I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

We returned to the hotel and informed everyone that Kwon Se-hyun had accepted the offer. Min Ah-rin said with a look of relief at the news.

“That’s fortunate. With this, we can get to know the bar in more detail.”

“Yes. The number of people required isn’t bad.”

For the safety of Edward, Min Ah-rin, and Fox who had to stay at the hotel, at least one had to remain, so it was better. Except for me, who had to go to see Kwon Se-hyun every day, everyone decided to take turns going to work in three people in one group.

“Let’s check from time to time if there’s anything strange while working.”

Ha Tae-heon and Kim Woo-jin, along with Park Geon-ho, who smiled at Cheon Sa-yeon’s command. With these three people, it was confirmed that they went to work on the first day.

Kim Woo-jin, who was good with his hands, Ha Tae-heon, who had worked many part-time jobs before awakening, and Park Geon-ho, who could understand the atmosphere of the store with his sly personality. It was the perfect members to get off the first start.

* * *

The next day, an hour before the store opened, I arrived at Dies at around 5 o’clock, following Kwon Se-hyun’s words. Just like yesterday, Go Dong-ju, who was waiting at the entrance of the store, looked at us and sighed deeply.

“Follow me.”

The place Go Dong-ju showed us was the changing room on the back of the first floor. Go Dong-ju, who handed over the new uniform wrapped in plastic wrap and the key to the locker, said with a firm voice.

“Each of you, take one locker and use it. Change the clothes and go out alone. I will tell you what to do.”

“I understand.”

Go Dong-ju looked at me with an uneasy expression then turned his back and walked out as I answered him and received the uniform and key.

“The facilities are better than I expected. A bar of this size in Gangnam. It must have cost you some money.”

I talked to Park Geon-ho, who was looking inside the dressing room interestingly, by holding out the uniform with the letter P on it.

“Perhaps one in the kitchen and two in the serving. It’s the easiest and fastest way to learn.”

“Hmm. If there are two people serving and one in the kitchen, Kim Woo-Jin will be in charge of the kitchen then me and Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon will be serving.”

“Han Yi-gyeol, what about you?”

Kim Woo-jin asked with a worried expression.

“I will be working next to the owner as it was decided yesterday. There will be no problem.”

I smiled with the meaning that it was okay, but Kim Woo-jin’s hardened face didn’t loosen. Ha Tae-heon opened his mouth as he ripped off the uniform plastic wrap and unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing.

“For now, we have no choice but to do what we were told.”

“Yeah. It’s so big and has three stories high, so we have to be quiet for the time being if we want to take a thorough look. Ah, Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon. From now on, I will simply call you Ha Tae-heon-ssi, how about it?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I agreed with Park Geon-ho and took off the hoodie I was wearing. Then, Kim Woo-jin, who was close to me, was startled and quickly moved away from me.

“Hurry up and change your clothes.”

“Uung…”

Kim Woo-jin, who took the uniform I gave out, nodded his head. Meanwhile, Park Geon-ho, who had changed into his uniform black suit, checked himself in the mirror.

“The shirt is a bit tight, but it’s not bad for a suit given by the store for free.”

Park Geon-ho and Ha Tae-heon wore a white shirt and black pants, and Kim Woo-jin wore an additional black waist apron. I wore a black suit and a black tie.

After changing clothes and coming out to the hall on the first floor, Go Dong-ju, who was waiting for us, explained aloud to the surrounding staff.

“There are newcomers to work with from today. The detailed explanation was given by Hyung-nim yesterday, so let’s move on to it. Who is Kim Woo-jin?”

“This is him.”

I put my hand on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder standing next to me and answered, Go Dong-ju pointed to the inside of the bar with a chin.

“Go over there. There will be someone who can tell you what to do. And for the other two, a guy named Choi Gyu-jin (최규진) will come here in a little while, so you wait.”

Listening to Go Dong-ju, I carefully looked at the faces of the staff gathered in the hall. All of them, including the just mentioned Choi Gyu-jin, were familiar.

“And the last, you…”

“……”

“Follow me.”

It’s going as expected. I smiled and greeted Kim Woo-jin, Ha Tae-heon, and Park Geon-ho who were looking worried as I climbed the stairs after Go Dong-ju.

“I’ll be back. See you all later.”

I went to the third floor hoping that they would do their job well even without me. Even while climbing the stairs, Go Dong-ju was constantly nagging at me.

“Since Hyung-nim has ordered you, I will guide you, but I’m always watching, so don’t even think about doing useless things.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Listen properly! What was Hyung-nim thinking. At such an important time…”

Listening to his murmur, I lowered my gaze.

‘Important time…’

Yeah. That’s right. So this space was even more unpleasant.

“Go in.”

Go Dong-ju, standing in front of the office door, knocked on my behalf and then lifted his chin. I slowly raised my hand, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed the door slowly.

Kwon Se-hyun, sitting in a seat, looking through the documents, was seen through the slowly opened door. As I closed the door and entered the office, Kwon Se-hyun’s black eyes turned to me. After meeting his eyes for a while, I opened my mouth first.

“As you ordered, I went to work and changed my clothes.”

“Oh. Formal words?” (I’m sorry, I can’t tell the difference between formal and informal words)

Kwon Se-hyun raised the corners of his lips and smiled. I answered with a slight smile.

“First of all, since I’m an employee, I have to be polite.”

“That’s a good attitude. Sit down.”

Kwon Se-hyun beckoned me to go to the sofa and sit down as he also sat across from me. The light vigilance emanating from the body, the straight waist, and the two eyes looking straight at the opponent. It was just like me as if I had a mirror in front of me.

Likewise, Kwon Se-hyun, who carefully looked at me from head to toe, spoke in a calm voice.

“I did everything you asked for. You know it’s your turn, right?”

“……”

“You said you would give me information about the future. Does that mean you know the future after all?”

When I heard the question I had guessed, I answered after a moment of silence.

“I know.”

“…that’s impossible.”

“It’s not impossible.”

I continued to explain while looking at Kwon Se-hyun’s hardened face.

“But don’t you already know the personal information that ordinary people wouldn’t know?”

“What do you mean?”

“Ha Tae-heon and Cheon Sa-yeon. You already know about them.”

Kwon Se-hyun’s eyes trembled for a moment.

“Not only Ha Tae-heon, but you know Cheon Sa-yeon. And about me.”

“I know, but… it couldn’t be the same person…”

“It’s the same person.”

I lied to use Kwon Se-hyun more easily. And I didn’t want to tell him frankly, even if I had no purpose.

They met Kwon Se-hyun and we were already living a very different life from ‘Abyss’. It was the result of me, who had the ability to intervene to any extent. It was just a fake, it was the part I didn’t want to share with the human Se-hyun.

“Then you really… Han Yi-gyeol?”

“Yes.”

“But Han Yi-gyeol…”

“Should be dead. Now, somehow, I’m living well.”

Han Yi-gyeol died while protecting Cheon Sa-yeon. It was definitely the case the previous time.

“His personality… wasn’t this bad.”

“……”

No way. Who was saying bad things about someone?

‘And the real Han Yi-gyeol is more than me…’

Recalling Han Yi-gyeol from the book, I quickly stopped thinking. Thinking about it now was useless.

“What does it matter who I am? It would be good for you to focus only on the gains that you could get.”

Kwon Se-hyun, who was worried with a complicated expression, eventually sighed.

“Information about the future. Did you mention that you give me one a day? Why is there only one in a day?”

“Isn’t that enough? I didn’t see you like that, but you are very greedy.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Well… just because I know your future doesn’t mean I know everything else. And we can’t just spread out this important information.”

When I gave an appropriate answer, Kwon Se-hyun frowned with a look of dissatisfaction. At this point, I turned the subject.

“Therefore, what should I do from now on?”

“Follow after me in moderation. When the time comes when I need to do something else, I will order you to do it separately.”

“I like that because it’s simple.”

“And before you leave work, give me one piece of information about that great future. From today.”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Hm…”

Kwon Se-hyun, who smiled as if my innocent attitude was ridiculous, got up.

“Then let’s start right away.”

“Pardon?”

“Coffee.”

Kwon Se-hyun took out his wallet from his suit pocket and tossed the card in front of me. The card that fell on the table gleamed in silver under the fluorescent lights.

“Buy it.”

“……”

When I heard the unexpected request, all my thoughts were cut off. Buy… coffee…? Are you running me a coffee errand right now?

‘This bastard?’

Kwon Se-hyun smiled brightly at me, who couldn’t accept the situation and sat stupidly.

“Why? You can’t do it?”

“Ha…”

I laughed at the attitude that it didn’t matter if I didn’t like it or just leave right away. Feeling the burning inside, I grabbed the card and jumped to my feet.

“Is that possible? I will go right away.”

After answering in a friendly tone, I left the office and went down to the first floor, muttering all kinds of swear words.

“Han Yi-gyeol?”

“Ong? Han Yi-gyeol, where are you going?”

Ha Tae-heon, who was wiping the table in the hall, and Park Geon-ho, who was moving the chair, looked at me, but I left the building, pretending not to know it. I’m busy right now, so let’s talk later.

The closest cafe to Dies was just a five-minute walk across the street. When I arrived at a famous franchise cafe and opened the glass door, a female employee greeted me with a lively voice.

“Welcome.”

Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the store. Without looking further, I went straight to the counter.

“May I take your order?”

“Yes.”

I smiled broadly and ordered without looking at the menu.

“Please add three shots to the iced Americano.”
