NOVEL NEXT Chapter 125: Not a deep wound
Aimlessly walking on the road in the night, she wonders who she should call. What should she do next? None of the problems that she faced in the last thousand years can help her with the problems that she's facing today. Her mind is in chaos.
She glances at the screen of her phone. She lets out a dry laugh when she sees the name. The gods must be laughing at her. Still, she's not weak. If they want to laugh, let them laugh.
[Kyuri, I dropped Little Hae at home. I am leaving now.]
Kang Si An reports each time before coming to see Little Hae and leaving.
"Okay." Kyuri stares down at the dark water. The wind is cool and soothing. Since he's leaving now, she can go home. She's about to hang up when Kang Si An's voice urgent voice comes out.
[Where are you?]
She doesn't want to talk to him the most at this moment. But, she has decided to not treat him badly since he's trying his best to become Little Hae's father.
[Where?]
"I am already on my way."
[Kyuri, can't you stop being stubborn for a moment and just tell me where you are?]
She sighs tiredly before she tells him the location. The call disconnects. She stares at the shimmering city lights on the other shore of the river. Because of the city lights, the stars can't be seen in the sky. She thinks about the time when she could see beautiful stars in the sky in the past.
She should take Little Hae to places where they can see the stars again.
Kang Si An arrives at the location. She has her back to him, staring at the sky with deep sadness in her eyes. When he gets closer to her, he notices that her clothes are disheveled and torn around her right shoulder. She has wounds on her forehead and arms.
"Why are you standing here when you should be at the hospital?" He asks her with an agitated voice.
"Not a deep wound." It's nothing compared to the wounds on her heart. She doesn't want to go to the hospital. She has been afraid of going back home and shows this face to Little Hae. "I don't want to go to the hospital for a small cut."
"You." Kang Si An is exasperated. Does this woman still think that she's still immortal? She bled so much. Even her clothes have drops of the blood. He steps closer to her to look at her forehead's wound. Damn! It looks deep. If it remains untreated, she will get an infection. "What happened to you? Who did this?"
Is it Young Hwa? He wants to ask, but he can't say the word.
"I was almost r@ped." Kyuri looks at him calmly and tells him, "The other person is in a worse state."
His hand freezes in the air. Kyuri sighs again when she sees the tortured expression. The remorse in his eyes is also making her hate herself. Sometimes, all she wants is to disappear. If there hasn't been Little Hae in her life, what would she have done? She loved a man for more than a thousand years and it ended in a tragedy. She tried to love another man and it turned out to be a lie.
"Drop me at home." She doesn't wait for him to say anything and gets into the car. She wonders what should she tell her family at her home. Her family is there for her, but she's used to being alone.
She relied on Young Hwa in the past.
When the wedding was canceled, she felt relieved. When she heard Young Hwa's phone ringtone coming out of that room, a corner of her heart was relieved again. At that moment, she should have knocked on the door and walk inside. She is still Young Hwa's wife in papers. She should have gone inside and seen for herself whether it's really Young Hwa with the woman. If she loved him or felt something, she would have gone inside.
When the car stops, she snaps out of her thoughts. They are standing in front of the hospital.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Your wounds need to be treated." No matter what she says, the wound looks bad. It's deep. She might have a concussion.
She almost rolls her eyes.
"I have had worse." She stares at him. "Isn't it better if I die? It won't be hard for you to win her full custody if I die. You can have Little Hae then."
He closes his eyes when the words hit him again. She thinks that way about him. Would he ever be happy if she dies? He would never want to see her die. Seeing her die once was unbearable. Even now, he gets those nightmares. Though things have turned out like this after the time turn, at least she's alive. "Kyuri, I would never want that. You know it."
"I don't know." She blinks slowly. "I thought that I knew you. But, I was proven wrong. You are worried about these little wounds that someone gave me today. Why were you not worried about me three years ago? Back then, you felt nothing at all. Do you know what I did after you left?"
"Kyuri..." Kang Si An rests his head on the steering wheel. He has thought about it every day for the last three years. He has tried to punish himself. He tried to make his wrongs right, but nothing is working.
Kyuri's wounds have been ripped open because of everything that happened to her in the last few hours. She wouldn't have been this harsh if he hadn't come to see her. She hates that he is there at this moment with her. It should have been anyone else.
"Since you like to be tortured that much, I will tell you then."
