Chapter 98 - Thank you for showing me (1/2)

He peers at the broken woman near his feet. She has stopped crying long ago. She isn't even moving. Looking at her in this state is heart numbing. In a rage, he has done something that can't ever be changed back.

”If you want to press charges against me, do it.” He speaks to her coldly, ”I will gladly go to the prison. I don't regret doing this to you.”

He hears her chortle. She sits up and looks up at him with a dark smile. ”Thank you for showing me what kind of man you are.”

”You have turned me into this.” He clenches his fists. ”If you hadn't done...”

”If I had been a little sane, I wouldn't have come to keep my promise to you.” She stares down at her hands with her empty eyes. ”I promise you this. No matter what happens in the future, whether you die or live, whether you beg me on your knees, whether you cry for me to come back, whether you remember or not, I will never ever forgive you for doing this to me, Kang Si An. You won't be able to see me ever again even in the afterlife.”

Kang Si An lets out a laugh. ”Why would I want to see a person like you?”

She doesn't answer him. Kang Si An feels heavy in his ċhėst. What has he done to a woman? When did he become this kind of man who would hurt a woman? It's hard to look at her. She reminds him of his monstrous side. It's difficult to breathe. He leaves her house quickly.

After taking a shower, he decides to go to Ki Mi Ran. He glances at the closed door of her apartment. He wonders if he should check on her. He has hurt her. She hurt his Ki Mi Ran. Pained, he leaves the corridor.

'You will regret doing this to me.'

Yes, he is already regretting. He won't ever tell her that. What happened to him back then? How would he fix it with Ki Mi Ran? She's hurt because of him.

”Mi Ran, you already had an abortion. Then, why did you lie to him?” He hears her friend asking her.

”That girl was acting all high and mighty. I had to teach a lesson to her.” Ki Mi Ran says, ”If I told him that I wanted to abort the child, my image would have been ruined. Tell me, how could I marry him at this age? We are so young. This is an important time in our careers. Marrying him and having a child would destroy my life. He should have the decency to understand this right.”

”If you don't want to marry him, you should break up with him.”

”Dating him is advantageous to my career. It's only natural that he is by my side when all the women in the nation want him. I will dump him when he is no longer useful.”

Kang Si An could hear a pitiful voice in his head. 'Please believe me once. I beg you. Don't do this to me. It hurts. Kang Si An, please.'
