His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband? Chapter 139: Took you long enough
The days are turning strange. Sotis, it all feels too good to be true. There's this prickling feeling that things will go crazy at any mont these days.
I sigh and look out of the window.
5:30 AM. Today is Sunday. It's raining. Little Hae is still sleeping, but I have this bad habit of waking up early because of her. I can't go back to sleep even if I want. Honestly, I couldn't sleep well for the last few days. The bad feeling...
I jump, splashing the mildly hot coffee on my trousers. I cover my mouth to hold back the scream. Damn! Who is here at this ti of the day? The doorbell keeps ringing. This person will wake up the whole house. I run to the door and open it.
Kang Si An.
"Do you have common sense?" I nearly yell at him. "5:30 AM... is this your house?"
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep." There are dark circles under his eyes. He glances at my trousers. "Did you burn yourself? Show ."
Before he could touch my thigh, I grab his hand. "We don't have that kind of relationship where we can see each other's thighs."
"I have seen it all and..." He closes his mouth when the realization hits and looks away. "Sorry."
If he hasn't grown on already, I would have splashed the hot coffee on his head. I am used to his words now. It doesn't even feel awkward anymore.
"You should apply ointnt there." I hear him say.
"I wasn't burnt. The coffee wasn't that hot and -" I turn around to look at him. The look in his eyes is different. Familiar. Kang Si An but not Kang Si An. With a flicker, it's gone.
Frozen at the spot, I mumble his na, "Keeper."
He blinks. "What did you say?"
"I am sure that I saw..."
"Saw what?" He furrows his brows. "Is sothing here that I can't see?"
He looks around. I beco silent. Was it a mistake? I am sure that I saw. My luck can't be that bad, right? It's odd that both of us didn't have a good sleep last night. Maybe I am being overly sensitive. But being overly sensitive is better than being careless.
"Did you have blackouts these days? Going where you don't rember going?"
"No, just trouble sleeping." He sits on the chair.
I am sure that he only goes back to his apartnt for sleep. If I ask him to just stay here, he would accept it in a heartbeat. That's why I never ask him to stay. My parents do not ask either.
I remake the coffee for him and . He likes it sweeter. I know it from my mories. Li Jun liked savory dishes more. After putting the coffee cup in front of him, I sit in front of the window. I stare out of the window, thinking about what I saw earlier.
I am sure that it was the tikeeper. I would never forget that gaze.
I catch him staring at again. I am sort of used to it. Again, that smile. That look in the eyes.
"Tikeeper," I say it out aloud. "You are back!"
"Traveler," Kang Si An chuckles lowly. "It took you long enough."
I dash to the kitchen and grab the knife. I point at him. The tikeeper stands up languidly and walks toward with a sultry smile on his lips. I am sure that the mont is suddenly frozen. I can't hear the sound of the rain. He takes slow and heavy steps toward .
"Traveler, you aren't happy to see again." The keeper speaks with Kang Si An's voice, but the tone is completely different. "I was wondering how long you will take."
Who would be happy to see their murderer? He gave a life, yes. But his return can never be a piece of good news. What if he changed his mind and ca back to finish what he couldn't finish the last ti? "How long?"
He must have been cautious if both Kang Si An and I couldn't find out.
"It's been a few weeks." He tilts his head, looking at intently. "You never learn, Traveler. I gave you a life to spend it happily with this idiot. But you went ahead and ruined it."
"Hey, don't bla ." I swing the knife in his direction. "First, tell why are you back."
"Don't act so brave." He walks closer and stops when the tip of the knife touches his chest. "You can never kill this man. Even if he ruins you inside out, you will never destroy him. This is one of the reasons why I ca to this body."
"You didn't answer my question." I don't remove the knife.
"I ca back because it was the Great Deity's wish." He grabs the blade. The blood trickles on the floor. I let go, shocked. He throws the knife away. "Traveler, you have two choices. Either you die or..."
I cover my ear. "Not again."
"Listen to first." He pulls my hands away from my ears. "When did you beco so paranoid?"
"You are back to kill again." I realize that I am hyperventilating.
"Calm down, Traveler." He makes a face. "You have a choice. If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already."
"Does Kang Si An not love anymore?" I search his face. "How can you use this body when the 100 minutes are over?"
He scowls at . "You know that he loves you. You still give him difficulties."
"Why are you not answering my questions? Are you going to kill again? I didn't ti travel. I didn't make a ss again. I have been a decent citizen of this country. I pay taxes on ti. I am living a quiet life, not making any wave. I am content with -"
I freeze when his lips touch mine. I feel stupid suddenly, unable to react or say. Who is my heart beating for? The body belongs to Kang Si An, but the kisser is Tikeeper.
"It is still effective." He smirks at . "Traveler, I like hearing the sound of your heartbeat."
