? I don’t think we’re close enough to call each other on the weekend.”

Hearing Gyeonhui’s mean words, Eunwoo didn’t answer him.

“I think we need to meet.”

“Why would I do that?”

“I have something to discuss with you about Sun and business.”

Hearing Eunwoo, Gyeonhui burst out laughing.

“I understand if you’re talking about Sun but business? I have no business to discuss with a dog doctor in such a small town.

“I think there is something that I can do to help you.”

“There is nothing with which you could do to help me. Never.”

“Are you sure?”

“It’s not just my conviction. That’s the face of it.”

Eunwoo didn’t say anything.

Gyeonhui was satisfied and smiled to himself. Eunwoo didn’t say anything.

“By the way, stop interfering with Sun. This is a warning.”

Gyeonhui hung up the phone roughly on Eunwoo.

“Hah…” Gyeonhui exhaled a sigh of relief.

“Who are you talking to like that? You sounded very rude.” Ojae asked.

“You don’t need to know. Give me the last year’s sales revenue from DNBM.

“Here it is.”

Gyeonhui took the documents from Ojae and smiled enthusiastically.

“What… business?”

He shook his head outrageously and started reviewing the papers again. He only had one hour before he finally met the CEO of DNBM.

In the grocery store.

Sun came out of the store when she bought lots of snacks for Labong.

“I won’t need to worry about your snacks for a while, Labong.”

Sun smiled at Labong and held the leash in her hand while juggling the groceries in her other hand.

“Arf, arf.’

Labong put his nose in the grocery bag and started drooling.

“Do you want it now? Okay. Wait a minute.”

Sun put down the leash for a moment to take out the snacks from the bag. However, when she opened the snacks, Labong started running away.

“La, Labong!!!”

Sun panicked and hurriedly chased after him.

However, Labong crossed the street and quickly avoided the cars on the road while running away.

When he passed by a few streets, he suddenly stopped in the middle of an alley.
