I Don’t Want This Reincarnation-Chapter 105: Episode 27. Flowers Are Formed

EPISODE 27. Flowers are formed

Sending Woo Seo-hyuk, who wasn’t another attendant, probably meant not to avoid it. I forcefully swallowed the sigh that was in my mouth and told Kim Woo-jin.

“I’ll be back, so don’t fight. I will come soon.”

“I will go too.”

“No, it’s fine. Wait in the room.”

I didn’t know what Cheon Sa-yeon would do, so it was better to go alone. Because he could strangle my neck again like last time.

“…got it.”

Kim Woo-jin, who had been hesitating, nodded his head without stubbornness. I left Kim Woo-jin and Kwon Jeong-han in the room and followed Woo Seo-hyuk, who was walking ahead.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

“Yes?”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who stopped in front of the elevator, turned to me and opened his mouth.

“How is your body? I heard that you were awake, but I was busy with work, so I couldn’t visit you.”

Then, I remembered Min Ah-rin’s words that Woo Seo-hyuk had come to visit me while I was fainting. I smiled awkwardly and scratched my cheek.

“I’m fine. I was going to contact you even if you didn’t, but I couldn’t because I didn’t know Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi’s number. I heard you stopped by the hospital room while I passed out.”

“The situation was serious, so I was worried.”

Worried? I got on the elevator that arrived and looked into Woo Seo-hyuk’s eyes.

“That, you must have been very surprised that I disappeared… I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize. It’s not something that Han Yi-gyeol-ssi apologizes for.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who looked at me after pressing the button to the top floor, looked blunt as usual, but his voice felt somewhat soft.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi is a kidnapped victim. Moreover, the opponent was under mental control, so it’s not a matter for Han Yi-gyeol-ssi can do anything about it. However, it looks like we need to be more careful in the future.”

“Um.”

I blinked for a moment and then smiled. I wondered where I had heard it.

“A few days ago, Team Leader Park Geon-ho also said that.”

“…is that so?”

It was a calm reply, but for a brief moment, I could see his eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t seem to like the fact that he said the same thing as Park Geon-ho.

“Is there any special reason why you feel uncomfortable with Team Leader Park Geon-ho?”

I got off the elevator that arrived just in time and asked Woo Seo-hyuk.

It was strange to see Park Geon-ho, who seemed like a crazy person, who had a basically positive mind, and Woo Seo-hyeok, who was always calm, so sensitive only to things related to each other. Watching it from the side, I was curious.

“There is no particular reason. From the moment I first met Team Leader Park Geon-ho until now, I have never been comfortable with him.”

That was a neat explanation. Actually, even if there were no major incidents, there were people who didn’t fit well enough that it was hard to feel good about each other. Even Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk were both undefeatable, so it might have been an instant that their relationship deteriorated.

“More than that, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

“Yes?”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who gestured to the attendants standing in front of the representative room, looked at me and said.

“You seem to have had an unpleasant affair with Master.”

“Ah.”

How did I manage to pass Kim Woo-jin over it, but Woo Seo-hyuk had seen all of my expressions from the front, so it was worth noting. I answered by forcefully raising the corners of my lips.

“Just, a little…”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. It’s not a problem that can be solved by avoiding it.”

Come to think of it, I heard similar questions like this at the gate of the G5 Area as well. In a way, not much had changed since then, but… it was true that Woo Seo-hyuk was unusually often caught me with the situation.

“Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi?”

Thinking that we should be more careful in the future, I looked up at Woo Seo-hyuk, who was standing behind the door of the representative room. Woo Seo-hyuk, who lowered his head slightly as if contemplating as before, pulled something out of his suit pocket and held it out.

“Eat it.”

What fell from a large fist onto the palm of my hand was a small, round candy wrapped in pink wrapping paper. Suddenly, why candy? Not even an item. I blinked because I was puzzled, but after hesitating for a while, Woo Seo-hyuk opened his mouth.

“Sweet, don’t you like it?”

“Um. Yes. I like it, but…”

“I have a schedule now, so I have to go outside. You can eat candy after you meet Master.”

“Ah.”

I wondered what it was, I thought it was Woo Seo-hyuk’s own consolation. Belatedly understanding the meaning of the candy, I nodded and took the candy in my hand.

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Then I will go first.”

After confirming that Woo Seo-hyuk, who had turned his back neatly, left, I looked at the candy in my hand again. The pink wrapping paper shone beautifully in the light of the hallway lights.

The surprise gift made me feel a little better. If you saw that the packaging was pink, was it strawberry-flavoured? It was pretty funny when I thought about it again that a bulky man in a black suit gave me a little pink candy.

‘It’s not bad.’

I put the candy in my pocket and put my hand on the door handle of the representative room. As I took a deep breath and pulled the handle, the door gently opened and the inside of the representative room came into my eyes.

“Yeah. Even if it wasn’t, the management headquarters sent me the data.”

I saw the back of Cheon Sa-yeon, who was talking on the phone with his back turned. I closed the door quietly and leaned back. A faint female voice could be heard on the phone.

“…that’s useless. No. Tell them not to pay attention.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who answered in a hoarse voice, turned his head and looked at me.

“I don’t know what’s funny about it. That’s enough, so I’ll call you when the schedule is announced. Don’t annoy me.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been conversing while staring at me, hung up the phone mercilessly with a tired expression and pointed to the sofa with a chin.

“Sit down.”

As I sat down on the sofa as he said, Cheon Sa-yeon approached me, putting his cell phone in the pocket of his suit.

“You chose Kwon Jeong-han as your bodyguard.”

As if something had happened, Cheon Sa-yeon, wearing a three-piece suit that was more angled than usual, opened his mouth first. I answered, leaning my stiff body against the back of the sofa.

“You told me to pick one.”

“It’s not a bad choice. It’s a skill that can be used at its best in the current situation.”

It was a drier evaluation than expected. When I bowed my head and didn’t answer, Cheon Sa-yeon looked at me for a moment and continued.

“The grey case on the table. Open it.”

“……?”

I looked at the case in front of me at a somewhat absurd remark. What was this all of sudden.

I turned my gaze to Cheon Sa-yeon, hoping for an explanation, but he said nothing with a light smile. I sighed at the attitude that he wouldn’t deal with the case until I opened it and reached for it.

“Cell phone?”

It was a new cell phone that was in a luxurious-looking case that contained jewels. Besides, it was a familiar design.

“Now that the number has been leaked, it would be better to change it. Use it from now on. Leave your old cell phone behind.”

“Ha…”

As I stared at my new cell phone that gleamed smoothly in the light, I distorted my face at Cheon Sa-yeon’s words.

What, this.

“What are you trying to do with me?”

From the time of shamelessly handing over the G5 gate data until now. It was very unpleasant to be swayed alone by the unpredictable attitude of Cheon Sa-yeon. I wasn’t happy with any of the people who were disappointed that they didn’t like me, or them, who strangled me and took care of me now. (본인 마음에 안 든다고 실망했다느니 어쨌다느니 목을 졸라 놓고, 이제 와서 챙겨 준들 하나도 반갑지 않았다, not sure)

Biting my lip, I pondered then put the new cell phone back into the case.

“I don’t need.”

When I pushed the case away, Cheon Sa-yeon said in a soft voice.

“Would you need it?”

“I accepted the bodyguard because I didn’t want the Gangnam incident to happen again because of me. I don’t want to receive anything from you, nor do I have the desire to receive anything from you.”

“I have no desire to receive…”

Cheon Sa-yeon followed my words with a smile and muttered. I felt anxious about that look. In a situation where Cheon Sa-yeon and I were alone, this flow didn’t always end well. I got up quickly.

“I can handle my cell phone on my own. Mind your own…!”

Before I could finish speaking, he grabbed my collar and threw me on the sofa. Cheon Sa-yeon climbed onto my body in an instant and grabbed my thigh and pressed it down.

“Damn it, stop doing this!”

Even though I expected it, the physical difference that I had to endure was annoying. I clenched my teeth and pushed Cheon Sa-yeon’s chest with force, but no matter how hard I pushed his stone-like body, I couldn’t even dream of it.

“Stay still.”

You were saying the same thing. Ignoring it, I continued to struggle and a sharp pain rose from the thigh he was caught.

“Ugh, don’t…”

“If you keep moving, I’ll take it as a sign because you touch me.”

“Nonsense, ugh!”

The moment there was playful look in the black eyes of Cheon Sa-yeon who looked down at me, his hand that was holding my thigh gently swept inward. A shiver ran down my spine at the strange sensation I felt on the inside of my thigh.

‘He, he’s out of mind. This crazy…’

My body stiffened with a sense of fear that was worse than when my neck was strangled. When I stopped rebelling and calmed down, Cheon Sa-yeon, who raised the corners of his pick lip and laughed at me, began to rummage through the pockets of my trousers, which was originally his purpose.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking with that little head, but Yi-gyeol-ah.”

Cheon Sa-yeon took my cell phone out of my pocket without any difficulty. I took it because Kim Woo-jin was nagging me to carry it with me, but if I had known it would be like this, I would have left it behind.

“Take it as you always do. Don’t do anything you’ll regret again.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was watching my forehead wrinkled, gave strength to his hand holding the cell phone. In an instant, the screen cracked and the cell phone shattered to the point that it was hard to recognize its shape.

“There must have been a lot of useless calls. Feel free to use your new phone.”

“Ha, you crazy bastard.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who relentlessly threw the cell phone that was crushed like paper, got up and forcibly pushed the case that had been pushed back into my hand.

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

I looked at the case and bit my lip, but Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed my chin with his cool hand and lifted it up. From a distance close enough to feel his breathing, Cheon Sa-yeon bent his eyes and smiled.

“Don’t forget my relationship with you. Throw away unnecessary things like emotions and only think about the benefits that can be gained from me. I will do the same.”

“……”

Throw away unnecessary things like emotions? The moment I heard those words, something shattered in my head.

“Okay.”

I smiled annoyedly and grabbed Cheon Sa-yeon by the collar roughly. Then Cheon Sa-yeon lit up his eyes as if it was fun.

“I’ll pull it out and eat it properly, so look forward to it, you bastard.”

T/N :

Sa-yeon, you would regret saying those words for sure.

And the shattered sound in Yi-gyeol’s head… Are you sure it’s in your head? Not your heart!? (• ▽ •;)
