The wheels of time turning back (1)

The woman smiled. "Am I?"

"Of course you are. I didn't forget you. You just selfishly left Ai-chan with me that day! What if I had abandoned her too?"

"I knew you wouldn't."

Jin's gaze darkened by the arrogant confidence in her voice. It was then that thinking about her voice, he seemed to pause.

Where have I heard it before? She sounds familiar…

"Why did you come to the church?"

He frowned. "Why should I tell you?"

"Maybe I will be able to help you."

Jin still wasn't able to figure out where he had heard her voice apart from the time they had met in the church.

"I don't need your help."

She chuckled. "You are really stubborn, you know. Whether the time you refused to admit your feelings for that girl and had to be locked up in the time-space or now when I am generously offering my help."

A razor-sharp silence descended after that, and he slowly turned to look at her, this time with extreme scrutiny.
