I Don't Want This Reincarnation [2]

"...let go."

The arm held me didn't move at all. I shouted again, trying to shake it off.

"Let me go!"

The person who supported me by hugging my waist as I was about to fall down whispered lowly.

"Wait."

As expected, it was Cheon Sa-yeon. An unknown feeling of betrayal came over me.

I just made up my mind and moved on. I resented Cheon Sa-yeon for blocking my chance to kill him.

"Why, why... are you blocking me..."

"Maybe there's another way."

"Come now?"

Tears kept falling down every time I blinked.

Why was Cheon Sa-yeon blocking me and why was Kwon Se-hyun looking at me with such a face... There were only things I couldn't understand.

"We don't have much time left... I must kill him."

No one knew how long this space, which had already begun to collapse, would last. It was a situation in which the underfoot could disappear immediately.

Even Cheon Sa-yeon knew that. Yet he didn't back down.

"After you kill him? Do you think you can handle that weight, Han Yi-gyeol?"

"What does that matter now?"

"It's important."

Cheon Sa-yeon added strength to the hand holding my wrist. A burning pain swept over me. The body, which was pushed to its limit due to excessive tension, couldn't withstand the brief pain and lost its strength in an instant.

The jackknife, which left my hand, bounced on the floor several times and fell in front of Kwon Se-hyun. The blade of a jackknife the length of an adult palm shone.

"Edward is checking this space again."

"......"

"You don't have to carry this burden. I mean..."

Cheon Sa-yeon who gave me an explanation while holding me couldn't finish and shut his mouth. It was the first time that Cheon Sa-yeon, who was always thinking about profit, showed this kind of behaviour. It was kind of funny and a dejected smile came out.

"It's no use."

The subject of this space was me and no one else. I knew that killing Kwon Se-hyun was the only way out of this place.

If I had to kill him anyway, I wanted to do it myself. It was the last line from which we could never back down, no matter how much Cheon Sa-yeon blocked me.

As I struggled to push Cheon Sa-yeon and pick up the jackknife that fell on the floor, Kwon Se-hyun's voice was heard.

"Cheon Sa-yeon is right, Han Yi-gyeol."

Kwon Se-hyun picked up the jackknife before me.

"It would have been an unnecessary burden on you."

Kwon Se-hyun, who looked down at it with a complicated expression, soon turned to me.

"If I was the cause, it would be right to cut it off with my own hands."

I had seen that face that looked somewhat relieved just a few hours ago. I remembered Kwon Se-hyun asking me on the rooftop if I still hated him.

"Ah..."

Kwon Se-hyun grabbed the jackknife with both hands and raised his arms. I had an ominous feeling and goosebumps ran down my spine.
