Chapter 33: Chapter 33.
When Sun returned home, she pulled Labong from the dog crate and took an ice pack out of the freezer.
Her ankle had shaken slightly and was swollen.
“Ugh.”
When she put an ice pack on it, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Soon, however, it felt slightly cold, and the swelling subsided.
“Oh, it feels much better.”
She leaned over the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.
‘Dr. Park… it sounds like I’m an old man.’
Eunwoo’s sudden words made her burst out laughing. She giggled for a second while recalling Eunwoo’s request.
“Call me by name… It’s not difficult.”
Sun sat upright again, closed her mouth, and grumbled several times.
“Eu… Eun… woo… Hah… it’s really more awkward than I thought.”
Sun shrugged awkwardly.
It was not easy for her to call his name since she was so used to calling him Dr. Park.
‘See you as a friend. Sometime we could chat at the café or eat dinner together.’
“It’s good. I think I’ve got a good friend.”
Eunwoo’s voice came to her mind, and Sun’s face smiled unknowingly.
In retrospect, Eunyoung and Ari were the only friends that she could be open with. When her dad passed away, she was afraid to get close to anyone. She was scared that people would leave her as he did.
However, she felt something different this time.
Invariably, and for a long time after, it seemed that he would be there for her.
She looked in the mirror and saw a face full of unforced smiles.
“Hmm.”
She coughed awkwardly and calmed her expression.
However, suddenly, like the sun in the morning, a smile returned to her face.

The next morning, at the Kids Fan office.
“Good morning.”
Sun stepped inside while shouting loudly, pretending to be cheerful.
“Hey, you’re here. Ari, let’s put this over there.”
Eunyoung, who was dressed in a comfortable outfit, handed Ari a file containing the portfolio.
“Give it to me. I’ll do it.”
After laying down the bag, Sun quickly reached out and received the file.
“Thank you.”
Eunyoung smiled and handed her the file.
Then, the office phone rang.
“Yes, this is Kids Fan. Yes, the event? What? You mean now?”
Eunyoung looked embarrassed and stayed on the phone as she asked.
“No, you said, move into the building right away, so we are packing now… Hah.”
“Why? What’s going on?”
Sun felt something unusual and asked.
“I don’t know. They said they’re going to have an event at the orphanage and would like to use our products at the event. They want us to bring our samples right away.”
Eunyoung covered the phone with her hands and continued the conversation.
“I’ll do it as soon as we move to our office. It’s not that urgent, is it? Hello? Hah.”
Eunyoung sighed and put down her cellphone.
“Consencio?”
Eunyoung nodded while she took off her gloves upon hearing Sun’s question.
“I’ll go; you guys stay here and pack this stuff.”
“No. I’ll go.”
Sun came out.
“No. As long as I can, I don’t want you to bump into Mr. Woo.”
Eunyoung seemed anxious.
“No, I have to see him more.”
Eunyoung stopped and looked at her as if she were surprised by Sun’s words.
“So, I become stronger. I need to throw any weakness in me quickly.”
Sun said while holding a box beside the door.
“Give me the key.”
“Huh? Yes…”
Eunyoung pulled the car keys out of her pocket and gave it to her.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Sun left the office with a smile and a box.
“… Doesn’t she look like she’s changed?”
Ari looked behind Sun and asked.
“I think so…”
Eunyoung looked at the doorway of the office while tilting her head.

Consencio’s Office.
Gyeonhui was locked in his thoughts. He sat with a firm expression, and his hands were folded.
“How dare you play with me?”
He had never wholly forgotten what happened last night.
The veterinary clinic, where he went dragging his injured ankle, was firmly closed. Besides, he searched for her to find out what had happened. However, Ojae confirmed that she had already arrived at the house.
He couldn’t suppress his anger, so he couldn’t sleep at all last night.
Then, with the sound of a knock, a female employee entered.
“Mr. Woo. Miss Cheonsun has arrived. ”
“Okay.”
After receiving the employee’s report, he woke up with a lot of energy in his eyes. As he was about to leave the office, Ojae suddenly jumped into the office hurriedly.
“Gyeonhui! Big news here!”
“Talk to me later. Revenge is at hand now.”
He tried to get past Ojae.
“I’ve found him. The CEO of DNBM.”
Gyeonhui stopped at Ojae’s urgent answer.
“… What?”
“London. Somebody has seen him in London.”
“Are you sure?”
“For now. Would it be better to go and check it out?”
Hearing Ojae, Gyeonhui was lost deep in thought.
“… I’ll go.”
“What? Yourself?”
“We don’t have much time, and it’s easy for me to go and have an agreement on the terms of the acquisition.”
“Yes. I’m booking the tickets for us then.”
Ojae lifted his cell phone.
“Why is it us?”
“Huh? That’s, of course…”
“I’ll go by myself. You have to stay and watch her.”
“Oh…”
“Just send a counsel lawyer to me.”
Ojae nodded in acknowledgment.
“I’ll return after seeing her before I leave.”
Gyeonhui quickly stepped out of the office.
***
In the conference room.
As he looked inside the window, he noticed that Sun was displaying samples and products.
“Ouch…”
Her ankle was still swollen.
Sun carefully massaged her ankles while looking at Gyeonhui through the window but avoided eye contact, pretending not to see him.
She had risen again, trying to display something while pretending to be innocent.
“It’s crooked.”
He opened the door and walked in.
“… Yes.”
She reluctantly answered and re-organized the dolls.
“Hmm. It was better when you changed it. Switch to the other way.”
“Hah.”
She was furious, but she had to endure her anger.
“Do it again, the one next to you.”
“… I’ll bring some stuff.”
Sun glared at him for a moment and walked toward the parking lot.
***
“Hah…”
When she arrived at the parking lot, she struggled to remove a box from the car trunk.
“How’s it working here? Isn’t it okay?”
She could hear his voice over her shoulder.
‘Bang.’
She dropped the box that she was holding loudly. Gyeonhui looked surprised as he looked at her while scowling.
“Is this why you called me? To do this?”
“Don’t make another mistake again. I didn’t call you, I called Kids Fan.”
“… Okay. I’ve been prepared to do this.”
She lifted the box again while clenching her teeth.
“Ahaaaak!”
She felt the pain on her sprained ankle that was injured yesterday.
She thought it looked a little better after doing the compress, but it became worse because she was carrying heavy boxes. However, she could not pretend to be weak in front of him. She pretended to be casual.
“… Put it down.”
He scowled and told her.
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re ankle is injured.”
“What?”
She was amazed that he had noticed her injury when she tried to hide it from him.
“It’s no big deal.”
Sun quickly managed her expression and tried to pass him over.
“Oh!”
However, the pain was worse than she had thought, and she lost her balance and stumbled.
She almost fell to the floor, but she recovered because Gyeonhui held her firmly in his arms.
“So, it’s still no big deal?”
He pulled her arm while scowling.
“Let go of me.”
“Stay still.”
He lowered his head, and he saw her reddened and swollen ankle.
After a while, he suddenly started carrying her on his back.
“Oh my!”
She was stunned as she shouted.
“What are you doing? Let me down!”
Sun, who was conscious of other people, said urgently.
However, he ignored her words while pretending that he had not heard her.
He also had no other option since her ankle swelled more every time she took a step.
“… Why on earth are you doing this to me?” She asked, seemingly incomprehensible. “Please, be honest with me.”
He paused for a moment to answer her question while trying to calm down.
“I already said my reasons. If you’re sick, I’m sick.”
“… Liar.”
“Believing it or not is up to you.”
He stepped forward as he said.
“… Let me down.”
“No.”
“I said, let me down.”
“And I refuse.”
He had no intention of listening to her.
As he tried to step forward, she suddenly pulled out his hair.
“Ahaakkk!!”
Surprised, he stopped. He then released his grip.
“What the hell are you doing!”
He cried as he fixed his messed up hair.
“What? If I’m sick, you’re sick? That’s ridiculous.”
She shook her head and continued.
“If you’re just as sick me, then you shouldn’t be doing this. No, you can’t do this to me!”
She turned and walked away toward the conference room after picking up the box. She didn’t want to show him that she was about to burst into tears.
He looked blankly at her unexpected response.
