The Love That Remains

Chapter 24: You are the only one for me

On the other side, a mysterious blind young woman in a white long flowing dress is sitting on the highest electric pole of the city. Her long golden tresses are being played by the wind in the dead of the night. Her thin lips are pursed into a thin line. She slightly tilts her head and sighs.

"You never learn."

There is a distant laugh. The woman frowns and says, "Why are you here?"

"It's nice to see you too." After a pause, the deep voice rings again. "Little sister."

"Tsk!" The woman furrows her delicate brows in annoyance. "You are not needed here."

"I will fix your mistakes." The woman feels a strong pressure on her body. "You can't control him, but I can."

"Let me handle this." She grits her teeth in anger. The invisible force is holding her down.

"You are too weak, Kismet." The voice mocks her. "You are easily swayed by emotions. You forget that you are a god too."

"I have a plan." Kismet hides her emotions and steady her voice.

"This is your last chance." The invisible presence disappears. Kismet lets out a sigh of relief. She jumps down and lands in the middle of the crowded street. Nobody notices the woman. They ignore her existence like she is air.

"Reis, you went too far this time." She mumbles to herself and runs her fingers through her golden hair. She tilts her head to hear the whispers that nobody can hear and counts using her fingers.

Sung Jun is leaning against the wall, cross-armed. His expression is serene while his eyes are fixed on the floor. Wang Mei is pacing in front of him impatiently. She glances at him once, then at the door of Fang Aisa's house. Then, she looks at her phone. Fang Aisa didn't return home. She didn't pick up her phone either. They can't find her anywhere.

"Sung Jun, why are you calm?" Wang Mei is strongly resisting the urge to slash down this boy using the sword that she stole.

Sung Jun doesn't reply. His quiet and unfathomable dark eyes give an uncomfortable feeling Wang Mei. She naturally looks away, gripping the hilt of the sword.

"You go inside and wait for her." Sung Jun tells her in a deadpan voice. "If she comes back, call me."

"Are you going to look for her?" Wang Mei asks uneasily. He looks sort of angry, doesn't he?

He doesn't reply and leaves Wang Mei in front of Fang Aisa's house. Sung Jun might look calm, but that's a facade. Only he knows what he is feeling at the moment. He is sure that he will either die of anger or worry because of a certain girl.

It's already 10 PM and there is no sign of her. Granny Lan has called the main house. There are people looking for her. But there has been no news. This is the second time when he is feeling helpless.

"Sung Jun."

Sung Jun turns around and sees no one. Just when he is about to turn, he sees Fang Aisa near the side wall. He rushes to her side and checks on her to make sure that she isn't harmed.

How come a person appears out of nowhere?

"Fang Aisa." He calls her name softly to wake her up. She responds by grunting in her sleep. He quietly observes her sleeping face and caresses her cheeks. He rubs his thumb on her lips. This girl keeps meeting creatures that are not human. What did she meet this time? How can he protect this woman if he is this weak?

"Jun..." Fang Aisa murmurs in her sleep. "Jun."

"I am here." He whispers in her ear.

"When will you come back?" She wraps her arms around his neck and asks in a sleepy voice. He can't understand what she is speaking about. He pinches her soft cheeks and says, "Fang Aisa, wake up."

Fang Aisa grumbles in annoyance and half opens her eyes. Her mind is in a drunken state. She glares at Sung Jun and bites his lower lip.

Sung Jun is too surprised to react.

"You are mine." Fang Aisa proclaims. "Sung Jun, even if you have broken my heart, you are mine. Understand? In this lifetime, I will chop your little man into a thousand pieces if you dare to look at another woman or leave me again."

Sung Jun opens his mouth, but the little devil kisses him again. She forced her tongue into his mouth and takes full advantage of his shocked state. Fang Aisa gets angry when he tries to push her away and kiss him harder.

He holds her jaw away from his face and scolds, "Fang Aisa, don't play with fire."

"If you are fire, then I am oxygen." She slurs and grips his collar. "You are my gigolo, understand? These marks on your lips are my seals. When they disappear, I will make them again. I will see what that Korean woman can do. I will punish you in this lifetime by keeping you away from that woman."

"Who is that woman?" He sniffs her breath to check if she is drunk.

"Your fiancee...the woman you married." She tightly holds Sung Jun's arm. "Jun, is she prettier than me? Is she richer than me? Is she feminine? Can she walk like a model in heels? Did you feel nothing toward me?"

He sits down next to her and quietly listens to her questions. He doesn't have an answer. He looks into her drunken watery eyes that shine brighter than the sun. Her skin is soft as cotton. Her cheeks are blushing red. Her lips are red and enticing.

"Aisa, you are the only one for me." He puts the lock of pink hair behind her ear. "You will always be the one for me. I won't ever recognize anyone else as my girl."
