The Love That Remains

Chapter 42: I will marry a gangster wife

[Eight Years Ago]

Bae Jaemin is lost for words when they reach the address that Park In Ha sent. It's a rundown shop on one of the busiest streets in S city. The shop has a red banner with huge silver words printed on it.

After reading it thrice, Bae Jaemin thinks that it is a scam and they should get the hell out of this place.

"We should check it out once." Sung Jun's eyes are clear and resolved.

"I don't feel anything." Bae Jaemin can't believe that a god can scam people like this. The place is plain, lacking any heavenly aura. "God of marriage is rich and moody. In any case, he won't live in a house with a roof that can fall at any second."

Honestly, he believes that even walking into that shop is risky because it can collapse at any time.

"He could be hiding his aura." Sung Jun walks into the shop without a second thought. Bae Jaemin follows him. He can't let his brother get scammed by anyone.

When they enter the shop, they find is cleaner and well kept. The decoration is simple and old styled. There is a table in the middle of the room. A silver-haired old man with a long silver beard is sitting behind the table and...snoring.

Sung Jun raps the table several times, but there is no response. He picks up the jar of wine from the table and pours it on the old man. The old man wakes up with a jolt. He looks to the right and left. Then, he looks up at Sung Jun holding the jar, pouring the wine on him to the last drop

He raises his silver brows. "You are here again?"

"I am here for the first time." Sung Jun narrows his eyes at the old man. "You are the god of marriage?"

"I am." The old man yawns and scratches his head. "Those two...the time has already changed. I am so tired. I have to rewrite the marriage names again."

Sung Jun takes a seat without asking. Bae Jaemin also takes a seat. He still can't believe that they have really found the god of marriage. The halo behind the old man belongs to a god.

"That boy went too far this time." God of marriage mumbles to himself. "I am too old. No pity! No Pity!"

Sung Jun and Bae Jaemin are quiet. Gods are always unpredictable. Bae Jaemin is cussing Sung Jun in his head. Why did he use that method to wake a god? What kind of personal use such method on a god? His brother is a fool.

"I don't like you." God of marriage points at Sung Jun. "You are a fool. Why do you seek that woman? I can give you a good wife."

"Only her." Sung Jun's reply is short.

"Tsk! Fool." Suddenly, a piece of red paper appears in the hands of God of marriage. He thrusts the seal on the paper and signs it clumsily. "Leave now. I don't want to see your face."

"Don't you want something in return?" Bae Jaemin dares to ask. He doesn't want his brother to be in a debt with a god. Who knows when this old man comes back and asks for something?

The god of marriage holds up his hands. "He already paid."

Sung Jun is confused. "When did I pay you?"

"Humans forget, but the gods remember." The god of marriage speaks in an ominous tone. "Before the god of time turned back time, you met me just like today. Although, you were older. You wanted to meet this woman again in your next lifetime and marry her."

Sung Jun and Bae Jaemin turn quiet. The god of time turned back the time. It is huge news. They didn't hear anything like this in the supernatural world. Only gods are unaffected by events like this.

"He turned back time. You got another chance just like your wife." The god of marriage is distant like he is looking ahead at some other era. "She had to bear a huge burden."

The audience is more confused. What burden?

The god of marriage suddenly laughs and looks at Bae Jaemin. "The woman with the red hair and sharp blade will be your wife."

Bae Jaemin opens his mouth and then, closes again. He knows this woman and yes, he likes her. But things are not like that. Having a god of marriage tell it to him without any warning is hard to accept.

"Our debt is clear." The god of marriage turns to Sung Jun. "Leave. I don't want to see your face again."

"What did you mean by burden?" Sung Jun probes.

"When you meet her, ask her yourself." The god of marriage scowls at Sung Jun. His patience is running out. He waves his hands. In the next instant, Sung Jun and Bae Jaemin find themselves back in the apartment in H city.

Traveled from S city to H city just like that.

"I will marry Wang Mei..." Bae Jaemin is still in shock. Sung Jun sighs.

"I will marry a gangster wife." Bae Jaemin is hyperventilating.

"...."

"I am such a lucky man."
