Chapter 116 - That's even more disturbing

"You are Kyuri." Young Hwa's mother is pleased to see the graceful young lady. Young Hwa told her about a lot. Though she has a child before marriage, Young Hwa's parents can only accept because their son has finally decided to marry someone. "I heard a lot about you."

"It's nice meeting you." Kyuri feels slightly awkward. It's her first time meeting future in-laws despite being married once. She has had a lot of experience, but this is the first. "I also heard about you from him."

"I hope that he didn't tell you that I was nagging him to get married." Young Hwa's mother looks at Little Hae. "You are more adorable than he told me that you are."

Little Hae blushes and hides behind her mother. Young Hwa's mother finds her too cute. Young Hwa chuckles and nudges Little Hae in his mother's direction. She looks up at her father once before going toward his mother.

"I am your grandmother." Young Hwa's mother carries her on her ŀȧp. "From now on, call me grandma."

"And, I am your grandpa." Young Hwa's father looks a lot like Young Hwa, more like the older version of Young Hwa. He's pretty easy going after his retirement. Since his son has accepted the woman and her daughter, he will accept them too. His son isn't getting any older. There's clear love for Kyuri in his son's eyes.

The meeting between his parents and Kyuri goes well. Kang Si An is watching from afar, feeling emptier with each passing second. Little Hae looks at him and feels bad. She goes to him and asks,

"Why are you sad, Daddy?"

Everyone is startled. Why is she calling that wall her daddy? Young Hwa laughs and says, "She likes to make jokes. She is an active kid."

Everyone laughs except Kyuri. She walks to Little Hae and asks her with a low voice, "Who are you talking to?"

"Daddy," Little Hae replies without blinking her eyes.

"Which daddy?"

"Daddy with green eyes."

Kyuri is stumped. She looks at the wall. An understanding passes through her eyes. Kang Si An is a ghost. She spends the rest of the day with difficulty. Young Hwa notices her pale face. When he asks her what happened to her, she tells him that she's just tired.

"I will take you home." Young Hwa makes an excuse for Kyuri and they go back to her place.

"Everything is alright, Kyuri?" He asks her again before leaving.

"Yes." That's all she can say. How would she explain that the ghost of her ex is wandering around them? That's worse than her abilities.

After putting Little Hae to sleep with her mother, she goes to her room. She needs to be alone. There's a way to interact with the ghosts. The problem is that it's a little dangerous and she doesn't like it at all.

"Kang Si An," She mumbles, hoping that he could hear her and make things easy for her. "Don't leave this room. I am coming to talk to you."

They say that dreams are the realm between the other world and the mortal world. Kyuri has always been able to go to dreams, but it's easier to enter someone's dream when she touches that person. If she does it on herself, it's same as lucid dreaming. She can enter the dream realm and wander around in several dreams. The problem is that she might end up getting lost.

Kang Si An doesn't know that fact. However, he doesn't make things hard for her. When she enters the dream realm, she finds him sitting next to her in her room. The dimensions are warped abnormally. She lets out a breath of relief when she sees him. He's not dead - not completely.

"Are you punishing me?" She asks him with undisguised hate in her tone. "What's the point of this?"

He lets out an exasperated sigh. "Can't you ignore me? I am nothing but air. I can't interfere with your life."

"Can't interfere?" She looks at him with disbelief. "It's a matter of my privacy."

"Hey, I am not a pervert." He glowers at her. "I leave you alone during your private moment. I spend more with Little Hae."

"That's even more disturbing." She grabs his ear and twists it hard. "Go back to your body NOW."

"I am not." He shouts in pain. "I am never going back. I would rather die than wake up with no memories of us."

She lets go of him, getting a bad headache. It's unacceptable. She can't let him around her. She would be always worried that he's there and watching her. "Kang Si An, you will really die if you stay out of your body for too long."

"I told you already. Death is acceptable to me. A life with no memories of us is not." He frowns at her. "What's the problem anyway? I can't do anything. There are other ghosts too. You aren't bothered about them."

They aren't freaking related to her. She doesn't know them. Who would accept an ex haunting them?

"If I fix your mind and remove the seal in your memories, will you go back?" She asks him clenched jaw.

"No, this is better." Kang Si An crosses his arms. "I can stay beside you and her. What more do I need?"

"Moron, I will let you be with Little Hae. You can visit her and be her father. JUST GO BACK TO YOUR F--KING BODY!" Kyuri is losing her calm. She doubts that anyone can keep calm in this situation. She doesn't want to know what he heard or seen.

"Really?" He looks interested. "What else are you offering me?"

"What?" She grimaces at him. "What else do you want?"

Kang Si An decides to take advantage since she is too keen to send him back to his body. "She has to live me with on weekends and holidays."

Kyuri nearly punches him. "Holidays? Weekends are more than enough."

"Alright." He doesn't push it. "When do we do this?"

"Tomorrow." She tells him, "The moment you go back to the body, I will remove the seal."

"Deal then." Kang Si An bows to her with a smile. "It's been nice spending time with both of you, but living is better."

She doesn't answer him and stops her ability. She doesn't want to see his face or attracts other ghosts. This selfish guy only knows how to make trouble for her.

Next day, Kyuri leaves without eating breakfast. She has no idea whether Kang Si An is with her or not. It's faith. Hopefully, he is with her. Otherwise, she would whip his arse when she comes back. She means it.

At the hospital, the doctor or the nurse doesn't ask any question. They already know who she is because of her last visit. She waits until they leave.

"Kang Si An, get in now."

Kang Si An feels reluctant. Will she keep her words? Again, it's faith. He decides to trust her. He doesn't know what lies for him. As soon as he touches his body, he is suċkėd in. Kyuri presses her palm on his forehead and feels his mind returning.

She is tempted to break her words. But who knows what he will do if she does that? This man has a way of infuriating her to death.

She lets her mind sink into him. She finds the same presence, but she ignores it. She finds the box in the bottom of the sea and unlocks it easily. The memories flood out of the box and fill the sea of consciousness. Kyuri comes out of his mind. She's feeling extremely tired. She doesn't wait for him to wake up and leaves.

When Kang Si An wakes up, he has all the memories in his mind. He releases a breath of relief. She kept her words.
