I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

“That…”

“No! It’s not?”

I quickly cut off his words, fearing that Cheon Sa-yeon might say something useless.

I hurriedly picked up the tablet PC that had fallen on the floor and handed it over to Cheon Sa-yeon behind me. The lips that were forcibly pulled up trembled.

“If you want to see the picture, just tell me. Now, take it and see comfortably.”

“Oh, my.”

“How can you suddenly show up from behind without any sign of presence? Please be careful next time.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who smiled brightly, answered.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Ahem, then… let’s continue the meeting.”

As if nothing had happened, I was about to go back to talk about the art museum, but Min Ah-rin looked at me with a struggling expression.

“No wonder… you haven’t left the room for a while since waking up yesterday, so you did something…”

“…we had some conversations. It’s about Master Cheon Sa-yeon’s past, so I have something to talk about with the said person.”

While I was reading Cheon Sa-yeon’s book, others had heard from Elohim to some extent explaining the situation of the Praus Cult, Kali, and Cheon Sa-yeon.

I put my hand on Ha Tae-heon’s shoulder, who was staring at me with suspicious eyes, and changed the topic of conversation once again.

“It seems the best way to go to the auction house is three of us, me, Ha Tae-heon-ssi, and Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“We don’t know what will happen during the auction. Would that be okay?”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who recognized my efforts, asked a question with a small sigh. Cheon Sa-yeon, who returned the tablet PC he received to Woo Seo-hyuk, said.

“Then the three of us should go. If you have two SS-rank and one out-of-class talented person, it will be that much safer.”

Cheon Sa-yeon had the same opinion as me. The doll controlled by Abel could be hidden inside the auction house, and in the worst case, Samael could appear directly, so it was better for the three of us, who were safe from mental control, to go directly.

“Do you agree with that, Ha Tae-heon-ssi?”

Ha Tae-heon, who looked at Cheon Sa-yeon and me with a dissatisfied expression, nodded his head as if he had no choice to answer my question.

“Now that we have been invited, we have no intention of avoiding it. I think three people would be appropriate.”

“Hm, so can the rest of us wait upstairs?”

“Yes. If there’s a problem with the auction house, I’ll signal it right away. And Kim Woo-jin.”

In response to Park Geon-ho’s words, I shifted my gaze to Kim Woo-jin, who was standing blankly.

“Uh, ung?”

“Can you move separately from your clone? We have to look inside and outside the building at the same time.”

“It’s possible as long as I don’t fall too far.”

“Then please do so. If you look at the inside and outside at the same time, you will be able to check the movement of the cult more clearly.”

Woo Seo-hyu, who was operating the tablet PC while listening to my explanation, opened his mouth.

“We will gather as much information about the museum and auction as possible during the rest of the week. We will also hire outsiders and send them to the museum as visitors.”

“Please do so.”

The Praus Cult, who had been quiet since Doctor’s death, had finally begun to move.

I didn’t know what the purpose was, but as long as they had sent an invitation in the first place, I couldn’t ignore it.

‘There’s a high possibility that Kali’s blood was used again this time.’

They might have created something similar to the space Doctor created in America. Like me, Cheon Sa-yeon must be prepared to some extent.

So we had to be more careful. I hoped that useful information would be gathered for the rest of the week.

The cool autumn night air touched my skin.

Piiik, pik!

As I went out to the garden wearing slippers, Fox followed me slowly and cried happily.

It had been more than ten days since I came to Cheon Sa-yeon’s house, but now was the first time I looked around the garden. A crescent moon floating in the centre of the clear night sky without a single cloud caught my eye.

A detached house with a garden in Seoul. It was amazing.

I remembered Cheon Sa-yeon’s childhood when he was living in a warehouse room in a big mansion. Even when he slept alone in the old office that Chloe had furnished. Then, I became a little proud of the current Cheon Sa-yeon, who had succeeded as much as this.

‘I’m proud of him, but I’m not his father…’

How ridiculous would it be if Cheon Sa-yeon heard it? I smiled and walked through the garden.

Piik! Pik!

Fox, who had been in the room all the time, flew around excitedly.

Because of what happened before, people keep coming out and looking at Cheon Sa-yeon, so I felt stuffy and came out to get some fresh air, but I didn’t expect Fox would like it this much. I should have brought him out earlier.

‘But how long do I have to stay here?’

I was comfortable with only close people and Fox didn’t need to be hid, so it was good in many ways, but this was Cheon Sa-yeon’s house in the end.

In the first place, I only came here to stay while reading the book, so it might be better to go back to the guild room tomorrow.

In fact, the room in the guild was just a place to stay for a while. I wasn’t even a member of Requiem, so I should leave someday.

When the problem of the Praus Cult was solved, I should save money and get a single room. It was time to think about it.

Piiik!

Fox, who had flew to the other side alone and played, ran quickly into my arms with a high-pitched cry. As soon as I reflexively hugged Fox, I heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Aren’t your clothes too light?”

Cheon Sa-yeon approached and handed over the cardigan he had on his arm. Since I was only wearing a white T-shirt and pajama pants, I accepted it with gratitude.

“I just came out for a while. I want to take a look.”

“It’s not that big, so there wouldn’t be much to see.”

“It’s wide enough. And it’s nice to have a garden.”

As I got closer to Cheon Sa-yeon, Fox in my arms waved his tail in dissatisfaction. Then he buried his face in my arm.

“What about the others?”

“Some of them will be in the room… Elohim and Healer Min Ah-rin in the kitchen.”

The two of them together?

Elohim and Min Ah-rin, who were talking with a smile on their good faces, immediately came to mind. It went out surprisingly well…

Anyway, it was good. Even if not, I had something to ask Cheon Sa-yeon.

“When am I going back?”

“Um?”

“When will I go back to the guild? I’ve read all the book, so I don’t need to be here.”

Of course, I asked about something that should be pointed out, but Cheon Sa-yeon’s expression on hearing what I said was very complicated and subtle.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who stood still for a moment, blinking his eyes, then tilted his head slightly.

“Why should you go back?”

“What?”

“I don’t know what kind of answer you want from me. Do you want me to kick you out?”

Rather, I was bewildered by Cheon Sa-yeon’s behaviour who asked me back.

“What are you talking about? I stopped here for a while for safety and my original place of residence was on the 23rd floor of Requiem. So…”

“So, if I tell you to leave, will you leave? If I tell you not to go, you won’t go?”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who cut off my words, smiled bitterly and came closer.

Cheon Sa-yeon’s face shone brightly in the light from the living room that flowed through the window on the terrace leading to the garden.

“If you’re simply asking for my opinion, of course, I can give you an answer. Don’t go, Han Yi-gyeol. Stay here. At my home.”

“……”

“But you will refuse.”

“…for me, the room on the 23rd floor you prepared is enough.”

“Yeah.”

I now understood what Cheon Sa-yeon’s words mean. My back stiffened with tension and it was difficult how to react.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who looked down at me with an unknown gaze, opened his mouth again.

“Didn’t you notice my feelings yesterday?”

“Why are you talking about that now?”

“It’s only been a day, but I wonder if there’s already a difference.”

I sighed in relief at the sly reply.

As the conversation between me and Cheon Sa-yeon grew longer, Fox who I was holding began to notice.

“What else can I do other than kick you? You know that’s not the case now.”

“Then, is it okay to kiss you whenever I want?”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

I said I had been fine so far, but it was like this again.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who didn’t care about the disgusted expression on his face, gently stroked my cheek. The appearance of Cheon Sa-yeon, whose skinship increased dramatically in one day, was very uncomfortable.

“That’s too much. I’ve been working hard ever since.”

“Don’t do it.”

“I want to.”

“I said stop.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who didn’t even listen to me, smiled softly from a distance so close that I could feel his breathing.

Seeing it, I had an ominous feeling. The mischievous smile was incredibly suspicious.

“Let go…”

Cup!

The moment I was about to shake off Cheon Sa-yeon’s hand that was holding my face, a kiss resounded with a tickling touch on my lips.

Cheon Sa-yeon, this madman just kissed me. Cheon Sa-yeon, who made a noise and kissed me again, who was stunned, let go of my face only then.

Piiik! Piik!

Fox, who suddenly saw the scene Cheon Sa-yeon kissed me while holding me, made a sharp cry.

“…are you really crazy?”

“Why? You told me not to kiss you, so I kissed you instead.”

“Stop joking around. Next time, I can’t stand it any longer…”

I bit my teeth and was about to say something serious, but I quickly turned my attention to the presence I felt nearby. Like me, Cheon Sa-yeon turned his head and checked the living room.

“Ah…”

Kim Woo-jin, who was standing looking at us in the living room beyond the terrace window, made eye contact with me and stepped back with a contemplative face. Slowly, the cell phone in his hand fell to the floor.

My heart sank as much as Kim Woo-jin.

‘No way…’

Did he just see Cheon Sa-yeon… kiss me?

A chilling silence fell between me, Cheon Sa-yeon, and Kim Woo-jin. I had no idea what to do with this situation.

After being restless for a while, I couldn’t stand it any longer and opened my mouth first, but Kim Woo-jin turned around and left.

“Oh, my.”

“……”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes, who met just before turning his back on me, were full of mixed emotions of surprise and bewilderment.

‘I’m in trouble…’

Cheon Sa-yeon lightly shrugged his shoulders as he left me, who had hardened as it was.

“We got caught.”

“…you motherfucker!”

When I finally exploded and clenched my fists and slapped his shoulder hard, Cheon Sa-yeon in a pretentious voice said, “Ouch,” and made excuses.

“I really didn’t know either.”

“The SS-rank didn’t know there were people on that street?”

“Ung. I’ve been focusing on you.”

“Shut your mouth, please.”

Piik! Piik!

A headache came over from Kim Woo-jin, who must have been misunderstood, Fox who kept crying in shock, and the shameless Cheon Sa-yeon. How do I solve this?

Sorry, this one is unedited by Rin.

I’m too sleepy and too busy QAQ

I’ll edit it later!

And this one is… haha. Poor Woo-jin but sorry, I can’t support you :’)
