Chapter 100 - please come back (2/2)

At the hospital, Kang Si An runs his fingers over her handwriting. They have been looking for her. There is no news. Where she could have gone?

He wants to rip his stitches out and bleed to death. Perhaps, she will come then. She has always come to see him when he was dying in the past. He has taken her love for granted and didn't think about how she felt each time. The words from her promise reemerge in his mind.

She won't come this time.

”Kyuri... what should I do?” He holds his head. ”I am sorry... Please punish me. Torture me... But, stay where I can see you. I can't bear it. I want to see you again, Kyuri. I don't even know if you are alive or dead.”

Does he have the right to? Did he listen to her begging that night? How many times did she beg him to stop? She asked him to believe her once.

Kang Si An weeps miserably. The woman who has been with him for more than a thousand years is gone from his life. She won't come back to him. She won't allow him to see her even in the afterlife.

She knows how to hide. Despite her face becoming famous because of Kang Si An's actions, she isn't found.

'I won't be able to see her ever again.' The thought kills him every day. He wakes up with the hope that she will reappear in his life. He sleeps with the wish that she would appear in his dreams. She's cruel. Even in the dreams, she has forsaken him.

Unbeknownst to him, his miserable way of living makes him more famous. The entire country knows that Kang Si An loves a woman named Kwon Kyuri and he is asking her to return to him. Some see him as a tortured lover. Others have different opinions.

”Who is Kwon Kyuri? Why she is acting high and mighty?”

”What did he do though? I am curious why she wouldn't forgive him.”

”Look, how much he loves her. She should forgive him and come back.”

”Why isn't he in love with me? I am 10 times prettier than her.”

”He has some strange tastes. The girl doesn't even have a college degree.”

Bad or good, Kang Si An and Kwon Kyuri become popular.

Kang Si An decides to use this popularity. He works harder in his roles. He doesn't know where she is. But, he will ask for forgiveness every day. Until his death, he won't let this story disappear. Maybe, if she hear it every day, she would change her mind and come back some day.
