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

Chapter 9: Who is Satan?

"Accept?" I don't believe her. This woman is smart. She is already thinking of some way. I am sure that she will think of different plans to make me disappear.

"Manager Jeong, are you sacrificing me to the satan?" Kang Si An becomes white as paper. "I have to date this thing?"

"Hey!" I crack my knuckles. "Who is Satan?"

"Si An, it's your fault." Manager Jeong grimaces at him. "Now, take responsibility for your wrong actions."

Or your future wrong actions. The car stops at the red light. I see my hand disappearing. Again. Manager Jeong and Kang Si An are arguing. I kick the car door open. Before they can turn and look at me, I have already disappeared.

I have to lie again when I come back.

Kang Si An suddenly hears a loud noise. In the corner of his eyes, he sees her glowing. When he turns around, the car door is open. There is no one on the seat. Manager Jeong cusses out loud and gets out of the car to look for the store girl. Kang Si An blinks his eyes several times. Did he really see someone disappear?

That's not possible. People can't disappear out of thin air. She must have run away.

It's good if she has run away.

"We have to find her." Manager Jeong throws her purse at him in frustration. "Don't be relieved. If she decides to go to the cops, you are done."

"We can just say that she is lying." He mutters under his breath.

"Do you think that the cops would believe you? If you hadn't picked her up and brought her to your home, it wouldn't be a problem. You should have taken her to the hospital." Manager Jeong takes a deep breath. "Let's find her first."

Kang Si An frowns deeply. He can't stop thinking about it. This store girl is weird. Before she manifested out of the air, then she disappeared into the air. Is she a magician?

Something is wrong with his eyes. He should get them checked first.

The sky is grey and it's snowing. I don't even have shoes. I start walking toward the station. I can sense people's stares. I lower my head to cover my face with my hair. I don't know how long I will spend here. Luckily, I still have my wallet in my pocket. I go into the store. I don't plan to die on the street because of the cold. The store girl looks at me strangely when I pay for the coat and the shoes. I guess I look completely out of place. I leave the store and start walking toward the hotel. I should check into a hotel and wait it out.

I stop in front of the newspaper stall. My picture is printed on the front page in the national paper. The date is 2x October 20xx.

'Actor Kang Si An refuses to come out of his house after the death of his fiancee.'

What is this? Who is the fiancee?

'Kwon Kyu Ri, a student from S University, was found murdered on x street. The murderer is yet to be found.'

'Actor Kang Si An is grieving his pregnant fiancee's death.'

Pregnant? No. Nope. This is so not me. I won't get pregnant with his child. Not happening. Nope. I refuse to accept this. This is worse than being killed.

Who is grieving whose death? He is the one who killed me.

I throw away the newspaper in frustration. Argh! Kang Si An. I don't understand any of this. If my future self was pregnant with your child, why did you stab my future self? Is it because she got pregnant with your child? That won't happen anyway.

Was it the wrong decision to bring up the condition to date? It seems like it is. I should change it. Knowing the enemy isn't working. Running away might work.

"Kwon Kyu Ri?"

The man looks like he has seen a ghost. I don't know him at all. This isn't good. I should have brought a scarf to hide my face. I should run. I should lie.

"Who?" I step back when he comes toward me. I ask honestly, "Do you know me?"

"You are not dead?" He grabs my arm. "I saw your corpse. You were dead."

"No." I jerk his arm off. "I am not Kwon Kyu Ri."

"Did you fake your death?" He screams at me, attracting the stares of people. "How can you do that to Si An?"

"This is a misunderstanding." A ring of a crowd as formed around us. I cuss at this guy. I have not met him in the past yet. But, I will make sure that I beat the crap out of him when I meet him. "I am not Kwon Kyu Ri."

"Is that so?" He looks at the wallet in my hand. I resist when he takes it away from my hand. When he is busy looking for my ID card, I dash away from him.

"Kwon Kyu Ri," He yells my name. "Stop that woman. She is a thief."

Argh! I run faster. He is chasing me, calling me a thief. Where did I meet this guy? I will stay steer clear of him when I meet him in my present time.

"Kwon Kyu Ri, stop if you have left with an ounce of conscience." The weird guy is fast. "I will chase you to hell if I have to. You wronged my friend."

"I didn't wrong him." I have never been chased like this. "He wronged me."

"If you are angry, you can talk it out with him." The guy is getting closer. "I understand that Si An is a difficult person. But, he really loves you. You are even having his child. Don't do this to him. Your wedding is next month."

No way. I am marrying him? What the -? How did this happen in the last six months? I am marrying my murderer. Now, it makes sense. Kang Si An must have wanted to kill me because he didn't want to get married to me or have a child. He is only twenty. Even I don't want to have a child at the age of twenty-one. I am a child myself.

"Look out!"
