His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 12: Date who?

Manager Jeong looks angry, but I know that she is happy because I changed my mind. Kang Si An looks like he wants to kill me on the spot. At this moment, I can count more than a hundred reasons why he would kill me in the future. If I hang out with him more, he will have gazillions of reasons after six months. I have to disappear. How about I take a break from my college and go on a world tour? My bank balance is low. I can take a loan from my brother.

Maybe I should go to the military to serve my country.

No, living in the same country is a bad choice. I should go somewhere he would never come.

How about I make an underground hiding place? Should I go to the mountains? I need peace. Should I go to the monastery? Should I learn the martial art or hire bodyguards?

What should I do? How do I outsmart time and fate itself?

"Miss Kwon, I guess that you have changed your mind again." She appears too calm. "Can you tell me why?"

"I won't go to the cops." She can barely hide her excitement when she hears my words. "I don't want to attract attention. I don't want to see him again. Let's just...part ways and never see each other again."

"After everything that you did?" Kang Si An cracks his knuckles. "You want to run away?"

"Miss Kwon, I understand your feelings." She rubs her hands. "But, we can't trust you."

"It's your problem." I stand up, ready to leave this place and plan my disappearance. "Not mine."

"Wait." She comes to my side. "We can trust you legally."

I understand the meaning of her words. "Sure. Anything that makes you feel at ease."

"What are you doing, Manager Jeong?" Kang Si An eyes her disapprovingly. He is an idiot, isn't he? How could someone like him kill me? How could someone like me get murdered like him? The world is full of puzzles.

"Come with me." She grabs his arm and drags him along with her. She closes the door behind them.

"Manager Jeong?" Kang Si An doesn't understand the reason behind her behavior.

"Idiot." She flicks his forehead. "She changed her mind. Isn't that good for you?"

"Do you believe her?" He snorts. "She is fickle and manipulating. She fooled us before going to the station. She completely changed at the station. Someone like her isn't trustworthy."

"She is not trustworthy." Manager Jeong agrees with his words. "But, the legal words are. We will make sure that she signs a document that will prove you innocent if she changes her mind again."

"Will she sign?" He asks her with doubts. Manager Jeong's phone rings. It's from the director of the movie. She signals him to be quiet.

"Director Lee?" Manager Jeong's face becomes pale. "There is more to the story...Yes, I understand that you are...but, it's not...I understand that...Don't worry...Yes, true love is rare...Do people believe that?... Yes, it is true."

Kang Si An observes her changing expressions. He has a bad feeling about this. A very bad feeling. He has been keen on doing that movie. The female lead actress is pretty as a fairy. He has a crush on her. If they do a movie together, there is a chance to get closer.

"Don't worry, Director Lee. It is nothing. Kang Si An will understand." After a pause, she hangs up the phone and lets out a heavy sigh.

"Did I lose that movie?" Kang Si An knows that Director Lee is a moody person. The director had someone else in his mind, but it was Manager Jeong who convinced him that Kang Si An is perfect for the role. 'Our Tangled Destiny' is a historical romantic movie. In this, the male lead is a prince with a tragic history. One day, he meets a cross-dressing commoner. After a series of misadventures, they fall in love. It turns out that she is a spy. Nevertheless, it is a story that ends in tragedy.

"No." She presses the phone against her chest. "Director Lee confirmed it. He is impressed by your love story. He thinks that he made the right decision by choosing you. He is even thinking of signing you for his next movie."

"My love story?" He nearly chokes on his breath. "Manager Jeong, you are not talking about...?"

"Yes, he thinks that you are dating a commoner."

"I am fine," I tell my mother for the 100th time. "It was a misunderstanding...Are you already in the dorm?... Father came too...? Why?... Okay, I understand...Oh, grandma gave me pickles. Yes, I will bring them. Just wait for me... Yes... No, I am not dating that person... The journalists are lying... Yes, I should have beaten him up when he kissed me on my cheek... Yes, I should have slapped him... No, I can't date him... I am not lying. Mother, don't you think that your expectations are too high for someone like me? Can I date that creature? Can I date anyone? Me with my special gifts? I get it that you married father, but he is not like me... Ah, I don't want to fool anyone... Mother, I have bigger problems. Okay, I will talk to you after I come back."

Kang Si An and Manager Jeong enter the room. Manager Jeong is holding a document. I feel happy. Finally, I can go back home after this. Then, I will run away to somewhere far away.

"You can go after signing this." She puts down the document and the pen on the table. "Miss Kwon, do you really change your mind about dating him?"

"I don't want to force anyone." I sign the papers. "I don't like him either."

"I don't like you either," Kang Si An mutters. I raise my brows. That's good. We don't have to see each other. If you don't like me, don't come to kill me.

"Perfect." Manager Jeong checks the paper. "You have signed the contract. According to this, you will date him and become his fake girlfriend until the movie 'Our Tangled Destiny' is released."

"Yes, I would do that." I nod at her. Then, I realize that the words are wrong. "Date who? Signed what? Until when?"
