NOVEL NEXT Chapter 113: Stay beside you as a soul
Kyuri looks around and sees nothing. There is an odd feeling in her heart. Why did her daughter speak about Kang Si An? He's the only man with green eyes. Did he come to meet her without her knowledge? She is sure that she locked his memories.
Kang Si An sighs. She will find out the truth now.
She runs down the stairs. She doesn't know what to do. After some thinking, she dials Kang Si An's number first. His number cannot be connected. She rubs her forehead and thinks again. Did she fail?
Little Hae won't lie to her.
She picks up her coat and leaves the house. She goes straight to Kang Si An's place. His house is locked. She looks around for a while, but she sees no one. His phone is unreachable and his house is locked. A bad feeling comes to her heart.
Is he planning to do something bad? Sneaking to see Little Hae behind her back? He must be trying to take her away from her.
She wipes her sweaty hands on her clothes. Kang Si An could guess what's going on inside her mind. He witnesses how low she thinks of him. He doesn't blame her. He's the one to blame. He broke her trust first.
She gets down the apartment, worried. She wonders if she should call Yeom Young Hwa. But, she doesn't want to overreact before verifying the facts. Kang Si An is many things, but he isn't sneaky. He's the type who would have come to see her directly after what happened between them unless he has changed.
She recalls his manager phone number from the memories of the previous life. There have been a time when she lived with Kang Si An and became familiar with Manager Jeong.
[Who?]
"I need to talk to Kang Si An. Where is he?"
[Who are you? How do you have my number?]
Kyuri pauses for a moment. "Kwon Kyuri."
[Oh.] There is a long silence. [You haven't seen the news?]
"What news?" Her heart becomes still.
[Kang Si An hasn't woke up for more than a week. He's currently at the hospital.]
She drops the phone. The call is immediately disconnected. Kyuri places her hand over her chest. There is a sharp pain in her heart. Kang Si An is in the hospital. It's been more than a week. Isn't it's been more than a week since she used her abilities on him? Then, because of her... he is there.
Did she break his mind and turn him into a living dead?
Seeing her trembling and crying in a devastated state, Kang Si An tries to hold her. But, he can't. No matter what he does, he's nothing but air to her. He moves his head closer to her ear, "Kyuri, don't blame yourself. It was my choice."
When she reaches the hospital, she sees him lying on the bed. He's breathing on the machine.
"What happened to him?" She asks the doctor injecting medication in his body.
"Who are you?" The doctor looks at her strangely. Actor Kang Si An is famous. A lot of his fans try to come here.
"I am his family," Kyuri tells her without hesitation. "He is the father of my child. Tell me what happened to him."
Kang Si An is surprised to hear those words. He didn't expect that she would ever say them. She still considers him as her family. She doesn't completely hate him. But...
"Mr. Kang was found in this state at his home. It's been more than a week. He hasn't woken up. We are running tests to find the cause. We will inform you when we find out."
The doctor tells her a few other things, but Kyuri isn't listening. She knows it now. She's the cause behind this state. The doctor realizes that she's being ignored. She leaves the ward to check on other patients.
Kyuri walks to Kang Si An's body. He looks like he's asleep. She places her hand on his forehead and closes her eyes. Her consciousness sinks into him. She only finds darkness. There's nothing.
"I don't get it." She looks at him with terror and grief. "How could you do this to me? You would rather stay like this than wake up with no memories of us. You are a foul man. You would use any means to make me come to you. Kang Si An, how low can you fall?"
When she used her ability on his mind, his soul followed her out of his body. His soul wouldn't stay inside a body that was incapable of remembering her. His soul followed her and stayed beside her all the time. He would rather stay like this for the rest of her and Little Hae's lives than live a life with no memory of his love and his child.
Kang Si An smiles at her with sadness. "I am that low. All I can say that I am sorry. But, I will rather stay in this state than wake up without any memory of us. I will stay beside you as a soul than live with no memory of us again."
Kyuri slams her hands on Kang Si An's chest. She bursts into tears, blaming herself for his current state. She has committed a grave sin. She turned a human being into a living dead.
"Don't blame yourself." Kang Si An keeps telling her. "You did nothing wrong. Why are you upset for scum like me? Kyuri, I don't deserve those tears."
She is unable to hear the words that Kang Si An's soul has just told her.
