Chapter 69 - So, you are disqualified (2/2)
”Not just the coin.” She looks away with a distant look in her eyes.
Li Jun makes a guess. ”So, you aren't from hell. You are just from the future.”
She just shrugs her shoulders. ”I am still a cursed witch.”
”Cursed witch from the future?” He asks her again to confirm. This seems more plausible than the story that she's from hell.
She climbs off the bed and stands in front of him with puffed up ċhėst and a slight smile on her face. ”Li Jun, you are curious about me a lot.”
Though she's small and weak compared to him, she is daunting. When he saw her for the first time, she threatened to kill his mother while confronting his father. When he saw her for the second time, she was trying to scare him as a witch who ate human hearts. When he saw her for the third time, she acted like she didn't know him.
Li Jun realizes that she's just a girl who acts on her impulse most of the time. There is a deep connection between them. Moreover, she knows him well. She knows how to pique his curiosity and tease him. He feels strange whenever she is around.
Looking into those mischievous eyes that promise nothing good, he feels a strange spell sneaking through his heart.
Even if the heart forgets, the soul remembers.
Before he could realize what kind of flower is blooming from the seed that came out of nowhere, his thoughts get interrupted.
”Traveler.” The timekeeper looks at her with irritation. ”Do you not learn your lesson? What kind of fool are you?”
”What did I do this time?” Kyuri crosses her arms and steps back with the same expression. ”I thought that you were stingy when it comes to spending your minutes?”
The timekeeper glowers at her. ”Leave Li Jun.”
She raises her brow. ”You seem fine yesterday. Why ask me to leave today?”
”If he falls in love with you again, it will be a disaster.”
The timekeeper is tired. Things are too complicated since she has turned her body into a time prison. If Li Jun has fallen for her once, he will fall for her again. But, the love that will start with Li Jun and end with Kang Si An will cause conflicts again. If things repeat again, he will forever be trapped with this man's soul and this traveler.
