His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 43: Forgive me, wife

Passionate nights. Carefree days. It feels like dreams. Li Jun has never been this happy after his family was assassinated by his uncle because of the power play of court. Though his uncle was exterminated by him a long time ago before Kyuri appeared, he is still afraid that someone would come and take away her from him.

"So, it was you," She tells him. "That day, the boy... in the stable. I am glad that you lived."

"How did you find out?" He traces circles on her back.

"General Yu told me once that your family... " She pauses and looks up. "It must have been hard growing up alone."

"It's not as hard as living my days without you here." He presses his palm against her back. He likes feeling her heartbeat with his palm. "I want to be selfish and keep you with me forever."

"I wish that I could do that." She rolls on her back and looks at the ceiling. "Li Jun, there will be a time when I won't be able to return to you anymore. You can't stop living. If it is possible, try to find happiness with someone else. I won't mind if it's the princess."

"If you don't return, I know that I will be with you in my next life." He wraps his arms around her waist. "I will live and die happily, knowing that I will find you again."

"You two are really the same." She sighs loudly. "Li Jun, let me tell you. Your next life will be better than this one. You will become a celebrity and you will be worshipped by numerous people. You will also be with numerous women before you meet me. I guess that you will make up for what you lack in this life."

He doesn't miss the grudge in her tone.

"My reincarnation is a bad person. How could he go to other women before meeting you?" He frowns. "He should be punished. You should abandon him and stay with me here."

She looks at him sideways. "He didn't bring in a concubine."

He chuckles. "Forgive me, wife."

Kang Si An looks around nervously. The girl is nowhere to be seen. Her number is unreachable as always. He has even contacted her family. She is really nowhere. The director will be here soon.

He redials her number and turns around.

"Whoa!" Kang Si An yells in surprise when he sees a straight-faced Kyuri in ancient clothes standing behind him. She doesn't utter a single word and takes a seat beside him. Before he could ask anything, the director is already here with Ki Mi Ran.

"Who is this?" Ki Mi Ran points at Kyuri.

He looks at director Lee who is watching them intently. "This is my girlfriend, Kwon Kyuri."

Kyuri smiles at them politely. "Nice to meet you. I heard that you are shooting a historical tragedy. I decided to wear this to show my support."

"The movie is based on k country's history." Ki Mi Ran snaps. "You are wearing something different."

"Mi Ran, the movie is adapted from the movie based on c country's historical tragedy." Director Lee takes a seat. "Miss Kwon, you look beautiful in that dress. You look like you have walked out of the past itself."

"If only you knew." Kang Si An hears her mumble. He peers at her. Those clothes suit her. Her face doesn't have any makeup. Her hair is tied in a casual ancient style. She looks pretty and different.

"I was surprised that I heard about you. Kang Si An and your story are viral." Director Lee already likes the girl. "Are you interested in becoming an actress? You are quite famous."

She shakes her head. "Too troublesome. Kang Si An should remain as the actor. I just want to be his wife."

Kang Si An coughs and puts down the glass of water. What did she just say?

Director Lee laughs. "So young."

"You are in your early twenties." Ki Mi Ran speaks in a cheerful tone. "It's too early to get married. You should think about Kang Si An's career. He has just begun."

Kyuri nods at her. "The future is unknown."

Kang Si An scans her. She sounds sad for some reason. Is she acting now? She is overdoing it for god's sake.

The meeting ends without any more talk on marriage. He scolds her in the car. She doesn't respond. Frustrated because of her silence, he drops her at her dorm. She doesn't look back at him once.

***

She comes back to his apartment. She cooks for him every day. She refuses to leave his place. She would even help him practice his lines. At night, she would sleep on his bed. Sometimes, she would leave him without any word.

He leaves for the shoot in another city, happy that she can't follow him there. But, she reappears again. Stabbed on the shoulder. It becomes his worst memory. He stays with her all night. After waking up, she runs away before her family arrives. Strangely, he is not blamed after he tells them her message.

Three days later, she reappears again in her room. She manages to get drugged by Ki Mi Ran. On the way back to the S city, they argue over Li Jun. She is gone again.

He calls her friend, Yoon Mi. He is told that Kyuri is visiting her parents. Kang Si An wonders why she is always going to her parents' home. Is she not serious about studies?

Back at his home, he feels like seeing that annoying girl again. He calls her family who tells him that she is too busy to talk. She must be really angry for leaving her on the road. He texts her number. The message is undelivered because the number doesn't exist.

A week is gone. She reappears again. She resumes visiting him every day on her own. He doesn't stop her this time. He is also busy with the shoot. Sometimes, she would disappear for weeks. Whenever she comes back, she would tell him that she was visiting her parents because they miss her.

"Finding the time crystals will help you?" Li Jun feeds her the meat. The living environment is not suitable for women, but Kyuri doesn't want to go to the capital. General Yu has allowed her to come with them for the hunt for the sacred treasure that the emperor wanted. The fifth prince is also with them with a few other able soldiers.

"It might," She replies in a low voice. "Don't think much about it. I am fine like this."

"I am not fine." He cocks his head. "Tell me about it."

"It might be the sacred treasure that we are looking for." She scratches her head. "I am not sure. She told me that the description matches."

She closes her mouth abruptly and looks at him blankly.

"I know that General Yu is a woman," He tells her with a smile. "It was suspicious that she would be interested in this kind of task. Is she also from the future?"

"Yes." She slaps her forehead. "Does the prince also knows that she is a woman?"

"Since the day he saved her," Li Jun tell her truthfully. "He sent me with General Yu to protect her from her enemies."

"Aish!" She lets out an exasperated sigh. "I always found it strange that he would tease my aunt in such like that. So, he already knew. He won't make a bad uncle."

"The fifth prince has been interested in her for a long time." It's Li Jun's turn to sigh. "He is also fine in keeping their relationship in this state. It's hard to guess what he wants."

"My aunt is regaining her abilities. He body has almost healed on its own," She scratches her chin. "Unlike me, she can travel anywhere in time as she wishes. It won't be long now. He should make a move. Otherwise, she will slip away."

"I will give him a warning."
