Chapter 140 - Why do you care that I care? (1/2)
”Traveler?”
She blankly looks at him. Her startled face is cute. He has been missing seeing it in his world. At first, he thought that he was only affected by Kang Si An's strong feelings for this traveler. This traveler's love for this man shook him. As a special entity, he's not supposed to get moved by human emotions
He doesn't know when this cunning traveler managed to trap him.
He couldn't kill her in the end after seeing her suffer for so long. He couldn't resist kissing her before leaving this body. It was another battle in another world after he left.
He doesn't regret it. He gave her a chance to live a life where she could be happy with the man she loved. But the great deity had another plan for her.
”Don't kiss me.” She pokes his ċhėst stiffly. ”I don't want to be kissed against my wishes again.”
He curls his fingers around her finger. ”Did you miss me?”
He missed her a lot.
”I didn't.” She moves away from him and slips his finger out of his grasp. She walks backward, keeping a safe distance between them. ”Why are you back? Keeper, you don't bring me the good news.”
He sighs. He might have harassed her a lot. But that was his job. ”I am here because you made a mistake.”
He's glad that she did. That's why he could come back. From birth to death, he's responsible for her and the problems that she causes.
”What mistake?” She wrinkles her brows. ”I didn't make any mistake.”
”Are you sure?” He raises his brow. It's funny how idiotic this traveler is. Despite everything that she had been through, she still manages to make mistakes.
”I am not...” She looks away, seemingly unsure. ”What did I do this time?”
He chuckles. ”You misused your powers on Park Jae Kyung.”
”Hey!” She looks at him indignantly. ”What was I supposed to do? You must be okay if someone [email protected] you. I am not. It was self-defense. SELF.DEFENSE. I want a lawyer.”
This is going to take some time. He sits on the chair. His hand is already healed. This time, they allowed him to use some powers because of the task. ”Kwon Kyuri, was it self defense? Did you really fight the way a human female would in that situation? If you used it as a last option, I wouldn't be here. You were arrogant. You used it on Kang Si An. We ignored it because of the special relationship between you two. You fixed your mistake. That got you a point. You told about your powers to an unrelated human. That got you a minus point. As a time-traveler and someone with powers, you can never ever reveal it to an ordinary human. When you used it on Park Jae Kyung, you wanted to kill him. It wasn't self-defense. The intention is an important factor.”
She opens her mouth, but no words come out. She can't refute.
”Young Hwa was family. I was married to him.” She argues.
”You were never meant to marry him. You were a means to keep him from killing himself until Yeon Seo could return to him.” The keeper stares at her calmly. ”In the original timeline, Yeon Seo and Young Hwa got married at 27. Then, you changed the time. A lot of lives were affected in a similar way. It is a big mess that we are still dealing with it.”
He lets out an exasperated sigh. That's why time-travelers are hated by the higher-ups.
