I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

EPISODE 39. Trust

It had been three days since I came here. The time I spent in Elohims house was very peaceful that it was overshadowed by what I was worried about.

However, Ha Tae-heon didnt let go of his heart and didnt relax the vigilance around him. At night, he came to my room and fell asleep with me in his arms. That seemed reassuring.

Sleeping in the same bed with him was a bit accustomed to me now, but I couldnt help feeling uncomfortable in every corner of my heart. Ha Tae-heon might be feeling it already. That I would stay here. He said he would trust me, but his instinctive sense would be another matter.

I sighed in frustration and closed the book I was reading. While Ha Tae-heon went down to the basement to exercise, I was just stopping by the study on the second floor. Although it was very large and spacious for a study, it was close to a library as it was full of huge bookshelves.

The book I just closed was about a variety of plants growing all over the world. What do you call this again. Plant book?

I brought out my thoughts about Ha Tae-heon to take a break, but it wasnt very helpful because it wasnt fun. (하태헌에 관한 생각을 잠시라도 쉬려고 꺼내 든 건데 어마어마하게 재미없어서 큰 도움은 되지 못했다)

‘Should I… just follow Ha Tae-heon and return to Korea?

Although it was difficult to meet the Prophet, the reality didnt change. After the seventh day, which Elohim had said, I wasnt sure if I could get useful information.

It was certainly surprising that he knew what was going on inAbyss, but that alone couldnt make me believe that he knew everything else.

“Didnt you say that you would be by my side no matter what?”

What Ha Tae-heon said to me passed through my ears. If I knew this would happen, I would have been a little more cautious. I said over and over again that I wouldnt leave, but I didnt expect things to go wrong like this.

This situation of having to weigh Elohims proposal and Ha Tae-heons trust was just difficult.

Eventually, I got up from my seat with a book. I should stop thinking about it and look for something else to read.

I put the book I had taken out and looked at the other bookshelves. I had so little experience in reading books in my life that I had no idea what kind of fun it would be.

‘Is there anything like Abyss?

What was the genre. Fantasy novels? There were so many books, there might be one or two books.

It was then when I was looking through the names of books as I crossed the centre of the endlessly wide study. Among the old papers and books piled on the floor, I found the only book with no title written on it.

At a glance, it was an unusual book. I removed the old papers all around it with my hands and picked up the book. The sunlight coming through the window clouded the dust.

“What is it?”

No matter how many times I looked, the title was nowhere to be seen. The hardcover was all dark red as if it had been stained with blood.

Even though I had no idea what the book was, I had a strange urge to open it. After thinking for a while, I opened the cover to take a quick look.

「57」

It was the number written in the centre of the first page. 57? I dont think it was the 57th volume of a full-length novel. If this book wasnt fun, there wouldnt be anything to waste time other than going down to the basement and exercising with Ha Tae-heon.

With a frown on my forehead, I flipped the page and opened it around the middle. The black letters written on the pure white paper caught my eye.
