I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

69

Kim Woo-jin, even after his energy, which had been running wild, calmed down, he could hardly come to his senses and slept. It was only after a full day had passed that he opened his eyes.

"Uu..."

Around 5 a.m., Kim Woo-jin searched for water with a groaning sound. As I waited for him to wake up without leaving my seat, I brought a cup of lukewarm water to his mouth.

Kim Woo-jin, who took the water and drank like a baby bird eating food without knowing who gave it, opened his closed eyes and looked at me.

"...Han Yi-gyeol?"

"Oh."

Kim Woo-jin made a surprised face and jumped his upper body. I set the empty glass of water on the side table and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

"Here is..."

"Guild hospital room. You are waking up in two days now."

"It's been two days? How come..."

"I heard you collapsed when the surgery was over. Don't you remember?"

"Fainting..."

Perhaps because Kim Woo-jin had just woken up, his mind was still hazy. After thinking for a while, the guy stuttered in a confused voice.

"My body, was a little hot. I thought it was a cold..."

After staring blankly at me for a moment, he wrinkled his eyebrows and grabbed my shoulder.

"Where are you hurt? Are you okay? The bleeding didn't stop, I'm afraid something will happen before you get to the hospital...!"

"I'm fine, so calm down."

Kim Woo-jin's eyes were red as if they were about to shed tears at any moment. His hand, which was holding my shoulder tightly, trembled.

The fact that he had worried about me enough to lose the balance of his energy could be felt on my skin again. I thought he would be even more anxious if I reacted emotionally, so I unbuttoned my shirt while speaking as calmly as possible.

"Now, see for yourself. No scars left, right?"

I unbuttoned the button all the way to reveal my wounded side. Kim Woo-jin, who blinked his eyes several times and stared at my body tenaciously, gently swept my waist with a careful touch.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"...ung."

Only then did Kim Woo-jin breathe a sigh of relief. I buttoned my shirt again and opened my mouth.

"You are more trouble than me. How is your body?"

"It's okay. Rather, it seems to be lighter than before."

Perhaps not noticing that his energy had changed, Kim Woo-jin tilted his head with a puzzled expression. There was no need to hold onto the kid who just woke up and give complicated explanations.

As I got up from his seat, I pressed Kim Woo-jin's shoulder firmly. Kim Woo-jin, who was lying down again, opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Sleep more. I'll come back with Min Ah-rin-ssi in the morning. You have something to listen to... You will probably be very busy soon."

"Why? What's going on?"

"I'll explain to you when you wake up."

The unstable energy had improved, but he would need a rest as there had been a lot of strain on the body. As I expected, he was tired, but Kim Woo-jin relaxed his body without resisting. He slowly closed his eyes a couple of times and then opened them, hesitatingly, he opened his mouth.
