Chapter 49 - I will find you (1/2)

”Here.” He gives me a passport and a ticket at the airport.

”Kang Si An, you are so capable.” I giggle when I see the name and information. My name and information are the same, but it's still fake. In this timeline, I am dead. The present is the best time to take action. I still have five days until I go back to my correct time. That timekeeper is right. When I go back, I can't be sure that all of my actions will follow the same path. In this timeline, the timekeeper can't kill me. He won't waste any of the 100 minutes here. When I woke up, I asked Kang Si An to help me go to the C country. He didn't ask me many questions. He must have figured that I need to go there.

”You are able to get this so fast. How much did you spend on this?”

”Pay me back by not dying in the past.” He tilts his head down. ”By the way, why can't I come with you?”

”Your face will attract attention.”

”I will wear a disguise.” He looks at me with puppy eyes. ”Take me with you.”

”Kang Si An, do you want me to change the future or not?” I ask him sternly.

”You know the answer.” He grumbles.

”You told me to do anything to change it.” I sigh and put down the fake documents. ”I don't know whether I will succeed or not. If I succeed, you might never meet me and the past might change. You might never fall in love with me again. Is it worth it if I have to lose you?”

Kang Si An eyes me solemnly. ”Don't think about me. You and I are inevitable to happen.”

I grin at him. ”You are so sure.”

He smiles at me. ”Even if we don't meet like the way we did, you are already in love with me. Can you leave me be?”

He knows me so well. ”Kang Si An, you know that I love you.”

”I know.” He cups my face and kisses me. ”Don't abandon me after changing the past, alright? I won't forgive you if you do that.”

I don't want to leave this person. A small part of me wants to go back and do everything the way it happened. But, I can't. I won't let Li Jun die like that. I won't leave Kang Si An alone to live alone like this.

”I will find you,” I promise him. ”I will make you fall in love with me again.”

I arrive at the modern c country at next morning. In the next four days, I have to find that cave again. After another six hours of travel, I arrive at the goddamn mountains. It's a famous tourist spot now. It makes my life both easy and hard.

It took 8 months to travel through the forest and climb that mountain. Li Jun only had half of the map and we lost ways many times before we found the place. Now, it takes less than 10 hours to get here from the airport.

It's already dark when I reach the station. I stay at the local inn for the night. I remember the map from Kang Si An's memory and compare it with the modern map. I pinpoint the location of the cave to a certain area. Are four days enough to find it? It doesn't hurt to try.
