I Don’t Want This Reincarnation-Chapter 256
That evening, as I entered the office, Kwon Se-hyun, who looked at me with a slightly surprised expression, asked.
“What’s wrong with your face?”
“What is my face?”
“The wounds are all gone.”
“Ah. Min Ah-rin-ssi… I mean, I was treated by a healer.”
Kwon Se-hyun, who heard the name Min Ah-rin, rolled his eyes and nodded his head belatedly.
“Come to think of it, there was a healer named Min Ah-rin.”
“Yes. You’ve actually seen her a couple of times. You haven’t talked to her.”
The first time I fell into this space and the first time Yoo Shi-hyuk came into the store. It wasn’t in a situation where I could introduce Min Ah-rin twice.
“That’s amazing. I can’t believe you can be healed so perfectly.”
“She can’t cure a disease like a cold, but she knows that external wounds can be cured.”
“External wounds…”
“If you are seriously injured, the doctor will have to check your condition before she can use her healing ability… but it’s true that it’s great, though.”
Kwon Se-hyun, who quietly listened to my explanation, smiled bitterly.
“…right. That’s a really great ability.”
“……”
After that, a brief silence settled in the office. Kwon Se-hyun, who had been staring out the window like a habit, soon turned to me.
“I have been thinking about it since I heard the information from you yesterday.”
Tuk, tuk, Kwon Se-hyun lightly tapped the desk with the documents on it with his index finger.
“It sure looks good that we hit first.”
“I expected you to come to that conclusion.”
“Well, there’s not much else you can do anyway.”
That’s true. At this point, I have touched on the most important part.
“What are you going to do to Park Seok-jae?”
“We must refuse. We are good enough.”
“No.”
I remembered Park Seok-jae who I met again after coming here. The face I had seen just before I died overlapped with the face that had a friendly smile.
“Don’t say no and call Park Seok-jae.”
“What?”
“Excluding the guys below him, only Park Seok-jae. If we lie that we have the wrong information, it will be easy.”
“Um… wait, let me sort this out.”
Kwon Se-hyun, who had been thinking for a while as he touched his lips, soon opened his mouth.
“Han Yi-gyeol, you already knew who the traitor I was thinking of was. Then you would definitely know how I see Park Seok-jae.”
“Of course, I noticed.”
“You want me to call Park Seok-jae here?”
“Yes. It’s okay if calling Park Seok-jae alone.”
“It would be safe now. If we call Park Seok-jae, our plans may leak.”
If it was our information, it was talking about me and my people. The number of enemies was over 60, Kwon Se-hyun couldn’t win without our help.
‘Anyway, we’ll be leaving this place when the exit opens, so it doesn’t matter if information leaks out…’
I couldn’t explain this to Kwon Se-hyun as it was.
“I understand that you think it’s dangerous. But if we do well, we will find out if Park Seok-jae is really a traitor or not through this fight.”
“……”
“Isn’t Park Seok-jae the one that bother you the most in this situation? Trust me and call him. I’ll make sure Park Seok-jae doesn’t wander around anymore.”
The way to call Park Seok-jae was simple. All Kwon Se-hyun needed to do was to contact Park Seok-jae first and ask him while deliberately leaking other information and go with him.
For example, ‘Five days later, I got the news that about 30 people from Gyeongseong and Sacheonghwa were gathering at the construction site. If there are that many people, it’s worth fighting for, so I’m going to attack first, but I hope you stay by my side.’ If he spilled the beans like that, Park Seok-jae would take the bait.
Even if I left that to Kwon Se-hyun, he would do just fine. Kwon Se-hyun, who had been in conflict for a long time after hearing my story, eventually nodded his head.
“Alright. In the first place, you also got the information that they will be gathering in five days, so we should accept that kind of proposal. If Park Seok-jae is the only one we call, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.”
“You are making a wise decision.”
Kwon Se-hyun, who smiled faintly following me, opened the desk drawer and pulled out something.
“Take it.”
“What is it?”
It was a black box in the shape of a rectangle. At Kwon Se-hyun’s glance, I carefully opened the box lid, revealing a cell phone lying in that small place.
“What the… is it a cell phone?”
“It was Go Dong-ju who save it. He opened it under his own name, so use it comfortably.”
“Oh.”
This wasn’t that bad? Kwon Se-hyun and Go Dong-ju’s numbers were saved in the phone book. Looking at Kwon Se-hyun’s familiar number, I put the cell phone in my pocket.
“You must have been quite frustrated because you couldn’t contact me.”
“Who in the world doesn’t have a cell phone these days?”
“We don’t have it.”
Exactly, it was there, but it wasn’t working. Even so, I was inconvenienced because I couldn’t use electronic devices.
“Thank you. I will use it well.”
When I thanked him with sincerity, Kwon Se-hyun leaned back on the chair and raised the corner of his mouth.
“All right, you should answer it on time if I call.”
“It’s hard to say for sure. I am a busy person, too.”
“Don’t talk nonsense and go call Go Dong-ju. Make a plan together.”
“Yeees.”
As I was kicked out of the office, I went down the stairs and smiled slightly.
* * *
Five days later, five eight-seater cars lined up at the back door of the store. They were cars owned by Park Seok-jae and he lent them first.
“Thanks to you, we can all move comfortably together. Thank you, Park Seok-jae.”
“Aigo, Hyung-nim. Why are you thanking me for something like this. I’m going with you, so it’s only natural.”
It took an hour by car to reach the destination, the construction site. So it was nice to have a car, but it was a little annoying because all four drivers were subordinates under Park Seok-jae.
I didn’t expect he was going to play tricks like this. Even if he died, he didn’t want to come alone.
I went to the place where my people were gathered and said quietly so that neither Park Seok-jae nor anyone else could hear it.
“First, we get in the car and go to the construction site. I will stick with Kwon Se-hyun.”
“Will you be okay?”
Kim Woo-jin asked with a worried face.
“If anything happens while you are in the car…”
“It will be very unlikely. Park Seok-jae is also waiting for us to fight Gyeongseong.”
Ha Tae-heon, who quietly listened to my explanation, tilted his head slightly.
“Then, that guy named Park Seok-jae got involved in this fight to gain something?”
It was only a few hours ago that Park Seok-jae, who had delayed answering by giving excuses to think about it, accepted Kwon Se-hyun’s proposal. So I couldn’t explain to everyone what kind of person Park Seok-jae was.
“It’s pretty much the same. Park Seok-jae knew that we were outnumbered compared to our opponent, so he got in. That person firmly believes we will lose.”
“Hm…”
Ha Tae-heon gave a pathetic look to Park Seok-jae, who was chatting happily next to Kwon Se-hyun. It did look stupid in many ways.
I checked the time on the cell phone I received from Kwon Se-hyun a few days ago. It was after midnight on a Tuesday and 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
“My guess is that it will be over in less than an hour after arriving at the construction site. They are all ordinary people.”
I couldn’t stay long since I left Min Ah-rin, Edward, and Fox with Kwon Jeong-han. Park Geon-ho, who briefly whistled at my words, smiled.
“I am already looking forward to having to fight by interfering with the gangsters’ territorial disputes.”
“Yes, yes. We all know that we can’t do morning exercise anyway. Now get in the car.”
After confirming that everyone got into the car, I went back to Kwon Se-hyun. While I was away for a while, Park Seok-jae was working hard to persuade Kwon Se-hyun.
“Since there’s plenty of cars, don’t ride with the younger ones, just go with me, Hyung-nim. Isn’t it complicated to ride with several people?”
“Oh? Se-hyun hyung-nim decided to ride with me.”
Of course, I had no intention of letting Park Seok-jae do it. As I wrapped my arms around Kwon Se-hyun’s waist and walked in brightly, Park Seok-jae’s thick eyebrows twitched unpleasantly for a moment.
“I guess it’s because I’m a little shy, I haven’t had close friends with anyone other than Se-hyun hyung-nim yet. Right, Hyung-nim?”
When I asked with a bright smile, Kwon Se-hyun placed his arm on my shoulder and nodded his head.
“Oh, right. This guy is a bit sensitive, so I need to be by his side.”
His arm was heavy no joke. As Kwon Se-hyun meekly agreed, the corners of Park Seok-jae’s lips trembled.
“Ahem… is that so?”
“The three of us can ride separately. If it’s Seok-jae hyung-nim, I won’t feel uncomfortable.”
“That sounds good.”
When I brazenly called ‘Seok-jae hyung-nim’, Park Seok-jae’s forehead was horribly distorted. I didn’t stop there and asked with a deliberately pitiful expression on my face.
“Can we ride together?”
“Tsk… do whatever you feel like.”
In the end, Park Seok-jae, who couldn’t refuse, turned his back on me with a fed-up look. As expected, there was nothing more useful than Han Yi-gyeol’s face. Kwon Se-hyun looked down at me, who was proud in my heart, with strange eyes.
What. Why do you look at people like that?
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a person behaving like this to Park Seok-jae.”
“Why do you only do this to me when Boss is doing the same?”
Kwon Se-hyun lightly shrugged his shoulders at the question I asked and threw out a word.
“Are you and I the same?”
Then he went to get in the car first without hearing my answer. I was left all alone, dumbfounded and burst into laughter.
‘It’s the same, you idiot.’
