Chapter 142: Chapter 142.
“Really?”
Looking at Sun, who couldn’t believe what Ojae did, Eunyoung smirked.
“I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the flower from Ojae.”
Eunyoung showed the card Ojae gave to her, to Sun.
‘I would love you and share your pain.’
When Sun read the card, her eyes shook.
“Mr. Kwon told me that he doesn’t want me to get hurt anymore, but actually, that’s what I always wanted to tell myself.”
Eunyoung stroked the hydrangea gently as if it were herself.
“… That’s why you said I’m only partially right.”
Eunyoung nodded.
Looking at Eunyoung’s calm face, Sun became more comfortable than before.
“Mr. Kwon did a great job today.”
“I think I should reward him.”
“What?” Sun asked her again, but Eunyoung didn’t answer and just picked up her bag.
“Are you staying here?”
“No, I’m only here to see you.”
“Really? I’m sorry, but I have to go now.”
“Where are you going to go?”
“I need to see him.”
“Who?”
Eunyoung winked at Sun instead of answering.
“Who is she going to meet? No… no way…”
When Sun figured out Eunyoung’s thoughts, Sun’s eyes widened.
“What a jackpot…”
Sun couldn’t shut her mouth, but soon she nodded slowly. If it were Ojae, he would be able to love even Eunyoung’s pain.
“Sharing someone’s pain together…”
Sun was left alone in the office, and she soon turned all the lights off. She came out of the office after locking the office door.
She furrowed her eyebrows because of the pain in her ankle.
“Ow…”
Just as Eunwoo told her, her ankle bone was fine, but the pain was getting worse whenever she tried to walk.
At that moment, the elevator opened, and Gyeonhui got out of the elevator hurriedly.
“Cheonsun! Cheonsun! Are you okay?”
He cried her name as if she were the only person in this world.”
“What, what are you doing here? What if somebody sees us?”
“I don’t care. Is your ankle okay?”
“What? How did you know that?”
“That’s… I just heard that you were injured.”
Gyeonhui was embarrassed and just made up a story before looking at her ankle.
‘Did he hear from Dr. Park?’
She thought it was strange because she knew Gyeonhui would never want to talk with Eunwoo on the phone. However, she forgot the peculiar feeling because of her worsening throbbing pain.
“I’m sure it hurts a lot. It looks bad.”
Gyeonhui made a fuss about her injury, unlike his usual self, and carefully looked at her ankle.
Watching him sharing her own pain, she thought it was strange, but at the same time, his actions impressed her.
Sun smiled involuntarily.
“What? What are you smiling at?”
“Just because,” Sun said, struggling not to smile.
“Stop smiling. I was so worried about you. I think we should go and see a doctor.”
“We don’t need to go. It’s fine.”
“How are you so sure? It’s swollen a lot.” Gyeonhui said bluntly.
Sun looked at him quietly and started speaking.
“By the way, would you like to have some coffee with me?”
“Coffee? Suddenly?” Gyeonhui asked again.
Sun nodded as an answer.
“… Where?”
“How about my place?”
Gyeonhui calmly looked at Sun’s face as if he were trying to read her mind.
“Call.”
By the time he answered, he had lifted her onto his back.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Sun was embarrassed and cried, hitting his back with her hands.
“I want to go to your place quickly before you change your mind.”
She had no idea where he got such strength. However, he started walking while carrying her on his back like he was almost running.
While he was carrying her, she calmly put her face on his broad back.
“… the person who will share your pain…”
It was such happiness and comfort that she hadn’t felt in a long time.
You still resent me
In Gyeonhui’s car.
Gyeonhui was driving, but he steadily looked at her.
“Stop looking at me, please.”
“… Sorry. I just can’t believe this.”
“You mean having some coffee or me asking you to go to my place?”
“Both.”
Hearing his honest answer, Sun smirked.
“If you regret what you said, tell me. I can forget the whole thing.”
“Why do you think that I would regret it?” She asked.
“Just because…” Gyeonhui couldn’t say anything more.
Without hearing him, Sun could read his mind.
“I understand. I’ve never thought that we would meet again like this.” Sun answered him instead.
“I was alone in the office, and coffee came to mind when I saw you. It’s scary to get familiar with something that we used to do together.
It was her exact thought. Hearing her steadily, Gyeonhui started to speak.
“It’s not something that I wouldn’t want to hear from you.
“Why?”
“Because it means that you were glad to see me.”
Hearing Gyeonhui, Sun recalled when she saw him running at her. She was certainly glad to see him.
“How are you feeling these days?” He asked.
“About what?”
“We’ve started seeing each other again anyway.”
“Well…” It wasn’t something that she could describe. “… bittersweet…”
It was the closest she could think.
“Bittersweet?” He asked her again.
She nodded.
Hearing her reiterating her words, he softly held her hand.
Sun quietly looked at her own hand. She piercingly looked at his hand that was covering her small hand entirely.
His warm and comforting hands helped her relax.
She didn’t want anything at least at that moment. She was absolutely happy.
She moved her gaze to the outside of the window. A slight smile appeared on her face.
***
Dosan Park.
Ojae sat on the bench and exhaled a long sigh steadily.
He went into the office to console Eunyoung, but he thought it made her even more complicated.
“It’s my true love for you…”
He grabbed his own hair like he was regretting what he had said to her.
“I was crazy… She was already stressed out because of her ex-husband…”
However, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn’t take it back.
At that time, his cell phone rang.
He thought it would be Gyeonhui and tried to answer the phone. However, when he saw the unexpected name on his cell phone, his eyes widened.
It was definitely Eunyoung’s name.
He was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. Instead of answering the phone, Ojae just continued to look at the phone blankly.
When he pulled himself together, he quickly put the phone to his ear hurriedly.
“Hello, hello?”
