Chapter 131 - Perhaps, you are not human (1/2)
Love can't be forced.
Kyuri starts chopping the vegetables with a lot on her mind. Her mind is definitely not on the cooking. Yet, the knife moves smoothly as if the knife is a part of her body.
Young Hwa was afraid of her when she said that Jae Kyung was not the first man she killed.
She skins the chicken with a straight face. Her mother is watching from the distance. Why is her kitchen taken over by her daughter? Her daughter is not acting normally after the wedding was canceled again. This time, Young Hwa's cousin died suddenly. It's unlucky to go along with a wedding in these circumstances. Why do bad things keep happening to her daughter?
It's true that she killed people in the last thousand years. It was self-defense. She killed those guards that Wu Yixing sent after her and her aunt. She used her ability on the timekeeper boy she met at the stable.
The chicken pieces become thinner and thinner, nearly transparent. Her mother wonders what kind of dish her daughter plans to make. Kyuri's brother and father are watching cartoons with Little Hae, unaware of what is waiting for them at the dinner time.
After work, it is Kang Si An's habit to come and see his daughter once before he goes home. Little Hae is laughing while watching the TV. He walks toward her, but Kyuri catches his attention. He wonders how she is. So, he turns his step toward her direction. He purses his lips when he sees what she has done to the poor chicken.
When he looks at Kyuri's mother questionably, she shakes her head.
”Ahem.” He clears his throat. Kyuri keeps mincing the meat with empty eyes. The vegetables aren't any better. If all is mixed, one can't tell what is what. He grabs her hand to stop her from turning things into powder. ”What's wrong with you?”
She blinks, surprised to see him. She notices the mess. ”Damn!”
”Don't worry. We will order something. It's not that late.” He takes the knife away from her. ”Wash your hands first.”
She glares at him. ”Why aren't you afraid of me?”
He furrows his brows, wondering what's this about. ”Who says that I am not afraid of you?”
She lets out a breath. ”That's better. You are human after all.”
She washes her hand and walks past him. She goes to her mother and says, ”I am sorry about the dinner. Please order something for tonight. I am going out on a walk.”
”Wait, where are you going? It's late.” Hearing her words, her father calls out for her. ”Ki Hoon, go after her.”
”I will go.” Kang Si An runs out before anyone can oppose.
”Something is just not right.” Ki Hoon squints in the direction of the door.
