Chapter 147 - The sooner it is, the better it is (1/2)
He blinks, unable to say a word.
She purses her lips nervously, pressed under his weight.
”Ahem!” She clears her throat first. ”Can you move away first?”
”No.” He shakes his head. ”Clear things with me first.”
”Clear what?” She glares at him. ”I said that to Keeper because he was -”
”He can still hear you though.” He chuckles.
She coughs, uneasy. This is crap. ”I prefer the previous arrangement. Why can you see his memories too?”
”I very much prefer this. If I didn't see it, I would have never known it.” He moves his face closer to her. Their noses are almost touching, breaths entwined. Her blushing face and stubborn look in her eyes are tingling up his heart. It's been a long time since he saw her like this.
”Kwon Kyuri, do you want to be with me?”
”Aren't we already together?” She looks away from him. ”You eat here. You take baths here. You even sleep here now. We are almost together 24 hours a day.”
”You know what I mean.” He grips her chin and makes her look at him. ”If we survive, will you marry me again?”
”When did I marry Kang Si An? I married Li Jun.” She feels her face burning under his face. ”Can't you do anything properly, Kang Si An? You have starred in so many romantic romcoms. How come you can't even propose? I can forgive Li Jun because his era was different. But you are quite experienced, aren't you?”
”I will consult with Litte Hae first.” Kyuri knows that she can't back away anymore. The milk has been spilled, thanks to the Keeper. ”If she says yes, we will see.”
”She will say yes for sure.” Kang Si An brushes his lips against her cheek teasingly. Kyuri feels a surge of heat flowing through her veins.
She looks at him fiercely. ”Don't do that...”
He nudges her nose with his. ”I didn't do anything yet.”
”You kissed my cheek.”
”You should be glad that I am not attacking your lips right now.” He lets out a laugh. He wants to hold himself back. There's this situation with the keeper.
”Hmph!” She scoffs. ”As if I would let you attack me.”
Kang Si An didn't think that this moment would ever be a reality. It still feels like a dream. He got a second chance to be with her. Despite everything, she still loves him.
He tells her seriously, ”Kyuri, I will never ever give you the reason to hate me again.”
Kang Si An's phone rings. He can tell that it's from Do Sejin. He moves away from Kyuri and picks up the call.
[When are you going forward with your plans?]
”Tonight when Ahn Hana's asleep,” Kang Si An replies and wonders what happened to Do Sejin. He sounds angry and hurt at the same time.
[Meet me at 1 AM in front of my house.]
The call is hanged up.
”What happened?” Kyuri sits up and asks.
