His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 114: One way to show you

She doesn't know how to enter the house and face my daughter.

She hated Kang Si An. She didn't want him to get close to Little Hae. She wanted him to forget because she also wanted to forget. She wanted to be freed from him. She planned to tell everything to Little Hae when she grew up. She might or might not have forgiven me. She could live with the fact that Kang Si An didn't remember us. How does she live with the fact that she has turned him into such a state?

How did this happen? She was sure that this wouldn't happen to him. Why is his body completely empty of consciousness?

Young Hwa has been watching her standing still in front of her house. He came here to tell her that his parents wanted to meet her. He didn't expect to see her grief-stricken face. What happened to her?

"Kyuri."

She turns around and sees Young Hwa standing behind her.

He asks with concern, "Did something happen?"

"Young Hwa, I have done something horrible." Her voice is low and trembling. Her eyes are swollen and red, full of guilt.

Feeling that something is wrong, he pulls her closer. She looks like she's to crumble down at any moment. He looks at her house once before ushering her into his car. He drives away to the riverside. She needs to calm down.

"Kyuri." He wipes her cheeks. "Tell me what happened."

Something wasn't right with her ever since she met Kang Si An. He wanted to ask her about the talk with Kang Si An, but there was never a good moment. She usually changed the topic whenever he tried to ask. So, he decided not to probe further.

"I did something horrible, Young Hwa." Kyuri covers her face with her hands. "I have turned Kang Si An into a living dead. I was so confident that I could do it. I should not have acted like that. I should have looked for other ways. I misused my abilities."

Young Hwa cannot understand, but Kang Si An can understand everything. He keeps telling that it's not her fault. It is his decision. But, his voice cannot reach her. He doesn't know how to tell her that it's okay. She shouldn't torture herself over like this.

"Did you hurt him?" Young Hwa doesn't want to believe that a woman like her can hurt another human.

Kyuri nods her head slowly. She can't look in his eyes. Young Hwa's heart becomes still. That's the look of someone who has committed a crime. Kang Si An's current condition is because of Kyuri.

"Tell me everything. I will fix it." Young Hwa grasps her hand and promises her. "Nobody will touch you."

Kang Si An yells at Kyuri, "Don't tell him, Kyuri. It's not your fault. Why are you making yourself a culprit?"

Kyuri doesn't know how to explain. It's not something that she can tell anyone. Young Hwa sees her hesitating and squeezes her hand assuringly. "You told me that you would give me a chance. There should be no secret between us. Tell me, Kyuri. I will never hurt you in any way."

She looks at him. Young Hwa's words have moved her a bit. She did say that she would give him a chance. No relationship can start from dishonesty. She needs to tell him everything for the sake of Little Hae. She can't wrong another person.

"Young Hwa, I will tell you."

***

"Idiot." Kang Si An feels like banging his head on the ground after hearing Kyuri's side. Though she didn't reveal the intricate details of their relationship or what happened between them three years ago, he could still see how he has hurt her over and over again.

At that time, Kyuri says to Young Hwa, "I got a second chance at life because of the timekeeper's decision. I got Little Hae. I never thought that I would need anyone else other than her to live. I was proven wrong by her when she chose you as her daddy."

This story... Young Hwa can't believe it. He thought that she hurt Kang Si An physically. But, what is this mental attack or memory removal ability? It sounds like a fantasy. He glances at her with a frown. It's hard to believe, but she looks so serious.

"Can you prove that you have those abilities?" Young Hwa asks her. "Travel in time?"

She shakes her head. "I can't do it. If I do it again, another special entity might come and try to kill me. Once was more than enough."

Young Hwa's lips purse into a thin line. Honestly, he can't believe it. He believes in science and logic.

"Then, can you show me your other abilities?"

He will give her the benefit of doubt.

"Normally, I would do something to prove myself." Kyuri understands his thoughts. If her friend Yoon Mi hadn't seen her disappearing and reappearing herself, she would have never believed that Kyuri was a time-traveler. It was the same with Kang Si An. In the original timeline, he didn't know the truth until he saw her disappearing with his eyes. "But, I am scared. I have destroyed Kang Si An's mind. What if I make the same mistake with you? I don't want to reuse it ever again."

Young Hwa sighs. This... he doesn't know what to do or think. "You shouldn't blame yourself anyway. You didn't hurt him intentionally."

There is nothing to prove that she hurt Kang Si An even if her story is true.

"And, you don't want to use your extraordinary abilities ever again. So, don't use it. Whether you suddenly turn into a real witch, I will accept everything about you."

Kyuri smiles slowly. He doesn't believe her. It's alright. She would also do the same or maybe not. She's slightly disappointed that he doesn't believe her words.

"There is one way to show you that I lived for a thousand years."
