When Your Pain Becomes Mine - Chapter 148: Chapter 148.
In fact, the Lasung department store’s profits were dramatically dropping sharply in the aftermath of the law that bans Korean culture in China. However, Chunduk was hiding it from the company, and he was also dealing with a lot of other businesses to expand his market shares online. He had bribed a lot of media to release false sales data, but Mrs. Shin seemed to know something.
“Don’t go too far with your joke. It comes back to you bigger.”
Hearing her sarcastic words, Chunduk’s face subdued.
She soon moved her gaze to Senator Kang with a smile on her face.
“Senator Kang, I have something that I would like to discuss with you about business for the local community.”
“Sure, sounds good. Would you like to go in?”
Hearing him, Mrs. Shin and Chunduk stood up from their seat at the same time. However, looking at Chunduk, Senator Kang spoke.

“Why don’t you finish your dinner, Mr. Choi?”
This clearly showed that it wasn’t a game that Chunduk could play.
Without hiding the embarrassment from his face, Chunduk sat on the seat again.
Chunduk watched her back furiously until he could no longer see her.
“As long as the old bitch is in the company, my business won’t go any further. Well, at least it will take much longer.”
She was the absolute target to be removed for him to conquer the whole group. However, it was never easy, so he couldn’t do anything about her.
If he attacked the hive with a poor attempt, the insult that happened today would happen again.
“I have to either remove her or Gyeonhui…” Chunduk’s hand started trembling as he held the fork. “I need a strong punch to swing… the final blow…” Chunduk frowned like he had a headache.
‘Bzzzzz.’
At that moment, Chunduk’s phone started to ring.
95. Because You’re already beautiful
The dermatology office.
“Ow…”
Sun rubbed her legs that were still irritated from the waxing.
It didn’t hurt that much, but the feeling of burning still remained.
After a moment, Ari also finished waxing and came out.
“Ta-da!”
Ari showed off her silky legs to Sun.
“Does it not hurt for you?”
Sun asked her in wonder.
“It does. It hurts a lot, but once you do it, I don’t need to worry about it for a few weeks.”
Ari said, looking at her legs satisfied.
“You want to come again together later?”
“I don’t think I can come often…”
“Why, because of the cost? You get a big discount when you come with someone. Look.” Ari showed Sun the receipt.
Fortunately, it was a lower price than she expected.
“Let’s do it again later. Together, okay?”
When Sun agonized, Ari rushed her.
“Okay, okay.”
Sun involuntarily approved because Ari hung on her like a child.
“Yeah!” Ari shouted in excitement.
“We get more discounts if we bring more people. I think we should bring Eunyoung here too.
“If you can, go on.”
Hearing Ari, Sun smirked and looked at her hairless and silky legs.
It was the first time for her; the result was far better than she anticipated. Sun was satisfied.
“Let’s go back to the office. Eunyoung would get mad if we’re too late.”
Ari grabbed Sun’s arm and left the dermatology office.
“Cheonsun.”
At that moment, a familiar voice stopped them.
Gyeonhui, with a somewhat serious face, was walking toward them.
“Gyeonhui?”
Sun was surprised when she saw him unexpectedly, and she quickly hid her eyes with her hands. Ari also was scared of him, so she hid behind Sun.
“What, what are you doing here?”
“I was just passing by. Why are you hiding your eyes?”
“No, this is nothing.”
“Move your hands.”
He approached her and dropped her hands. He saw her slightly swollen eyes.
“That’s… people do this a lot these days… the eyeliner tattoo…”
Although she didn’t do anything wrong, for some reason, she was ashamed and blurred her words. She thought that Gyeonhui would yell at her for doing something stupid.
“I, I suggested that she come here. Please don’t blame Sun.” Hearing Sun, Ari spoke up to defend her.
However, Ari was still scared of Gyeonhui, so as soon as she said it, she went back and hid behind Sun.
“I didn’t say anything,” Gyeonhui said with a calm voice, and he started speaking slowly. “… Did it hurt?”
“Sorry?” Hearing his question, that was unlike his usual self, Sun raised her head up and looked at him.
He lowered and looked at her eyes carefully.
“They’re swollen and red.”
“The doctor said it will be fine soon. Don’t worry about it.”
“How can I not worry? You’re injured.”
Sun’s eyes became blank.
His soft and gentle voice made her mind warm immediately like magic. Her face started to blush.
“I’m… I’m really okay.”
Sun put her face down, feeling shy about her blushed face.
Since the atmosphere wasn’t bad, Ari also exhaled a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Ojae glanced at Ari’s legs, and he asked.
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“It stings for a moment. Would you like to do it too?”
“What? Me?”
“Why not? Men also do it a lot these days for their beard, hairline, and the hair on their legs. You can basically remove the hair from any part you want to.”
“Hmm.” Ojae seemed like he was already convinced.
“The more people we bring in, the lower the price we’ll pay. Hey, Sun, Mr. Kwon will do it with us. Let’s come back here later with him too.” Ari said excitedly
“No!” Suddenly Gyeonhui shouted.
The three of them were surprised and looked at Gyeonhui in wonder.
“I mean…” At that moment, Gyeonhui felt an awkward mood change, so he blurred the end of his words. “Sun, come this way for a second.”
Gyeonhui quickly grabbed Sun’s hand and stayed a little away from them.
When Gyeonhui and Sun had enough distance from Ojae and Ari, Gyeonhui started speaking in a low voice.
“Never do this again.”
“It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt.”
“Just don’t. Okay?”
Looking at him disagreeing with the waxing, Sun only looked at him instead of answering.
Gyeonhui was frustrated because he couldn’t explain everything to her.
“Please. please just listen to me.”
“I don’t get it. Why do you not want me to do it again?”
“Just don’t! Because you’re already so beautiful without this!”
Because of his shouting, a profound silence hung between them.
He frowned because he couldn’t believe that he had literally said such a corny phrase, but on her face, a slight smile appeared.
“Anyways, you don’t need to do any of this, so don’t do this anymore. Okay? Promise me.”
Sun slowly nodded.
“I have to go to a forum.”
Gyeonhui left there as if he were running away.
She was still there and looked at herself in the window.
Her face blushed, and it made her more attractive.
“Did he just say that I’m beautiful…”
Sun started walking, struggling to stop giggling.
