I Don't Want This Reincarnation [2]

250

After leaving Go Dong-ju and his employees behind, who were busy cleaning up, we all returned to the hotel, took a short break, and then gathered in the room.

Thanks to this, I was able to explain in a calmer state after calming my stomach entangled with complicated emotions and even taking the shower.

"As far as I know... Dies was originally owned by someone else."

"Is it the man who came late to be that someone else?"

"Yes."

Piik, Fox let out a faint cry and rubbed his head against my cheek. He noticed my depressed mood and his comforting gesture made me feel a little better.

"No wonder. That's why he kept asking me to call him Manager, not Boss."

Park Geon-ho touched the corner of his mouth and muttered as if he understood. After taking a sip of the warm water from the cup, I continued.

"It's not like a day or two for Dies to be checked by Gyeongseong. Of course, it's the first time they've been pushed in like today."

"What are those gangsters after? Store?"

I lowered my gaze at Ha Tae-heon's question and pondered for a while, then opened my mouth.

"Yes. Dies is right. To be precise, they are aiming for the land where Dies is."

"The land."

"Gyeongseong is a somewhat reputable construction company. Those who came today are organizations that Gyeongseong uses behind the scenes."

There was curiousity in the eyes of everyone who was listening to my story at the word "construction company". Indeed, the story of fighting over land was unfamiliar and new for these people.

"You guys know that there's an old alley behind the back door of Dies. If you look at it from there, that's the land that Gyeongseong has invested in. And Dies is in a state of about half of the land that Gyeongseong intends to use."

"Umm, so it looks like they are trying to force the people out of the store by threatening them."

"It's cumbersome for Gyeongseong, too. Originally, it would have been planned to make a deal with the original owner and take it over with ease."

In fact, he was even making a deal with Yoo Shi-hyuk. The man, selling a store like that would have been as easy as the blink of an eye.

However...

"The owner of the store changed before the transaction was even completed and the current owner has rejected Gyeongseong's offer. So now this is the situation."

"Is there any reason he turned down the offer?"

"That..."

When I couldn't answer Min Ah-rin's question, Park Geon-ho opened his mouth instead.

"He seems to love the store quite a bit. The employees and atmosphere are good."

"Aha. He seems to be very caring for the people around him."

Min Ah-rin looking at me and talking as if he was amazing made me feel embarrassed. It wasn't that Park Geon-ho said anything wrong.

"The most important part is missing."

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been listening quietly with his arms folded, spoke for the first time.

The most important part... Even if I didn't have to listen, I could guess what he was talking about.

'He must be curious about what kind of relationship I have with Kwon Se-hyun.'

Even if I told them what I had been through so far, it might not be easy for everyone to accept. Even so, having decided to explain as honestly as possible, I waited nervously for Cheon Sa-yeon's next words.
