His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband? Chapter 37: You can change the ending
"Is she playing with ?" He looks for her around. "Did soone give her a lift?"
Worried, he calls her number. It's unreachable. He wonders whether he should call her ho. He sits inside the car and waits. Maybe, she will co out of her hiding place. But, there is no hiding place. In just seconds, she managed to get into another car and leave?
He rubs his forehead. She has him wrapped around his finger. What does 'not taking responsibility for my future self' even an? It should be not taking responsibility for her past self.
Does it an that she won't take any responsibility if she tries to seduce him again in the future as she did in the past?
His head hurts when he tries to decipher the words. The more he thinks, the less it makes sense to him. Anyway, who is this Li Jun? He won't let her wander to that guy.

Aweso. The newspaper is in English. I am not far in the future in E country. Only ten years in the future from my present ti.
The city looks lively. The weather is not cold or hot. I only understand half of what I hear. For the umpteenth ti, I deeply regret not listening to my father. I should have studied diligently and learned the languages that he wanted to learn. If I am correcting my aunt's actions, then she should also be here. I should try to find her this ti.
I keep walking on the sidewalk. One of the positive sides of being a ti-traveler is that you can travel to different countries for free. However, you can also end up hungry without a penny or any ID card in your pocket. I have never spent much ti in the future except when I t Kang Si An back then. I have never spent much ti in the past either except when I was with Li Jun. I wonder if it is related to tikeeping ability. But, Li Jun is not a tikeeper. Nothing makes sense in my life anymore.
I bump into soone. I apologize in the broken language. The man grumbles sothing. I can't understand him completely. I apologize again in English. He looks at his watch and walks away. Now, I wonder if I have changed sothing. The world is big. I don't know how I am fixing my aunt's mistakes or how many of my little actions changing soone else's fate. Not knowing is also good.
A figure on the opposite side of the road catches my eyes. Even after ten years, she still looks like soone in the early twenties. I follow her. She is walking fast. I don't want her to see . She goes inside an elite hotel. She talks to the receptionist in fluent English. The receptionist smiles and picks up the phone. I can't hear them. She walks out of the hotel. I keep following her. She doesn't go far. She walks into a closed alley and stops. She turns around and looks at .
"Don't co too close. Don't touch ." She warns when I get closer. "If you touch , you and I will beco one."
"What does that even an?" I feel frustrated for so reason. "Did Kang Si An kill or not?"
"If ti-traveler from the future touches her past self, the past self is replaced by the ti-traveler from the future," She answers in a quiet voice. "Whether Kang Si An will kill you or not, it depends on whether you can find the ti crystal or not."
She's being cryptic. I hate it. "You should touch . If you do that, you can take my place and change the future. You might be able to find the ti crystal earlier."
She smiles at sadly. "I can't do that."
"Why?" I don't understand. I don't mind disappearing. She and I are sa.
"If I touch you, I will lose my body. Your soul and mine will synchronize." She steps backward. "If I do that, I will lose my child."
I take a deep breath. "You are pregnant. It ans that Kang Si An hasn't tried to kill you yet."
She takes another step backward. "I don't have much ti. If you can find the ti crystal, you can change the ending."
I see her disappear right in front of my eyes. I wonder if she went to the past or the future. It doesn't seem that she has much control. Then, she hasn't found the ti crystals yet.
I look up at the sky. It's getting dark. I have no money or place to stay. I squat on the ground and run my fingers through my hair. Frustrated. How do I find the ti crystal?
"Kyuri?"
"..."
I am speechless. I can recognize this voice anywhere.
The person is Kang Si An. He looks a bit older. He should be around 30 now. He looks a lot more like Li Jun physically. Was I tricked by my future self? I stand up awkwardly.
The hotel. Receptionist. Bringing to this alley. She screwed up big ti.
"You are here." He looks at with widened eyes.
"Hi, Kang Si An... long ti?" I wonder if it's been a long ti.
"It's been ten years." His eyes are full of pain. "Ever since you disappeared from my arms, I never saw you again. You are really a ti-traveler."
"..."
"Your family told ." He touches my cheek. "I didn't believe them, but I couldn't find you anywhere. I waited for a long ti for you to co and see . Finally, you are here."
Awkwarder. I didn't expect Kang Si An to speak like this. His personality has changed. He is no longer twenty years old hot-headed guy who would argue with at every chance. This Kang Si An is mature and solemn.
"These clothes... " He scrutinizes my clothes and chuckles, "You disappeared on the highway that day."
"You still rember?" I am surprised. For , it might have been only a few hours. For him, it's been a decade.
"How could I forget?" He smiles at . "I rember each mont that I spent with you."
