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

Chapter 96: We are really neighbors

She looks like a young boy in male clothes. She has clear skin and an aloof look in her eyes. Holding a sword in her right hand, she moves completely with ease as if she has done this countless times. Rather than bending herself for the role, she is bending the role for herself. Somewhat, the director is satisfied with this outcome. This suits her more.

Kang Si An has been watching her perform from the sidelines. It seems like he has seen her somewhere. He wreaks his brain, but he can't recall. He finds her so familiar. She turns her head to look at him right then. She smiles at him unconsciously.

The alley girl!

He gapes at her like an idiot. That girl is from that alley. She's an actress?

Kang Si An rubs the space between his brows. This is complicated. She seems quite normal. Did he misunderstand that day? She's not a fan then. But, they were certainly kissing. It's his fault for drinking too much.

Argh! Why her? There are so many people in the world. Why is it her?

"She's natural." Jae Kyung says to him, "She is natural with the sword. She even speaks in an ancient way."

He sighs. He is just embarrassed. He acted like a fool in that alley. Why did he think that she was a crazy fan? It's too embarrassing to stand here.

The first day ends without any trouble.

Outside, Jae Kyung taps her shoulder. "Want to get a drink?"

She ignores him and keeps walking. He runs after her. The girl has a strong attitude. She dislikes him even before he did anything to her. He is intrigued by her.

"Kyuri, dinner is okay too." He stands in front of her. "What happens after dinner is your choice, of course."

She cracks her knuckles. "Do you not understand the meaning of no? I don't want to have dinner with you. I am never drinking with you."

She tries to leave, but he grabs her forearm. "Can't you come with me for courtesy?"

Her lips twitch in anger. What courtesy? Why does she have to be courteous to him?

"Park Jae Kyung." Kang Si An steps out of his car. He was about to leave when he saw Kyuri coming out. He wanted to talk to her and apologize for the misunderstanding. He stopped because Jae Kyung was there. This idiotic Jae Kyung won't leave any woman alone. Kang Si An walks to them.

"Don't bully the junior."

Jae Kyung looks at him with irritation. "Kang Si An, why are you still here? Aren't you going to see Ki Mi Ran?"

She purses her lips indignantly. It seems like he is serious about Ki Mi Ran.

"I need to discuss something with her." Kang Si An glances at her. She is a bit pale. Working all day has taken a toll. She isn't used to it. "Come with me. I will drop you at your home."

"Oi!" Jae Kyung yells, "Kang Si An, is your heart wavering already? I have taken claim on this junior."

She stops on her feet and turns around. "Who are you to take claim on me? Did you do drugs? Stop saying nonsense. I only belong to one man. That man is definitely not you."

Without looking back, she steps into Kang Si An's car. Kang Si An is amazed by her answer while Jae Kyung is seething with anger. Kang Si An shrugs his shoulders and enters the car. Jae Kyung watches the car driving away from him.

Kang Si An breaks the silence. "Miss Kwon, I am sorry for misunderstanding you that night."

She gives him a nod. "It's fine. The situation was vague and easy to be misunderstood."

He wants to ask more questions. How did they meet? How did they end up kissing? He glances at the mirror and sees her quiet face. He decides against it. He won't ask. Asking won't change what happened. It was just a kiss anyway. Alcohol was the real reason.

"You are performing well." He offers her some words of encouragement. "You look good in those clothes."

She doesn't reply for a long moment. He doesn't know what else to say. The atmosphere in the car is turning awkward.

"Is your girlfriend really Ki Mi Ran?" Her tone is casual as if she's asking about the weather.

"Ah... yes." It's not entirely a secret that he and Ki Mi Ran are dating.

"Are you getting married to her soon?"

"We are engaged." He peeks at her. "The date hasn't been decided."

The date isn't decided. Ki Mi Ran keeps delaying. In a few months, she will start showing. He doesn't mind if she wants to have a baby before the wedding. If that's her decision, he will accept it gladly. But, it's better to get married before having their baby.

"Miss Kwon, where is your home?"

She tells him the directions before closing her eyes. He frowns when he realizes that the location is in his neighborhood. When they reach, he asks her where to go again.

"Moon Sky Apartments."

He is shocked. "That's where I am staying. Which floor?"

"29th." She doesn't open her eyes.

He is also staying on the 29th floor. Why didn't he see her before? Is this a coincidence? He doesn't misunderstand again. He stops the car in front of the apartment building. They get off the car and walks to the elevator wordlessly. He is still doubtful whether she really lives on the same floor or not.

They get on the elevator. She presses the button before he does. They are alone. He doesn't know why he feels like he is going to have a nervous breakdown. The girl steps out of the elevator when it reaches the 29th floor. They are really neighbor. She lives next door.

"This..." Kang Si An releases a breath. He won't think much of it. It's just a coincidence. "We are really neighbors."

She smiles at him. "So, we are. Take care of me from now on, Neighbor."

He wonders why her smile tickles his heart strangely.

"Si An." Ki Mi Ran comes out of his house. "I was tired of waiting. I was about to leave. Why didn't pick up your phone?"

He brings out his phone and realizes that the ringtone is silent. That's why he missed her 35 miss calls. "Sorry, Mi Ran. I had a shoot today. So, I put my phone on silent. When did you come?"

"I came around 5." Ki Mi Ran glances at the girl beside him. Why is he bringing a girl with him? Is he cheating on her?

"Miss Kwon is a co-artist in the drama I am shooting." Kang Si An understands the questioning look in Ki Mi Ran's eyes. "She's also my neighbor. She lives next door."

He hopes that she doesn't misunderstand something.

Ki Mi Ran shows an angel-like smile. "I have never seen you before. You must be new."

Or unpopular enough to be forgotten.

"I am new." Kyuri returns the same smile. "I guess we will see each other around a lot."

She punches the code and walks into her apartment, leaving Kang Si An and Ki Mi Ran in the corridor.
