I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Roheon’s help was also needed to properly understand the truth of the case.
I didn’t know if Ha Tae-heon would listen to me yet, but I thought it would be better to meet and talk.

It was so shameless of me to ask him to come to see me in a situation where I was looking for help, so I had to go to Roheon myself.
To do that, I had to release the shackles first.

“Hmm, I have to go see Roheon’s Deputy Master, so can you loosen the shackles?”

…with that in mind, for some reason, the atmosphere in the living room became cold in an instant.
What are these reactions?

“Well.
I don’t know why I have to do that.”

I looked around and was bewildered, but Cheon Sa-yeon opened his mouth with eyes that felt a lot of meaning.

“Can’t you understand the situation? The reason I tied you up was that you sneaked into the guild.
I can’t let you go easily.”

“No, you’re still talking about…”

“You are right, Master.
He could steal secrets from Roheon’s Deputy Master.”

I was about to say something because it was ridiculous, but Park Geon-ho nodded his head and intervened.
These punks really.

“What do you mean by right?”

“I’m more suspicious because you want to meet Roheon’s Deputy Master so much.
Isn’t that right, Master?”

“Surely.
I can’t let you meet him unless you call Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon to come here.”

I was stunned and got a headache to see Park Geon-ho and Cheon Sa-yeon talking as if I was a corporate spy.

Besides what? Call Ha Tae-heon to come here? To the Requiem Guild?

“Stop talking nonsense like that.”

It wasn’t anywhere else but inside the Requiem Guild.
Would he come if I called him? It was just saying that we shouldn’t meet.
Cheon Sa-yeon, who raised his lips as if it was funny to see me touching my forehead, tilted his head slightly.

“What do you mean by nonsense.
You never know until you ask, do you?”

“Of course, he would refuse.”

“This is so, I feel sorry for Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon.
He can’t be trusted this much…”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who said such things while knowing all about Ha Tae-heon, was so annoying.
If it was just the two of us without anyone else, I’d have cursed him at least once.

I kept my mouth shut and tried to glare instead of cursing, but Min Ah-rin, who was watching us quietly, asked with an innocent voice.

“But, Yi-gyeol-ssi, wouldn’t it be better to ask him? It’s very likely that he will turn it down, but if you’re lucky enough, he might come.”

“That…”

I was a little surprised because I didn’t think Min Ah-rin would put her words in this conversation.
I hesitated because I didn’t know how to respond and Woo Seo-hyuk came up with the same opinion this time.

“We have a good relationship with Roheon right now, so you don’t need to worry.”

“Pardon? No, I…”

“Above all else, doesn’t Han Yi-gyeol-ssi have a personal relationship with Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon? I thinks it’s worth making a light suggestion.”

Cheon Sa-yeon smiled and said something.

“That’s right.”

“……”

Is there no one on my side? In the sad reality, Fox, who had been on my shoulder, sent me comfort and cried ‘piik’.
Thank you, really.

“I understand.
If that’s the case, I’ll try to contact him… If he refuses, what will you do then?”

“I’ll think about it then.”

The answer was he didn’t release me in the end.
Annoying bastard.

“Then I’ll call Ji-hoon-hyung for a bit.”

“Please do so.”

“Yes.
I’ll try to persuade him.”

Kwon Jeong-han, who smiled softly through the transparent glasses, left the room.
Hoping for a positive response, I also took out my cell phone to call Ha Tae-heon.

‘Oh, come to think of it, I was going to try to contact Cha Soo-yeon in the morning.’

I was so distracted that I forgot.
I was sure she had something to say to me regarding Ha Tae-heon.

“Um…”

I couldn’t help it.
I couldn’t talk to Cha Soo-yeon right now, so I had to put it off until later.
I called Ha Tae-heon, pushing away my apology.

I brought the cell phone to my ear with a call connection sound and narrowed my eyes to the eyes of everyone who was looking at me.

“Aren’t you all busy? Don’t just look at me, do your own thing.”

“I’m unemployed.”

At those words, Park Geon-ho relaxedly leaned his back on the sofa and Kim Woo-jin hesitated and averted his eyes.
In the end, I could only sigh to see that no one left.

Meanwhile, Ha Tae-heon didn’t answer the call, so only the ringing tone continued for a long time.

‘Are you deliberately not picking up after seeing my name?’

Suddenly, my confidence was shattered at the thought that came to my mind.

I had a lot of things to do with him, so even if he avoided contact with me, it was understandable.
Besides, when we were together in Elohim’s house… that happened.

Seeing me saddened by the situation in which I didn’t receive the answer after waiting for a long time, Cheon Sa-yeon teased me.

“He doesn’t answer.
Is Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon avoiding you?”

“…be quiet.”

Really annoying.
I wished I could hit him once…

[…Han Yi-gyeol?]

It was then.
The long-awaited voice, accompanied by a rattling sound, came from over the receiver.
I was so happy that I smiled broadly without realizing it and shouted Ha Tae-heon’s name.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”

[Haa…]

Hearing my call, Ha Tae-heon let out a deep sigh that felt many emotions.

[Your voice is correct.
This number looks like the cell phone I gave you.]

It was then that I remembered the last time I had asked Ha Tae-heon to give me a cell phone.
I opened my mouth awkwardly, rubbing the nape of my neck.

“Ah, yes.
That’s right.”

[Are you in Korea?]

“Ah, yes.
That’s right.”

[…you didn’t go to the Requiem Guild, did you?]

“Umm, yes.
That’s right.”

Ha Tae-heon sighed once more as I answered hesitantly to the hard voice.

[Haa……]

Somehow, I felt some resentment, so I added an excuse.

“I leave my wallet and cell phone here in Requiem’s room.
I came to look for it, but somehow this…”

[If you had come to me, I would have given you both new ones.]

“Ey, then it will be a waste.”

[Is it a bad thing that it’s a waste right now?]

…so what’s the problem? I was puzzled by the resolute words for a moment and my eyes met the people who were looking at me with strange eyes.

“Hm, hm.”

I let out an awkward cough and lowered the corner of my mouth, which I didn’t know when it raised.
I was happy to talk to Ha Tae-heon after a long time, so I couldn’t help but…

Anyway, this wasn’t the time.
I straightened my face and brought up my original purpose.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi, are you busy right now?”

[Say it.]

“If it’s okay with you… could you come to the Requiem Guild?”

[…Requiem?]

When he asked the question, my saliva dried.
I’m very nervous.

‘I think it will be difficult.’

I already feel sorry for Ha Tae-heon, so it wasn’t easy to ask for help…

I hurriedly opened my mouth, worried that Ha Tae-heon, who was in a bad mood, might hang up the phone.

“That, there are circumstances.
I will explain it to you slowly.”

It was difficult to concentrate on the conversation here.
As I was about to go to the bedroom and turned my back to finish the call, Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed my arm.

“What?”

“Continue here.”

[……]

Because he spoke right next to the cell phone, Cheon Sa-yeon’s voice must have been heard by Ha Tae-heon as well.
Why was this kid all of a sudden?

“Let go.
I need to finish the call… hello? Ha Tae-heon-ssi?”

[I will go.]

“Pardon?”

[I said I will go.
To Requiem Guild.
I’m leaving right now.]

“…what?”

Suddenly? Wasn’t he in the mood to say no until now? I couldn’t keep up with the change and even though I got the answer I wanted, I was just confused.

Did I ever give him the feeling that I was forcing him unconsciously? I didn’t want to burden Ha Tae-heon with this.

“Hold on a second, Ha Tae-heon-ssi.
It’s not that…”

[Don’t do useless things and wait patiently.]

“Ha…!”

After saying that, the call was cut off.
What is this.

Standing next to me, who was standing dumbfounded, Cheon Sa-yeon looked at his watch and ordered Woo Seo-hyuk.

“He will arrive in about 30 minutes.
Wait in the hall ahead of time and guide Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon to this side when he arrives.”

“I understand.”

I barely came to my senses at the sound of Woo Seo-hyuk leaving the room and only then did I understand the situation.

I didn’t know why, but contrary to my expectation that he would refuse, Ha Tae-heon said that he was coming here right now.
Then I…

Thinking that far, my gaze turned to the shackles and chains hanging from my ankles.
Do you mean we should meet like this? Not anyone else, but Ha Tae-heon?

‘That’s a bit embarrassing…’

As soon as he thought of Ha Tae-heon’s disgusted face, heat rushed to the nape of my neck.
I hurriedly asked Cheon Sa-yeon with the chains connected to the living room sofa legs.

“Re, release this please.”

“No.”

Cheon Sa-yeon didn’t even look at me and cut off my request at once.

“I’m not going to run away, so let go! After all, Ha Tae-heon-ssi also comes here, right?”

“I’ll give it back to you literally.
I’m not going to run away anyway, do I really need to solve it?”

This punk…

Then, at the very least, I was about to ask for the chains to be removed, I stopped for a moment.
If you just put shackles on your ankles… wasn’t that a bit odd? It sounded like I had committed some heinous crime.

Piiik, pik!

When I was restless, Fox opened his small mouth and grabbed the chain and pulled it, perhaps wanting to help me, but there was no scratch.

“If Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon arrives, you will be busy just explaining the incident, right? Don’t do anything unnecessary and be quiet.”

Cheon Sa-yeon had the most determined expression I had ever seen.
Up until now, if I asked him, he had listened to me to some extent, but why the hell? I said I wouldn’t run away.

“Han Yi-gyeol, calm down.
Do you want me to bring some snacks?”

“That’s right, Yi-gyeol-ssi.
Don’t be depressed.
It doesn’t look as weird as I thought.”

“Why don’t you just give up.
Even Roheon’s Deputy Master thinks there is a reason.”

“……”

Kim Woo-jin, Min Ah-rin, and Park Geon-ho, who were listening to my conversation with Cheon Sa-yeon, spoke up one by one.
Again, no one was on my side this time.

Only Fox who was still whining while biting the chain was on my side.
Would Ha Tae-heon be on my side when he arrives?

‘It’s ruined…’
