Chapter 18 - I will make it real (1/2)
She is gone. He tries calling her, but her phone is unreachable. He can't go to her dormitory. Not knowing what to do, he calls Manager Jeong who scolds him for letting her go. Then, she calls him back saying that she will handle it.
He goes back to his apartment and prepares for his meeting with the director. He rereads the script.
He is startled when the doorbell rings suddenly. He opens the door and finds the store girl. She is wearing a black knee-length dress that hugs her body at the right curves. Her hair is neatly combed and braided. He frowns when she smiles at him.
”Why are you here?” He asks her slowly.
She stands up on her toes and pecks his lips. ”Why would a girlfriend visit her boyfriend at night?”
He steps away and wipes his lips in disgust. ”Are you bipolar? Don't just kiss me whenever you want. Our relationship is fake.”
”I will make it real, Si An.” She closes the door behind her. She stands close to him, looking at him with a sly look in her eyes. ”What do you want to have for dinner? Me or ... ?”

Oh my god! They are cutting humans like vegetables. I feel the urge to throw up. The scent of blood and screams feel too real. My legs feel weak, but I keep running. I stumble and fall on my face. I turn around to look. The battle is over. The white ground is soaked with blood. I feel sick. The soldiers are looking at me, but they don't make any attempt to capture me.
I look ahead. An armored man is standing in front of me. The sword is pointed at my throat. I am not dumb enough to make a move now. I just pray. Silently. To go back in my time.

”Thanks for the food.” She presses her palms together and bows her head. She picks up the chopsticks. He looks down at the meal, wondering if she mixed something in them. It looks delicious, but he doesn't trust her. She starts eating without any hesitation.
”Why are you here?” Kang Si An stares at her. ”Are you playing hot and cold with me? I have zero interest in you.”
”Yum!” She licks her lips. ”It was so worth it.”
”What was worth it?” Kang Si An is curious. She is trying to play him around. All of her actions are shady. Coming to his house and taking over his kitchen as if she owns it, she has some guts. Why can't he kick her out?
Whenever he tries to get close to her, she does a sneak attack. She would wink seductively or try to kiss him. Other time, she would tickle him. Tickles are his weaknesses, alright. He can't go close to this tickle monster.
