The Love That Remains

I feel like a truck ran over my body .

My head is still groggy when I realise that I have four arms . I can move two, but the other two arms are holding me tightly . Wait, these are not my arms . I can"t have four arms .

c.r.a.p!

This pain is strangely familiar .

I realise that there is a man behind me . His "something" is probing me from behind . His one leg is wrapped over mine, using me as a pillow . Did I sleep with someone? Did I sleep with Cai Xuan? No! Anybody but that man with countless STDs .

Suddenly, the man lets me go and rolls over . I can breathe now . I sit up and take a peek at his face . It"s better not be Cai Xuan . If it"s him, I will make sure that he never uses his male part again .

He looks like Sung Jun . I slap my face and look again . It is still Sung Jun . Why him? The history keeps repeating . Of all the people in the world, why is it him again? How did he find me? At least, it"s not Cai Xuan . I am both relieved and scared . Did he use protection? Will I get pregnant again? No!

I notice the red marks on his body . His back is full of scratches . I look at my nails . Did I do it? Was I that desperate? I can"t remember a single thing . I check my body . My body is full of bruises and love bites . He did whatever he wanted, didn"t he?

That"s not the worst part . What will I do when he wakes up? I must leave before he wakes up . I can"t be with him anyway . I will ask Reis to get me another ident.i.ty . I will leave this country . I have enough money to get plastic surgery .

I climb down from the bed . My dress and shoes are thrown in the corner . I silently cuss at Sung Jun for eating me like a wolf . Even walking is a ch.o.r.e . Did he not know that I was a virgin? I wear my dress and mentally curse his ancestors . I grab my shoes and walks on my toes . I freeze when I hear him moan in his sleep . I turn around to see whether he is awake . He is still asleep .

I resume my walk of shame on my toes . When I reach the door, I take a glance at his sleeping form . Reis is right about one thing . Fate is cruel .

I find the door locked . He did it intentionally .

"You are awake?"

I don"t want to turn around .

"Eshe Yu?"

My shoes fall on the ground . I frown and look at him, fully exhibiting his body on the bed . Why is he looking at me like that? Did he not recognise me?

"My name is Sung Jun . " He grins at me . "You look just like my dead fiance . "

***

As expected, Fang Aisa pretends not to know him .

He wasn"t asleep when she woke up or when she was trying to squirm out of bed . He wasn"t asleep when she put on the dress or peeped at him to see if he was asleep . He was not asleep when she tried to escape .

He can tell that she doesn"t remember last night . She can only guess what happened last night between them . She will never accept that she is Fang Aisa . Even if he forces her to, she will find a way to escape .

"Eshe Yu?" She stops when she hears him . She turns around stiffly . In her eyes, emotions run rampant . Sung Jun feels a sadness in his heart and says, "My name is Sung Jun . You look just like my dead fiance . "

She is surprised and confused . "Your fiance?" Her eyes wander to his lower body once before she looks away at the ceiling .

"Her name was Fang Aisa . " He doesn"t cover himself despite the obvious flush on her face . "She died eight years ago . "

She isn"t fidgeting anymore . She tries to hide her emotions, but he can see them clearly . Her face is calm, but her hands are forming fists . "I see . "

"Do you want to leave now?" He asks quietly . She is pretending to be Eshe Yu . He is pretending to believe that Fang Aisa is dead . It"s a game between them now .

"Yes . . . the door is locked . " There is awkwardness in her voice . "How did we meet?"

"You b.u.mped into me and asked me for one night stand . " He blurts out .

She covers her face . "I am sorry . I was drunk yesterday night . "

"It"s okay . " He stands up and covers himself with the bedsheet . "I was drunk too . I thought that you were my fiance . But the dead can"t come back to life . Besides, you are different from her . "

She blinks at him hard . "How am I different?"

"My fiance was a flat board . " He is satisfied to see the colour drain from her face . "You are prettier than her . "I feel like a truck ran over my body .
