Chapter 35 - Just wanted to stop the blood (1/2)

My lips are bleeding.

”You monster.” I seize him by his collar. ”How dare you.”

He suddenly leans forward and sucks the cut on her lower lip gently. A weird feeling bursts into my belly. I want to push him away and slap his face, but my body is not cooperating. His eyes are closed. His hands are on my waist. I should kick him between his legs and make him a eunuch. I should bite him back on the lips as revenge. There are so many things that I should do to him right now.

He doesn't have the scent of blood like Li Jun, but he feels the same at this moment. I don't know what I am thinking. Why I am comparing them? Whether they smell or feel the same, what does that got to do with me? Li Jun has killed people. Kang Si An will kill me. Both of them are dangerous.

He ceases his actions and reveals his green eyes. He is close enough that I can see his dilated pupils. He doesn't move away from me. I should push him away now. Why aren't my arms working? Am I paralyzed after being kissed by him like this? Is this some sort of timekeeper's trick?

”Your lips were bleeding... I am sorry... just wanted to stop the blood... ” He coughs and turns away from me. His ears are turning pink. I put my hands on my ċhėst. My heart is beating so fast that I am afraid it will break out of my body. The pleasant and yet unpleasant feeling from my belly is flooding through my blood.

He peeks at me. ”It doesn't mean anything. Don't look at me like that.”

It might not mean anything to you, but I am afraid that it is beginning to mean something to me. I do my best to pick up the pieces of my fallen brain. ”Don't do that again. If I am bleeding, you should call a doctor. Don't forget that you were the one who made me bleed.”

Kang Si An looks away, guilty. ”That's because... don't challenge me from now on. I don't know who this Li Jun is, but you can't see him until our contract is over. I don't want to have complications.”

If he only knew who this Li Jun is...

”I am going back home.” I don't want to see him. I don't want to feel uncomfortable like this. Kang Si An is bad for my life.

”Wait.” He blocks my way. ”I will take you. Your shoulder's wound isn't healed yet.”

”It's fine.” I don't look at him. It's becoming awkward between us. Where is my courage when I need it?

”You don't have the money to buy a ticket.” He reminds me again. ”Don't be stubborn. Since you are my fake girlfriend, it's only natural that I will take care of you. Manager Jeong will kill me if I am not sincere toward bearing my punishments and fixing my mistakes.”

”...” It hurts when I purse my lips together. This guy is calling me his mistake and punishment at the same time.

I reluctantly follow him. I haven't lost my self-respect or pride. I have a goal. I have to find those crystals and more information about those timekeepers. Kang Si An is the key. I have to get him to sleep.
