Chapter 146 - Hes my home (1/2)

Kang Si An returns after dropping Little Hae at the school. He goes to Kyuri's room and knocks on the door. After 5 minutes of continuous knocking. she drags herself to the door and opens it.

Before she can kill him for waking up, the Keeper speaks, ”Traveler, is it time to sleep?”

Kyuri doesn't react at first. Then, she wrinkles her nose. ”If it's not, then when is it? After my existence is wiped out?”

Sleep is her priority during these times. The keeper glares at her. ”When are you going to do it?”

”Do what?” Kyuri closes her eyes. She doesn't know why she's so sleepy today. Perhaps, it's better to sleep than stress over her problems.

”Ahn Hana.” Keeper sits on the bed beside her. He's aware of the words that she said to Kang Si An. He has always known that this traveler will always choose Kang Si An no matter what. ”Remember this is a test. If you fail, you won't have a second chance.”

”None of us will.” She rubs her eyes. ”I am waiting for Do Sejin's call. I will do it after Ahn Hana falls asleep. I also need to be closer to her when I do it.”

Though she's speaking casually, the timekeeper can tell that she's afraid. She's pretending to be brave. There's a difference between being fearless and being brave. One can be brave only if they have fear in their heart.

”I will accompany you,” Timekeeper tells her quietly after some time. ”You won't be alone.”

”Are you going to help me?” She asks enthusiastically.

He chuckles lowly. ”I cannot help you directly. It will be you who will take care of him.”

”Don't worry. You will be invisible to those beings until you meet Hong Yi Hwan.” The timekeeper looks at her coolly. ”This is akin to delicate surgery. Ahn Hana is fragile and Hong Yi Hwan is strong. It's already been years. They will struggle. You are going to use your abilities to save someone instead of killing them. So...”

”I will do my best.” She lies down on the bed and covers herself with the blanket. The pressure is killing her. Saving someone is harder than killing them.

The timekeeper glances at the bundle beside him. After some thoughts, a smirk appears on his lips. He lies down beside her and wraps his arms around the bundle, hugging her like she's a teddy bear.

”What are you doing?” Her face peeks out. ”Don't use Kang Si An's body like this.”

”You told him that you don't care if I kiss you since it's his body.” He intends to teach her a lesson for being a player. ”Traveler, you don't mind if it's me or him, hmm?”
