Enigma: Being Chased By A Sly Ghost Husband

"As expected, the food you make is absolutely delicious!" Ryujin vocalised after swallowing down the food.

A plate of spaghetti lied before Ryujin, and a wide smile sat on her face while she ate the food with visible joy. Seated opposite to her was Min Aera.

Aera chuckled as a response.

"By the way, Aera-ah, your aunt must be loaded! I swear this is the first time in a while I have been to such a grand house. What are you? A rich heiress?" Ryujin voiced out, bringing her face closer to Aera.

Shin Ryujin's eyes held curiosity while they stared at Aera.

Thinking back to it, Ryujin did not know much about Aera's family; actually, it would be more appropriate to say how she was not aware of anything regarding it.

It was not that she did not attempt to ask Aera on it; it was merely that Aera appeared to be quite uncomfortable when talking on this matter. Therefore, she decided to not push Aera further on it.

"I wish I was," Aera said as a giggle escaped from her mouth before adding, "My aunt inherited it from her parents, and they used to be more or less rich back in the days."

Shin Ryujin noticed the wall Aera had put up and how uneasy she seemed. This was her usual reaction when Ryujin asked regarding her family.

"Oh! By the way, what would the police do now? Yesterday, I was unable to hear the entire thing properly," Ryujin vocalised, "It's not like I can hide here; I have a job at the convenience store. I will be fired if I don't go at there."

"Is some job more important than your life? Don't worry too much about it! You can always find jobs like that, so relax at here. I will be handling everything for you," Aera stated.

Guilt appeared on Ryujin's face at that instant, and staring down at the noodles in front of her, she moved the fork.

"Aera, I can't leave all of it up to you. Since this concerns me, I need to face this as well. Thank you, but I want to be a part of this as well," Ryujin said although thinking about dealing with this left a nauseating feeling inside her.

"You will simply be a burden rather than help, Ryujin. Even if you are strong, you are vulnerable to such situations. You will get a panic attack again," Aera said, "I have been clearing up mess for you from the very beginning. So, doing it one more time doesn't matter."

"Aera, don't you think it is time for me to face my past and fears? It has already been lots of years yet I am this clueless and depending on you," Ryujin spoke out, "I think I can do it now. I am old enough and believe that I am strong enough now."

"Your age has nothing to do with the trauma, and if you want to know about it, wait for some more time. It will be too hard on you if you get to know about it. I have to find him,", Aera voiced out.
