The Love That Remains

Just at that moment, the door is shoved open. Sung Jun furrows his brows and puts down Fang Aisa. He stands in front of her, trying to shield her from the views of the uninvited guests.

"Brother, I am sorry." Bae Jaemin looks at him with tearful eyes. "I tried to...keep this a secret as long as I could."

Sung Jun sighs. Bae Jaemin found out about Fang Aisa when he sent the documents to the council. It is not like it could remain a secret forever. Though Park Inha, Bae Jaemin and others have helped him registering the marriage secretly, his father must have found out by now.

"Fang Aisa!" Behind Bae Jaemin, a woman with bright red hair, dressed in a black sweatsuit, barges in and roars madly, "I will kill you."

"Crap!" Fang Aisa shouts aloud and pushes Sung Jun away as Wang Mei runs in their direction with a familiar sword. She dodges Wang Mei's not-so-hesitant attack and runs to the right. Sung Jun lets out slight sigh when he watches a raging Wang Mei chasing Fang Aisa around and destroying the hotel room.

"Are you not going to stop them?" Bae Jaemin questions Sung Jun.

Before Sung Jun can open his mouth to reply, Fang Aisa dashes out of the room with Wang Mei on her tail.

Bae Jaemin blankly stares at the door. His wife is gone. His sister in law is gone. Sung Jun scowls at him darkly and cracks his knuckles.

Bae Jaemin notices the room. Broken furniture. It's like there was a tornado here a while ago.

Bae Jaemin has a lot of questions, but he doesn't dare to ask them when he sees Sung Jun's expressions.

Wang Mei pursues the fleeing figure in and white robe. There is only blood in her head. She is going to kill Fang Aisa today. Nothing can stop her.

Bae Jaemin has been acting suspiciously for last three days. He has been avoiding her. She has been worried. He wouldn't open his mouth no matter what she did. Last night, he finally told her after she warned him that she would divorce him if he didn't speak. After learning the truth, she immediately left her house. Though Sung Jun is good at hiding, she is not without means to find him.

Wang Mei's people have surrounded the hotel. There is no escape. She laughs like a lunatic. Today, Fang Aisa has to answer.

"Fang Aisa, you can't run away this time." Wang Mei yells in victory.

Fang Aisa stops and turns around. There is a little smirk on her proud face. "Wang Mei, you have turned out well."

It doesn't help with the situation. Wang Mei is bitter. She attempts to slash Fang Aisa in half, but Fang Aisa avoids it by an inch. The smile doesn't leave her lips. It adds to Wang Mei's wrath.

"Wife, please stop. You can't kill her." Bae Jaemin's voice rings in the hallway.

Fang Aisa chuckles and shakes her head. She runs toward the window and climbs over. Before she jumps down, she waves at Wang Mei and says cheerfully, "Time to go. Thanks for the help, Wang Mei."

Wang Mei runs to the window, but there is nobody below. Her people are still standing down there with a blank expression. It is like Fang Aisa disappeared out of the air.

"What the hell!" She strikes the wall. "How come people disappear like that?"

"Magic." Sung Jun leisurely walks behind them. He is dressed in casual clothes. "My wife is a witch."

"What?" Wang Mei asks with mixed emotions. "Witch?"

"She couldn't use it in the room because of me." Sung Jun looks down from the window. "The room has a barrier that cancels the dark magic."

"That's not good," Bae Jaemin says with a complicated expression. "The council will never accept her."

There is a faint smile on Sung Jun's lips. His honey brown eyes shine in amusement. "She is my wife. Whether they like it or not, they have to accept her."

"But...where did she go?" Wang Mei takes a deep breath. She is still angry and itching to beat the crap out of someone. Of course, her target ran away. She glances at Sung Jun. How dare he hide that Fang Aisa is alive for so many days?

Sung Jun shrugs his shoulder in a non-nonchalant way. He can feel the heat rays coming from Wang Mei, but he disregards her. He knows that she will never attack him. There is a tacit agreement between them.

"Can she really leave like that this time?" He mumbles as he walks away from the window. "Let's see where you can hide, Fang Aisa."
