Chapter 143 - Twisted things?

After discussing with Kyuri, Kang Si An calls his manager to take a break for a few days. He wonders if he writes down a will (just in case). Since Keeper is here, he's sure that saving Ahn Hana cannot be a simple task.

Unlike Kang Si An, Kyuri has already prepared things in case she dies. She did it after Little Hae was born. Since she's a time-traveler, she can't believe her fate. Even though the timekeeper told her that she would live up to 91, she knows that things are never permanent when it comes to her.

"Little Hae, do you love Hyun?" Kyuri has a new worry. Since Jae Hyun is Wu Yixing's reincarnation, she can't help but feel awkward. The prince who loved poisons more than human is going to be her son-in-law.

"Yes, Mommy." Little Hae grins at her. "I am going to marry him when I grow up."

"..." Kyuri curses the day when she suggested to Ahn Hana that their children should meet. She should have prevented Little Hae from meeting Jae Hyun.

"I hope that he doesn't love poisons this time." Kyuri sighs and massages her forehead. If Little Hae has her aunt's soul, she can't prevent the inevitable. But she feels weird. How is Kang Si An so calm about this?

She wishes that she didn't have a time-travel ban. Otherwise, she would have gone back and asked her aunt not to decide to be born as her daughter.

Her aunt must have thought that it was funny.

"Twisted things?" Little Hae is confused, but she hugs back her mother. "I won't think it."

"Don't marry Jae Hyun until you are 35," Kyuri adds.

"Mommy, I can't do that. I already promised him that I would marry him when I turn 18," Little Hae tells her straightforwardly.

"Why do you make big promises to someone without asking me?" Kyuri glares at her daughter. "You are nearly 4. I have only 14 years with you."

"Mommy, Hyun told me that all of us will live together." Little Hae smiles brightly.

"So cunning." Kyuri can see that Jae Hyun has bought her daughter.

"Mommy, it's 5 PM." She looks at the phone. "I want to call Hyun."

Perplexed, Kyuri calls Jae Hyun's father because her daughter won't stop nagging her.

Little Hae: "Hyun, I love you."

Little Hae: "Hyun, when will you come to my house to play?"

Hyun: "My mother won't let me. You come here."

Little Hae: "I will ask Mommy."

Hyun: "Come quickly."

Little Hae looks at her dumbfounded mother. "Mommy, can you take me to Hyun's house?"

She snaps out of the daze. "No way. You can't go to that place."

Little Hae's round eyes become misty. "Why?"

Kyuri clutches her heart. "Your father said no. It's not my fault. Don't look at me like that."

Let Kang Si An become the bad guy.

Hyun. "I will ask my Father to talk to your father."

Little Hae: "I miss you."

Hyun: "I miss you too."

Kyuri feels like dying of embarrassment. Even she didn't talk to Li Jun like this ever. She never called Kang Si An like this. This new generation is scaring her.

Her daughter already has a boyfriend. It took her 21 years to like someone and that was also a disaster.

She knows how Kang Si An feels.

Sighing, Kyuri goes to the refrigerator to find food.

***

8 PM.

Kang Si An called Do Sejin earlier to come to his place. They can't talk about Ahn Hana at the bar where they usually meet for drinks. Kang Si An likes Do Sejin as a friend. He wants Do Sejin to know and be prepared.

Do Sejin finds the question odd. "No, my mother is at our home."

"Oh." Kang Si An realizes that Do Sejin might have some idea. Living with Ahn Hana for so long, it's nearly impossible to not notice since Do Sejin was also involved with that murderer. "Come inside."

His friend steps into the apartment. It's cleaner than he expected. He takes a seat on the couch and waits. He can guess that Kang Si An called him to have an important talk. Kang Si An is tensed and nervous. He takes a seat opposite of Do Sejin.

"What do you want to talk about?" Do Sejin asks with a cool voice.

"Err..." Kang Si An doesn't know how to start. It's not every day that he talks about a supernatural thing. If it wasn't urgent, he wouldn't discuss this way. "When are you enlisting for two years of mandatory military service?"

Do Sejin has been delaying it as long as he could. He's going to be 28 soon. He doesn't want his children to be alone with Ahn Hana. He's been planning to ask his parents to live with Ahn Hana, but that's a stretch. Ahn Hana can bȧrėly tolerate when his parents visit. She will never agree.

"Next month."

Kang Si An realizes that they really don't have much time. "Do you believe in the supernatural?"

"I don't."

Kang Si An smiles at him awkwardly. "Not even ghosts?"

"Aren't they supernatural?" Do Sejin raises his brow. "Did you call me here to discuss supernatural?"

Kang Si An nods. He takes a deep breath. "Ahn Hana has Hong Yi Hwan's soul inside her."

Do Sejin becomes pale when he hears that name. He didn't expect that Kang Si An would ever say it. It's been years since the name has been buried. Hong Yi Hwan is missing and they are still looking for him. Most people have ȧssumed him dead. Only Do Sejin and Ahn Hana know for sure that he's dead. "Is this a joke?"

"I am not joking. My life depends on it." Kang Si An stares at Do Sejin. "I know that Hong Yi Hwan is dead. Ahn Hana has his soul inside her. When you leave for the military service, she might harm your children."

"Kang Si An!" Do Sejin looks at him with a chilling gaze. "Don't. I think of you as my friend. If you speak nonsense, I will stop considering you as one."

"You know that I am right." Kang Si An blocks his way. "Kyuri also knows it. She told Ahn Hana and that's why they are friends. Kyuri is not an average person. I am not average either. Listen to our story. Then, I will take you to Kyuri."

Do Sejin's face contort in anger. He doesn't want to listen to him for a single second more.

Do Sejin scowls at him, but he knows that he can't take this chance. Ahn Hana has been strange since that night. He has often heard her talking to Hong Yi Hwan. He thought that it was mental illness - a delusion. That's why he's extremely cautious.

But if Kang Si An is right for 1 %, then his children might be in danger. He can't take that chance. He decides to hear him first.
