Chapter 110 - You are an irreplaceable part of me (1/2)

Kang Si An bites his fingers. He's nervous and restless. He has taken a quick bath, combed his hair, and worn clean clothes. He has done his best to clean the house in a short amount of time. He looks into his refrigerator. There are only frozen foods and bottles of beer. He curses madly. He should have brought something. What can he cook for her? He checks if he has some coffee. He should order food that Kyuri likes. He wonders if it will be delivered on time. He should order it anyway. In case, she decides to go out, where he should take her? He checks the list of restaurants.

The doorbell rings. He jumps and drops his phone. He doesn't look at the broken screen of his phone. He runs to the door and opens it. He is dazed when he sees her. She is wearing the same clothes that she wore yesterday. Her face is slightly pale. There is no smile on her face.

He lifts his hand to reach out to her, but his hand stops midway. Her yesterday's words echo in his head.

”Aren't you going to ask me to come inside?” She asks him coolly.

”I am sorry.” He steps aside to make way. When she enters the room, he closes the door. He wipes his sweaty hands. ”Please, sit.”

When did they become so formal? His heart tightens at the thought. Things can never be the same again between them. It's been broken by him.

She doesn't take a seat. He notices that her hands are shaking a bit. She's afraid of him.

”Kyuri, I...” He sits down on his knees in front of her. ”I am sorry for what I did to you that night. If you want to punish me, please punish me in other ways. Send me to prison. Ask me to become a eunuch. Throw me to the wolves. But, don't hide her away from me. Please stay where I can see you and her. If you love someone else, I won't bother you. Just... stay where I can see you both.”

”I am bothered every time I see you.” Her voice is monotonous. Her eyes are empty of any emotion. ”How can I accept your request?”

Kang Si An kowtows to her desperately. His forehead hits the concrete and starts bleeding. ”I will do anything to get your forgiveness. Just don't disappear again.”

Kyuri isn't moved. She didn't know where her coldness came from. She bends down on her one knee and places her palm on the floor. He stops when his head hits her hand. He looks up at her helplessly, hoping and not hoping. Does she still care about him?

”Kang Si An, I will free you from your misery.” Kyuri smiles at him softly. He stares into her eyes. His heart dares to hope. Will she forgive him?
