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

Chapter 88: Kyuri, you are awake

I am standing in front of my dorm and looking at my watch. I am back at the beginning. Everything started from this moment. So many things have changed. Both of them are unaware of what lies in the future.

At 1:40 PM, my past self will return from the future after absorbing the time crystal. At 1:43 PM, she will touch my past self who hasn't met Kang Si An yet or seen the moment when the timekeeper killed me in the original timeline. At 1:50 PM, she will leave the present moment and go to the night of the assassination.

At exactly 1:50 PM, my heart starts beating again. My prison is broken. The time crystal is ticking inside my body. From this moment on, I am also unaware of the future. My time has restarted.

Suddenly, I am too physically to move. I sit down on the concrete as my vision starts to darken. I clutch my stomach My stomach is hurting because of tremendous hunger. I should have eaten a lot before I came here - or not. It's not a bad idea to die before the timekeeper finds me.

'You promised.' I hear someone's voice in my mind. Is it Li Jun or Kang Si An? I am probably hallucinating. I can't tell who it is.

'Don't abandon me after changing the past, alright? I won't forgive you if you do that.'

'i will find you. I will make you fall in love with me again.'

An old memory surfaces in my mind, making me remember the promise that I made a long time ago - the moment I met 30 years old Kang Si An before I went to look for the time crystal and changed everything.

I close my eyes. "Even after everything, you are asking me to find you?"

I am sorry. I don't want to find you. You better die without knowing that I ever existed. Your life shouldn't be miserable because of me. At least, one of us should have a happy ending. Isn't it unfair to ask me to find you after everything that happened?

You didn't have a choice. You always found me because we have a strange fate. But, you could have died without seeing me at the last moment. You have died in front of me so many times. You stuck around miserably until I was forced to come and see you so many times. Each time, I had to be the one to wait.

I didn't keep any promise so far. If I don't keep one more, would I go to hell? I have been through hell. It can't scare me anymore.

It's only fair that I also die. But, I am not cruel like you are. I will not stick around until you find me. I will say goodbye now. I won't meet you, Kang Si An. I don't have the strength anymore.

"Kyuri." Someone is shaking body. "What happened to you?"

I don't remember what happened after that. After a long time, I can fall asleep.

Someone's holding my hand. I slowly open my eyes and see a familiar face. I know this person.

"Mother."

My mother widens her eyes in shock. Her eyes are swollen and red. She seems like she has aged a lot. "Kyuri, you are awake."

I put my hand on my chest. My heart along with the time crystal is still beating. I am still alive. The scent of disinfectant fills my nose. This room is not my room. Why haven't the timekeeper found me yet? He should have known where I have been.

"Kyuri, do you recognize me?" My mother is saying something, but I am too confused to understand. My father enters the room. His appearance is haggard and disheveled. Behind him, I see my annoying brother who is looking at me with tears in his eyes. A doctor rushes to my side and asks me my name.

"Kyuri"

"Kyuri"

I fall asleep again.

Five months ago, Kwon Kyuri passed out in front of her dorm. Her friend, Yoon Mi, found her. Her physical state was really bad. She was extremely malnourished. It surprised Yoon Mi because Kyuri looked normal only half an hour ago.

She was brought to the hospital. Her family was informed. They couldn't understand how something like this could happen to her. They had a video call with her a few nights before. She looked normal in that call. How could she turn into this state in a few nights? She wasn't the type to go on an extreme diet. Even if she did go on a diet, she wouldn't go this far.

That was not the only case. It seemed as if her body was extremely exhausted. The doctors had to do everything it took to keep her alive on machines. In the last four months, she showed no sign of waking up.

A week before she woke up, Kang Si An got admitted to the same hospital because of a minor accident. He was in the VVIP room. He didn't know this person. However, he came to see her at night in the hospital gown when her brother was out for a moment.

That night, the timekeeper stared at the girl who had been giving him a headache for a long time. He had the dagger in his pocket. He knew that he couldn't kill her now even if he wanted to. There were several cameras around. Killing her now would ruin Kang Si An's life.

Foolish woman! She ate the last meal with Lu Wuxie. After that time, she wouldn't eat because she didn't need to. Her body was alive because of the time crystal. When her time restarted again, her bodily function began again. The miserable and tortured body state couldn't function at the bare minimum. Her soul was also extremely exhausted.

It was a miracle that she was still alive. It's also her good luck that her friend found her and sent her to the hospital right away. She's also lucky to have a family who would do anything to save her.

The girl would not wake up until her soul and body recovered from the exhaustion. The exhaustion that her soul received from living for more than a thousand years wouldn't be cured in a few months. At this rate, she wouldn't ever wake up.

He didn't have that much time. She needed to die by his hands before her day of her death in the original timeline. The timekeeper opened her mouth and put a seed shaped pill inside. This pill would help her recover faster.

The timekeeper was also tired. He wanted to finish her soon.
