Chapter 118 - A marriage is marriage if both of us remember it

Next day, Kang Si An waits in front of her house since dawn, wondering when it is okay to go and knock the door. Is 7 too early? 8? 9? 10 should be fine? When he sees Young Hwa arriving around 9, he decides that's the right time.

"What are you doing here?" Young Hwa raises his brow when he sees him.

"Here to see Little Hae." And Kyuri. Kang Si An asks him curtly, "Why are you here?"

"Here to pick up Kyuri to go to the civil office and get married," Young Hwa replies in the same tone.

Kang Si An is too shocked to retort back. Kyuri's mother opens the door and sees two men. She's stumped. What kind of situation is this?"

"Son, come inside." She glances at Young Hwa. Young Hwa smiles and steps into the house.

Kyuri's mother looks at Kang Si An and asks, "Why are you here, Si An?"

"Kyuri asked me to come," He replies with a soft voice. He has seen enough to know that Young Hwa is already accepted as a family member. He is nothing to them except for Little Hae's biological father. There's no one's to blame other than himself for this.

"Come then." Kyuri's mother is cold. She's afraid that Kang Si An might cause a problem between Young Hwa and Kyuri. She likes Young Hwa. He is right for her daughter in every way. Kang Si An... she doesn't dislike him. But, her daughter ran away from home because of him.

Kyuri and Little Hae have just finished with breakfast. When Little Hae sees Young Hwa, she runs to him and kisses him. Just then, Kang Si An enters. He has seen this scene many times. He is forced to accept this. He smiles at Little Hae. "Missed me?"

"Daddy!" Little Hae goes to him. She doesn't touch him. "Where were you?"

"I went to become a real person." He hugs his daughter tightly. God knows how much he wanted to do this. He felt miserable back then, but he thought that it was the only way to stay beside her. Things have worked out well. He can look forward to days when he can hug her every day like this.

"Daddy isn't air anymore." Little Hae kisses him on the cheek. Young Hwa sighs when he sees this scene. He is jealous, alright! It would have been better if it was his genes rather than Kang Si An.

"Not an air anymore." Kang Si An does his best not to let out tears. "I am real, Little Hae."

God! He had a son a long time ago. Little Hua is already dead. Whenever he tried to get close to his son, he would go away further. He couldn't give his son what he wanted. He couldn't love Wu Qiuyue or lessen her misery. He didn't like Wu Qiuyue. He let her do what she wanted to do as long as she didn't come to him and demanded to be treated as his woman. He couldn't treat her as his woman. His heart has only belonged to Kyuri. This affected the relationship between him and his son who grew up seeing the discord between him and Wu Qiuyue. His son hated him for not loving Wu Qiuyue. He couldn't do anything about it. He can't blame anyone for what happened back then.

God has given him a second chance to be a father again.

Kyuri watches him intently from the distance. She turns away when he looks at her. She picks up the glass of water and drinks it. Young Hwa has noticed this little exchange. He walks to her and asks her with a smile, "Ready to get married?"

"What?" Kyuri's mother asks her, surprised. "Are you registering your marriage already? We gave you a blessing yesterday."

"Mother in law, I apologize. We don't want to delay anymore." Young Hwa is embarrassed. "Little Hae is growing up fast too. The wedding is after 10 days. So, it's better if we register it now."

"Let them do what they want." Kyuri's father waves his hand. "They are young, hot-headed, and full of youth."

Kyuri's mother bursts into laughter. "Yes, yes, Go. Kyuri, don't forget to take your seal and card."

"Ah...okay." Kyuri feels an intense gaze on herself. She doesn't have to check to see who it is. She runs upstairs to get her seal and other things.

"Daddy, are you getting married to mommy?" Little Hae asks Young Hwa curiously. "Will we stay together after that?"

"After ten days, we will all stay together," Young Hwa squats down and tells her. "We will have a

big wedding on that day. Little Hae will wear a beautiful dress just like her mommy will. We will dance and eat a lot of food that Little Hae likes. Little Hae, you can wait until then like a good girl, right?"

"Yes, Daddy." Little Hae is excited after hearing him. She turns to Kang Si An and asks, "When will you marry my mommy?"

Young Hwa: "..."

Kyuri's Mother: "..."

Kyuri's Father: "..."

Kyuri, climbing down the stairs: "..."

Kang Si An is stunned, but he gathers his wits. "I already married your mother once before you were born. That was a long time ago."

In the original timeline, he married Kyuri using the emperor decree.

"That marriage was automatically annulled when I turned back time," Kyuri yells at him from the stairs. "Don't say fake information to my daughter."

Kang Si An rolls his eyes. "A marriage is marriage if both of us remember it."

She grits her teeth. "Kang Si An, don't play with fire."

"Why are you getting married for second time when we didn't get a divorce?" He stares at her. "Isn't it illegal?"

"Do you have a marriage certificate to prove that you were married to her?" Young Hwa may sound calm, but he is resisting the urge to beating this man and throw him out of the house. "A witness will do too."

"There was one." Kang Si An glares at him. "The timekeeper. He was there. I wish I could bring him back from wherever he went."

Kyuri crosses her arms and clicks her tongue. "You would bring back that thing that killed me once to prove your selfish words."

Kyuri's parents don't know what to say.

"It's not like that..." Kang Si An hates himself for saying those words. "I didn't mean it that way. You want to get married. Then, get married. I won't say anything."

"You don't have the right to say anything." She walks out of the house before he could reply. Young Hwa doesn't look at him and follows her. He's left with Little Hae alone.

He has no right to say anything. He has lost all the rights. He can only watch and keep his mouth shut as someone else take away his heart. Even if it hurts, he can only watch and suffer alone.

Kang Si An picks up his daughter in his arms. He still has some right to be with his daughter. "Little Hae, want to play the same game that we played the last time?"

"Yes."
