I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Late at night when darkness fell, I, alone in the room, lifted the mattress of the bed after a long time.

I took out my hidden cell phone and dialled the only saved number without hesitation. The call was barely connected when the long ringing tone was almost cut off.

“Its me, Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

[…right.]

Ha Tae-heon answered calmly, wondered if he expected me to contact him. I was thinking about how to have a conversation, but surprisingly, Ha Tae-heon opened his mouth first.

[That day.]

“Yes?”

[Did you go back and get treatment well?]

“Um… yes.”

I answered with an awkward smile. I guess my condition wasnt good. Ha Tae-heon asked me all these things. I brought out the main point with a smile on my lips.

“Are you very busy these days?”

[To some extent.]

“Well, Id like to meet you once.”

Ha Tae-heon wasnt even in front of me, but somehow I felt uncomfortable. As I gently stroked the nape of my neck and spoke carefully, Ha Tae-heon spoke in a somewhat teasing tone.

[Date?]

“Pardon?”

Suddenly, I wondered what he was talking about, but I remembered that I had called him out while talking about a date before. Youre making fun of me. Damn it.

“Yeah, well… date. Yes.”

When I answered with a dismal way, Ha Tae-heon returned to his usual voice, as if he didnt tease me.

[Then Ill see you now.]

“Now?”

[Come out.]

“Its late… Are you okay?”

[As far as I remember, we met later last time.]

Thats right. I checked the time on the clock hanging on the wall. 12:23 am. It was just past midnight.

“Thats better for me. Arent you tired?”

[You are worried about unnecessary things.]

“……”

Yeah, you are good. You were saying that because youre SS-rank, right? I sighed and nodded my head.

“I understand. Where should I go?”

[Lets meet where we met last time.]

“Last time… Is it near the hotel?”

[Right. It would be better to go to a place where we can meet and talk first.]
