I Don’t Want This Reincarnation
chapter-303-30041322

By the time Kim Woo-jin unbuttoned his shirt and took off his top, I barely came to my senses and hurriedly raised my hand.

“Wait, wait!”

“……?”

I realized later why Kim Woo-jin and Woo Seo-hyuk had such a reaction when they heard that we were going to sleep together.

Where the hell am I supposed to clear up this damn misunderstanding? A headache came over my head, which had been just fine before.

“It’s not like that…”

No matter how frustrating and absurd it was, I had to consider Kim Woo-jin’s unfamiliar situation.

Kim Woo-jin considered himself a complete slave and I was the owner and prince of the kingdom. So like that… even with a strange misunderstanding… he graciously accepted… looking like a real beggar.

“I didn’t mean to sleep with you in that sense. Understand? I was just trying to make you sleep comfortably in a nice bed.”

When I explained it with sincerity, Kim Woo-jin was even more surprised than when he first heard me sleep together.

“I… just sleep on the floor…”

“Are you going to sleep on the floor with your injured body? No way. So, quickly pick up your clothes and come on up.”

“……”

“I won’t touch a single fingertip, so come on up. I’m tired.”

Hearing that I was tired, Kim Woo-jin didn’t insist anymore and went up to the bed hesitantly. I was barely able to lie down next to Kim Woo-jin and closed my sore eyes.

I didn’t know how to treat Kim Woo-jin, who was wary of his surroundings like a stray cat… Let’s go to sleep and then wake up and think. If it didn’t work out, I thought it would be okay to meet Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon again and discuss it.

“Good night, Kim Woo-jin.”

Kim Woo-jin, who was lying stiff like a log, flinched at my greeting, perhaps because he was nervous. Either way, with my mental strength at a limit, I welcomed the rushing sleepiness.

* * *

Like yesterday, Woo Seo-hyuk, who came to the room in the morning, looked at my condition and opened his mouth.

“You seem to be in a much better mood today.”

“I slept well.”

When I answered with a bright smile, Woo Seo-hyuk’s gaze naturally turned to Kim Woo-jin behind me. At the same time, Kim Woo-jin’s ears were lightly dyed.

It was an excellent choice to sleep with Kim Woo-jin without sending him to another room. I met Kim Woo-jin, who I was most worried about, safely and just slept together like before, and made me feel much more relaxed.

So I unintentionally slept while hugging Kim Woo-jin… in my arms. Seeing that Kim Woo-jin wasn’t angry, he wasn’t too offended.

“The letter you ordered yesterday was delivered to the Baron about two hours ago and the reply has just arrived.”

I put down the teacup and opened the letter that Woo Seo-hyuk had handed me. The writing on the pure white paper was very elegant and familiar. It was Cheon Sa-yeon’s handwriting.

「To the Prince whom I respect.

The letter was well received. Unfortunately, the owner of the letter is in a position of being abused, that’s he can’t reply, so I, the oldest, picked up a pen instead. Please understand me with the same heart as rivers and seas.

I am glad that you met Kim Woo-jin. I was a little surprised that he was a slave, but since the Prince picked him up well, I was relieved.

The youngest said he will be contacted again as soon as the wedding’s exact date is set. It’s not funny to say to the Prince this and that. Are you really going to marry a man who has nothing like him? I look much better in many ways.

I agree with you that the longer you spend here, the worse things get. In particular, the damage to civilians is expected to increase.

We will all follow the Prince’s orders. Please think carefully before making your decision.

Then I look forward to the next letter from the Prince with pleasure.

ps. I can get married even tomorrow, so please tell me if you change your mind ^^

Cinderella’s first older brother.」

‘Is he crazy?’

Even as I read the text, I could hear Cheon Sa-yeon’s voice like an auditory hallucination.

Why do you keep insisting on having relationship with me even though you know for sure that the Cinderella fairy tale ended when I married Ha Tae-heon? Even in the letter, I was tired just imagining how much he was making fun of Ha Tae-heon, who lived with him.

I folded the letter and asked Woo Seo-hyuk.

“How about what I asked you yesterday?”

“If the wedding is to be held in ten days, the city festivals and the attendance of nobles from other regions should be excluded.”

“Let’s do that.”

“We have to pass all the weddings except for the necessary procedures.”

“It’s better without hassle.”

“…this is a once-in-a-lifetime wedding. Would that be all right?”

“Of course, it’s fine. How important is a wedding? It’s important to live with the person you love.”

After looking outside the terrace and replying as if reciting a play script, Woo Seo-hyuk eventually gave up.

“I understand. We will proceed that way.”

“Ung. Take care of all the other matters for the wedding.”

This was my honest opinion. This topic was too heavy for me, who had never thought of marriage in my life.

It was all fake anyway. I wished Woo Seo-hyuk would take care of it.

“Kim Woo-jin, would you like some cookies?”

It was much more comfortable and good to eat cookies in the room with Kim Woo-jin than to do complicated things like marriage. He was a slave now, so he refused to sit on a chair and was standing like a sergeant like that, anyway.

Kim Woo-jin, who was hesitant to receive the cookie I gave out, began to eat it. Woo Seo-hyuk, who was watching the two of us quietly, sighed lightly.

Ten days left until the wedding.

No matter how peaceful it was, it was a world created by the Praus Cult, so I couldn’t relax even a little bit. You never knew when a dangerous accident would happen.

However, contrary to what I thought, a week passed in a flash with nothing happening.

‘Isn’t… it too leisurely?’

Having enjoyed a midday tea time in the royal castle that I had become somewhat accustomed, I touched my forehead on the feeling of emptiness.

All I had been doing over the past week had been taking measurements to make a wedding dress and going through some wedding papers. Other than that, I drank tea and toured the inside of the castle as I did now.

No matter how fake the world was, was it okay for a prince of the country to just play and eat like this? I was stabbed a bit to my conscience.

I tried to go out of the castle to look for Fox, but I couldn’t get permission. It was because of the status as a prince and the upcoming wedding schedule.

“Does… your head hurt?”

As I pondered while pressing my forehead, Kim Woo-jin, who was standing next to me, asked carefully.

“No, it’s okay.”

Thanks to being with Kim Woo-jin for 24 hours over the past week, I gradually got used to those honorific words.

No matter how much I asked him to treat me like his friend, Kim Woo-jin’s attitude didn’t change. Every time I mentioned the word ‘friend’, I felt extremely uncomfortable, so I had given up now.

‘Even if I try not to make him work all the time… It seems that he has already become a servant.’

Showing interest in every action I took, helping and following after me around… Kim Woo-jin never left my side, no matter how much I comforted him that he was free to go for a walk alone.

What’s the reason? Feel unfamiliar? It had only been a week since he followed me to the castle and I understood that it was a caste-based world.

“Prince.”

I vowed to get out of here as soon as possible, but another servant approached me and told me.

“The fiance has arrived.”

It meant that Ha Tae-heon had arrived at the castle to prepare for the wedding. We were going to get married in three days anyway, so they had a separate order to call him like that.

“Guide me.”

I immediately got up from my seat and followed the servant with Kim Woo-jin.

From today, Ha Tae-heon would be staying in the castle to prepare for the wedding, and after the wedding was over, he would live in the room next to me.

‘What if the space doesn’t change even after getting married?’

That was the problem as it was. Indeed, the atmosphere itself was better than the previous space created by Doctor, but the unpredictable situation happened one after another, so the tricky part was worse.

Cheon Sa-yeon said that it was highly likely that Abel and Samael built this place. Obviously, everything was different from the Doctor.

As I entered the drawing room that the servant guided, Ha Tae-heon, who was neatly dressed, looked back. It was nice to meet Ha Tae-heon again after a week, so I quickly approached him.

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi, did everything go well?”

Like me, Ha Tae-heon answered me after examining me carefully.

“Yeah. It looks like you were doing well, too.”

“Of course. Among us, I will be the most comfortable. How about the others?”

“Not much has changed since a week ago. And this.”

Ha Tae-heon took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to me.

“It’s Cheon Sa-yeon’s letter. He’s coming to the royal castle with the other three on our wedding day. Details are written inside.”

“I understand.”

With that simple explanation, I could guess what Cheon Sa-yeon was thinking. As soon as the wedding was over, the space might change, so if possible, we should all get together in one place.

Ha Tae-heon looked up from me and saw Kim Woo-jin standing behind me.

“Looks like the other one is doing well.”

“I was very worried before, but I’m glad now.”

Ha Tae-heon, who stared at Kim Woo-jin for a long time with an unknown expression, opened his mouth.

“I just want the two of us to have a conversation.”

“Shall we?”

“I’ll wait in the hallway.”

Kim Woo-jin, who said that he would wait in the hallway before I let him out, bowed his head and left the drawing room.

It would be better if he didn’t do that and went back to your room. If it was Kim Woo-jin in the first place, he wouldn’t have been able to step aside like that. I looked at the closed door with an uncomfortable feeling and clicked my tongue, and suddenly my body was lifted up.

“Wha, what the… Ha Tae-heon-ssi?”

Ha Tae-heon, who grabbed my waist with both hands and lifted me up, sat me on the sofa next to me. Then he leaned over and kissed me all over my face.

“Ugh, wait… wait a minute.”

Chu chu chu, the embarrassing sounds and the tickling feeling that came without a break made my heart beat rapidly and heat rushed to my face.

I couldn’t properly resist the unexpected situation, and when I was poured with kisses, I was dumbfounded that I couldn’t even speak properly.

Even though I instinctively tried to avoid it by backing my waist close to the back of the sofa, Ha Tae-heon persistently followed. The kisses that were pouring down on my cheeks, the corners of my eyes and my forehead finally faded away only when they lightly touched my lips.

“Why all of a sudden…”

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

“What?”

Ha Tae-heon asked me, ignoring my gaze as he glared at me with a terrifying feeling.

“There was a rumor going around. Do you know that?”

“Rumour?”

What rumour? Ha Tae-heon, who was touching my lips with his scar hand when I blinked without getting a clue, answered soon.

“The rumour that the one and only noble prince in the kingdom brings a male slave into his bedroom.”

“……”

“He even slept in the same bedroom all week, not even once or twice.”

“……”
