157 When you are worried about hurting her (1/2)
”Ms Fang, where are we going?” Klyn looks at the hand that's holding his, walking through the narrow streets of an unknown world. The otherworldly creatures don't pay any attention to them as if they are invisible to them. Surely, it is this woman's doing. Just who is she?
The strangest part is that they are from the same world. How could he never hear about her? She's a pretty, vivacious, and cute in some ways.
Whenever she looks at him, he finds something familiar about her. He can't pinpoint what it is. Her smile reminds him of a certain someone.
It's the damn bond. Klyn shakes away his thoughts. He is merely attracted to Sung Na-Mi. She's beautiful, but it can never happen between them. He doesn't want to lose his free life.
”We are going on a date.” Fang Aisa tells him with a cheerful tone, ”Are you fine dating someone who is already married?”
Klyn hasn't dated a married woman yet. He did date some women who were already in a relationship. Dating a married woman with children is a little… But there's something that he finds intriguing about this woman. ”Ms Fang, how about we become friends first?”
”Friends?” She looks at him, surprised.
”Ms Fang, I am a playboy.” He lets go of her hand. Will he always think about a certain someone when he holds another woman? It's not like he's in love with Sung Na-Mi. He likes her a lot. ”I know that you are upset with your husband, but I am against having affairs with women who are only wavering for a moment.”
”A wavering heart doesn't qualify for you?” Fang Aisa finds him interesting. ”If my heart is wavering, you should take advantage of it since you are a playboy.”
”I did take advantages of those wavering women in the past.” Klyn runs his fingers through his hair. ”Those women regretted it a lot after they took the step. They couldn't go back to the one they loved. Then, they blamed me for causing them to waver.” He pauses for a moment. ”I might have tempted them, but they knew what they were doing. Then, why should I be blamed? Honestly, they wouldn't be wavering if they were satisfied from the beginning. So, I don't mind playing with you if you leave your husband. But I don't want to take the blame for wreaking a home that is already breaking down on its own.”
The corner of her red lips curls up into a half-smile. She watches him intently. ”However, it's not my heart that is wavering right now. You are walking beside me with someone in your heart.”
He is unable to refute to those words. Someone is weighing in his heart. Sung Na-Mi's strange postures, her sunny smile, and her cool way of summoning the lightenings… the way her eyes shine when she's excited about something, her gloomy expressions or the pain that she showed for the souls when she looked at the energy pool, her efforts to stop the apocalypse, her fearless nature, and… the way she looked at him when he asked her out…
”Pretty one, come with me.” Fang Aisa grabs his hand again. ”I want to hear about the woman in your heart.”
”There's nothing much.” Klyn follows her anyway. ”I like her, but I don't love her. I don't want to be stuck beside her.”
”Why is that?” Fang Aisa enters a tent-bar with him. They sit opposite each other. After a few minutes, a hunchback demon comes and places two bottles of alcohol along with a bowl of marinated meat in front of them.
”To be honest, I wanted to date her.” Klyn takes a sip of the alcohol. It's so bitter that he even feels brain turning bitter. Is it poison? He looks at the woman who is drinking the alcohol with a mild smile in her eyes.
Fang Aisa eats a piece of marinated meat and gestures him to continue.
She's not a human. Why is he bothered about what she eats? He could sense dark energy throbbing in her aura. Her body can't hide the strength that she has. Something about her is dark and seductive, opposite of Sung Na-Mi. He keeps comparing her with that girl with a ponytail. ”She turned out to be my true mate. I left because I don't want to complete the bond with her. Rejecting her would bring enormous pain to both of us. I am a playboy. How could I stay with one woman for eternity?”
After a moment of silence, Fang Aisa says with a casual tone, ”I heard that sex is amazing for true mates.”
