SPMB - Chapter 237

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna opened her eyes to the sound of the rain.

She immediately met green eyes.

It was a gaze that must have been looking at him all night.

"Good morning, Alex."

She greeted him with a hazy mind and snuggled into his arms. The moment her flesh was gently crushed against his chest, Alessandro stiffened.

"..."

That reaction made her lose sleep.

"What?"

Once again.

Why is he surprised when she's been covering her body like this for several days without even a single layer of clothing?

'No way.'

Did his memories come back?

"...... Alex?"

The moment his name was carefully called, Alessandro hugged Kanna's waist. Ne stroked her head.

Kanna sighed at the familiar touch.

Not yet. It was still Alex.

"It's raining a lot. You can't go to the sea."

"I know."

"Let's go next time."

"Huh."

"Are you going to sleep better?"

"Can I sleep more?"

"Of course."

"But you must be bored."

"It's okay, go to sleep. I will wait."

Kanna laughed quietly.

A voice that reminds her of a quiet winter night. She liked his calm bass voice. She also liked the hand stroking her hair.

But she knows. This is not the time.

'We have to go back to Addis quickly.'

She's waiting for his memories to return, but it's taking longer than she thought.

But they can't stay like this forever. Because there was a lot of work to do.

'Let's talk about it later when I wake up.:

Kanna closed her eyes.

Soon, comfortable rest came.

***

As Kanna fell asleep. Alessandro got up from the bed.

The headache was getting worse. It was to the point where he couldn't hide it well anymore.

Alessandro left the house enduring the stabbing pain in his head. He was thinking of going to the store to buy groceries. He got away with that excuse.

Right now, something like lava was boiling in his head.It felt like it was going to explode at any moment, and he didn't think he should be next to Kanna at that time, so he hurriedly opened the umbrella and walked blindly.

Many memories came to mind throughout the night as he waited for her to wake up.

Among them, there was a moment when Kanna followed him as her caregiver.

"Well, I succeeded in alchemy. I revived a dead flower. Here..."

The black-haired girl held out a small flower pot.

It was eyes that feared him, yet admired him, and secretly longed for his affection.

'Yes. That too is me.'

But he knew her before that. He loved her even before that. That moment was also true.

He also couldn't deny the time when they met as a man and a woman and developed feelings for each other.

It was an experience that could never coexist, but he was confident he could overcome it. If only Kanna would allow it. If she stays by his side.

If she does that, one day he will be able to overcome the feelings of guilt and self-destruction that are clearly blooming in his heart right now.

Therefore...

"...!"

Alessandro took a deep breath

"Are you really not my biological father?"

That was the beginning. Finally, the dam burst.

It couldn't be compared to before. A truly enormous amount of memories came rushing in, shattering everything. Like an unstoppable tsunami. it swallowed his entire body at once.

In shock, Alessandro dropped his umbrella. As his body stumbled, he hurriedly leaned against the wall.

Rain falls down on his twitching body. He was soaked from head to toe.

Alessandro closed his eyes. He breathed. Roughly, as if he was going to fall, he was panting....

He remembered everything. Everything.

"I'm done here, you? Alessandro, how far can you go?"

That time...

What did he answer to Seon-hee?

"How can I believe you?"

"I don't need your trust. I just need someone to protect my child."

"Are you asking me to become a sacrifice?"

"Yes. But you alone are not enough. You must sacrifice the entire family of Addis."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that your future children will have to become a sacrifice for my daughter."

And Seon-hee held out her hand.

"If you can't do it, I'll show you. The future to come."

Seon-hee and he went back in time. After numerous attempts, the desired time was reached. And he witnessed it.

Kanna's end.

It would have been better if he had not been able to recognize it as her. Alessandro could not help but recognize her.

Why can't he accept her death like the death of anyone else?

Admit it.

Yes.

He came this far because he couldn't.

He has come this far...

"How is it? Do you want to change the future?"

"Yes."

The woman's voice was heard over the sound of the pouring rain. That moment of conversation decided his fate.

"Then let me tell you. The only way to save that child. But...."

It gradually subsided.

Rough breathing, shock, and trembling fingertips.

"You will lose everything."

"..."

"Can you still go that route?"

Alessandro slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes."

The exposed eyes were calm.

Everything was like that. The pain, the heat, the confusion, everything that controlled him disappeared without leaving a trace.

Like it was just a dream, like that.

All that's left is the road to walk.

"Alec?"

Alessandro turned around. He moved his stone-like eyes.

"Alex, are you okay?"

A woman was holding an umbrella over his head.

"Why are you getting wet in the rain?"

"..."

"And if you catch a cold...m.."

Instead of answering, Alessandro bent down and picked up the fallen umbrella.

He tried to pass by, but the cooking teacher caught him.

"Well, even if that wasn't the case, I wanted to come see you."

"..."

"That black-haired woman, does she really have that kind of relationship with Alex?"

As he stared, the woman lowered her head and hesitantly made an excuse.

"S-sorry. But I really want to hear from Alex....."

"No."

Alessandro looked up at the rain-pouring sky. The whole place was filled with gray clouds.

That was sad.

It was definitely a sunny spring day until yesterday... 

As always, the beautiful moment was short.

"That child is my daughter."

***

Kanna woke up from her sleep.

"..."

She was embarrassed. He was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes for several days.

'Did a memory come to mind?'

It was somehow strange. Kanna let out a helpless laugh.

'I guess he remembered a memory."

That's why he disappeared like this. Remembering everything. 

So, like this, he abandoned her.

Kanna buried her face in the pure white sheet. The pretty eyebrows furrowed.

'I knew it would be like this. Fool. Idiot. Bastard...'

"Are you awake?"

Flash! 

Kanna opened her eyes. She hurriedly got her body up. Alessandro was standing in the doorway, looking at her.

The moment their eyes met, her mind went blank.

Eyes like the deep sea, where everything seems to have sunken deep. A realization came over her still and still face.

"No way. You remember......?"

"I'm back."

I see.

You're back.

As Kanna couldn't find anything to say and just stared into the distance, Alessandro let out a low sigh. He turned his head and muttered quietly.

"Kanna."

"..."

"Cover it."

"..."

"Please."

Ah. Kanna pulled up the blanket and covered her exposed body.

Is it because she lost her mind? 

Her face turned red later.

"Come out when you're ready. I'll wait."

***

It seemed like Alessandro did the grocery shopping and even cooked while she was asleep.

'The kitchen is a mess again...'

Kanna just cleaned it and it ended up like this.

This time, for some reason, a kitchen knife was stuck in the ceiling, and food ingredients were flying everywhere.

"Eat."

Alessandro pointed to something that looked like pork porridge with an expressionless face.

"The taste is okay."

"..."

Resisting the urge to refuse, Kanna lifted her spoon. Does she really have to die...?

'Ah?'

Surprisingly, the taste was normal.

"Maybe that woman... Has the cooking teacher come and gone?"

"No."

"Then did you make it yourself?"

"Yes."

"It's delicious."

There was silence. When the meal was finally finished, Alessandro finally opened his mouth.

“Kanna.”

"Yes."

"Sorry."

Kanna was speechless for a moment.

Is he sorry?

That apology, that word, his words seemed to sweep away everything.

After a while, she asked back quietly.

"What are you sorry about?"

"I..."

Alessandro trailed off. A deep sense of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"I did something I shouldn't have done to you. Blame me. It's all my fault."

Shit! I hate this. Why don't you just be honest with your feelings 😓 Sometimes this series makes me annoyed.
