Chapter 148: You should get married before I do
For the first time, both parents are playing with her. Little Hae is happy. She even forgets about calling Jae Hyun. Kyuri's parents also notice this. They nod to each other. Things are finally progressing between Si An and Kyuri.
Kyuri's father grunts. "The youngsters were just being stubborn."
"Aigoo!" Kyuri's mother makes a face. "This is what they say... courting."
"If that's courting, then I might as well grow a second head." Kyuri's father walks back to the living room. "These idiots do not know the meaning of romance."
"Where do you think that she got it from?" Kyuri's mother scowls at him. "Do you have a romantic gene in you? I am surprised how Ki Hoon managed to get married."
"They got the looks." Kyuri's father smirks at her. "Didn't you fall for me because of my looks?"
"My first and last mistake." Kyuri's mother walks ahead of him. "I only saw the appearance and forgot to check the heart."
"What's wrong with my heart?" Kyuri's father frowns at her.
"Did you give me a flower in our 30 years of marriage?" She squints at him in anger.
"I am sure that..." He tries to recall. "I gave you lilies once."
"That was when my grandmother died. It was even before our marriage." Kyuri's mother scoffs and walks away from him. "Why did I marry this man? I should have married the man my father chose for me."
"I should have married my childhood friend," Kyuri's father yells after her. "Why did I marry this woman?"

Inside Little Hae's room~
"Mommy, are grandpa and grandma fighting?" Little Hae asks with worry.
"They are not." Kyuri chuckles. Though Kyuri's parents don't fight usually, they do become like this once in a year. "They are just playing, Little Hae."
Little Hae doesn't ask more. She concentrates on the puzzle again. She loves completely puzzle pictures the most.
"Is this okay?" Si An has never seen Kyuri parents argue like this.
"It's alright," Kyuri assures him. "They become like this once in a while. They always make up before sleep."
"Can we also make this promise?" Kang Si An asks hesitantly. "We will always make up before we sleep."
Kyuri meets his gaze. "I never keep promises though."
Kang Si An's lips curl up. He's glad that she can't keep promises. "I will keep it. I will always make up with you before we go to sleep."
"Even if I am at fault?" She raises her brow, eyeing him warily.
"Even if you are at fault." Kang Si An doesn't think that they will have reasons to be mad at each other. He has memories of Li Jun when they were married in the original timeline. Even if it was short, they were happy. "I have to think about my proposal."
"Make it grand," Kyuri demands shamelessly. "You have been popular for failed suicide attempts. I want you to become popular for the marriage proposal. Do it in a way that the whole world knows it. Everyone should be aware that the nation's romance prince is officially becoming mine."
She has never been like this toward Young Hwa. Toward Kang Si An, she doesn't feel like it's wrong. They both know that they might not see the sunrise tomorrow.
"Noted." Kang Si An nods happily and grins.
"Post a reason why you love me every day on social media," Kyuri tells him while looking up at the ceiling. She read his apologies on his social media after she came back. After reading those, she realized how much he had regretted it every day.
"Surely." He has countless reasons. "Tell me more."
"If Little Hae gives her approval, I want to have a western-style wedding."
They had a traditional wedding once.
"Little Hae already approves." Little Hae, who's been listening to her parents while doing the puzzle, suddenly utters. "Little Hae wants a chocolate wedding cake."
Kyuri rolls her eyes. "You just want to eat the wedding cake."
"You shouldn't worry about that, Mommy." She looks at her parents. "You should get married before I do."
"..." Both Kyuri and Si An are turned speechless. Did they just get taunted?
After the jovial dinner, Si An and Kyuri lie down on the bed with Little Hae between them. They pat her to sleep. Little Hae falls into dreams while holding their hands.
She looks at the clock. "It's time."
They kiss Little Hae's cheeks and leave the house together. While driving, Kang Si An continues to ask her what she wants and how she wants him to court her. She also replies without any hesitation.
"Do all the sweet things that you did to the girls in your dramas." She thinks harder. "The piggyback ride... did you ever give me one?"
"I carried you in princess style, I think." Kang Si An bursts into laughter. "You should give me a piggyback ride."
"You are too tall and heavy for me." Kyuri doesn't mind giving him one, but the reality is harsh. "I am not physically strong. Blame the time-crystal."
"Fine." He gives in. "It's not like I can say no."
"I want to date you before we get married. I want to know how it's like to date a celebrity before I am hitched."
"But we already dated once..."
"Those were messy times. Can we consider that dating? I was your fake girlfriend."
"Okay, Okay." Kang Si An can't help but find it amusing. She has a lot of wishes. "How long do you want to date?"
"At least a year."
"A year is too long."
"How is it long? It's less than a thousand years."
"Can't we pretend as girlfriend and boyfriend after we get married?"
Kyuri grins ear to ear. "If that's the case, we don't have to get married. We have been married for more than a thousand years. We already have a daughter. We can start pretending now."
Kang Si An bites his tongue. She's using his words against his.
"But I married Li Jun." She winks at him slyly. "So, I don't mind having a hot extramarital affair with you."
"..."
He can never win against her.
