"You do know who Elena is, right?" Reba asked with a knowing look on her face.


    "Yes…" Rudy slowly nodded. "It was somewhat obvious from the start— although I tried to turn a blind eye. I had this slight hope that I was wrong, and I wanted to be wrong. But when I was certain who Elena was… I… I let my selfishness get the best of me and continued my rtionship with her.


    I might sound like a douchebag, but I don''t regret my single moment with her, and I will never regret it in the future, either. Still, I don''t know what I am going to do now. But I have to meet her and ask her my questions."


    Reba smiled slightly and calmly asked, "Do you have anything else you want to ask me?"


    "I do, but it''s not that important. I can ask them anytime I want."


    "I see."


    Rudy nced at the dairy at the table, and Reba followed his gaze. She slowly moved her hand to the diary and hid it behind herself.


    "I don''t know what type of powers you have, but I don''t want you to use your powers to look at the contents inside," she said.


    "Isn''t it fine now?" Rudy wondered. "I already know everything, so it doesn''t matter what I do now, right?"


    "I am not sure about that. And that''s why, I won''t let you have a look inside until you turn eighteen and I turn thirty."


    "That''s fine by me. I just wanted to find out who my parents are. I hope I can find a few clues from the diary."


    Reba squinted her eyes and asked, "Then what about me?"


    "Well…" Rudy slowly moved his face close to Reba''s face and pressed his lips on her lips.


    They kissed, but only their lips touched. When Reba opened her mouth to speak something, Rudy inserted his tongue inside.


    Reba was shocked, but she did the same, and they started kissing. They kissed and kissed a few times until Reba submitted her body to Rudy.


    Rudy slowly pushed her down on the couch while kissing her and began moving his hand to touch her body. He first touched her waist and slowly moved to her chest. He felt her breasts as their kisses turned from passionate to aggressive.


    He didn''t squeeze Reba''s breasts too hard and simply fondled them instead of groping them.


    ''I had squeezed them once before, too, when mom and I tripped in the living room while I was chasing her. I was so happy and excited at that time that I never noticed. But damn… they are quite big.''


    Rudy had never looked at Reba''s body, even when he had the see-through ability. He only had pure intentions for her, which recently changed into something else.


    After feeling Reba''s breasts for a while and continuously kissing, Rudy moved his one hand from her breast to her cave so he could make Reba feel even better.


    However, Reba grabbed Rudy''s hand and stopped him. She pushed him back and got up from the couch.


    Rudy was baffled by that. He thought Reba was against it, and he forced himself on her, but that wasn''t the case.


    "I am sorry. Is it too soon to go to that phase?" he asked.


    "I can''t do that." Reba shook her head violently and said, "We can''t do that."


    ''I shouldn''t have tested my luck like that. Mom looks so against it… as if she hated what we just did…''


    "I am sorry," Rudy apologized.


    "No, no. You don''t have to apologize. It''s my fault."


    "How is it your fault?" Rudy asked with a curious yet confused look on his face.


    "Because… I am the one who is stopping you."


    "Yeah, but… if you don''t want to do this, then obviously, I am not going to force myself on you. I love you, and that''s never going to change, but I would never hurt you in any way."


    "That''s not it." Reba grabbed the diary— that had dropped on the couch when she got up— and sat on the couch beside Rudy.


    "It''s…" She took a deep breath and said, "It''s in the diary."


    "What… do you mean?"


    "Every chapter has instructions, and some of them have prophecies. In the first chapter, it was written that I am forbidden to have any type of intimate rtionship with you. And so are the others who you were acquainted with during your time travel."


    "Oh… wait…" After a brief pause, Rudy gathered his words and asked, "Earlier, you said, ''when I read the first chapter, it was so ridiculous that I felt stupid for taking it seriously.'' or something along those lines.


    Does that mean… does that mean you wanted to have an intimate rtionship with me?" He asked with a surprised look on his face. "You were twelve at that time. Come on, I didn''t raise you to be like that."


    "No, no! You are misunderstanding!" Reba refuted with a flushed face. "Think about it as a 12-year-old mindset. When I read about intimate rtionships, I thought about marriage and the rtionship you had with Elena... I wanted to be with you like that.


    I learned about sex after my teenage years. I was too focused on your growth, and the worldly things never tempted me."


    "So you wanted to marry me?" he asked with a judging look on his face.


    Reba shrugged and said, "Little girls like nice guys who are older than them, you know?"


    "That sounds so wronging from a girl''s mouth. Please don''t say that again."


    "Excuse you! I wanted to marry you when I grew up. And we only had a six-year age gap, okay?! Elena told me that you were also lying about your age!"


    "That age gap is not valid. I was born after that, so the real age gap between us is 12 years. But that doesn''t matter, and I don''t care about that."


    Reba continued ring at Rudy with puffed cheeks.
