I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 59

While embarrassed by the sudden attack, Park Geon-ho smiled and opened his mouth.

“Haha, entering the gate is no joke for children. Wouldn’t it be nice to take them as trustworthy ones in many ways?”

“Even though Team Leader Park Geon-ho is not very trustworthy. On the contrary, his personality of being easily excited is a source of anxiety for me.”

“Being easily excited… You’re talking too rudely. If I had really done that, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk would not have been able to stand still like this now.”

“I’ll give it back literally. Thank you for my deep patience.”

I glanced at Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who never backed down, and took a step back. Kim Woo-jin also came close to me and gave me a tired expression.

I thought it was just a bit of an uncomfortable relationship, but it was really hard to get along like that. It’s worse than I thought.

“Stop.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was watching Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk with sullen faces, said.

“There is no change in the team. You should know why, without having to explain why I put you two into the gate, which would normally have been enough for one S-rank.”

“Sheesh…”

“Yes.”

Park Geon-ho clicked his tongue as if dissatisfied, and Woo Seo-hyuk quietly nodded. I thought it was over, but Cheon Sa-yeon turned his attention to me.

“And Han Yi-gyeol.”

“……?”

What. Why me.

“Get ready to enter the gate. It’s the Area N23 gate.”

“I beg your pardon?”

What the hell is going on? I was startled and said to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Why am I suddenly in there? I am not going!”

Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk already fought when they made eye contact!

Whether it was funny that I was embarrassed or not, Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been making an undesirable expression the whole time, bent the corners of his eyes and smiled brightly.

“Who told you to come and call you like that?”

“What…”

“Team Leader Park Geon-ho knows the number too.”

“No, that’s.”

“Come to think of it, there was an article saying that you’re close to Roheon’s Deputy Master.”

“That…”

“Master. Are you jealous?”

Park Geon-ho intervened with an interesting expression. Shut up! I pushed Park Geon-ho’s strong forearm and opened my mouth.

“What the hell does that have to do with the gate?”

“So, you’re not going?”

“Of course, I’m not…!”

I was about to reply that ‘I’m not going’, but suddenly an ominous feeling ran through my heart. I slowly looked at Cheon Sa-yeon’s smiling face.

The corners of his lips rose softly. Black eyes stared straight at me. He was testing what answer I would give.

If I seriously refused, I thought our partnership would go away.

“…going. I’m going. Is that enough?”

When I forcefully answered by biting my molars, Cheon Sa-yeon gave me a satisfied smile. That son of a bitch.

“I will go too, Master.”

While swearing at Cheon Sa-yeon inwardly, Kim Woo-jin opened his mouth behind my back. I looked back at him in surprise.

“Hmm. At the S-grade gate? Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“Well, take care of it.”

“Wait a minute!”

Kim Woo-jin, has this bastard finally turned crazy? I hurriedly intervened.

“What’s the point of taking care of it? Kim Woo-jin, cancel it immediately.”

“No. I will go too.”

“He wants to go.”

I rubbed my trembling forehead.

Am I the only one here who is normal? Kim Woo-jin, who said that he would follow to the S-grade gate with a C-rank body, was also a problem, but Cheon Sa-yeon, who allowed him, was by no means sane.

“What if you allow doing that? It’s because the gate is unstable and it’s a mess.” (?? ??? ??? ??????, not sure)

“Two S-rank people and Han Yi-gyeol go too, but there’s only one C-rank.”

“It’s not that simple.”

“Han Yi-gyeol. I want to go.”

I looked at Kim Woo-jin, who was pulling my arm. Kim Woo-jin trembled at my cold gaze, but he insisted on going to the end.

“Hmm.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was watching me calmly, clapped his hands to evoke the atmosphere.

“Let’s start with tidying up. First of all, Kim Woo-jin. I don’t mind if you go to the gate, but you have to get the consent of the team members first.”

“Ugh… yes.”

“Han Yi-gyeol. For a detailed explanation of the gate, listen to Team Leader Park Geon-ho and get ready. Because this gate may also be abnormal.”

“…I understand.”

“It would be better for Team Leader Park Geon-ho and Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk to keep their attitudes clear as they involved others.”

“Of course.”

“Yes.”

“Nice. Get out now.”

Cheon Sa-yeon kicked us out with a smile.

I came out of the hallway and with a sigh, I called the causative agent.

“Team Leader Park Geon-ho…”

“Haha. This is how it goes.”

Park Geon-ho laughed awkwardly, whether he felt sorry or not.

“I will go to the gate. Instead, you will get paid. You have to listen to my request later.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll give you anything.”

Park Geon-ho raised his hands as if surrendering. Woo Seo-hyuk pushed Park Geon-ho away and held out the documents.

“This is the Area N23 gate material. I already know this, so it would be better for Han Yi-gyeol-ssi to take it.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

“No. I’ll see you when we leave. Then.”

Whether he didn’t want to be here anymore, Woo Seo-hyuk quickly turned his back and walked away.

“…are you going there too, aren’t you?”

“Since we met, maybe dinner together?”

“What dinner is at 3 o’clock?”

“So lunch?”

“I refuse.”

Leaving behind Park Geon-ho, who was sad, I returned to the room on the 23rd floor. As soon as I closed the door and only the two of us were left with Kim Woo-jin, I brought out the words I had endured with.

“You already know what I’m going to say, don’t you?”

“I…”

Kim Woo-jin opened his mouth with a dejected face at my resolute eyes.

“I want to go. Of course, I know it doesn’t help…”

“Who is saying because it doesn’t help? I’m against it because it’s dangerous.”

“I’ll just stay by your side. As the Master said, it’s a safe team, so it won’t be a big deal.”

“Even if the gate is normal, you shouldn’t. I know it’s dangerous, but why the hell are you going to follow me?”

It was frustrating to see Kim Woo-jin, who was difficult to understand. If an S+ grade monster appeared, there was a limit to protecting him.

“Does the S-grade look ridiculous just because you’ve been to an SS-grade gate? Will you stick by my side? Even if you go in, I can’t always protect you. You can’t predict what will happen if the monsters come.”

“……”

“I never agree, so if you want to go, do whatever you want. Instead, I won’t care if you’re in danger or not. Okay?”

Kim Woo-jin bit his lip. It seemed that my words were extremely upsetting. I thought it was a bit too much, but I turned around without apologizing.

The most sullen guy I’ve ever seen kept looking at me. I deliberately kept a stiff expression and waited for an answer that he would not go, but Kim Woo-jin did not give up in the end.

‘Are you going to enter the gate fighting me?’

It was difficult to understand Kim Woo-jin, who was trying to find a dangerous place on his own feet. I forcefully swallowed a sigh that filled my throat.

‘…still, he can’t.’

If you gave permission with a clumsy heart and got really seriously hurt. If the situation was unfavourable and the treatment was delayed, his life would be in danger or if there was a disability would remain.

I can’t let that happen. I’ve made up my weakened mind.

“The atmosphere is a bit bad.”

Min Ah-rin, who came to play after work, saw Kim Woo-jin feeling depressed and said to me.

“Not only Woo-jin-ssi but also Yi-gyeol-ssi. Did something happen?”

“That’s…”

I laughed awkwardly and explained what had happened during the day. Min Ah-rin, who had been listening with interest, tilted her head at the part where Kim Woo-jin with his stubbornness.

“Why? I think it’ll be fine if you go together.”

“Why are you even saying that, Min Ah-rin-ssi?”

“Ah. There was no problem with the SS-grade gate. Woo-jin-ssi is good at judging situations and moves quickly. Besides, it was convenient because he helped heal the injured team members.”

“But it’s still dangerous.”

“It’s the same for the healers and measurers who don’t have combat ability.”

“Umm.”

I frowned and retraced at her words calmly. Definitely…

“That’s true.”

“I heard that Team Leader Park Geon-ho and Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk are also going. Then you will clear it more easily than any other B-grades.”

Is that so? After looking at Kim Woo-jin, who was persistent and stubborn, and listening to Min Ah-rin’s explanation, my tightly bound heart began to shake.

When I thought about it, Min Ah-rin lowered her voice slightly and opened her mouth.

“And… Please understand Woo-jin-ssi’s feelings as well. Every time Yi-gyeol-ssi chooses only dangerous gates and comes out even injured, how lonely he must have been waiting alone.”

“Ah…”

Hearing those words, I suddenly felt so bad for Kim Woo-jin, who had only me as his friend. Was it like that… I guess I was too insensitive.

“If you are so worried, shall I go with you? Even so, I have to schedule the gate by tomorrow, but I’m still thinking because there’s no specific place I want to go.”

“It’s S-grade, are you okay with that?”

“As I said before, there are two S-rank people and Yi-gyeol-ssi, so what should I worry about?”

“It would be great if Min Ah-rin-ssi would come.”

“It’s good. So Woo-jin-ssi’s problem has been solved, right?”

“Pardon?”

“Woo-jin-ssi!”

“Mi, Min Ah-rin-ssi?”

Min Ah-rin, who ran to Kim Woo-jin before I even stopped her, said with a broad smile.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi allowed us to go to the gate! Good for you.”

“Re, really? Are you giving me permission?”

“……”

Kim Woo-jin looked at me with twinkling eyes.

I was going to think about it a little more. I can’t help it… I sighed and asked Kim Woo-jin to do something.

“Never leave my side.”

“Uung!”

“When I go out to battle, no matter what happens, you move with the healer team.”

“I will.”

“……”

“Can I go?”

Now I can’t say no.

“…I don’t need to give you permission. But it’s true that it’s dangerous, so just keep your word to be careful.”

“Okay. Don’t worry.”

Kim Woo-jin, who had been withering until just now, came to life at once. Min Ah-rin, who was looking at Kim Woo-jin, who looked happy, opened her mouth.

“It’s resolved well, so let’s order something delicious to eat! Chicken or pizza!”

It didn’t matter because it was still before dinner. I nodded and answered.

“If you’re going to order, let’s eat both, huh.”

“I will order.”

Kim Woo-jin picked up his cell phone.

“If you’re going to order both chicken and pizza, I like this place.”

“Set B?”

“Yes, yes. Set B plus extra coke…”

I sighed as I saw Kim Woo-jin and Min Ah-rin murmured to each other. As Min Ah-rin said, I hope there is no problem
