I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

141

I crossed the sky and raised my head for a moment. The yellow moonlight was half-covered in the dark clouds. I thought the weather was bad, so I increased my movement speed.

On the terrace where I arrived after a long flight, a welcome person was waiting for me.

"Han Yi-gyeol."

"Ha Tae-heon-ssi."

Ha Tae-heon greeted me with a blanket in one arm and a mug in the other. Ha Tae-heon, who was standing with his back against the light from the living room, passed the railing and put a blanket over my shoulder when I went down safely to the terrace.

"Thank you."

Even if it wasn't, it was a little chilly, so I picked up the mug that he was holding out with grateful. The glass was filled with steaming hot chocolate.

I felt a little relieved from the smell of chocolate coming up.

"I was going to contact you sooner, but something happened and I was a little late."

"It's doesn't matter."

"Can I take off my shoes here for a moment?"

After seeing Ha Tae-heon nod, I took off my shoes on the terrace and entered the living room. The warm interior gently wrapped around my frozen body.

I looked around the living room, which had not changed much from a few days ago, and opened my mouth.

"It looks like it will rain soon."

"Aren't you dressed too thinly?"

"I know. I think it would have been better if I wore a coat."

It was late, past 1 in the morning. Standing next to the sofa in the dark living room with only the standing lights turned on, I shifted my gaze to Ha Tae-heon.

"How long is your vacation?"

"About two weeks left. I purposely added another vacation."

"I'm sorry for making you use your precious vacation on me."

"Don't apologize."

Ha Tae-heon's warm hand gently stroked my cold cheek.

"I want to hear something else."

Something else? After thinking for a while, I carefully opened my mouth.

"Um... thank you?"

Maybe it wasn't a bad answer at all, he somehow passed the topic of conversation.

"Did you clean up before coming?"

"To some extent."

I smiled bitterly as I touched my empty wrist. Ha Tae-heon, who stared at me for a while, put on an expression that was hard to believe.

"Are you sure?"

"You really don't trust me."

I joked lightly and took a sip of the hot chocolate. The sweet scent spread throughout my mouth.

"Items with a risk of location tracking were removed, and I left my cell phone behind. I brought nothing but the cell phone that Ha Tae-heon-ssi first gave me."

"What about the Requiem Guild employees?"

"Yes?"

Ha Tae-heon raised one eyebrow.

"It seems that there are quite a few people close to you. At the Requiem Guild."

Recognizing the meaning of his words belatedly, I bowed my head and pondered for a moment.
