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

Chapter 157: Epilogue 3.4: Purgatory

Somehow, it feels like it's her fault that she died too early. Wakana bites her lower lip. Well, it's her fault. What is happening in the world anyway? Martha walks away from them. She needs to attend to other ghosts.

Kwon Kyuri narrows her eyes on Martha. Once the reaper is away, she turns to Wakana. "Did you hear that? Si An has already taken birth. He's waiting for me."

"I did hear that." Wakana gives her an awkward smile. "But you can't leave."

"Of course, I shouldn't leave." Kwon Kyuri's voice is low. She leans forward and whispers to Wakana, "But I have to leave. Do you think that I can wait here until hell is reconstructed? What would become of my Si An? What if he finds another woman?"

Wakana knits her brows. "Didn't he promise you that he won't be interested in any other woman?"

Kyuri rolls her eyes. "He won't even remember that promise."

"That's true." Wakana wonders what Minho is doing. What would happen if she takes rebirth? She won't remember Choi Minho or anyone else. "Then, what are you going to do?"

"Knowing how stubborn he is" Kyuri giggles. "He's certainly going to practice celibacy if he doesn't meet me. I can't let him suffer too much."

Didn't she say that she wants Kang Si An to suffer a lot? Now, she's saying the opposite. Wakana can't get a grip on this woman's mind. Kwon Kyuri says one thing at one time and other things in the next instant.

"If he's already in the world I am supposed to be born in, then all I have to do is" Kyuri glances at the grey door and then, she looks down at the black ticket with the label VVVIP. "Keeper is going to hate me."

She's not thinking of doing that, right? Wakana follows her gaze. Beads of sweat form on her forehead. What would happen if Kwon Kyuri takes rebirth without purifying her soul in the hellfire?

"But" Kwon Kyuri raises her head and stares at Wakana. "Martha is keeping a watch on me."

Wakana looks around and finds Martha talking to the ghosts. The reaper keeps glancing at Kwon Kyuri. It's clear that Martha doesn't trust Kwon Kyuri.

"My husband will be alone" Kyuri takes a deep breath. "He might get seduced by another woman. Who knows? Since I won't be there anymore"

"You should let him get seduced." Wakana blurts out, "Find someone else."

"Argh!" Kyuri scowls at Wakana. "I know that he will keep his promise. Did you forget how he wouldn't die before I went to see him?"

"Then, why are you worried?" Wakana rolls her eyes. Isn't she just showing off? 

"He will be alone without me." Kyuri's eyes turn misty. "Imagine waiting for someone for near eternity It's just a long wait. He will be all alone. I can't let him suffer like that. Didn't we already suffer enough?"

Wakana licks her lips, thinking about Choi Minho. If he waits for her on planet earth while she's on some strange planet, how would they ever meet? Will he be sad? He will move on, right? What if he doesn't move on? Wouldn't he be lonely? But 

She looks at Kwon Kyuri. The time-traveller sniffles while holding her head.

Even now, this woman would risk being killed by the keeper because she doesn't want to leave Kang Si An alone.

What has she been doing for Choi Minho? Isn't he alone without her?

"Can't you help me?" Kyuri's voice is shaky. She blinks her eyes slowly at Wakana. "If you distract Martha, I can go through that door."

Wakana eyes Martha hesitantly.

"Please." Kyuri beseeches her, "If there ever comes a time when I can return this favour, I will return it for sure."

Will she even remember the favour? Wakana sighs. "Fine."

"Yay!" The sadness in Kyuri's eyes disappears instantly. She wraps her arms around Wakana to give her a hug. 

"Believe in yourself more. If you look within, you will find the answers that you are looking for."

But what are the questions? Wakana doesn't ask. She sees Martha coming toward them. "Kyuri, you should get prepared to leave. She's coming here."

"Yes." Kyuri whispers back, "Thank you, Wakana."

"Please have a happy life." Wakana wishes her before she gets up and walks to Martha.

"Is something wrong?" Martha gives a glance at Kwon Kyuri who smiles warmly at Martha when their gazes meet. Martha looks at Wakana. "Why aren't you taking the gate?" 

"I have a few questions about my abilities." Wakana stands in front of Martha, blocking her view of Kwon Kyuri. This is one of the moments when she can take advantage of her height. "I heard that soul guardian have magic too."

Martha exhales. "Yes, you do. But your channels are blocked by the gifts that you received from Choi Minjae. They are part of your soul now. Your soul magic hasn't been activated either. Even if they get activated, you won't be able to use magic in the traditional way."

"Really?" Wakana is interested to hear more. "How do I activate my soul magic?"

"Actually, I don't know how you can activate your magic. I need to ask the higher depa--" Martha tilts her head to look at Kwon Kyuri. She finds the seat empty. Martha pushes Wakana aside and looks around for Kyuri. 

Kwon Kyuri, who has managed to sneak away, opens the grey door with an excited look in her eyes.

"NO!" Martha screams, rushing toward Kwon Kyuri. Before she could grab Kyuri's arm, Kyuri slips away and jumps into the next world. The light of that world engulfs Kyuri's soul. There are loud shouts. Even the ghosts are startled. Taking that chance, Wakana runs toward the door that leads to the bridge. 

After talking to Kwon Kyuri, she has decided not to take rebirth.

Besides, wasn't there a prophecy? She's supposed to meet Choi Minho on the hospital roof.

She hasn't figured out whether she loves him or not. She has no idea whether she's the right person for him.

But Kwon Kyuri would still choose Kang Si An. The time-traveller would risk everything to be with Kang Si An again. She wouldn't leave Kang Si An alone in a strange world.

Then, how could she leave Minho alone? He's been following her since the age of ten. If he has moved on by now, she would be glad. Nevertheless, she needs to check on him.

Wakana opens the door to the bridge and flounces out of the purgatory hall.
