Chereads / The Abyss Between Us: A Tale Of Cursed Love / Chapter 50 - Deceive and steal

Chapter 50 - Deceive and steal

The days seemed to bleed into each other after that miraculous evening, Su jun who was always bored and roaming around the heavenly realm had shut himself down in his room, prohibiting everyone, even his mother from coming in, his hands were full of paint of different colours everyday, drawing and painting his God over and over again, making sure that the paintings were improvised every time, if he could he wanted to worship his God on the alter but he would be banished from the heaven if he did that so he refrained from doing that.

Su jun was in his room, lying on the bed as he dreamily thought of something, his clothes were drenched in wonderful colours, looking at the man on the canvas, while stroking his face carelessly, like he wanted the man to come to life and stand in front of him but even after staring at it for hours the man on the canvas didn't move, his eyes still while he looked at Su jun , his body still wet with water, but even after painting the man this Vividly, the man did not speak, making Su Jun disappointed and angry.

"Why don't you talk to me?, my God". Su Jun asked in a soft voice despite his growing bad mood, at this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Su Jun, come down for lunch, your father is waiting for you", Yoon said as he knocked continuously.

"I don't want to, i don't feel like eating,just tell my parents that I am sleeping", Su Jun answered and put his head on the pillow.

"No, your father has complained twice, he will kill you, if you don't go out for the meal, hurry up", Yoon said and banged the door harder and harder, determined to drag Su Jun out of his room.

"Okay, okay, i am coming, stop banging the door, why are you so determined to make me eat", Su Jun complained as he got up and joined Yoon outside, making sure that he could not see the paintings inside the room.

"You would not get up, if I don't continuously bang on your door, let's go", Yoon answered and the two boys went to the eating hall.

There Su Jun saw his parents already seated in front of the table and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to father, Greetings to mother", Su Jun said and bowed his head deep before sitting in his seat.

"Su Jun , why don't you come to eat with your parents these past few days, i have noticed since I came back you are always withdrawn", his father asked gently.

"I apologise for worrying you father but I am fine, i just feel a little sick since I am always sitting in my room, so I have not really had an appetite these days", Su Jun answered gracefully and bowed his head again.

"Hmm, it's okay, just take some rest", His father answered and after that everyone started having their lunch in silence, whenever Su Jun's father or mother asked him something or talked about something he just nodded his head in response or hummed.

After the lunch, Su Jun went back to his room and started preparing, but at that time the door of his room opened again and his mother came in.

"Little Prince, are you okay", His mother asked as she sat on his bed.

"I am okay mother, just a bit sick", Su Jun answered tierdly.

"You have been like this since you returned from earth, is everything okay, did someone do something to you there, why do you always look so lifeless", his mother asked worried.

"No, mother, nothing happened you can ask Yoon if you want, i just want to rest", Su Jun answered.

"Okay, then, take a rest, i will not disturb you anymore", His mother said but Su Jun held her hand.

"Mother, I would not eat dinner tonight, i want to sleep, so I hope you would not send anyone here", Su Jun requested.

"Hmm", his mother hummed and after a soft pat on his head she left from there.

As soon as Su Jun saw her disappearing in the long corridor, he immediately changed his clothes and called Yoon in.

"Yoon, i will be back soon", Su Jun said and held his hands.

"No, this is wrong Su Jun, you cannot do this and what if we are caught, i will be killed by your father", Yoon answered scared.

"No, i promise, nothing will happen,you just need to take my appearance and sleep in the bed, that's all, i have arranged everything else", he requested.

"But your father will catch me in the blink of an eye", Yoon said fearful of the wrath of the God of Afterlife.

"He would not come here, Yoon, believe me he has many important tasks ,he does not have the time to monitor me, just lie down on the bed and I will be back in the blink of an eye", Su Jun said and hurriedly opened an array and went into it before Yoon could change his mind.

...

It was yet another day, of Su Jun sneaking out of the heavenly capital to go down and find his Elysian, he quickly paced towards the stream and stood at the nearest tree top to look at his God, who came here everyday to bathe at this time, Su Jun stood there quietly, thinking about how the man would look today and what he would do, he was quiet happy since the day he found this god of beauty on earth, and he liked to come to the mortal world more.

He had painted the man countless times ever since he saw him but never got bored of the face, he never had a day when he didn't sneak out of the heavenly captial and come to see him, the man had unknowingly become his life and his peace, he would do everything for him and change his ways as he likes, to the point that Su Jun thought he had gone crazy because of this obsession, but he did not mind it as long as it was this man, Su Jun was ready to fight Hell and Heaven for him.

He waited for the man for two hours but no one came to the stream nor did someone come out of it, he was now getting restless and his heart started beating fast.

*I can't go back like this, i have to see if he is in there*, he thought to himself and came down from the tree top and jumped straight into the stream and went to the bottom of it to look for his God, but he was not there, Su Jun immediately came out and ran in the dark forest where the man always cultivates to look for him, but in vain, Su Jun was losing his patience so he ran to the market and looked in every shop for the young cultivator but to no avail.

*It can't be like this, it's been one and a half year since I have been visiting him and he is always at one of the three places, why is he not here today, maybe he got sick, because he cultivates too much everyday without break, yes, I should go to his house to look for him, i will just take a little glance and return before the sun down*, Su Jun thought and fervently went to the cultivator's house to look for him, but when he got there, he saw people coming in and going out of the cultivator's house, there was much liveliness then other days today, and people were laughing and chattering, Su Jun could not comprehend what was happening so he went back to a desserted place and sealed his sipritual power before going back.

He saw a man near the cultivator's house and asked in a gentle voice.

"Gentleman, what's the matter, this place is very lively today?", he asked gently.

"Young master, you don't seem to be from here, that's why you don't know, but today is the wedding of our sect leaders daughter and Ahn Sun Yeong, the man who lives in this house", the man answered politely, looking at Su Jun's luxurious clothes.

"What, the man who lives here is getting married?", Su Jun asked shocked by the sudden announcement about his God.

"Yes, young master, if you want to congratulate him you can go in now", the man replied.

"Impossible", Su Jun murmured to himself and ran back to the forest leaving the man confused.

*This cannot happen, this is not possible,how can he get married, how can he*.

*What should I do now, if he gets married that means I cannot go find him again and he cannot be mine, i will have to leave him, but I can't, he is reason I wake up everyday and look forward to a new day, how can he be stolen from me, no i absolutely cannot let this happen*.

*If I have to make him mine, i have to do something, yes, he can only be mine, no one else's but mine*, Su Jun thought as he looked at the direction of the house again and then took a deep breath.

*I am sorry, i know this is immoral of me but I need to do this to keep you by my side forever*, Su Jun thought and with a flip of his sleeves,he got to the bride's house and looked at her through the window.

*I apologise to you beforehand*, Su Jun said bowing once, before making up his mind.
