When Your Pain Becomes Mine - Chapter 170

Sun kept calling Sarah, but she was just running away from Sun in fear.

“Hey, Woochang! Woochang!”

Sarah needed to do something different since Sun found out who they were.

Sarah hurriedly ran outside of the warehouse to find Woochang. Meanwhile, Sun still tried to untie the strap on her wrist.

Now that Sun found out who kidnapped her, they could kill her anytime.

Sun had to run away before the man came back.

Gyeonhui turned on the phone app and checked Sun’s body status. Her heart rate and blood pressure looked normal.

“Hah…”

Gyeonhui exhaled a sigh of relief, and he activated the globe button in the menu.

“What is this?”

“This is a GPS tracking system installed in this app. I didn’t know that I would use it like this.”

It was a function in the phone application to collect more detailed information about the wearer, such as their travel distance, the number of steps, and their location.

Gyeonhui started searching for the location where the app was indicating with his phone.

The app was indicating somewhere near Gyeonhui, Sun must have still worn the watch on her wrist.

Gyeonhui quickly started walking toward the location where the app was indicating.

The GPS system in the watch was just for exercise, so it didn’t provide her exact location, but it was a big help in this dangerous situation.

The GPS indicator was pointing to a warehouse that wasn’t far from Gyeonhui.

“It’s one of them,” Gyeonhui said, pointing to the three warehouses in the distance.

As he carefully tried to move his feet, Gyeonhui suddenly collapsed.

“What? What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Ojae struggled to help Gyeonhui and asked.

“… Bastard…” Gyeonhui said, holding his throbbing thigh with his hand.

Ojae was able to know what was happening to Gyeonhui by only watching Gyeonhui’s face.

At that moment, they saw a man coming out of the warehouse with a squeaky sound.

It was one of the warehouses in the deepest corner.

“Shh!”

Gyeonhui said, covering his mouth with his finger.

When the man moved away from the warehouse, Gyeonhui looked at Ojae.

“Go and bring the car here.”

“We need to go inside together.”

“We have to get out of here before the man returns, so we should go separately.”

“Got it.” At the same time, Ojae answered. He quickened his pace while bending his body, not to be caught.

Gyeonhui turned off his phone and cautiously went toward the warehouse.

***

At Chairman Woo’s room in the hospital.

Mrs. Shin was wiping the unconscious Chairman’s hand while sitting next to him.

‘Knock, knock.’

When she heard the knocking, she answered, “Come in.”

Chaekyeong soon opened the door and went inside the room.

“Hello, Mrs. Shin.” Chaekyeong greeted her brightly, but somehow, her face didn’t look like her usual self.

“You must have heard the news.”

Mrs. Shin said as if she had just read Chaekyeong’s mind by watching her face in an instant.

“Wow. I can’t hide my thoughts from you.”

“I already made up my mind. Sorry for wasting time.”

“That’s not the only reason why I came here, Mrs. Shin.”

“Then?” Mrs. Shin asked her in wonder.

“I know it’s imprudent, but I wanted to know if you’re okay. I understand what you’ve done was all for Gyeonhui.”

Hearing Chaekyeong’s unexpected words, Mrs. Shin smiled bitterly. “Well… I don’t even know exactly why I’m doing this.”

Having an unfamiliar smile on her face, Mrs. Shin looked down at Chairman Woo.

There was just an old man lying down on the bed unconscious, having lost his brutality.

Watching him steadily, Mrs. Shin’s face was stricken with endless sadness.

“I’m so sorry, but can you please leave us alone?”

“… Okay.”

When Chaekyeong bowed to her, she left the room.

“How long has this been going on…?”

Feeling hollow, Chaekyeong mumbled to herself. She soon took out her phone to call.

She was frustrated and desperately wanted to have a drink with someone.

***

At the bar in Hannam.

Chaekyeong emptied the cocktail that the bartender offered at once.

“Hu…” Her face was hardened.

She was frustrated because of Gyeonhui’s demotion and her inability to deal with her own emotions.

“Huh? Chaekyeong?”

At that moment, Chunduk, with a high-tone of voice, came to her.

He had such a strange-looking face even when he was smiling.

“Who said I can’t spit on a smiling face…?”

“What? Who’s smiling?”

Not realizing that she was talking about him, Chuhduk looked around the bar. He looked like he had something to enjoy.

‘What’s going on? You look excited.”

“Maybe.”

“No way, is it because of Gyeonhui’s demotion?”

“You heard it too?”

Chunduk approached her even closer and lowered his voice.

Chaekyeong stepped away from him; he ignored her and continued speaking.

“Why don’t you start seeing me now? Gyeonhui’s done. He’s finished!”

Looking at Chunduk with confidence, Chaekyeong burst out a hearty laugh.

“Didn’t I say that you were too ugly before?”

“Hey, I look just fine, and you shouldn’ judge men on their appearance.”

“Oh, shouldn’t I? Then how about you?”

“What about me?”

“Would you still lech after me if I were not pretty?”

“Well… that’s…”

His face turned red without saying anything.

“You’re so ugly… your face… and mind too.”

Chaekyeong clicked her tongue and stood up from her seat. At that moment, Chunduk roughly grabbed her arm.

“Hey! It hurts!” Chaekyeong said, but Chunduk still didn’t let her go.

“Are you that great?! You’re not even in the top 10 of the business.”

He meant that Chaekyeong’s company wasn’t in the biggest top 10 companies in the country.

Chaekyeong pushed his hand away from her and smirked at him.

“That sounds right, so you can stop messing around with people who aren’t rich enough.” She said, not hiding her anger at him.

“Alright. I’ll see how long you guys can look down on me.”

“Gyeonhui can start again.”

“I’m not talking about that.”

Chunduk smiled nastily. He left an aftertaste as if he had something more behind.

“I don’t need to tell you anything, because you’re going to find it out soon enough.”

He glanced at her with a smile and left the bar.

“You’re such a jerk.”

Chaekyeong tried not to think of him. However, his last words made her so anxious and uncomfortable. He wouldn’t talk aloud like that if he hadn’t had something in his hand because he didn’t have a lot of nerve in him. He really bothered her mind.

At that moment, she saw Eunwoo coming into the bar.

“Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you so long…”
