I Don't Want This Reincarnation [2]

253

When I closed the door as carefully as possible not to make any noise and stood in front of it, Yoo Shi-hyuk opened his mouth first.

"You're not surprised. Did Go Dong-ju tell you?"

"No, he didn't."

I straightened my back with my hands behind my back. I couldn't move until he allowed it.

"Dong-ju hyung-nim didn't say anything."

"Then?"

"I just luckily figured it out on my own."

When I answered shamelessly, pretending not to know, Yoo Shi-hyuk smiled and pointed to the sofa with a glance.

"Sit down."

As I meekly sat down on the other side of the sofa, he crossed his outstretched legs and lifted his toes. The tip of the black shoe gleamed smoothly in the light of the office light.

Yoo Shi-hyuk, who placed his elbow on the armrest of the sofa and tilted his head to rest his chin, stared at me without saying a word. I also shut my mouth and a suffocating silence fell in the office.

About thirty minutes passed like that. Yoo Si-hyuk, who had been watching me sitting without the slightest distraction, finally spoke.

"Do you have anything to ask me? For example... you want to know where Kwon Se-hyun has gone."

Whatever the excuse, Kwon Se-hyun had no choice but to follow this man's words. So, by now, he must know that I was meeting Yoo Shi-hyuk.

"He must have gone out for work. I'm not that curious."

Upon hearing my answer, Yoo Shi-hyuk gently curved the corners of his eyes.

"Se-hyun picked up something really interesting... your name?"

"...it's Han Yi-gyeol."

"Yeah, Han Yi-gyeol."

Yoo Shi-hyuk, who blinked slowly, continued speaking with a clear sneer.

"I think Employee Han Yi-gyeol must be very expensive. Or some cheap shit stuck in the mud."

"......"

"The bastards I saw in the hall back then, including you... maybe nine people. I personally looked into it out of curiosity."

There was no high or low voice as if talking about everyday life.

"Nine people, all unidentified, were living in the hotel on cash. With no previous records."

Yoo Shi-hyuk, who said that he had done a background check very naturally, clicked his tongue inwardly.

'I thought you'd only focus on me.'

Did he check all the faces of the other people behind him in that short time? This was clearly my mistake.

"An unidentified group who suddenly appears in Gangnam one day and works at Dies... how is it? Employee Han Yi-gyeol. Very interesting, isn't it?"

"Well. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't pretend and explain it to me in a comfortable way. I really like this kind of shit."

I tried in my head to think of a way to quickly change the subject or just ignore it. However, Yoo Shi-hyuk had been constantly asking questions as if he wouldn't give me a chance.

"Looking at the situation, it seemed that the other guys were following the orders of our Employee Han Yi-gyeol. You're a young bastard carrying as many as eight puppies."
