His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 47: To scare me?



Kang Si An finds her crying on the floor in the living room. "Kyuri, what's wrong?"

She sobs harder when she hears his voice. He is scared to see her like this. He scans her body. There are scratches over her faces and arms. A bad feeling comes inside his heart. "Did someone hurt you?"

She doesn't answer his questions. She doesn't stop crying either. He gives her a glass of water.

What could cut her skin like this? Did that Li Jun do something to her? He opens his mouth to ask her, but he loses his courage when he sees her eyes full of grief.

For the next few days, she would barely eat or sleep. She would burst into tears suddenly. She wouldn't let him leave. He takes days off from the work to be with her.

"Tell me what happened." He asks her patiently. "Did he do something to you?"

She looks at him and says, "I can't wander to him anymore."

He is surprised to hear that. Did they fight? That man must have left her. "Are you crying because he left?"

She wraps her arms around him. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Is it okay with you?"

That's what he wanted. Though she is miserable because of someone else, he also feels miserable to see her like this. A corner of his heart is happy when she said those words. "I won't let you wander away anymore."

"Mmm." She presses her ear against his chest and listens to his heartbeat. "You aren't allowed to die before me and leave me alone in the world."

"Alright, I will outlive you and bear the pain." He smiles at her. "You must live a long life. Else, I will punish you in the afterlife."

"I will look forward to it," She tells him weakly.

He tilts his head. Looking forward to their long lives together?

Two months later, she resumes living normally. She goes back to college after months. He is relieved to see her smiling and laughing again after a long time. She introduces him to her best friend, Yoon Mi. On each weekend, they would go out together. They occasionally visit the beach. She hates even hearing the word 'mountain'.

Things change when she finds out that she is pregnant three weeks before the end of the contract.

She asks blankly, "Why I am pregnant now?"

Kang Si An looks at her with guilt. Though he purposely did it to keep her tied to him, he is still surprised to hear the news. "Do you not want it?"

"It's not the right time." She looks down at her feet. "I didn't get pregnant when I was with Li Jun. It feels like a cruel joke."

Still, she's remembering that man.

"Kyuri, let's get married." He bends down on his knees and holds her hands. "After the movie is released..."

He looks at her belly. "We can register our marriage tomorrow and have a wedding ceremony after the movie is released. What do you think?"

She smiles at him sadly. "Let's get married after the movie is released. There are only three weeks. Concentrate on the promotion. It's an important time for you."

He gives her a hug. She doesn't seem happy. She has agreed to marry him. Will a part of her always belong to that man?

A few days later, she suddenly tells him, "Si An, my aunt told me that I could change things if I touch the person from the past. The opportunity was right in front of me. I wanted to do it. I don't know whether I could change the past or not if I did that. I felt miserable and hopeless when I saw that person asking me to change the future. I should have taken that opportunity at that time. The price was too high. If I had taken that chance, I wouldn't be able to live knowing what I gave up."

Kang Si An hasn't met her aunt yet. He doesn't understand her words either. Then, she doesn't want him to understand either.

"Do you love me?" He asks her. "If you don't, I won't blame you if you want to leave me."

Her raw emotions in her eyes give him the answer. Corners of his lips curl up. "Then, you have to be with me for the rest of your life."

***

We are standing in the same cave where Li Jun died.

"Crossroads are the moments that can change the entire flow of time. If she had touched you that day in the alley, she would have lost the fetus and received a chance to change everything." The timekeeper tells me, "Because she didn't choose to, she lived for a longer time. However, she made a blind bet on another crossroad. If you used your second ability and see the memories, you could change things."

"Why did you show me all this?" I ask him.

"Kang Si An is chosen to remove you from the world because of your connection with him." He puts his hands behind his back and sighs, "Because of his love for you, he and I cannot become one. He will never be able to erase you consciously. That's a pain. He resists me a lot unconsciously. The current you have become a dangerous anomaly. You know when and where you will travel in time. You know what not to do and how to change the future. We can't attract your aunt back to her correct time to remove her cleanly using you either. In the end, Kang Si An will also resist me more. What should I do?"

I look at the monster plant. It's bigger and thicker. The piles of bones are also bigger. I can't distinguish Li Jun's bones from the piles of bones. The flower is about to bloom.

"My aunt would have arrived when she regained her ability to change my future. The purple notebook was a trap for her to go to her correct time. When she was back, the timekeepers would have caught her." I let out a laugh. "It was all to catch her before she created a bigger change. The time travelers can only be erased in their correct time to avoid more anomalies."

"Correct!" He takes long strides toward the plant. "Do you know why I threw the keeper's dagger to you when we first met?"

"To scare me?" I know that it's the wrong answer. I say that anyway.

"I don't know what he sees in you." He wrinkles his nose and shakes his head in disgust. "A dumb person like you cannot survive for long."
