Chapter 43 - Forgive me, wife (1/2)
Passionate nights. Carefree days. It feels like dreams. Li Jun has never been this happy after his family was ȧssassinated by his uncle because of the power play of court. Though his uncle was exterminated by him a long time ago before Kyuri appeared, he is still afraid that someone would come and take away her from him.
”So, it was you,” She tells him. ”That day, the boy... in the stable. I am glad that you lived.”
”How did you find out?” He traces circles on her back.
”General Yu told me once that your family... ” She pauses and looks up. ”It must have been hard growing up alone.”
”It's not as hard as living my days without you here.” He presses his palm against her back. He likes feeling her heartbeat with his palm. ”I want to be selfish and keep you with me forever.”
”I wish that I could do that.” She rolls on her back and looks at the ceiling. ”Li Jun, there will be a time when I won't be able to return to you anymore. You can't stop living. If it is possible, try to find happiness with someone else. I won't mind if it's the princess.”
”If you don't return, I know that I will be with you in my next life.” He wraps his arms around her waist. ”I will live and die happily, knowing that I will find you again.”
”You two are really the same.” She sighs loudly. ”Li Jun, let me tell you. Your next life will be better than this one. You will become a celebrity and you will be worshipped by numerous people. You will also be with numerous women before you meet me. I guess that you will make up for what you lack in this life.”
He doesn't miss the grudge in her tone.
”My reincarnation is a bad person. How could he go to other women before meeting you?” He frowns. ”He should be punished. You should abandon him and stay with me here.”
She looks at him sideways. ”He didn't bring in a concubine.”
He chuckles. ”Forgive me, wife.”
Kang Si An looks around nervously. The girl is nowhere to be seen. Her number is unreachable as always. He has even contacted her family. She is really nowhere. The director will be here soon.
He redials her number and turns around.
”Whoa!” Kang Si An yells in surprise when he sees a straight-faced Kyuri in ancient clothes standing behind him. She doesn't utter a single word and takes a seat beside him. Before he could ask anything, the director is already here with Ki Mi Ran.
”Who is this?” Ki Mi Ran points at Kyuri.
He looks at director Lee who is watching them intently. ”This is my girlfriend, Kwon Kyuri.”
Kyuri smiles at them politely. ”Nice to meet you. I heard that you are shooting a historical tragedy. I decided to wear this to show my support.”
”The movie is based on k country's history.” Ki Mi Ran snaps. ”You are wearing something different.”
”Mi Ran, the movie is adapted from the movie based on c country's historical tragedy.” Director Lee takes a seat. ”Miss Kwon, you look beautiful in that dress. You look like you have walked out of the past itself.”
”If only you knew.” Kang Si An hears her mumble. He peers at her. Those clothes suit her. Her face doesn't have any makeup. Her hair is tied in a casual ancient style. She looks pretty and different.
”I was surprised that I heard about you. Kang Si An and your story are viral.” Director Lee already likes the girl. ”Are you interested in becoming an actress? You are quite famous.”
She shakes her head. ”Too troublesome. Kang Si An should remain as the actor. I just want to be his wife.”
Kang Si An coughs and puts down the glass of water. What did she just say?
