Chapter 12 - Date who? (1/2)
Manager Jeong looks angry, but I know that she is happy because I changed my mind. Kang Si An looks like he wants to kill me on the spot. At this moment, I can count more than a hundred reasons why he would kill me in the future. If I hang out with him more, he will have gazillions of reasons after six months. I have to disappear. How about I take a break from my college and go on a world tour? My bank balance is low. I can take a loan from my brother.
Maybe I should go to the military to serve my country.
No, living in the same country is a bad choice. I should go somewhere he would never come.
How about I make an underground hiding place? Should I go to the mountains? I need peace. Should I go to the monastery? Should I learn the martial art or hire bodyguards?
What should I do? How do I outsmart time and fate itself?
”Miss Kwon, I guess that you have changed your mind again.” She appears too calm. ”Can you tell me why?”
”I won't go to the cops.” She can bȧrėly hide her excitement when she hears my words. ”I don't want to attract attention. I don't want to see him again. Let's just...part ways and never see each other again.”
”After everything that you did?” Kang Si An cracks his knuckles. ”You want to run away?”
”Miss Kwon, I understand your feelings.” She rubs her hands. ”But, we can't trust you.”
”It's your problem.” I stand up, ready to leave this place and plan my disappearance. ”Not mine.”
”Wait.” She comes to my side. ”We can trust you legally.”
I understand the meaning of her words. ”Sure. Anything that makes you feel at ease.”
”What are you doing, Manager Jeong?” Kang Si An eyes her disapprovingly. He is an idiot, isn't he? How could someone like him kill me? How could someone like me get murdered like him? The world is full of puzzles.
”Come with me.” She grabs his arm and drags him along with her. She closes the door behind them.

”Manager Jeong?” Kang Si An doesn't understand the reason behind her behavior.
”Idiot.” She flicks his forehead. ”She changed her mind. Isn't that good for you?”
”Do you believe her?” He snorts. ”She is fickle and manipulating. She fooled us before going to the station. She completely changed at the station. Someone like her isn't trustworthy.”
