His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband? Chapter 89: This is your last kiss with me

"Kyuri, can you tell your na?" The middle-aged doctor asks slowly. My family is watching while holding their breaths.

"Kwon Kyuri," I reply calmly. It seems like I have been here for a long ti. Surprisingly, I am still alive. Did the tikeeper not find ?

My family and the doctor exhale at the sa ti. The doctor smiles at and says, "How old are you?"

A little more than a thousand years. "21."

"Do you rember what you were doing before you passed out?"

"I was standing in front of my dorm."

The doctor looks relieved. My parents wipe their tears. My brother is silently crying at the door, hiding his face from . I look at my arms. I am no longer pale and grayish like the dead. The ti crystal is still inside . My heart is beating.

In the last thousand years, how many tis have I checked? It's a habit now.

"What's the date today?" I ask him with a low voice. Did the tikeeper forget about his mission and let go? Is it possible? I don't think so. We wouldn't go through what we went through if he was that kind.

The doctor tells the date kindly. I realize that more than five months have passed. My day of death is only three weeks away.

"..."

Is this a coincidence or...?

The doctor is saying sothing, but I don't listen. Why I am still alive? Does he want to do it at the sa spot on the sa day? He won't be that much of the perfectionist, right? Even after more than a thousand years, I can't understand that tikeeper.

Whatever! Death by stabbing doesn't sound too bad at this ti. How many tis was I stabbed in the thousand years? Whenever people noticed sothing strange about , they tried to kill . So wanted to catch to find the recipe of immortality. There were tis when they tried to burn alive. I would have died countless tis if I wasn't immortal back then. I have seen too many things. Too many things have happened to .

"Kyuri, my pretty daughter." My mother hugs . "Why did you do it? You should have taken care of your health. You are beautiful the way you are."

"Idiot!" My brother flicks my forehead. "You are prettier than all the girls your age. You don't need to lose weight. If you don't eat proper als four tis a day, I would kill you."

My father looks at gravely. "If you ever do that again, I will disown you."

"..."

What do they think that I did? I can't make sense of their words. It takes so ti for to understand. They think that I starved myself to get a figure like a model.

"..."

I get scolded for a cri that I didn't commit. They feed five tis a day and continue to nag. I have missed my family.

A few days before the day of my death, I leave the hospital. I spend two days at ho. I keep waiting for the damn tikeeper, but he doesn't appear once. I am scared. I like living with my family. I want to spend more ti with them. Even after living for more than a thousand years, I want to live more.

Nevertheless, I am happy. It's probably because I have lived so much ti alone that I understand the value of my family.

On the day of my death, I eat lunch with my family. It's one of my happiest mont. I leave at 3 PM. The city is a few hours drive away. I don't leave any ssage or letter. I am a selfish person. I hate saying goodbyes.

It's already night. I go to the spot where I was murdered a long ti ago in my past. It is my present mont now. The poster on the wall is familiar. It's going to be released soon.

I wish that I could see that movie, but I am too tired.

I hear the sound of footsteps. It's Kang Si An. No, he's the tikeeper. Unlike before, there's no coldness in his eyes. He's carrying the keeper's dagger in his hand.

"I thought that you wouldn't co." He steps toward . "You could run away. I gave you the chance."

"You knew that I wouldn't leave." I smile at him. "You know how I feel. You also suffered because of . I was frozen for a long ti. You had to keep watch on in each of Li Jun's reincarnation. Let's end this now."

He pushes against the wall. "Traveler, you think that I would pity you?"

"I don't think so." I look into his green eyes. "Why didn't you co and kill ?"

"You were at the hospital. There were too many tis. Then, you were always surrounded by your family at your ho." The tikeeper glares at . "I will finish this tonight. I know that nothing would change the past now."

I agree with his words. I don't think that there is any version of who can change the past now. I spent 5 months in a coma. My past self will never see this scene. I didn't et Kang Si An or beco his fake girlfriend. I have destroyed the original tiline.

"You are getting your wish. I am surrendering to my death." I close my eyes and wait.

***

The dagger in his hand feels heavy. The tikeeper lifts his hand to stab her. The ti crystal is inside her soul. He can't pity this woman. After she dies, she will go to hell for destroying the original tiline. The fire of hell will purify her soul before she is reborn again. Life and death are only two sides of a coin in his eyes.

Kang Si An never t this girl. Like his previous reincarnations, he is also born with the burden of Li Jun's wishes and desires. But, it is still nothing that the tikeeper can't handle. If he could kill her once, killing her again is also nothing.

So much have happened. It started at this mont. It is ending with this mont now. This girl must die. That's her punishnt. She's an anomaly that this world doesn't need. She chose this mont.

There were 100 minutes that he gained from making a deal with Kang Si An in the original tiline. He spent and conversed for 95 minutes with her in the last thousand years. There are only 5 minutes left.

"Traveler, open your eyes."

She looks at him - not Kang Si An. The calm in her eyes reminds him of the mont when he gutted her with this sa dagger in the original tiline. Even then, she was calm and smiling. But, she didn't see him as the tikeeper back then. She called him Kang Si An and accepted her death willingly.

"Are you upset that you are spending the last five minutes with ?" He asks her.

"I am not." She shakes her head. "I feel better that it's not Li Jun or Kang Si An."

This woman. She wouldn't want her lover to get hurt even when she's dying. "You are sothing."

"I will take that as a complint." She laughs a little.

He smiles at her unconsciously. "Then, close your eyes. I will do it now."

"Okay."

She shuts her eyes close again, waiting for her death. The dagger falls to the ground. The tikeeper lifts her chin and kisses her. She opens her eyes right away.

"It's who is kissing you." He stares into her eyes. "It's not Kang Si An or Li Jun. Do you hear? It's . This is your first kiss with ."

"I don't understand." The woman widens her eyes dumbly, unable to comprehend what he is saying.

The tikeeper chuckles. It seems like he will fail his mission. For more than a thousand years and several lifetis, he has been buried under Li Jun's and Kang Si An's feelings. He wonders when he fell for her. Is that why he wanted to keep a distance from Li Jun and his reincarnation?

The's the girl who bravely challenged him. She's the one who paid gravely to save the man she loved. The tikeeper is upset that he isn't the man she loved. He is only a special entity sent to live inside Kang Si An's soul to take care of this special anomaly. Since he will fail this mission and gets removed from his soul, he will return to the place where he ca from. He won't be able to see this roguish ti-traveler ever again. He will say goodbye to her in the way he likes.

"This is your last kiss with ." The tikeeper leans down and kisses her again - tender and ardent, needy and giving, and conveying a thousand words without saying anything. His warm tear falls on her cheek. The last five minutes are over. The tikeeper is gone.
