I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

157

"At first, I was thinking of reopening the passage I used a week ago."

Elohim walked forward past the cosmos full of various colours. I followed him, gently stroking the pale pink cosmos petals.

"I think it would be better to open a new path."

At the end of a beautiful field of cosmos flowers spread out under the bright sunlight, there was an old forest with huge trees tangled. Unlike this peaceful and gentle place, the forest exuded an overly dark and heavy atmosphere.

"Here you go."

As Elohim waved his hand in the air once, an oval entrance appeared in front of him. It looked very similar to the gate entrance, but strangely, it shone with a silvery light rather than a dark blue light.

"Where did it lead to?"

"This is the entrance to the inside of the gate in D23 Area of ​​Korea."

"...is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Ha Tae-heon looked at Elohim with suspicious eyes at the answer that seemed to be natural.

"You can't go into a place where safety isn't guaranteed."

"Oh, no. But this is only one open passage here."

A rabbit jumped next to Elohim, who smiled softly. A rabbit sniffing around the entrance looked up at him.

"It's good thing you come."

Elohim, who leaned down and stroked the rabbit, pointed to the entrance.

"You don't seem to believe me at all, so let this child in first."

The rabbit jumped straight up towards the entrance as if it understood his words. The small, round body disappeared beyond the entrance and within a minute, it showed its cute face again outside the entrance.

"Good job. Kid."

The rabbit pricked its ears once to Elohim's thankful and ran out with a more vigorous movement than before. Turning his back from the rabbit that was moving away, he looked at Ha Tae-heon leisurely.

"As long as you're not weaker than that child, you will be able to walk back to Korea safely. How is it?"

As Elohim sarcastically said in a friendly tone, Ha Tae-heon's forehead was wrinkled horribly. Ha Tae-heon responded that he couldn't believe what Elohim did for the entire week he was here, so that level of sarcasm was understandable.

Ha Tae-heon still responded that he was uncomfortable, but the rabbit came back alive, so there was no doubting it anymore. I stood behind him and made eye contact with Elohim.

His golden eyes were clearly visible. It meant the time had come. I smiled bitterly and grabbed Ha Tae-heon's arm.

"Ha Tae-heon-ssi."

Ha Tae-heon, who made eye contact with me even though I hadn't said anything yet, had a hardened face for some reason. I opened my mouth hoping that the expression I was making wouldn't look too painful.

"Actually, I... I'm..."

"Say it."

"That..."

The pounding of my heart rang in my ears. In an instant, the tension reached an extreme, to the point where I felt dizzy. I wanted to give up everything right away and run away, but if I did, there was no turning back.

While I hesitated, I opened my mouth at the same time as Ha Tae-heon, who was looking at me and Elohim alternately with his eyes narrowed.

"Han Yi-gyeol. It doesn't matter if you say you want to stay here."
