The Love That Remains

[Eight Years LaterVenue: Hotel Room]

Sung Jun skips the details, but he tells her about how he got the marriage certificate and how he got her signatures on doc.u.ments for their marriage registration with the council when she was drunk . He also mentions how the council had to approve their marriage because of the certificate from the G.o.d of marriage . How their marriage was automatically registered in the human world because of their registration with the council . Finally, the marriage dates different because humans cannot legally get married before eighteen .

Finally, he tells her about her mother to see her reaction . But Fang Aisa is oddly quiet . She isn"t surprised at all . She isn"t angry either . She is calm . She probably already knows about her mother .

Too calm for his likings .

"Wife, are you angry?" He asks . He cannot see her expression . Her head is low . It feels like she is emitting hot angry waves from her body . It is probably not a good question to ask an already angry woman .

Suddenly, she gets up and lifts the chair over her head . She tosses it in Sung Jun"s direction .

He leaps to his right, narrowing escaping a "his near death" thanks to quick reflex . He can barely manage to understand what"s going on before his angry wife picks up the table like it weighs nothing and throws it in his direction .

He escapes his death again . His forehead beads with perspiration . His wife is rather violent .

He smiles at her brightly . "Wife, are we having our first marital fight?"

Fang Aisa suddenly squats down and covers her head with her hands . She doesn"t move or speak . He ruffles her hair and waits .

"You are an idiot . "

"For you . "

"So cheesy . " She peeks at him . "Jun, are you out of your mind? You should have lived on happily without me . You and I stand on the other ends of the spectrum . You are a freaking shaman and I am the daughter of an evil wanted witch . "

"Is that why you left?" He c.o.c.ks his head . "Did that G.o.d tell you these things?"

She hides her face again and doesn"t answer him . He pats her head lightly . Her anger is long gone .

"Did you make a deal with that G.o.d to take your father"s curse away?"

Fang Aisa glances sideways . "I did, but he didn"t force me . "

"He?" He stops smiling abruptly . "It"s a male G.o.d?"

She blinks at him at the sudden change . A chill runs down her spine . "He is a male cat most of the times, but he can take human forms . He is stuck in cat form because of the G.o.d of fate . G.o.d of time and G.o.d of fate have an old feud . "

"You left me and spent eight years with a G.o.d?" He takes her face in his palms . He looks into her eyes .

Fang Aisa furrows her brows and wonders why he is looking at her like that . It is sort of scary . "Yes . "

"Good . . . Good . . . " He pinches her cheeks . "My wife was cheating on me . "

Just as he speaks this words, the grey thundering clouds suddenly show up with lightenings ready to strike them at any moment . Sung Jun stands up and crosses his arm . He looks down at her like an emperor who is ready to command an execution . Fang Aisa is frightened .

"Jun, we have to get out of here . " When she tries to get up, a lightning strikes the empty floor . She shrieks and wraps her arms around his waist . "It"s the apocalypse, isn"t?"

He is partly smug that she is clinging on him and partly vexed because she stayed with a male G.o.d for eight years while leaving him alone like that .

"This is the punishment by the G.o.d of marriage for not fulfilling your duties as a wife and cheating on me for the last eight years . " His cold voice adds the required dread in the air .

"What nonsense are you sprouting?" She yells at him . It looks like the clouds are getting angrier with time . "We should be escaping by now . "

"They won"t go away . They are here for you . " He narrows her eyes at her . "They are sent by the G.o.d of marriage . "

This man has lost his head . Fang Aisa gathers her courage and points at him .

"Sung Jun, I didn"t even know that I was married . This is unfair . Why are there clouds inside our room? It should be me punis.h.i.+ng you and your G.o.d of marriage for marrying us without my permission . "

As soon as she speaks the logical words, the clouds disappear like they were never there in the first place . Fang Aisa let go of Sung Jun and glares at him . He can"t help but feel displeased anyway . It"s not like he would let her get harmed, but it would have been fun if they stayed for a while longer . He is still jealous and annoyed by the fact that a male G.o.d stole her from him and was with her for the last eight years instead of him . Well, he would be with her from now on .

"I guess, I should be the one disciplining my wife .
