Chapter 122 - Its ?ust at first sight (2/2)
”After hearing your story, I couldn't believe you. A part of me trusted reason. Another part of me didn't want to accept that you have been in so much pain. Despite everything that happened to you, you still survived that darkness without anyone's help and you are still standing strong. Do you know how much I admire you? You and Little Hae don't need me. I need you both. I am sure that I want to be with you and her. I want to become part of your life.”
They stare at each other in silence after he finishes talking. He removes his palm and rubs away the mistiness from his eyes. He waits for her to say something. Kyuri slaps her ċhėst a few times to calm her rapidly beating heart. She's touched. After Li Jun, she's touched by words for the first time in the thousand years.
She clears her throat. ”Sorry for misunderstanding you.”
”Apology accepted.” He puts his hands in his pockets, looking smug. ”Did your heart move a bit?”
”Maybe.” She doesn't want to admit yet. She doesn't meet his eyes.
He chuckles. She can't hide emotions right now. ”Then, is it okay to pre-pone the wedding?”
”It's already 9 days after a few hours.” She shakes her head slowly. ”A rushed wedding won't be good. It's also Little Hae's first time seeing a wedding... So...”
”I understand, my wife.” He lifts her in his arms. ”It's time to exercise husband privileges before my father in law and brother in law come back.”
”Young Hwa...” Kyuri tries to protest. ”We are still at my parents' home.”
”Keep your voice low.” Young Hwa is already taking him to her bedroom. ”Little Hae is sleeping.”
Kang Si An hears the voices become fainter as they move away from the door. He agrees with each word of Young Hwa. Kyuri is special. She's the only one in this world who can still stand strong after what happened to her. He wishes that he had the power to change the past as Kyuri did. He would have made every wrong turn into right. It's too late regret for the things he could control over and the things he couldn't control.
