I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 118

“Uh, you scared me. What is it?”

As soon as the living room door was opened, I reflexively stepped backwards at the appearance of Cheon Sa-yeon and Cheon Sa-yeon put a smirk on his lips.

“You’re surprised at everything.”

I was surprised because I didn’t expect this person to open the door, but I thought he was making fun of me again this time. Absolutely annoying bastard. I stared at Cheon Sa-yeon, who seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and responded roughly.

“I can be surprised.”

“Oh, my.”

As I entered the drawing room, pushing Cheon Sa-yeon’s hard body with annoyance, Chloe, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely, looked at me and smiled.

“Welcome, Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Hello, Deputy Master Chloe.”

Chloe, with her blonde hair shining under the sunlight neatly tied up, noticed Min Ah-rin behind me and tilted her head.

“Who is that person?”

Kwon Jeong-han had been introduced as a bodyguard two days ago, so everyone except Min Ah-rin was acquainted. I slowly stood next to Min Ah-rin and said.

“She’s a friend of mine with whom I met Producer Edward.”

“Nice to meet you, Deputy Master Chloe. I’m the healer of Requiem, Min Ah-rin.”

Min Ah-rin, who had a natural smile to overshadow her nervousness, greeted Chloe. Chloe, who got up from her seat and shook hands with Min Ah-rin, said with a look of interest.

“Aha, you’re the healer Eddy mentioned. I wanted to meet you. Nice to meet you, Healer Min Ah-rin.”

“Thank you for your welcome.”

Min Ah-rin, who read the positive emotions on Chloe’s face, showed a more relieved look. As I watched them greet each other, I turned my gaze to Cheon Sa-yeon and asked.

“Where is Producer Edward?”

“I heard he has arrived in Korea. I've sent someone to the airport, so he’ll be here soon.”

I nodded my head at the answer that came out immediately. Meanwhile, Chloe took out a new teacup and placed it in front of Min Ah-rin.

“I contacted him briefly yesterday, and Eddy was really looking forward to it. He seems to have always been curious about the news.”

“Really?”

“Eddy is such a child with a lot of chastity, so he goes wherever his help is needed, and I think you were particularly memorable.”

Memorable. Definitely, the issue of Kim Woo-jin’s reawakening was special. If it was me, I would be curious if he was doing well.

“I didn’t know until I heard about it before, but… I can understand it because I met in person.”

Chloe smiled strangely and continued. I blinked because I didn’t know what it meant, but the drawing room door opened slightly after a brief knock.

“Master.”

“What?”

He was one of Cheon Sa-yeon attendants. The attendant, who took turns looking at Cheon Sa-yeon and Woo Seo-hyuk, lowered his voice and reported.

“I have received an urgent call from the N11 Area manager.”

“…the contents is?”

The attendant, who had been watching for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Even though no energy was detected, it is said that the gate entrance opened by itself.”

I frowned as I listened to the explanation next to Cheon Sa-yeon. The gate entrance was opened by itself? In this case, if the gate had been cleared for a long time, there was a high probability that the monster would explode.

“Is that all?”

“Yes. Once it has been confirmed, this is it.”

Cheon Sa-yeon stood still with an annoyed expression on his face, then immediately turned his gaze to me.

‘What?’

As I tilted my head to Cheon Sa-yeon’s actions, who just stared at me without saying a word, Woo Seo-hyuk said in a low voice.

“I know why you are worried, but… you better go, Master. Even if the gate has been cleared for less than a week, you need to be prepared if it’s S-grade.”

Were you worried? Any reason to worry?

As if he couldn’t hear Woo Seo-hyuk, Cheon Sa-yeon continued to stare at me. In the end, I couldn’t stand the behaviour that seemed to have something to say, so I asked first.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“I’m just deciding whether to go or not.”

“Of course you should go. Anomalies are already continuing, and it’s dangerous.”

“Hmm…”

He exhaled softly and touched his lips. I added, just in case.

“I will be here all the time anyway, and it will only take a few hours to check and come back? Just hurry up and come back, isn’t it?”

“Haha.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been quietly listening, asked with a bright smile.

“You want me to go and be back?”

“Yes.”

“It would be sad if I wasn’t here.”

What was fucking wrong with this kid again? When I stared at him with cold eyes, Cheon Sa-yeon shrugged his shoulders lightly as if he knew it.

“Okay. Han Yi-gyeol, I’ll go if you tell me to go. It’s annoying.”

“Ah, really, why are you doing this?”

In the end, I couldn’t stand the annoyance, and when I said a word, Cheon Sa-yeon snickered and smiled and ordered Woo Seo-hyuk.

“I’ll go right away, so get ready. Put a guard in front of the drawing room.”

“Yes.”

“Deputy Master Chloe.”

At Cheon Sa-yeon’s call, Chloe put down her teacup and nodded her head.

“I’m not going out of the building, so don’t worry and go.”

As soon as those words were finished, the drawing room door opened and Park Geon-ho entered with a loud greeting.

“Hello, guys!” (In English)

Park Geon-ho, who dressed in a neat suit two days ago, now wearing a t-shirt and jeans, went straight to me as soon as he came in.

“I missed you, Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

“I saw you two days ago.”

With an insincere response, I pushed Park Geon-ho’s heavy arm around my shoulder. Slowly, my shoulders were getting used to it. There was no Kim Woo-jin who took it off today, so I had to take care of Park Geon-ho alone.

“It means I missed you for two days though?”

“……”

Park Geon-ho, who looked particularly happy today, had already made me shiver. As I was standing between Park Geon-ho, who was as excited as a dog out for a walk, and Cheon Sa-yeon, who didn’t know what he was thinking, I was very tired.

“Anyway, go and come back.”

“Um? Master. Where are you going?”

Park Geon-ho, who had forcibly wrapped his arms around my shoulders with strength, asked in a curious voice.

“Take care of Han Yi-gyeol well, Team Leader Park Geon-ho.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, ignoring Park Geon-ho’s question, left the drawing room with Woo Seo-hyuk with his last words. Rather, why did you entrust my well being to Park Geon-ho?

“What. What’s going on?”

“There is some problem with the gate. And now they’re going to that place.”

I explained instead while pushing Park Geon-ho’s chest, who was constantly making a nuisance. Chloe beckoned as she poured tea into Min Ah-rin’s teacup sitting next to her.

“Stop bullying Talented Han Yi-gyeol, come and sit down, Team Leader Park Geon-ho. If not, I was waiting for you.”

“Are you talking about me?”

Following Chloe’s words, teacups with luxurious patterns were placed in front of me, Park Geon-ho, and Kwon Jeong-han, who sat on the opposite sofa. Chloe, who had put the teacup on the table by hand, looked at me and asked.

“Because Eddy hasn’t arrived yet, I want to talk a little bit personally. Would it be okay?”

“Of course, it’s fine.”

Chloe, who smiled at my answer, turned her gaze to Park Geon-ho.

“The last time I came to Korea… it’s been about a year, hasn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

Light crimson tea water filled the teacup. A soft scent spread through the rising white seaweed.

“Did anything special happen to Master Cheon Sa-yeon during that year?”

“Something special… I don’t know.”

Park Geon-ho folded his arms with a look that he couldn’t understand. It was the same with me, who accidentally heard it. What did it mean to say it was something special to Cheon Sa-yeon?

“Because I’ve been so busy, I haven’t been able to communicate with Master Cheon Sa-yeon often. Team Leader Park Geon-ho was always by his side, so I thought you might know something.”

“Hm.”

Park Geon-ho, who had expected that he would answer no, unexpectedly wiped his lips and fell into trouble.

“There were some strange parts, though.”

“Can you tell me?”

“It’s not special.”

Park Geon-ho, who was leaning back on the sofa to organize his thoughts for a moment, opened his mouth.

“At some point, the atmosphere changed a bit. He used to be sensitive and cynical, but it got worse. Lately, I haven’t been able to see his genuine smile.”

Park Geon-ho’s dark eyes, who had been talking up to that point, turned to me, who sat next to him for a moment.

“Still, he looks a little more comfortable with Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

“…could it be. No.”

I didn’t know why you’re mentioning me again all of a sudden. I didn’t want to intervene in the story of Cheon Sa-yeon in this way, so I quickly shook my head in denial. Park Geon-ho, who was giggling as he looked at me, turned to Chloe.

“Then why are you asking about Master all of a sudden?”

“I just think the atmosphere has changed a bit.”

“Well. Master isn’t too young anymore, isn’t he going to be gentle? These days, he doesn’t meet this person or that person, just work and live. Of course, it’s not the time to date because the gate anomaly has occurred.”

“That’s a relief. As much as possible, I don’t want to care about dating issues, but as Team Leader Park Geon-ho knows, Master Cheon Sa-yeon was a bit harsh.”

“I understand.”

I smiled inwardly and furrowed my brow. Did Chloe live a life of promiscuity enough to think that way? Cheon Sa-yeon, this kid was truly amazing in many ways.

“Anyway, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“I see.”

Nodding her head with a sigh, Chloe said with worried eyes.

“Actually, I’m worried because the energy of Master Cheon Sa-yeon I’ve seen for the first time in a year has changed a bit. I asked just in case.”

“The energy has changed. Is it enough to be a problem?”

“It’s not like that, but I’m worried because the other person is the Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

Did your mood change? It wasn’t easy to imagine. Chloe, who found Min Ah-rin and me with a puzzled expression on our faces, smiled slightly.

“By the way, don’t you two know about my ability?”

Min Ah-rin’s eyes twinkled. Min Ah-rin seemed very interested in Chloe’s ability.

It was an ability that wasn’t easily met, so there was nothing wrong with listening to the explanation in detail.
