TIME TRAVEL:First Journey:Vampire Hunter - Chapter 144

Becky went to the kitchen. She wants to drink some hot water. Even though it was hot outside with the sun shining above the sky, bur Becky still could feel the freezing atmosphere around her.

Because she was very sensitive to cold temperatures and she easily gets sick when it’s too cold, Becky needs something to warm her body.

She was wearing a thick sweater to cover her petite body, it was not enough for her to warm up her body.

Becky wanted to drink some hot tea and thus, she went to every single cupboard to find a cup. Becky frowned in annoyance when she couldn’t find any cup at the lower cupboard. She looked up to the upper cupboard where the cup might be kept.

Becky tried to reach the cupboard door but her fingers couldn’t reach it. Even her longest finger also hasn’t reached the cupboard. Becky started tiptoeing but couldn’t reach. She jumped a little but still hopeless.

Becky couldn’t reach the cupboard.

Becky sighed in defeat. “Why would they put the cup up there, where it was impossible for people like me to reach. Damn you tall people!! This surely was bullying…!!!!” said Becky annoyingly.

Becky looked around to find chairs or anything to help her reach the upper cupboard.

Becky finds an average height of stool behind the kitchen table. Becky moved it under the cupboard where she wanted to reach. After making sure the stool is safe to climb on, Becky then stepped onto the stool slowly and carefully. She didn’t want to fall down onto the floor and caused other injuries.

After she successfully climbed on, she adjusted herself in the stool so that she can have the perfect balance. Becky then reached the cupboard to take a cup.

Suddenly, someone touched her waist from behind.

Becky was shocked.

She can feel the touch become more tight as the person is already putting his hands around Becky’s waist.

The next second she blinked, Becky already on the floor. She didn’t realize someone lifted her up from the stool and put her down on the floor.

Becky lifted up her head and saw Lyeon was looking at her with a worried face.

Lyeon pushed away the stool using his long and browny leg. “You could have been falling down if I didn’t put you down. What are you trying to reach up there?” asked Lyeon, still with his worried look on his handsome face.

Becky looked at where Lyeon put his hand and realized that she was still in his embrace. Becky quickly pulled Lyeon slightly. “I–I need a cup. But it was up there. So I don’t have any choice but to use this stool to get it.”

“But you could use some hell, don’t you? What if you slipped and you fell down?” Lyeon said again. He looked to the cupboard and he took a cup out from the cupboard.

Lyeon gives it to Becky.

“Thank you. But you don’t have to worry that much, Lyeon. I can do this myself,” said Becky.

Becky walked to the heater where it was already done heating a while ago. She started to make some hot tea.

Lyeon only watched Becky from where he stood. He leaned on the kitchen table while crossing his hands onto his chest. This cool side of him gives him another captivating scene.

But Becky didn’t spare a second glance at him. She was busy making herself tea.

After the tea was done, Becky feels like she was to eat some cookies too. So, she made her way again to find the cookies. Since she already searched all over the lower cupboard, Becky knows all the cookies are inside the upper cupboard.

With no choice, Becky looked at Lyeon, who was still watching her every movement. Lyeon stared at Becky as if he was waiting for Becky to say something.

“Could you… Could you please… Help me to get the cookies from inside one of these cupboards? I—I can’t reach it,” said Becky. A hot sensation feeling the atmosphere around Becky as she feels embarrassed right now. If only she was tall enough to get the cookies by herself, Becky wouldn’t need someone to help her.

Lyeon chuckled at how cute Becky acted to get his help. She talked like she did not need his help while her eyes were focused on somewhere else. Her cheeks were getting red and red each time she talked.

“Alright!” said Lyeon.

Lyeon opened all the cupboards to find the cookies. After he found the cookies at the third cupboard, Lyeon quickly gave it back to Becky.

“Thanks!”

Becky grabbed the cookie jar with a big smile on her face. After she grabbed her tea cup, along with the cookie jar, she went to the table.

Lyeon still followed where the girl went, even sitting next to her.

Becky looked at Lyeon and realized this man would not let her have her time alone. “Don’t you need to go?” asked Becky with a half sarcasm mixed within her voice.

“What!?” Lyeon asked a dump question to Becky.

“Shouldn’t you need to leave? You should be with Symantha right now,” said Becky again.

Upon hearing the name of another woman from Becky’s mouth, Lyeon’s face turned cold. He didn’t like Becky mentioning the other girl’s name when it was just the two of them.

Lyeon already reminded her last time but should he remind her again this time?

“Could you not have mentioned her when you were with me? What’s the point anyway?” said Lyeon lazily. Surely this topic is not one of his favourites at this time. He only wants to make this time worth just the two of them.

“Why not??? She was someone special to you… Like, she was a girlfriend to you, am I right?” Becky responded and quickly put a cookie inside her mouth.

“She is not my girlfriend. I have told you before, right? Why did you insist that she is my girlfriend?!”

“Because you guys always stay closed with each other,” Becky said, giving Lyeon her best reason.

“And you like it? You like to see me with Symantha every day??? You wouldn’t feel upset or disappointed about it?” asked Lyeon again.

Becky stayed silent. Her mind started to wander if she ever felt any feelings like what Lyeon has said just now. Has she ever felt disappointed about it? Has she ever felt upset about it?

So far, her mind says no..

But her heart says differently…

Becky wasn’t sure though, is she just imagined things or she just created the feeling so that she could feel happy about it…

“Why are you not answering?” asked Lyeon.

Becky shifted her gaze to Lyeon. She watched his eyes deeply as she was trying to find something she wanted to know but she found none. Becky was wondering what she wanted to find inside if that eyes too.

Slowly, Becky’s eyes moved down to Lyeon’s neck, where she saw a golden necklace with a peac.o.c.k pendant around his neck. Becky saw the same one before when she helped Mark to find his lost necklace.

She remembered Mark saying about the necklace having numbers at the back of the pendant. Since Mark was the ninth son, Mark has the number of nine at the back of the pendant.

Lyeon was the second son in their family so Becky thought that Lyeon’s pendant had the number of two at the back of the pendant.

“You have the same necklace as your brother, Mark,” said Becky.

Lyeon sighed quietly. This girl is clearly trying to avoid his question. And the most irritating thing that she has to mention is about Mark. “I was asking you a question. Why did you change the topic so suddenly?”

“I don’t like that topic so I changed it. Why would you like that topic anyway?” Becky said with a calm face. She took a sip of her hot tea. “So, what’s with that necklace? Who gave it to you? Why did all of you have the same necklace?”

“Mark didn’t tell you?” asked Lyeon.

“I don’t find it interesting,” answered Becky.

“So, you were interested to know it from me?” asked Lyeon with a full meaning behind his question. He was quite happy when Becky said she wasn’t interested to know it from Mark.

Becky perked her lips in an annoyance manner. “I just want to know. Not because I was interested. Besides it’s funny to see all of you have the same kind of necklace,” said Becky and she giggled after she said that.

“Well, if you really want to know. This necklace is a gift from my mother. She gave it to us as her last memorial for us.”

“You mean she’s already gone? For good?” asked Becky, cutting in Lyeon’s explanation.

“Yeah, she’s gone… for good.”

Becky’s face changed to a sad expression. She didn’t know that Lyeon’s mother was already gone. “That’s why I neve saw your mother before. I’ve thought she was with another Organisation.”

“No, she is already dead. Ten years ago.. At the fire incident.”

“What happened? How can there be a fire?” asked Becky, wanting to know more.

“That night, dark silent night… We were just having dinner when suddenly the vampires attacked us. My mom knows we won’t have a chance to survive, so she sacrifices herself to save us.”

Becky opened her mouth in disbelief. A few moments later, silence filled the air.

“Look, I’m sorry for your mother. We never knew what happened in the future, but the best we can do for those who have already moved to another place is to pray for them. And I believe if you pray for your mother, she would be happy about it,” Becky said, breaking the silence around them.

Lyeon looked at Becky and he smiled. He knew that they could never predict the future. Whatever happens in the future, they just have to face it.

Becky slid over the cookie jar toward Lyeon on the table.” I hope this cookies can make you feel a little better.”

Lyeon chuckled for this time. He took one of the cookies and ate it.

While they were enjoying their time together, they didn’t realized Symantha was watching them behind the kitchen wall. Symantha was there for a while and she heard everything Lyeon and Becky were talking of. She heard how Lyeon’s true feeling about her and she couldn’t accept it.

For all this year, she sacrificed all of her time for Lyeon and only for him in order to make Lyeon fall in love with her. But Symantha didn’t expect that Lyeon would have feelings for other women.

“Damn it!!!”
