My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

The snow glows white on the street tonight, a girl walking on the side of the route, she hugged herself enduring the cold of the snow, of the fake snow, the fake world, and the harsh reality if she ever got out of this fake world.

"Aurora, listen!!!"

"I won't. Go away, Tristan."

That girl is me...I remembered everything. Marinette, Irene, Tristan, and even myself in that world. But returning to that world...what's the use of it??

"I need you."

"I'm sorry, Tristan. Go back to your world." I raised my voice at the guy walking behind me the whole time. Even though he didn't know how the traffic light worked, even with the thin fabric of his clothes, he still followed me in the cold.

He only asked for Aurora, that Aurora wasn't me. I'm Eun-Kyung, I'm Eun-Kyung of this world.

"It's your world too. Please, Aurora...listen."

"No!!! It's not my world, this is where my home is. Everyone I ever love is here within this world."

"What about Marinette?? Isn't she your friend??" I stopped under the snow falling, under the street light which shone on both of us as I faced him.

He was standing there shivering, and yet I was so harsh to him. Why did he make that kind of face???

Just leave me here, even though it is fake...I'm...happy...

"I have a friend here too Tristan...I have someone here too. This is my homeworld. This is where I came from!!! I don't belong in Anastasia."

Without knowing, I told him everything. But what's the use of hiding anymore since I never intended to return to that world

"What are you saying...You're Aurora, the daughter of the Madeline family."

Tears fell down from my eyes, I no longer be able to hold any of these tears.

I'm scared...Tristan...I don't want to face the reality...I don't want to...

You're so brave for breaking such a tempting illusion but that kind of bravery didn't apply to me.

"My real name is Eun-Kyung, this is Earth. After I died in this world, I possessed Aurora's body...the Aurora you see was me all along...I'm tired, Tristan...I'm really tired...I don't want to live in another person's body..." I put my hands on his arm as I turned my head down crying looking at his bare feet.

He was shivering in cold and I was so selfish.

"Auro--Eun-Kyung...it's kinda unbelievable but...I'm sorry...sorry for forcing you to leave your world...earth..." I looked at his indifferent face, he took my hand off his arms as he turned his back leaving me.

Yeah...you did the right thing.

Although I talked a lot about taking revenge and stuff, I'm just useless...a bragger...I couldn't do anything...if it was the real Aurora, she will change her fate with her amazing strength and beautiful face...

Meow...meow...(human don't go...)

The cat's voice in the snow was echoing in my ears as I left the place we yelled at each other, I was the one yelling though.

Go back to your world, Tristan...you will...will...

Huh??

Tristan in the novel...will...

No...!!!

I rushed back to where we stood!! He wasn't there, I panted searching for him.

I wiped my tears searching for the white-haired guy, Tristan. Everyone had black hair, he had the hair of the color of the snow.  He would stand out among the crowd but...there was no crowd. Seoul was covered in snow everywhere I ran. My feet with the shoes were cold but what about him?? 

"Tristan!!!!!"

"Tristan!!! Where are you???"

Not here...not here either...

Where are you?? Please...please don't go to that world yet...I don't want you to die...

It's not about the stupid mission anymore, I didn't want a person like you to die in vain. You're not the disposable character...

Huff huff

I put my hands on my knee panting as I couldn't continue running any further.

Did he already go back??

If the underling of the demon Valencia was this powerful, what about Valencia herself??

Tristan...please...if there's a slim chance of you still being here...please let me find you.

"Auro--Eun-Kyung??"

"!!!" the voice calling me behind my back made me teared up in an emotional way, I turned back quickly as the wind to confirm the owner of the voice.

"Tristan, you stay!!!"

"Ahh...I don't know how to get out of here..."

I giggled even in that serious situation, I walked to him slowly...even if I won't go back to that world with him but at least I could help him in any way.

"Isn't it cold??"

"Ye--yeah...it's cold...just how long have you been staying in this world???"

"About three years."

"What??!! I thought only three or five days had passed. So time flows differently..."

"Tristan...I...I don't want you to die."

"...why??"

"It's not I worry about you or  anything...but just don't die when you return to your world."

"You're just harsh as ever, Eun-Kyung." that guy was still joking with a smile with his skin turned pale like that. He's talking like he knew me for a long time.

I took off my scarf and wrapped it around his neck.

"We just met each other for like a week..."

"I remember dancing with you...and the time when you scolded me too."

"Ahaha...yeah, yeah. I was so mad at you at that time."

"Eun-Kyung...I don't know what the real Aurora is like...but I know the Aurora I met that day, the one who would always do crazy things...and the one who sacrificed her legs for me..."

"...are you trying to bring me back there??" I asked sarcastically at him smiling.

"No, no, not at all...as long as you're happy in your own world...it's enough..."

"...yeah..."

"But Eun-Kyung, are you really happy here??"

"...yeah..."

"Even in the next ten years?? Twenty years??"

"I...will be happy..."

"Then that's all there is. It was hard for me to of leaving such a beautiful illusion I have, my dream and happiness were in that illusion...but I don't think I can be happy in the illusion forever."

"...it's hard..."

"I know..."

"I can't leave this world behind...even though I died here once..."

"And you were transported to that world...I mean my world, Anastasia...I heard your legs were also healed by god...isn't it obvious that God loves you?? I'm really glad you could walk again, Eun-Kyung."

There's no god, Tristan. It was all an acting and the one who got me in Anastasia was rather the devil than a god.

Growllllll

"!!!!////"

"Let's go..." I took the hand of the blushing guy who was embarrassed with his stomach growling.

"That food just smells too good...///" kinda remind me of someone from Anastasia.

We ate the food of Seoul together, Tristan kept eating till my pocket money ran out. He looked...cute/// eating the food.

"Stop staring at me///"

"Alright." I smiled and sipped the ramen soup.

"What a lovely couple you are."

"!!!!!???"

"!!!!!!"

"NO, We're not a COUPLE!!!" we shouted in sync at the ramen shop owner. How can someone mistake us as a couple???

I didn't even have my makeup on and compared to Tristan, he looked really handsome with the white hair, one could mistake him for an idol.

People were staring at us, so I just paid the bill and left there pulling Tristan who still enjoyed eating the fifth bowl with me.

"Are you full now??"

"Noo..." he was sulking. This guy is sulking!!!!

"There's more than ramen in my world. You're not in the hurry, right??"

He nodded enthusiastically, and I already grabbed his hand walking around Seoul at night.

Meow uwu (There's nothing to do here anymore.)

"AHAHAHA!!!" he tried on the modern clothes, he looked so weird in them. I never imagined him wearing modern clothes like that.

With the ripped jeans and the jacket, he looked like a bad boy.

"How can people wear such revealing clothes??"

AHAHA!!!!

"Let's try this one!!!"

"This one too!!!"

"AHAHAHA, you looked good in this one!!"

I bought his clothes with a credit card and left the shopping mall.

I told Tristan all about my world, we rent the motorcycle and rode around Seoul, I was the one who rode it though, Tristan sat behind me hugging me tightly since he was afraid.

"Is it the horse in your world??! How can it run so fast???"

I giggled and rode slowly on the bridge enjoying the strong wind up there.

"It's a motor!! Don't forget it when you go back there."

"Don't ride too fast..."

"Look there, Tristan." I could feel his trembling arm hugging my waist as he put my head pressed against my back.

Everyone who rode past by us was surprised to see such a cowardly man.

"No...it's not like I'm scared...but..."

"You're such a scaredy cat!!" I teased him and stopped the motor in the middle of the bridge. I took Tristan's hand and brought him down with me. His hands were shaking as if he was about to puke.

I held his hand and pointed at the beauty of Seoul for him.

"Look over there, that is the place I was born." he finally opened his eyes, his eyes widen seeing the light of the building, it was colorful. I snuggled his arms since it was too cold on the bridge leaning my head on his arms as we watched the beautiful Seoul together.

"It's pretty."

"I know..." I felt sleepy, it was so cozy.

When we have a good dream, we never wanted to wake up from it, right?? Is it wrong for me to stay inside the beautiful dream...???

"Eun-Kyung...thank you for showing this to me." I turned my head to his sparkling eyes, I saw my face in his purple eyes.

And it was the face full of guilt.

"Eun-Kyung!!! What is that???" the red, green, and yellow light flashed in our eyes, it was quite unexpected, the sound of it was so loud but thanks to it, Tristan shouldn't be able to hear the loud heartbeat inside my chest.

"It's a firework, Tristan~"

Why is my heart pounding??

To be continued....!
