I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

"Pardon? About Han Yi-gyeol?"

"Yes."

At Cheon Sa-yeon's question, Kim Woo-jin made a bewildered face. He didn't expect he'd be summoned all of a sudden and asked questions like this. However, there was no way that a single attendant like him could understand the intention of the handsome Master. Kim Woo-jin, who was scratching the back of his head, answered immediately.

"Nothing special. Until the Master called, he was in the room as usual."

"Hmm."

Cheon Sa-yeon asked again, tying a dark blue tie, "Other than that?"

"Pardon?"

"Was there anything else unusual?"

"Yes, um..."

Kim Woo-jin hesitated for a moment. Unusual. Han Yi-gyeol's face, which faced him naturally before, came to mind. He had been an idiot who couldn't even make eye contact with him, but this time was different. The way he (Han Yi-gyeol) looked at him was dignified and showed confidence. Even his always withdrawn posture became straight like a model's, and everything changed, including his tone of voice, his accent, and his personality. He was like a different person.

"It was a little strange. He didn't cry or... It's hard to explain, but the atmosphere has changed."

But it was somehow difficult to tell the boss about this. He tried to explain as much as possible, but he didn't know if he did it right.

"Right."

Fortunately, Cheon Sa-yeon put on a suit jacket and said something else. "Today, Han Yi-gyeol is going out."

"Yeah."

"Follow him. And if you find something strange, report it."

Kim Woo-jin was a bit surprised by the command that followed, but he did not express his surprise and bowed his head. Up until this point, Cheon Sa-yeon had never acknowledged Han Yi-gyeol as a person.

He knew, of course, it wasn't because of a silly reason like he believed in Han Yi-gyeol. It was a natural choice since he was holding onto his weakness. All the followers knew that Cheon Sa-yeon had something to do with Han Yi-gyeol's last remaining blood relative.

'Indeed... he really is too different to ignore.'

An order was issued to monitor Han Yi-gyeol.

Kim Woo-jin recalled the memory of being surprised that Han Yi-gyeol, who came out from Cheon Sa-yeon's room yesterday, for some reason was not crying. He usually cried and trembled as if he had a seizure. It'd be nice if it wasn't the case, but if Han Yi-gyeol was planning on giving up his blood relative and had other plans...

"What an annoying bastard."

Kim Woo-jin wrinkled his face and clicked his tongue. He should have lived quietly like a dead mouse. Caused so much trouble.

Next day. Kim Woo-jin smirked as he followed Han Yi-gyeol as he left the hotel leisurely after ordering his room service. What's with all that free time? Did you really go crazy? Kim Woo-jin activated his ability.

Kim Woo-jin's ability was to 'blur his presence'. Although it wasn't a high-level ability that made him invisible, it was still useful to follow others.

Using his abilities, other's impression of him was blurred and his presence was sharply diminished. Even people who knew Kim Woo-jin's original appearance would pass by without recognizing him when he was using his abilities. The effect lasted until the ability was turned off, and there was no burden other than the fact that he'd get easily fatigued from the constant consumption of mental power.
