Chapter 132: A lot of things to be sorry for
Kyuri is maintaining a poker face. Kang Si An can't read any emotion on her face. Though the eyes can't lie, he can't see anything in those dark brown eyes either. Her guards are up. He is perturbed by the fact that he can't read her like the way he is used to.
"I heard you," She tells him in a neutral tone. "Go back home. Little Hae must be waiting for you."
"I can't leave you alone at night." He scowls at her. "You are a young woman. How can you walk out alone? Yesterday also, you should have called someone or come back straight home. Couldn't you take a cab?"
She's getting a headache because of his non-stop nagging. "I am not that young. I am older than you, fool. Did you forget that I killed someone? Also, I can protect myself. Nothing can hurt me unless I am drunk."
She was planning on getting drunk though. She's a year older than Kang Si An on the certificates. But, she is way older if one considers...
"I am older than you are. I have all of my memories. I lived up to 95 once. You didn't grow when you were cursed. So, mentally, I am older than you are." He points at her. "Listen to this old man. You are a female. Don't wander at night. Don't drink ever again."
"You don't have the wisdom of someone that old." She crosses her arms. "And, who are you to order me? I am a married woman. Don't act so friendly. This is my second warning."
"Tch!" He clicks his tongue in annoyance, acting like an old man. "Married or not, you are still a woman. I can't ignore if you go out and seek trouble. Do you know what kind of effects you have on men? You always lack self-awareness. When you were with General Yu, do you know how other soldiers talked about you? They planned on coming on to you when your aunt wasn't around. If I didn't state my claim on you, you would have been -"
"What do you mean by claiming me?" Kyuri is perplexed by his words. "I own myself. Nobody can claim me, okay?"
"What I mean is..." Kang Si An wants to tell her that she should be self-aware of herself. She's quite pretty. Men are easily attracted to her. Walking alone at night is dangerous for an attractive woman like her.
"Also, you were the strange one who fell for me because of dreams." She raises her chin. "First, you tried to kill me on the battlefield too. Then, you would stare at me wherever I go. It was so uncomfortable. When I took off your mask -"
"Don't start." Kang Si An rubs his forehead. She's talking about his embarrassing days. He stared at her like a love fool back then. "I dreamt of you because of the time that you spent with me in this century. You were the one who came to my house every day and tried everything to seduce me."
"That is because you seduced me as Li Jun first and then, you also slept with me when I met you in E Country and..." Kyuri counts all of his actions on her fingers. "Even getting an emperor's decree to force me to marry you, what the hell was wrong with you? The second time, you dared to ask me to become your concubine. You should be glad that I am not turning your head into a soup right now."
He watches her poker face breaking into ranges of colorful expressions. His heart is erratic to see the fury in her eyes. Beautiful. "I wanted to be with you. I couldn't break my promise to Li Hua's mother. But, I wanted to you to stay with me. I shouldn't have done that. I was an idiot. I am sorry for trying to force it upon you."
"You have a lot of things to be sorry for." Kyuri turns away from him, flustered. It seems like she can't drink and numb her brain tonight. Her brain is already going numb because of Kang Si An. "I am going back home."
Kang Si An follows her silently. She still manages to make his heart go crazy like the first time.
