I Don’t Want This Reincarnation-Chapter 266

After I washed in the bathroom inside the hospital room and took out new clothes prepared in advance, I heard a knock on the door.

“Yes.”

The door gently opened and Cheon Sa-yeon entered the hospital room. Cheon Sa-yeon looked at me with a slightly surprised expression as if he thought I was still sleeping and opened his mouth.

“You’ve already awaked.”

“I just woke up. I washed up because it felt uncomfortable.”

Having finished buttoning my shirt, I looked behind Cheon Sa-yeon.

“What about the others? And Fox.”

“Ha Tae-heon and Woo Seo-hyuk are meeting Chloe and the others are resting in the next room. Looks like Healer Min Ah-rin is carrying that white guy.”

“Where are you coming from?”

“I had a talk with Chloe. What’s wrong?”

It was just the right time. There was something I was going to say to Cheon Sa-yeon before meeting Chloe.

“Come here.”

When I beckoned, Cheon Sa-yeon blinked for a moment and then walked quietly. He was wearing a loose-fitting T-shirt for some reason.

I grabbed Cheon Sa-yeon’s left arm, who came closer, and lifted his sleeve up. His arm, which was revealed to have received treatment in the meantime, was clean and without any wounds.

“Who treated you?”

“Healer Min Ah-rin.”

“Did Min Ah-rin-ssi scold you?”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who chuckled as if hearing a funny sound, tilted his head slightly.

“Well, it seemed she was glaring at me a bit.”

“I guess Min Ah-rin-ssi still looked at you as a guild master.”

“If you’re dissatisfied, you can punish me.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, looking down at me and looking forward to it, was incredibly annoying.

“You always have a problem with that mouth.”

I sighed and looked back Cheon Sa-yeon’s arm in my hand.

I knew from a long time ago that if the situation worsened, he would harm his body first, but seeing it in front of my eyes, the shock was greater than I expected.

“Don’t do that again.”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon’s ability was strong enough to be recognized by anyone, but he was just as dangerous. Feeling bitter, I made eye contact with Cheon Sa-yeon.

“You must not have forgotten why I gave you those earrings, Cheon Sa-yeon.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was listening to me with his eyes slightly wide open, soon smiled softly.

The red earrings, an S-class recovery item, were received as a reward from Edward. The earrings, which hadn’t been taken off since receiving them, sparkled under the light of Cheon Sa-yeon’s black hair, which was still softly dishevelled.

It was an item that was the opposite of Cheon Sa-yeon, whose ability was activated only by his own blood. Nevertheless, I wanted to give it to him, and in the end, I put them in his ear with my hands.

I didn’t want him to treat his body recklessly. Cheon Sa-yeon, who knew it as well as I did, gently raised the corner of his mouth and touched the bracelet on my wrist with his thumb.

“Of course, I remember. But Han Yi-gyeol, if you don’t want me to do that, shouldn’t you also change?”

“…that’s right.”

A slight tickling rose on the wrist where Cheon Sa-yeon touched. He felt it and I continued to answer.

“I have long believed that in order to protect others, I had to bear everything on my own. That’s the only way to protect them.”

Cheon Sa-yeon would fully understand why I had no choice but to have such thoughts. Because he and I looked alike.

“But that wasn’t the right answer… it was just I’m too arrogant.”

“Don’t call yourself arrogant.”

This time, Cheon Sa-yeon took hold of my hand that was moving away.

“You sure are and I am. I was forced to endure while carrying a heavy burden. With a life that I couldn’t protect while thinking that there was only one way.”

“……”

“But that doesn’t mean that everything that has happened so far is our fault. It would be arrogant to try to handle it alone.”

His words pierced my heart sharply. I answered with difficulty and with a complicated mind.

“I didn’t mean to…”

“I know.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had the same bitter face as me, slowly let go of my hand.

“There’s nothing more we can do about the past. That’s difficult for me, too. No matter how many times it repeats, it’s not the same as the previous life I’ve lived.”

Even Cheon Sa-yeon, who was trapped in time due to the regression, couldn’t do anything more than go back to the past and change his mistakes.

It was impossible to live the exact same past again. I felt that fact deeply when I met Kwon Se-hyun.

“So from now on, you have to choose without making any mistakes, Han Yi-gyeol.”

“……”

I knew what to choose without even having to listen to the explanation.

When I last met Kwon Se-hyun in my dream, I was already prepared.

“…I want to continue living with everyone.”

Previously, I was forced to live in order to keep the promise of ‘I want you to live’.

So I thought it was okay to spend my life as long as I could protect others. I continued to throw myself away under the pretext of protecting others.

However, after going through a lot with everyone and seeing Kwon Se-hyun’s death, I changed my mind. Now, instead of being forced to live alone, I want to live happily together.

“Yeah.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who heard my answer, smiled with satisfaction.

“That is enough.”

In this way, the purpose of me and Cheon Sa-yeon became completely the same.

I have to stop the Praus Cult and Kali from putting the world into unrest, locking Cheon Sa-yeon bonded in time, and threatening the lives of my precious people. so that something like this didn’t happen again.

* * *

While we spent more than a month and a half in space, 15 days had passed in the real world.

Fortunately, time in space seemed to pass faster than in reality. When we went to the red market and didn’t return, Chloe and Jake immediately checked the location of the last disappearance through the talented person the next day and waited since then.

“There was someone who has a space ability among the employee. The employee told me it seemed like you entered the space… we didn’t know when you were going to come out, so we sat down and waited.”

“I see. I’m sorry. It took us two weeks or so.”

“It’s enough for everyone to return safely.”

Chloe smiled softly as she set the teacup filled with black tea in front of me.

“I heard that you had been locked up in the space for over a month. Thank you for protecting Eddy.”

“On the contrary, we were greatly helped by Edward-ssi. Without Edward-ssi, we wouldn’t have been able to get out of there. If that’s okay with you, I’d like to thank him.”

“Of course, it’s fine. But right now, Eddy is sleeping again after finishing his meal… How about seeing him later? It must have been that he was very tired.”

That’s it. He must be felt relieved after returning to the real world safely and meeting his family.

Edward was a talented producer who confidently led us outside, but he was still young. Once again, I was relieved that he returned safely without any injuries.

“Anytime is fine with me. Please pass it on to Edward-ssi.”

“Leave it to me. Talented Han Yi-gyeol was looking for a producer, right? Li Wei… we have specially arranged for him to rest in the guild building ward.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes. There was a familiar name on the list of rescued producers, so we moved him to the guild instead of the hospital. There is nothing wrong with his body, so don’t worry too much.”

“Can I see him right away?”

“It seems that the Producer must have woken up by now, I will tell the attendant in advance so that you can meet him. Should I tell the people who came with you to the location of the hospital room where the Producer is staying?”

“I’d really appreciate it if you could.”

“What is it. You are welcome to ask for anything like this.”

Thanks to the quick-witted Chloe, it was easier to meet Li Wei.

When I left the drawing-room after talking with Chloe for a little more, the attendant who had been waiting in the hallway in advance led me to the room where Li Wei was. As I followed the employee downstairs, I saw everyone waiting for me in front of the hospital room door.

“Did you meet Deputy Master Chloe?”

“Yes.”

“Have you met Producer Edward?”

As I approached them, Min Ah-rin asked me a question following Cheon Sa-yeon. Everyone must have been worried about Edward, who was still young, like me.

“Edward is still sleeping. She said he was tired.”

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

Hearing my words, Min Ah-rin let out a relieved sigh.

Piik! Soon after, I felt soft hairs on my cheeks, accompanied by a familiar cry. It was Fox who was with Min Ah-rin before and flew to me with his invisibility.

Standing on my shoulder, I wanted to hug Fox as he rubbed his body on my cheek, but I had to endure because there were many eyes here and there.

“Han Yi-gyeol, are you going in?”

Ha Tae-heon, who was standing closest to the door of the hospital room, asked. With regret, I patted Fox on the back and nodded my head.

“Yes. Let’s go in now.”

After knocking a couple of times, I opened the door. In the hospital room with the same interior as where I woke up, I saw Li Wei getting up from the bed and patting his back just in time.

“Uing? What. Why are you coming all the way here?”

“Long time no see, Old Man.”

As I stepped forward to say hello, Li Wei opened his eyes wide and pointed at me with a trembling hand.

“Thi, this damn guy…!”

“Are you sick anywhere?”

Chloe had told me that he was healthy, but I pretended not to know and asked. However, Li Wei completely ignored my words and screamed.

“The man I met at that time, the filthy annoying guy!”

What the hell with the filthy annoying guy? Why was the modifier so long?

People who heard Li Wei’s cry began to murmur behind me.

“Hmm… I’m sure they know each other.”

“What else did Yi-gyeol-ssi do for such a reaction?”

“Didn’t Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon say that they met together? Do you know why the Producer did that?”

“…I kind of understand to some extent.”

“……”

I can’t believe this, really.
