Chapter 16 - Begging me to date him (2/2)
Her father and brother sigh loudly. Her mother looks sad. Kang Si An can't understand anything about this family. They look like they are deeply upset because he is her boyfriend.
”...” This girl and her family are crushing his pride mercilessly. Is he not good looking and famous enough?
”Can you give us a moment to talk?” Her father asks him solemnly.
He purses his lips. He doesn't trust this family, but he can't say no either. ”I will wait outside.”
Kang Si An walks out. The door is closed. He doesn't give up. He glues his ear on the door and tries to listen to their conversation.

”Speak.” My father commands me in a low voice. My brother shakes his head at me. My mother gives me a small nod.
”You told me not to give you spoilers about the future.” I grin at them. I don't want them to worry about me. My father won't take it easy since my aunt also disappeared a long time ago. If death comes, I will accept it. At least, I won't disappear. They will have closure if I am unable to change my future.
”I told you not to mess with the time.” My father glares at me.
”I am not trying to.” I scratch my head. ”I can't ignore it either. I sort of... ended up... in this.”
I would have never expected that Kang Si An would come to me before I go to him. It feels like fate.
I know that I am screwed up.
”Since it is like this, we won't interfere,” My father tells me reluctantly. ”You can't create troubles, alright. You can't end up like your aunt. Those timekeepers will come for you if you try to change this”
It's either them or getting stabbed in the gut. My choice is obvious.
”I will be good, Dad,” I promise him. I will be good and do my best to change my future.
My brother gives me a look. That look. He knows. Anyway, I can't fool every member of my family.
”You are already old enough to know what is best for you.” My father's voice holds a deep grudge. He is still mad and afraid. There is little what he can do. He brings out a notebook from his jacket's pocket. ”I brought your aunt's notebook to give it to you.”
”My aunt notebook?” I take a notebook. Purple cover with golden flowers with words in white: Laws of Time.
”She left this to my mother before she disappeared. On the first page, she wrote a warning.” He looks slightly pale. ”I was planning to read this if you were really kidnapped.”
”Only open it if you are in a big problem,” My father says in a warning tone. ”I don't want you to disappear.”
I don't want to disappear either.
