Chapter 154 - Epilogue 3.1: Purgatory (2/2)
”Right.” He turns toward Kyuri. ”I will make them send me to the world where you will be born.”
”Take birth before me.” Kyuri stands on her toes and kisses him on his lips. ”Wait for me, okay?”
”I will.” He cups her face and kisses her deeper. Even after a long life, the passion remains the same. He still doesn't want to go. Releasing her, he scrutinizes her face to engrave it in the deepest pit of his memories. Even reincarnations shouldn't make him forget that he belongs to this woman. Only this woman. ”I, Kang Si An, Li Jun, and every other name that I will take in the future, make an oath that I will never ever love anyone else other than you, Kwon Kyuri. I will always find you first and I will make you fall for me.”
She laughs. ”I look forward to it.”
Kang Si An kisses her forehead. ”Don't hang out in hell for too long, okay?”
”I will leave as soon as I can.” She gives him a tight hug, rubbing her face on his ċhėst. ”Si An, I love you, okay? I love you a lot.”
”I love you too, my time-traveller.” He holds the back of her head gently and rests his chin on her head. ”I wish I could love you more. Even a lifetime isn't enough to give you the love that you deserve, Kyuri.”
After more than a thousand years, they only had one lifetime where they could be together.
They don't say goodbye to each other because they know that they will meet again.
Kwon Kyuri walks to the black door and turns the knob.
”What?” She turns the knob again. ”Why isn't this opening?”
Then, she finds the notice on the door.
[HELL IS IN CONSTRUCTION]
”What?” The corner of her lips twitch. ”What does that mean?”
How could hell be under construction?
A woman dressed in a black formal suit is going to each ghost and giving them a ticket. The woman has long blonde hair with rainbow highlights. As usual, her skin is chalky white and her eyes are stormy grey. The rainbow-haired woman points somewhere as she explains things to the ghosts.
”If your tickets turn black, take the grey door.” The rainbow-headed woman tells the ghosts, ”If your tickets turn white, take the white door. If your ticket is grey take the grey door.”
”Where do these doors go?” One of the ghosts asks with a frown on his face. ”
”The white one goes to heaven.” The woman seems exhausted. ”For each ghost, heaven will be different. After you have enjoyed the fruits of your good deeds, you can choose to reincarnate whenever you wish.”
The ghosts with white tickets smile.
”If you have black tickets, it means that you are supposed to go to hell.” The woman continues, ”Currently, hell is in construction. Because of that, the black door won't open. However, the grey one will take you to your next reincarnation. At the moment, we can't offer you to pay for your sins in hell. Please accept our apologies.”
”Aish!” Kwon Kyuri, who has been observing the reaper and the ghost with a scowl on her face, exclaims loudly.
The reaper notices her. She comes to Kwon Kyuri and asks, ”How can I help you, Ma'am?”
”What's your name?” Kyuri narrows her eyes on her, feeling displeased. ”I need to know who I am talking to.”
”You can call me Martha.” Martha gives her a polite smile. ”May I know your name?”
”Kwon Kyuri.” Kyuri smirks at her, ”Say, have you never heard of me?”
