When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 175: Chapter 175.

“I’ll pack my stuff from the office later today.”

When Gyeonhui hung up the phone, he leaned against the wall.

At that time, Gyeonhui saw Eunwoo getting out of the elevator.

Eunwoo also saw him, and he walked straight towards Gyeonhui.

“What are you doing here?” Gyeonhui asked.

“I’m here for Sun. How’s she doing?”

Gyeonhui shook his head instead of answering.

“Please give this to her.” Eunwoo handed out a small stone to Gyeonhui.

“What is this?”

“It’s a secret that she and I only know.”

“Hmm… a secret…”

Gyeonhui smiled bitterly because he made him go through all of this without telling Eunwoo.

“Are you just leaving like this?”

Eunwoo slowly nodded.

“She wouldn’t want to show anyone that she’s sick. Please also tell her that Labong’s doing well too.”

After that, Eunwoo left.

Gyeonhui looked down at the stone steadily in his hand.

“… Go. You can go.”

With his hardened face, he went into the hospital room.

Gyeonhui put the stone in her hand.

“The dog doctor was here to see you. He wanted me to give this to you. Labong’s also doing fine.”

However, Sun didn’t answer.

Her pale face looked like she was ultimately a different person. Gyeonhui slowly stroked her face with his trembling hand carefully.

“Everyone is doing fine, so, please… please wake up… please.”

Gyeonhui shoved his face on the bed and burst out crying.

At that time, her hand began trembling as she held the stone…

Maybe it was luck
‘Knock, knock.’

Hearing the knocking, Gyeonhui struggled to raise his face up.

“It’s me,” Ojae said, coming into the room.

Gyeonhui quickly wiped his eyes and stood up from the seat.

“Watch her for me. I’ll be right back.”

Dropping his face, Gyeonhui quickly left the intensive care unit. When he came out from the room, he leaned against the wall and tried to endure the grief that was coming out from the deep recesses of his mind.

“I don’t even deserve to cry. Stop it.”

However, once the tears began, it could not be stopped.

***

When he arrived at the Consencio building, Gyeonhui got on the elevator.

After a while, he got out of the elevator and walked toward the Kidz fan office.

He saw the sign of the Kidz Fan office on the door. He stopped and opened the office door.

The office was empty except the office furniture that was already there before they moved in.

It seemed like the Kidz Fan people moved out of the building in a hurry, so the office looked disorganized and haphazard.

Gyeonhui looked at the spot where Sun used to work. He recalled Sun’s face with a bright smile. However, it disappeared soon, and the empty office only caught his eyes.

It felt like his mind and heart also became emptied entirely.

Looking at the office hollowly, Gyeonhui soon walked towards his office.

He was putting his stuff in a small box, and a text message came.

“I heard that you were laid off. Congratulations that you’re not on my radar anymore.”

The text was so much like Chaekyeong.

Gyeonhui smiled bitterly, turned his face, and looked out the window.

The coffee flower on the green coffee tree had fallen. The flower petals that showed off its white beauty fell into the soil and were rotting in black and brown.

Gyeonhui reached out and picked up the flower petals.

The flower pattern on his chest and the flower that had bloomed on the tree was all gone. There were no coffee flowers left anywhere.

He put the fallen flower in the book. It had already started to turn brown; it was still so precious to him.

At that time, the office door opened, and the security guards entered all at once.

“What?”

“The Vice President wants to meet with you.”

“… Tell her that I don’t want to.”

“I’m sorry, Sir, but we have to take you to her.”

The security guards grabbed Gyeonhui’s arms in an instant.

“Let go of me! Let me go!!”

Gyeonhui struggled, but he couldn’t get away from so many of them.

***

The doctor came to make rounds while checking on Sun’s pupils.

“Why hasn’t she woke up still?” Ojae asked.

“Well… Her vitals have recovered quite well. Let’s wait and see a little longer.”

When he said this, the doctor left the room.

“Let’s wait and see… I could say that too. Huh!”

Pouting his mouth out, Ojae exhaled a long sigh. Sun was still unconscious.

“I’m so sorry… Sun… I’m really sorry…”

Closing his eyes tightly, Ojae apologized to her.

“I know you can’t hear me, but I’m so sorry. I really am.”

Holding his two fists tightly, Ojae apologized to her again. However, at that time, one of her hands trembled slightly.

Because of that, the small stone that was in her hand fell down on the floor.

‘Tick.’

“Wow! What was that!?”

Ojae was surprised at the sound of the stone falling, so he gasped.

“Oh my…”

Then Ojae thoughtlessly just picked up the stone from the floor.

He tried to put the stone back in her hand, and he suddenly stopped in wonder.

“Why did the stone fall on the floor…?”

There was definitely enough space between Sun and him.

He had no memory of hitting or shaking anything. His narrowed eyes started looking at Sun’s hand.

He then saw Sun’s hand that trembled slightly.

“Doc… Doctor! Doctor!!!”

His eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran out of the room.

***

The patient’s room of Chairman Woo.

Mrs. Shin looked down at him without saying anything.

At that time, the room door opened with a knocking sound.

Gyeonhui, who was pushed by the security guards, came into the room.

“You screwed everything up over such a worthless girl.” Mrs. Shin said, furrowing her eyebrows.

“That’s because she’s everything to me,” Gyeonhui answered in a bold voice.

“Are you still saying that after you’ve lost everything?”

“As long as I have her, I didn’t lose everything.

Mrs. Shin was frustrated and looked at him furiously.

“You’re just like your father.”

He had barely heard about his father, so he frowned in wonder.

“He was just like you. He threw everything away because of a girl, and he died from it. No one looked for him, and he suffered until the end of his days.”

Her eyes were filled up with anger and fury.

“You have no idea how terrible his life was. I guess that’s why you’re still acting like a child.”

“Were you the woman he had chosen?”

“…”
