The Love That Remains

Chapter 51: Yet, you are still hopeless

Sung Jun senses the link between Fang Aisa and him growing stronger as he drives. It's a good idea to place a spiritual imprint on his wife who appears to be running away a lot. It seems like she hasn't realized it or she can't remove it yet.

Even if she removes it, there is another link between them. Sung Jun is rather prepared for any consequence. He has made sure that he can track her easily if she decides to disappear. First, the spiritual imprint. Then, the fact that they are married by the god of marriage himself. Because he is quite good at what he does for a living, tracing her using the marriage between is also easy. Last, he registered her as a special human at the council. Because he is a member of the council of supernatural extent, he can find her easily. Though the status must be changed now since she is a witch. He isn't exactly his wife's choices for her profession, but he can do nothing but accept.

Besides, he needs to find her before the council or his father makes a move. Dabria must have found out by now. He doubts that the god will let any harm come to her as long as he needs her. But he can't rest until she is in front of his eyes.

She gets weird ideas all the times and chooses to run away from him rather than share her ideas.

Suddenly, a familiar song plays on the radio. He has heard it a lot of time before. He heard Fang Aisa sing this song on the street once. She seemed quite smug while singing this song with strange lyrics. He always recalls her funny expression when he hears this song.

[Ring!Ring!Ring! I have loved you for seven days...I will love you for seven more...Then we will part ways...But I miss you anyway...I want you anyway...I have loved you for seven days...]

This song was released six years ago. When he heard it for the first time, he thought that it was a coincidence. After seeing Fang Aisa again, he can connect the dots.

Her actions. Her odd words. Her hate. Her love. Her Anger. Her choices.

He is rather sure now.

Since she is not going to tell him anyway, he will find out himself.

Sung Jun finds them just at the outskirt of the city. The white-haired god has been expecting him. He steps out of the car and heads toward the sleeping Fang Aisa. After seeing her, he feels relieved. The god doesn't stop him or say a word.

Fang Aisa wakes up as soon as he touches her shoulder. She stares at him with her dark eyes and then, wraps her arms around his neck. He hugs her back and plants a kiss on her head. She takes several long breaths as if she is trying to calm herself down.

"Aisa...let's go home." He whispers in her ear. He doesn't care about gods or demons. He just wants her with him. The past or future doesn't matter. The will of the gods doesn't matter.

Fang Aisa's eyes are full of sorrows when she kisses him on his cheek. She gives him a faint smile. She takes his hand and gets out of the car. Then, she walks to the god and slaps him hard.

"You deserve it, Reis." Her voice is empty and quiet.

Sung Jun drags her away from the spot and activates a spiritual shield around them. He is ready to attack the god in case he attacks them. He has no idea what happened between Fang Aisa and the god, but he will kill a god if she wants.

"Tch!" The god lets out an eerie laugh. He watches them with his yellow and blue eyes. "You dare to be mad at me?"

"You should have shown everything to me that day." Fang Aisa yells aloud.

"If I did, then what?" The god glances at Sung Jun. "Choose this idiot? He is a useless one. Isn't he the reason behind the death of your and your unborn child? How can you still let him hold you after what happened in your previous life?"

Sung Jun is frozen when the words hit him.

"It's not his fault." Fang Aisa doesn't look at Sung Jun. She is too angry to take any notice. She steps closer to the god and curls her fingers into fists. "He didn't know anything."

"He didn't know anything." The god repeats her words and smiles coldly. "Woman, I gave you a new life. I have a chance that people die wishing for. You got to turn back time and restart your life again. Yet, you are still hopeless."
