When Your Pain Becomes Mine

Chapter 66: Chapter 66.

When she finally arrived at the bus stop, she looked back slightly. However, she hadn’t noticed that he had been following her until a while ago.

“Where did you go…”

Sun aimlessly looked around to find Gyeonhui, but she soon shook her head slowly, thinking that looking for him was ridiculous.

Sun plunked down on the bench and immediately sighed for a long time. She moved her feet slightly, and she soon felt pain not only on her heels but also in her sole and toes.

It would have been better to attach a bandage, but she couldn’t even think about getting it because she was rushing in the morning.

“Are we taking the bus here?”

Gyeonhui approached her and asked.

She nodded and quickly pulled her feet down under the bench to hide her feet from him.

He watched her calmly and suddenly sat beside her. She felt so awkward and moved to the side a little to put a distance between him.

He seemed to be struggling for a moment and pulled bandages out of his pocket and gave them to her.

Sun’s eyes widened in amazement. She looked at him and the bandages.

“Put some bandages on. It looks painful.”

Sun was so surprised that she could only hold up the bandages and look at him without saying anything.

“Put it on. Please listen to me.”

He suddenly took the bandages from her hand and slumped down with one knee in front of her.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t move.”

He tried to remove her shoes from her feet.

“… Don’t do it.”

She tried to pull her feet away, but he did not let go. Eventually, her shoes were peeled off, and her messy feet were revealed.

“Hah…”

He bit his lips while frowning.

“…It looks really painful.”

Her eyes shook as he said this. The actions that she had never seen from him before had shaken her heart. He seemed unfamiliar with how to use the bandages, and the sticky parts overlapped sloppily.

“Why is it doing this?”

After making a few mistakes, he carefully attached a bandage to her toes.

“Does it feel better?”

He asked, but she couldn’t answer. He tried to rip the other bandages again and put it on the other toe. This time, however, the adhesive part was overlapped again.

“… Give it to me. I’ll do it this time.”

Sun put a bandage on her own wounds instead.

As always, she was accustomed to treating her own wounds alone. His touch was obviously burdensome and uncomfortable.

However… Her heart continued to waver.

She had finished putting the bandages on, but she couldn’t hold her head.

“Are you done?”

He reached out once again to check the wound. Soon, Sun pushed his hand away coldly.

“… Act the way you’re used to, not like this. Please.”

Gyeonhui couldn’t reply to this.

“Bus 000 will be arriving soon.”

Just in time, the bus had arrived at the bus stop with that announcement.

She stood up from her seat as soon as it had stopped and rushed to get on the bus.

When she came home to find her cell phone, she plunked down on the couch weakly.

She looked out of the window, and the sun was already setting.

‘… It looks really painful.’

She looked out the window; his words and expressions did not leave her head alone.

“Hah…”

Sun shook her head, so she would stop thinking about him and soon picked up her phone.

She checked the missed calls and called the office.

“… I’m so sorry. I left my phone at home.”

“We thought so. By the way, did you go to the meeting with Mr. Wu? Were there any problems with him?”

Upon hearing Ari’s question, Sun looked down at her toes that were covered with bandages.

“… It was all fine.”

“Well, I’m glad, but what happened yesterday?”

“Yesterday? Oh, nothing, nothing happened. Why?” Sun seemed a little surprised.

“I heard that you inhaled some smoke? Did you?”

‘Did Dr. Park tell her..?’

Sun shook her head because Eunwoo wouldn’t do that based on how much she knew his personality.

“Who said it?”

“Ojae.”

“Mr. Kwon?”

Sun looked surprised and reiterated her words.

“He must’ve said something useless again. I thought there was a fire at your place or something. Never mind. Are you coming back to the office?”

“Huh? Yes, I’m coming in. ”

“Then, I’ll see you soon.”

‘Tuk,’ Sun was lost in her thoughts for a while holding the phone in her hand.

Eunwoo might have spoken directly to the Kids fan family, but he wouldn’t have told Ojae anything.

“What’s going on…”

Sun went over her memories again and soon realized that something didn’t make sense when her place caught on fire yesterday.

She didn’t know anything about what happened yesterday because she was ultimately at her wit’s end, but there were so many strange things about it.

It was strange that someone had called the fire department because they only heard Labong’s cry, and it was also odd that Eunwoo was the one who had received a call from someone. Furthermore, she knew that the paramedics wouldn’t fix the broken door for her. Not to mention, at that time, when the door was fastened, Eunwoo was in the hospital with her.

Sun had stood up quickly from her seat, opened the door, and went outside.

She looked under the new keyhole. There were the contact numbers of the company that installed the new door yesterday.

After a while, Sun pulled out her phone and called the company. After a few beeps, their employee answered the call.

“Hello, this is Hope Key, how can we help you?”

“Hi. I’m calling about the new door that was installed yesterday.”

“Yesterday? Yes, I remember it. Is there any problem with the door?”

“Oh, no. I just would like to ask you a question.”

After a moment’s pause, Sun carefully opened her mouth.

“Can you tell me who ordered for the repair on my door yesterday?”

“Well… Wait a minute. We don’t really check our customer’s ID unless we have to open their door and get inside.”

Sun bit her dry lips and waited for their answer.

“Oh, luckily, there’s a name on the cash receipt.”

“… Who was it?”

Her tightly clenched fist started to sweat.

A short time later, Sun’s eyes widened when she heard the repairman.

“Did you just say it was Ojae Kwon…?”

Once she confirmed the familiar name over the phone, her eyes shook violently.
