Chapter 97 - Please believe me once (1/2)

”Si An...” Ki Mi Ran's breathless whisper is loud in my ear. ”Faster... please.”

I hear him groan before he fulfills his demands. I pour the wine in the glass. I need to drink.

My senses are stronger because of the time crystal. My hearing and smelling power are also stronger. But, I don't know why I still don't have much physical power. If I had, I would like to tear the wall and kill them both. That would probably end wrongly for me. My family would also suffer.

He doesn't remember. He doesn't know. Whatever supernatural connection we had, it's gone with the timekeeper. So, it's not his fault that he can't recognize me. He will probably never remember me.

I am desperate. Li Jun remembered his other life before he died. That is the reason behind the tiny hope in my ċhėst. I want him to remember me even if it is impossible. We have promised each other so many times. I can't... I don't know what will happen in the future. It's making me crazy.

Hearing those sounds is torturous.

The wine bottle is finished. I pick another one from the refrigerator. I want my brain to become numb. I can't endure this with a sane mind. I don't know how not to hate him for this. I don't know how to leave either.

He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know.

I keep telling myself until I fell asleep.

The doorbell wakes me up in the morning. I grunt because of the sharp pain in my head. The hangover. The person doesn't stop ringing the doorbell. It's too loud. I force myself to get out of the bed and open the door.

”Ki Mi Ran.” The first person I see in the morning is her. I don't know how my day will go now. ”Why are you here?”

”Junior Kwon, Kang Si An already left for the suit. I was curious why haven't you left.” She smiles gently at me and steps inside like she owns the place. Her voice is full of concerned when she notices my face. ”You don't look too good. How much did drink last night? It's not good for your skin.”

”Stop pretending,” I tell her bitterly. ”I already know what kind of person you are.”

She frowns. ”According to you, what kind of person I am?”

”The kind of person who would drug someone else's drink to ruin that person reputation.” I have looked into her in my free time. She has used similar tricks to remove her competition. However, nobody, including the victim, would ever doubt her because of her false personality. ”So, stop being friendly to me. I already know how two-faced you are.”

”How do you know?” She bites her lips in anger and fists her hands. To show up like this at my door just after meeting me last night, she must be quite possessive of Kang Si An. I don't know whether she loves him or not.

”Does it matter how I know?” I ċȯċk my head.

Her perfect face contorts into an ugly form. I wonder how the nation would react if they see her right now. She scrutinizes my face before she pulls her hair to the side, revealing the hickeys on her pale neck.

”Did you cry?” She laughs. ”Don't tell me that you could hear us from your apartment?”

”Leave him.” I cross my arm. ”I can't leave that man in the care of a woman like you.”

I have a bitter taste in my mouth. I can't believe that I am playing the role of a woman who is asking the girlfriend to break up. I feel dirty.

My phone is ringing. Ki Mi Ran says nothing and leaves. I don't think that she's that obedient. I take the call. I am late for the shoot. I get ready in 5 minutes and leave. When I reach there, I don't see Kang Si An. A staff informs me that the shoot is canceled. Kang Si An left because of personal reasons.
