Chapter 5 - If I dont exist, I cant be killed (1/2)
”Wait!” She calls out for him. ”Mr. Psychopath, you didn't take the freebies.”
”I don't want it.” He takes a glance at her. ”You can keep it.”
”It's a chocolate box.” She gives him a knowing smile. ”I bet that you are running low on sugar. Take it.”
”It's for my younger brother.” He lies through his teeth. His younger brother hates eating sweets. However, Kang Si An isn't someone who can say no to chocolates. ”My brother becomes cranky when he can't have them..”
”Sure, I believe you,” She tells him cheerfully. She doesn't believe him at all. ”I have it here.”
She bends down behind the counter to pick something up.
”Hello?” Kang Si An grimaces when she doesn't get up. He looks at the clock. It's been two minutes. He looks over and finds out that there is no one behind the counter.
”Strange.” He looks around. ”Is she allowed to leave the store like this?”
The scent of lemons hit my nose. I am no longer in the store. I slap my forehead. ”Not again.”
”Little Kyu Ri.”
It's my grandmother smiling at me. When you are a time-traveler, you have a few benefits like visiting your grandparents in the past.
”Idiot child, you are back again.”
”It's been a while, Grandmother.” I sit down at the porch. ”What year is it?”
”Hyun Sik got married last week.” She spreads the clothes on the rope.
”How lucky I am!” I give her a look. ”My parents are currently on honeymoon and making my older brother. Congratulate them on my behalf.”
”I can't do that,” She tells me solemnly. ”If I tell them that their daughter has been visiting from the future, you might cease to exist.”
”It wouldn't be a bad idea.” I can't help but feel pessimistic. ”If I don't exist, I can't be killed.”
She comes to my side and lightly slaps my cheek. ”What did I tell you?”
”Never ever reveal the future,” I tell her quietly.
”Then, don't do it.” She runs her hand on my head. ”Little Kyu Ri, learn to control your abilities.”
