The Love That Remains

I push Sung Jun away . I want to ask him . If your father suddenly blackmails you with me again, will you leave me?

Because I cannot change what I am . Can I?

Sung Jun looks hurt, but I steel my heart . I walk away from him . On my middle finger, I have a ring which is only visible to me . It was given to me by Reis once . It was supposed to help me control my dark powers and hide me away from the supernatural world . It helped me with my curse . I could not see ghosts or smell them . The ghosts were not attracted to me either .

When he took away Fang Qi"s curse, someone had to pay the price . He couldn"t take away my curse or didn"t want to . I would never know . I had known that he was selfish . But I am also selfish, aren"t I?

I chose to go with him anyway . One way or another, he would have taken me with him anyway . But the ghosts were troublesome . Though they wouldn"t come near me when he was there because they were afraid of him, they followed me around . At that time, he gave me this ring .

I don"t want it anymore . I take it off and throw it on the ground . The ring evaporates before it can touch the ground . I purse my lips . I didn"t see that coming .

The air around me turns dark . I can sense the ghosts and the other dark creatures . Good! I need this .

"Woman, you don"t know what is good for you . " Reis slaps his forehead . "Why would you take it off? It was one of its kind . The ring is summoned back by heaven . "

I don"t answer his questions . "I will fulfil the terms of the contract, but I need to finish something else first . "

"What are you thinking?" Reis steps closer to me . I shrug my shoulder and turn to Sung Jun .

"Let"s go home . "

Sung Jun is surprised, but he doesn"t ask me questions . He takes my hand and pulls me along with him . I look over my shoulder . Reis is standing alone, looking conflicted . Very human and fragile . I don"t understand this cat . I guess that I don"t care anymore .

I spend the next hours in a daze . We didn"t speak a word . I have no idea what"s on Sung Jun"s head . I should care . But I don"t .

At the airport, w.a.n.g Mei and Bae Jaemin meet us . I hug w.a.n.g Mei when I see her . After some hesitation, she hugs me back . She doesn"t ask me questions . On the flight, she sits next to me, holding my hand the whole time . I fall asleep while looking at the clouds .

When I wake up, I am drooling on Sung Jun"s s.h.i.+rt . I am embarra.s.sed . I drooled on his s.h.i.+rt during a flight .

He gives me a gentle smile and squeezes my hand . There is laughter in his eyes .

"I am sorry about this . " I wipe the drool off with my sleeves .

"Are you hungry?" He asks me softly .

"No . " I don"t meet his eyes .

"We will be in Seoul in fifteen minutes," He informs me .

"I think you will regret taking me there in future . "

"Will I?" Jun rubs his thumb in a circular manner on the back of my hand . The corners of his lips curl up . "If you are devising an evil plan, you should just tell me . I am a good strategist . "

" . . . . " That"s not what you are supposed to say . You know that I want to use you for something . Still . . . why are you taking me with you?

"If you want to overthrow the council, I can help you with that too . " He whispers in my ears . "If you want to hunt down Dabria, I can help you with that . " Then, he softly bites my earlobe . I catch the eyes of the flight attendant watching us . She turns her head away when her eyes meet mine . Her eyes clearly saying silently, "get a room!" .

I feel my face burn . We are on a flight . d.a.m.n you, Sung Jun!

"Wife, if you hate me and want to kill me, I won"t fight you . " I feel his mouth sucking my ear . I glare at him and try to push him away, but he puts his other arm on me to stop me from moving . His actions do not match his words . I want to kill him right now .

"I don"t hate you . " I am annoyed . Super annoyed . This guy is out of his mind . There are pa.s.sengers on this flight . "But I want to kill you, husband . " I grab his crotch and squeeze it hard . He let me go in that instant, surprised .

I smirk at him and whisper, "Behave . " I squeeze harder . I can"t but feel happy when I see his face contort in pain .I push Sung Jun away . I want to ask him . If your father suddenly blackmails you with me again, will you leave me? Because I cannot change what I am . Can I? Sung Jun looks hurt, but I steel my heart . I walk away from him .
