When Your Pain Becomes Mine - Chapter 151: Chapter 151.
“You will have to do something only you can. No one else could.”
If Gyeonhui failed to merge the company with DNBM, he would be laid off.
“I’m sorry that I can’t give you enough time.”
However, her face didn’t look sorry at all.
When she delivered what she had to say, she quickly turned around and got in the car waiting for her.
‘Brrrrr.’
When he watched her car going away, his mood sunk.

Gyeonhui pretended that he was confident when he talked with her; he was fully aware of how strongly her words would work in the business. He tried to calm down his anger, biting his lower lip.
“I guess you’re in trouble.”
At that moment, Chaekyeong approached him.
“… This isn’t your business.”
“How do I not care about it? My future husband’s involved.”
Gyeonhui no longer wanted to hear any of this anymore, so he tried to get in the car.
“I’ll arrange a meeting.”
Hearing her unexpected words, Gyeonhui stopped walking.
“What did you just say?”
“I’ll arrange a meeting for you with the CEO of DNBM.”
When he heard the words ‘the CEO of DNBM,’ his eyes widened.
“We still have many more dates like you promised, but we can do that after the business goes well.”
After he thought about her suggestion for a moment, he soon shook his head.
“I don’t need your help.”
“You need to think clearly.”
“I am, more than ever.”
“I don’t think so.” She continued, smiling at him.
“You need my help more than ever. This is not the time to be stubborn. You could lose everything you have.”
“…” Gyeonhui couldn’t say anything.
It was true.
The more he denied this girl who already knew the situation, the more pathetic he became.
Gyeonhui could do nothing but look at her with a severe face.
“Don’t have such a grave face. It’s scary. Smile.” Chaekyeong said, stroking his face.
“The meeting is tomorrow night. I’ll arrange the place and let you know.”
When she said this, she got in her sports car. With a loud engine sound, her car passed by him. She even rolled down the window and waved at him.
“Hah…”
Leaving the parking lot alone, he exhaled a sigh of frustration.

In the Kidz Fan office.
Reviewing the new design, Sun looked at the clock to confirm the time.
It was already past six o’clock; it was time to go home.
She looked at her phone, but there was no call from Gyeonhui.
‘Bzzzzz.’
At that time, Eunyoung’s phone rang.
“Okay, sounds good.”
When she hung up the phone, she grabbed her bag and stood up from her seat.
“Are you not leaving?”
“I am.” Hearing Eunyoung, Sun answered.
“Has he not called you yet?”
“No, we didn’t plan to meet tonight.”
“Then let’s go home.”
“Great.”
Ari answered excitedly instead of Sun, and Ari stood up from her seat as if she was waiting for Eunyoung to say it.
“Hmm. I still have something to do, so go on.”
“Hey, come on. We won’t feel comfortable if you stay late.”
Ari said, looking at Eunyoung to ask for help. Ari was afraid that she had to work late too because of Sun.
“The due date is tomorrow, and I haven’t finished it yet because I came back to the office late after lunch. Don’t worry about me. Go home and relax.”
Sun pushed Eunyoung and Ari away from the office.
‘Bang.’
When the office door closed, the silence laid down in the office.
“Hah…”
Sun returned to her desk after exhaling a shallow sigh; she started reviewing the design again.
‘Bzzzz.’
At that moment, her phone that was placed on her desk rang.
She was excited and picked up the phone immediately, but it was Eunwoo.
She wasn’t satisfied, but soon, she answered the phone with a smile.
“Hello, Dr. Park. It’s been a while.”
“Yes, it has. How are you?”
“I’m good. What’s up?”
“Are you busy tonight?”
“Tonight?”
Sun raised her head up and looked at the office door.
Not likely her wish, there was no one coming inside of the office.
“… No, I’m busy tonight.”
“I’m near your office. Would you like to have dinner with me?”
“Sure, sounds good.”
“I’ll call you when I arrive at your office.”
“Okay. I’ll see you soon.”
When she hung up the phone, she looked at it again.
Still, there was no call from Gyeonhui.
She smiled bitterly and started rushing to finish the work to leave.
***
In the parking lot of the Consencio building.
Gyeonhui was still lost in thought.
“I’ll arrange a meeting with the CEO of the DNBM.”
Her words didn’t leave his head.
“What’s her plan…?”
Gyeonhui mumbled to himself, irritated.
“What do you mean?” Ojae asked.
“I mean, Chaekyeong.”
“Maybe she just wants to help you?”
Hearing Ojae’s naive words, Gyeonhui shook his head.
It wasn’t like her to help him without asking anything in return.
“I can’t reject her help either… Hah…”
He didn’t know what to do, and he felt like he was stuck.
To keep his position as the CEO, he had to make the merge successful.
At least, he had to make the negotiation to buy some more time for the next move.
“Are you going home?”
“No, to my office.”
“Okay.”
Ojae drove the car into the parking lot and parked the car on the designated parking spot for the CEO.
When Ojae finished parking, he carefully looked back and asked.
“Is there anything you want me to do?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, if there’s nothing you need from me, I wonder if I can go home before you.”
Gyeonhui knew what it meant more than anyone.
“No. Just go away.”
“Why did you say it like that?”
“Your boss is in trouble, and all you think about in your head is having a date with her.”
“No, I have just promised to see her tonight…”
“Go. Go!”
“I can’t go if you say it like that…”
At that moment, a text came again from Eunyoung.
“I’m sorry I have to go.”
Ojae hurriedly got out of the car and tried to run.
“Hey! Ojae!”
“What?!”
“Do you know where Sun is now?”
“Sun? Hold on.” Ojae quickly texted Eunyoung.
“Eunyoung says, Sun’s going to work late at the office tonight.”
“Is she?”
“I’m leaving. Don’t call me because I’m off work from now on.”
“What? You’re such a betrayer…” Gyeonhui exhaled a sigh, biting his lower lip. However, soon a smile appeared on his face. “Alright, spring has sprung, He needs to enjoy it.”
Gyeonhui understood Ojae because he had watched him struggling for a long time because of his ex-girlfriend Sarah.
When he pushed the elevator button, he recalled what Ojae just told him.
“Is she working now?”
He had so much stuff to do, but he also needed to recharge himself.
He got on the elevator with a slight smile on his face.
