The Love That Remains

Chapter 18: Is she into kinky stuff



Sung Jun returns home and finds his friend lying on the couch. His mother is not at home. His friend is watching the comedy show and laughing like an idiot. He doesn't even notice Sung Jun standing behind him quietly. Sung Jun smacks his oblivious friend's blonde head.

His friends fall off the couch and cry out in pain. He glares at Sung Jun. When he can't win at the glaring game, he pouts and makes a face.

"I have been here for four days." He sits on the floor cross-legged. "I didn't even see your shadow. You suddenly appear and hit me. When I asked aunty, she said that you are with your future wife. Who is this sister in law of mine?"

Sung Jun says nothing. He goes into his room and shuts the door. After twenty minutes, he returns after a bath.

"I am not getting up until you tell me about my future sister in law." His friend yells when Sung Jun ignores him and goes to the kitchen. "When did you become a gigolo? Did my future sister in law agree to let you sell yourself? I thought that you were asexual."

"Jae, shut up."

Bae Jaemin crosses his arms over his chest. "I have been harassed for days after you left. Who told you to be handsome and rich? Your father made my life hell. Say, am I not your cousin? Aren't we friends? "

"First, decide whether you are my friend or cousin." Sung Jun sits down at the couch while taking a bite from the apple.

"Jun, I am glad to see you." Bae Jaemin changes his tune and hugs Jun's knees with tears in his eyes.

"You don't know how I spent each day of my life after you left. Your fangirls are super scary. They bullied me every day. Once they stole my clothes when I was at the swimming pool. Other time, they tried to break into my apartment. In particular, In-ha is crazy. "

Sung Jun shrugs nonchalantly.

"Your father is crazy, Jun. He gave me the night shifts. Would anyone believe that he is related to me?"

"I don't think that he cares." Sung Jun's words are not without reasons. Bae Jaemin is Sung Jun's distant cousin. Bae Jaemin's mother is a niece of Sung Jun's grandfather. Sung Jun is sure that his father doesn't even care about this relation.

Bae Jaemin doesn't care about it either. He is three years older than Sung Jun, but they are practically raised together because of Bae Jaemin's mother. She wants Sung Jun and Bae Jaemin to become close. Though his mother's motives are selfish, Bae Jaemin genuinely cares about his friend.

"Jun, why did you leave me? Am I not your friend? I always had your back. Why did you leave me there and became a gigolo here? Are you showing your hidden side after leaving Seoul?"

Sung Jun stands up abruptly and kicks his stomach. "You are not allowed to call me that."

"Everyone on the internet is calling you that." Bae Jaemin retaliates.

"Who is that daredevil? Does future sister in law knows her?"

"They are the same person." He takes another bite from the apple. He is feeling bitter and frustrated. Her empty eyes scared him at that time. She responded after hours. At that time, he was scared to death. He never felt that helpless.

He can't understand why he is worried about a crazy girl like this.

What's she doing now? Is she still crying? What if the ghosts are troubling her at her home? Han Soo has exorcised the ghosts around her house, but there are always random ghosts appearing out of nowhere.

"How come?" Bae Jaemin doesn't notice the changes in Sung Jun's face. "Is she into kinky stuff?"

He gets another kick from Sung Jun.

"Why would she try to make you her gigolo when you are her boyfriend?" He lies flat on his back and rubs the place where Sung Jun's kicked. He is too interested in gossip to care about the pain.

Sung Jun sighs and says, "She tricked me."

"Tricked?" Bae Jaemin thumps up. "My future sister in law is something. She has my approval if she can outwit a person like you."

"Did you bring the information?" He changes the topic.

"The story of the Fang family is not anything new. There was evil and insane sorcerer once. He committed a lot of atrocities. Later, he was killed by a great Taoist master." Bae Jaemin makes a serious face.

"The story doesn't end there. That black wizard had a son. The great Taoist master sealed the child's powers. The Fang family of H city is the descendant of that evil sorcerer. Over the years, the council noticed that only one child of each generation inherits the sorcerer's powers along with the seal."

Sung Jun didn't have to guess that Fang Qi and Fang Aisa are the ones who inherited the dark sorcerer's powers.

"Twenty years ago, the last descendant went through a life and death experience during a trip. The seal was broken at that time. Since then, he can see ghosts."

Sung Jun intently listens. He finds it odd, but he doesn't question Bae Jaemin.

"Thankfully, he is the last one. His son didn't inherit the dark sorcerer's blood."

Sung Jun frowns slightly. Fang Qi has two children. Fang Aisa obviously has the ability to see and touch ghosts.

"Good riddance!" Bae Jaemin stretches his arms. "The council are paranoid about these people. We can never tell when the seal is broken and they join the dark side."

"He has two children."

"No, Fang Qi has only one son. That's what the records show." Bae Jaemin brings out his tablet and taps a few times on the screen. "See, Fang Qi only has one son. His name is Fang Rui."

Sung Jun speaks nothing as he eyes the screen. This is odd. Why would council hide this information?
