I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

While waiting for another car to follow, I asked Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing next to me, and Cheon Sa-yeon, who bowed his upper body slightly, answered with a smile.

“Well, she’s the type of person who doesn’t like doing big things. Thanks to that, the guild master over there seems to be quite frightened.”

Did you say that she had a relationship with the master? I understood what he meant and nodded my head.

“They must have a good relationship.”

“They got married after a long relationship, so it must be.”

The bittersweet explanation was extremely dry without feeling any emotion. I looked up at Cheon Sa-yeon’s clear face once again.

Like Kim Woo-jin, I was also worried about Cheon Sa-yeon. Adding up his personality, it was more, but not less… would he be able to date? No matter how good he was, women wouldn’t like him if he had that kind of personality.

“…what’s with that gaze?”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been making eye contact with me for a while, opened his mouth with a subtle expression. I said, looking at Cheon Sa-yeon sadly.

“Don’t you want to date?”

“What?”

“I asked don’t you want to date? Deputy Master Chloe even got married.”

“……”

Perhaps it was an unexpected, Cheon Sa-yeon smiled with a frown as if he was dumbfounded. I didn’t know he could make that face like that.

“Chloe is 34 years old, so I think she’s old enough to get married.”

“…how old are you?”

“Me?”

Cheon Sa-yeon raised the corners of his lips instead of answering. He didn’t want to tell me. After all, wasn’t this information that could only be found by searching on the Internet? I didn’t bring my cell phone, so I couldn’t tell right away.

“If you won’t tell me, never mind.”

“Why are you suddenly curious about my age? If I’m 34 years old, will you marry me?”

“……”

Crazy bastard. As I glared at his fed up, Cheon Sa-yeon chuckled as if it was ridiculous. Just in time, Kim Woo-jin and Kwon Jeong-han, Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk got out of the car in a row.

I looked closely at the four people approaching us. Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk… As expected, it wasn’t good. Both of them had their neckties messed up as they came out, and there was a feeling of displeasure that couldn’t be hidden even on their faces.

‘I knew it.’

I also thought that I should have ridden with Woo Seo-hyuk. As I sighed, I found Kim Woo-jin’s cold face behind him and tilted my head. Did they fight, too? For that, Kwon Jeong-han’s smile was too normal.

Still, I thought the relationship had improved to some extent while they were together, but I guess I was wrong. Kim Woo-jin, who was striding towards me with a lifelike expression, made eye contact with me. Aigo, that.

“Han Yi-gyeol…”

Kim Woo-jin stood close and grabbed my arm. It was like a dog running to the owner who had left him and whining. I asked Kwon Jeong-han, who slowly approached me and bowed his head.

“What happened on your way here?”

“Um, it was very informative and enjoyable for me.”

In response to the gentle answer, Kim Woo-jin glared at Kwon Jeong-han, who said it was enjoyable. Somehow, it looked similar to me dealing with Cheon Sa-yeon. Maybe next time, I should have a conversation with Kwon Jeong-han without Kim Woo-jin knowing. Kim Woo-jin was sensitive, so I had to tell him not to make fun of him like that.

“Um? Master. You look strangely happy?”

Park Geon-ho, who had been walking around like a gangster in the back alley, blinked puzzledly when he saw Cheon Sa-yeon still smiling.

“Like Bodyguard Kwon Jeong-han said, I was also having a very informative and enjoyable time with Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Was this kid really crazy? I gave a warning with the meaning not to say more than that, but Cheon Sa-yeon continued talking naturally as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“Han Yi-gyeol said that he would marry me.”

“What?”

“Yes?”

Kim Woo-jin was startled by the word “marry” that came out somewhat out of the blue, and Woo Seo-hyuk looked embarrassed. Park Geon-ho whistled without saying anything, but his eyes widened slightly as if he was surprised.

“Are, are you serious?”

After Kim Woo-jin became contemplative, he asked Cheon Sa-yeon, not me. I hurriedly intervened before Cheon Sa-yeon could say nonsense again.

“Can it be real? I just asked him if he was in a relationship. I heard that Deputy Master Chloe is married to Athena Guild Master.”

Woo Seo-hyuk nodded his head with a look like that was it and opened his mouth.

“Come to think of it, I remember hearing the news that they got married last year.”

“Hm. It was quite luxurious in the hotel. At that time, I went to Washington as the guild representative.”

Park Geon-ho, who had folded his arms and rolled his eyes as if recalling that time, tilted his head and asked.

“By the way, I wonder why Master is not dating these days. Didn’t you meet without a break until last year?” (쉴 틈 없이 만났다고요, it’s like dating without a break but with whom!?)

“Meet without a break?”

When I asked in surprise at the shocking words, not only Park Geon-ho but also Woo Seo-hyuk responded that it was natural.

“Of course. Isn’t it rather funny that Master can’t meet a woman because of his looks and wealth?”

“Nonsense. His face and money aren’t everything, right?”

“That’s usually said by people who have neither face nor money.”

Cheon Sa-yeon smiled and accepted it. It was because he was just saying rude things. I frowned out of annoyance, Woo Seo-hyuk sighed and opened his mouth softly.

“Anyway, no matter who he met, it couldn’t last a month and broke up. It’s embarrassing to call it a relationship.”

“That’s true, too.”

Park Geon-ho agreed with Woo Seo-hyuk, which was rare. If Park Geon-ho said this then how much had his relationship been a mess (박건호가 이럴 정도면 연애를얼마나 개판으로 해 온 걸까)? Even in my suspicious eyes, Cheon Sa-yeon had a pleasant face. I didn’t know why the hell they liked him.

“Dating, well, it’s up to Master to take care of it. Anyway, he’s not in the age to talk about marriage. Let’s see… Aren’t you 29 this year, Master?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Oh, no. I was going to keep it a secret, but I got caught.”

Looking at me freaked out, Cheon Sa-yeon touched his lips and said as if teasing me. Either way, I was shocked at the astonishing age of 29, I couldn’t even react properly.

Now, I was hearing a series of incredible facts, unwantedly.

“You didn’t know, Han Yi-gyeol?”

“…I didn’t know.”

Looking around, I thought I was the only one who didn’t know the age of Cheon Sa-yeon. No, it was natural. These people, Cheon Sa-yeon was the guild master and boss.

Cheon Sa-yeon’s age wasn’t mentioned in Abyss either, so I had no choice but to know unless I knew it myself. Besides, I wasn’t idle enough to look up the age of Cheon Sa-yeon.

‘Still, is that so, 29 years old? At the age of 29, being a guild master wasn’t enough, so he became crazy like that?’ (29살에 길드 마스터인 것도 모자라서 저렇게 또라이가됐다고?, not sure)

Did this make sense? Wasn’t that a scam too? No matter how much a character in the novel, he was more than the main character, Ha Tae-heon…

‘Oh, wait.’

How old was Ha Tae-heon? I hurriedly dug through my mind and recalled the contents of the Abyss. The age of Ha Tae-heon described in the novel was 27 years old. Then… Ha Tae-heon and Cheon Sa-yeon were only two years apart.

“Crazy. Gross.”

I covered my mouth with my hand. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was happily watching my changing face from moment to moment, came lightly rubbing the nape of my neck as if to calm me down.

“Let’s stop playing and move on. It’s time to arrive soon.”

As Cheon Sa-yeon moved, the airport staff who was waiting took the lead and started to guide. The reporters, who had been standing in the distance, started flashing their flashlights as if they were waiting as we entered the airport.

“You are here.”

It was Choi Mi-jin who had come in advance and was waiting. Choi Mi-jin, dressed in the same black suit as the last time we met, greeted Cheon Sa-yeon and greeted me, standing behind him.

“I didn’t know you would come in person, Head of the Centre Choi Mi-jin.”

“It’s no one else, but Deputy Master Chloe, so I have no choice but to come. Whether publicly or personally.”

Judging by the way she talked, it seemed that Choi Mi-jin was also acquainted with Chloe. She was also acquainted with the head of the management headquarters centre. I gradually became curious about the person named Chloe.

“The plane has just arrived, so she will be coming out this way soon.”

Shortly after Choi Mi-jin’s words were finished, the gate opened and a woman in a blonde trench coat walked out along with her associates. She was wearing black sunglasses, but I saw a picture of her in the documents provided by Woo Seo-hyuk, so I could tell at a glance that she was Chloe.

“Oh, Head of the Centre Choi Mi-jin. It’s been a long time.”

Chloe found Choi Mi-jin, who was at the forefront, and approached her with a bright smile. She was wearing an interpreter item, so she spoke Korean fluently.

Choi Mi-jin, who held Chloe’s white hand and shook hands lightly, answered with a smile on her lips.

“You’re coming, so I can’t help but come.”

“I’m happy. I expected someone to meet me at the guild headquarters, but the Head of the Centre Choi Mi-jin was very busy that I wasn’t expecting it. It’s nice to see your face like this.”

“The same goes for me, Deputy Master Chloe.”

It was the first time Choi Mi-jin, who always looked tired and sensitive, gave off such a soft atmosphere. Well, every time I met Choi Mi-jin, Cheon Sa-yeon was by my side… that was understandable.

After finishing her greetings with Choi Mi-jin, Chloe turned her head to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Master Cheon Sa-yeon. Thank you for picking me up.”

At those words, Cheon Sa-yeon opened his mouth with a sad expression.

“What do you mean by sending a contract and saying thank you?”

“Even if I sent it, did you ignore it until now?”

Cheon Sa-yeon’s attitude must have been disappointing, but Chloe didn’t seem to care at all. Rather, she even laughed as if she was looking at a feisty cat.
