I don't want this reincarnation [Part 1]

Chapter 8

How did this happen?

The emotion I felt when I first met Ha Tae-heon was surprisingly pleasant.

One way or another, he was the main character of the novel that I enjoyed reading. He was a very strong, righteous, and cool protagonist.

I've been poor all of my life. For me, 'Abyss' was the novel of its genre I encountered. Until then, I couldn't read books very often, and even if I did, they were all too boring and difficult to understand.

'This is fun.'

It was the first time I realized that books and stories could be so much fun. It felt natural to put down the first book and immediately pick up the second book.

I read the story with a heart supporting Ha Tae-heon. When he got hurt, I frowned unconsciously, and when he smiled happily, I felt at ease.

I was jealous of Ha Tae-heon. If I had that kind of power, would I have been able to live a different life?

"Cha Soo-yeon-ssi."

"You—you're really here."

As expected, Ha Tae-heon looked at Cha Soo-yeon as soon as he arrived. No injuries, no fear, no exhaustion. He was relieved only after checking everything.

He came just before attending the meeting, had dark brown, half-curly hair and was dressed in a black suit. His broad shoulders and his scarred hands beneath the sleeves of his shirt showed how much effort he had honed since his awakening.

I knew everything because I read it.

"Hello."

I stepped in at the right time and greeted Ha Tae-heon. His black eyes turned to me.

"As you can see, Cha Soo-yeon-ssi—"

"……"

It was great up until this point.

Ha Tae-heon suddenly used his ability. Dust glistening with black colour quickly gathered, creating a black sword. There was no time to be moved by the fact that I saw the main character using his ability, which I had only experienced in the novel before. A chill ran down my spine. Instinctively, I leaned my head back and used my ability.

Boom!

"This crazy—!"

The place I was just now was horribly broken. I hurriedly shouted at the injustice, "Wait! You're rather impatient. Let's talk!"

"Noisy."

Maybe because he was the main character, the way he talked was cool.

My heart kept beating even though it wasn't the time for this. You'd have to be like that to be the main character. That was really cool. I narrowly avoided the sword that was rushing at me once again.

"Ugh, believe it or not, I didn't even touch Cha Soo-yeon-ssi's hair!"

"You have a lot of nerve as a kidnapper."

Shamelessness was my charm.

I took a step back and distanced myself from Ha Tae-heon. I thought if he attacked again, I could dodge it at least once.

"There is a reason why I used Cha Soo-yeon-ssi to call you."

"I'm not interested."

"Aah." I let out a sigh as I swept my hair back. Of course, I didn't expect you to be willing to listen to me…

'Somehow, Ha Tae-heon is more aggressive than planned. What's wrong with him? Did he meet Cheon Sa-yeon before?'

I said with a bitter smile, "As you may have noticed… I was ordered, too. For me, bringing Cha Soo-yeon-ssi as safely as possible was the limit."
