I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

“Kwon Se-hyun!”

Park Geon-ho’s cry came from beyond the burning flames. I gave strength to my legs and put Lee Soo-jin on my back.

‘You have to hold on…’

You can’t fall here. As I pushed out the flames blocking my view and walked out, I saw the guards who had fallen to the floor and Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk waiting for me. As soon as the fight was over, Woo Seo-hyuk was wearing a new shirt and pants.

“…let’s get out of here quickly.”

“What happened? Your face…”

Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, seeing my face, hardened their face at the same time. Damn, in that short time, the effect of the drug already feeling showed up?

“Let’s go now.”

“……”

At my urging, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded and carried Lee Soo-jin instead of me. As I left the room, I heard the ambulance siren. As planned, it seemed that Requiem heard our signal and reported it.

“With my ability, gasp, let’s fly…”

“…would it be all right?”

“I can’t help it.”

We were carrying a winged woman and Lee Soo-jin, we couldn’t go to the front gate, which was crowded with people or rescuers. Fortunately, the hallway windows were quite large, so there didn’t seem to be any problems getting out.

‘Ah, now… the drug…’

My heart was aching and my body was hot. The inside of my mouth was dry and my breathing became more stuffy, making the breath sound rough.

In a cold sweat, I gathered the wind and wrapped it around everyone’s body.

“Don’t let go of my hand.”

I took Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk’s hands, who were each carrying the wounded on their backs, and escaped from the window. Fortunately, there was no one behind the building as there was a crowd at the front door. Just in case, I flew high and moved to the parking lot where the car was parked.

“Gasp, huu… uh…”

Even with my eyes open, darkness kept coming from somewhere and obscured my view. The energy became more unstable and it was impossible to fly stably.

It was fortunate that the distance between the club and the parking lot was close. I staggered to the parking lot and came down.

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

Not Kwon Se-hyun, but Park Geon-ho called me again by Han Yi-gyeol’s name and grabbed my shaky shoulder.

“What’s wrong with you? Explain.”

“Ugh, drugs…”

With a mind that kept disconnecting while blinking my eyes, I remembered what happened with Lee Soo-jin earlier.

“Lee Soo-jin, that woman’s ability… it was telekinesis.”

“Telekinesis? Really telekinesis?”

“She’s a B-rank and her energy isn’t that strong… There may be limits to the use of the ability, but gasp, gave me a syringe…”

Even if it wasn’t a proper explanation, Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk immediately understood and frowned.

“It would be better to leave immediately. If what’s in the syringe is a drug, it’s highly likely that Han Yi-gyeol-ssi’s condition will worsen.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who was carrying Lee Soo-jin, put her in the back seat, filled her hands with handcuffs, a shutter item, and covered her eyes with blindfolds. Park Geon-ho also carefully put the winged woman next to her.

“Han Yi-gyeol and Woo Seo-hyuk sit in the passenger seat together.”

Normally I would have flown separately, but in my current state, I almost fell down on the way. It was then that I was about to nod my head without being stubborn.

“Ah…”

All of a sudden, my body lost strength and stumbled heavily. As I was about to collapse on the cement floor, Woo Seo-hyuk quickly caught me.

My vision was distorted. As if submerged in water, all sounds disappeared and my consciousness was sucked into the darkness.

* * *

“…-ssi. Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

“Uh, uuugh, ah…”

I hear a voice calling me. I could see a window in front of my eyes that couldn’t focus. The lights of the night view passing swiftly over it disturbed my mind.

Although it was clear that I was being held by someone, my body kept trembling strangely. Why is it so cold?

“…hold on a little longer, Han Yi-gyeol… soon… we will…”

“You’re listening… okay…”

Familiar voices. It was then that I realized that we were returning to the guild in the car that Park Geon-ho was driving. The presence of Woo Seo-hyuk sitting in the passenger seat with me in his arms.

I tried to say it was okay, but my lips couldn’t move well. I kept losing consciousness and it was difficult to think properly.

‘Now… the drug… how long has it been… in my body?’

10 minutes? 20 minutes? I was told it would take about 20 minutes for the effect to appear…

[Se-hyun-ah.]

“……!”

My eyes flashed open. The tension made my shoulders stiff and cold sweat ran down my temple.

…nonsense. No way. That can’t be… how did that man…

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi?”

[Se-hyun-ah.]

Woo Seo-hyuk and the man called me at the same time. I bit my lip until it bled and covered my face with both hands.

‘No…’

This is all fake. It was a drug-created hallucination, just hallucination. What I’m hearing right now is…

‘Calm down… just calm down…’

Now I understood why the talented people who drank drugs were so afraid.

‘My energy is more…’

The energy in my tensed body instinctively began to vibrate sharply. Please arrive soon. Please.

In case I saw the man’s face and used my ability, I closed my eyes and covered my face with both hands, waiting for the car to stop. One minute and one second felt like an eternity.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi. We are here.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who whispered in a low voice, picked me up and got out of the car. I rested my forehead on his shoulder and nodded.

“Hold on a little longer.”

“Take him straight to the 23rd floor, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk. I will follow soon.”

I couldn’t leave Lee Soo-jin and the injured woman in the car, so someone had to stay and clean up. Woo Seo-hyuk, who immediately understood what Park Geon-ho meant, carried me and walked to the parking lot elevator.

My vision flickered several times while I was riding the elevator to my room. Above all, the man’s voice.

[Se-hyun-ah.]

It kept stabbing my heart in pain.

“Uh…”

The energy continued to flow out of the body as the anxiety reached its extreme. Even though holding me like this could hurt him, Woo Seo-hyuk never let me go.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi, we have arrived.”

Woo Seo-hyuk pressed the door lock password urgently. As the door opened, familiar voices could be heard along with Fox’s crying.

“Yi, Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

“Han Yi-gyeol!”

“Did… did he get hurt?”

“He was drugged.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who answered on behalf of me, who was unconscious, carefully lowered himself onto the sofa. I heard a lot of worrying, but I couldn’t answer any of them.

“Ah…”

The hot fire that spread from my chest was consuming everything. Tears were flowing nonstop and I couldn’t control my body. The wind, which was more and more out of my control, blew sharply as if it was going to hurt anyone at any moment.

No, if I went on like this…

As I put strength in my arms and raised my upper body with difficulty, I quickly looked around with a blurry vision in tears.

Kim Woo-jin and Min Ah-rin looked at me pale, Ha Tae-heon rushing to me, Kwon Jeong-han with a surprised face, and Woo Seo-hyuk, who said nothing. And…

Kuung, as I fell down from the sofa as if my legs weren’t strong enough, I sat down and hurriedly stretched out my hand toward someone in front of me.

“Cheo, Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“……”

“Shackles, gasp, shackles me… again…”

I needed a shutter item. If it went on like this, like the previous victims of drugs, I couldn’t control my ability and attack everyone here.

That’s really… I hate it…

“Please, Cheon Sa-yeon. Please help…”

“……”

Please help me out.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who stood firm at my earnest plea, slowly moved his arm. As he tapped the centre of the watch as before, the chain shackles fell from the air.

Cheon Sa-yeon’s face, who had accepted the request, was too blurry to see properly.

After confirming that the chains were in a transparent state, I staggered to my feet with the shackles. Shaking off the hand of someone holding my body, I slowly walked towards the bedroom.

[Se-hyun-ah.]

As soon as I put my hand on the doorknob of the bedroom, I heard the man’s voice from beyond the door. My pale white hand trembled.

“……”

Tears ran down my cheeks and dripped down. Hesitating for a brief moment, I slowly opened my mouth without looking back.

“…sorry, I… a little, careless…”

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

[Se-hyun-ah.]

Ha Tae-heon’s call couldn’t reach my ears as the hallucinations resounded in my mind, which was clouded with drugs.

“More details, talk… later…”

As if I had hyperventilation, I was out of breath and the explanation was interrupted. Barely swallowing dry saliva, I spoke the most important words.

“I mean, don’t… don’t come in until I come out.”

There were no antidotes or neutralizers. The only path given to me was to endure the drug energy I didn’t know how long it would last.

The first was hallucinations. The second was a terrible pain inflicted on the whole body. The third was deep depression. But I got the drug undiluted in anything, so it might last longer or be more intense.

Either way, it was definitely not something to show anyone else…

I asked everyone again.

“Even if you heard a noise inside… you must not come in. Uh, never…”

[Se-hyun-ah.]

“……”

I couldn’t stand it any longer. I opened the bedroom door as if running away without hearing anyone’s answer.

Clank, thud. Clank.

I entered the room and locked the bedroom door, leaned against the door, and sat down. As soon as I put the shackles I received from Cheon Sa-yeon on my ankles, the wind that continued to wind around me stopped.

“Haha…”

At that time, I felt a sense of relief, but I laughed because I was laughing at myself. I lifted my gaze, still in tears that couldn’t stop.

An opponent in black shoes came up to me and covered my face with a hand with prominent bones. The man, who looked down at me with his back to the pure white light, smiled softly.

I called him quietly, trying hard not to frown.

“Director.”

His platinum blonde hair scattering white in the light was beautiful. The silver-grey eyes expressed his satisfaction with my attitude.

“Se-hyun-ah.”

Ah… I closed my eyes slowly. Then the hand that covered my face came down and grabbed my neck without hesitation.

It was the beginning of hell.
