I compiled and filled in only the necessary information as much as possible, but it will take at least four days to see it all.

Elohim handed me the book. The book in my arms was much bigger and heavier than it looked.

When I thought that Cheon Sa-yeons past was contained in this, my mouth was completely dry.

Se-hyun-ah. As you know because you have already done it, its very difficult to read a book. So it would be better to take a little break and then start.

I understand.

Dont leave my side while you see all of this. So tell me when youre ready. Until then, the book must never be opened.

Elohim, who had left me a warning, smiled bitterly as if he had read my complicated thoughts and pressed his hand on the strained brows.

Then Ill take a look around the house in the meantime. Is that okay, kid?

do whatever you want.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who answered one beat slower, said while looking at the others.

Take a rest until morning. Ill guide you to the guest room if youre tired.

Because of the time difference, it was early in the morning in Korea, so it would take five or six hours before dawn would come.

Then, Master, can I take a look at the kitchen?

I looked at it earlier and it was empty. Theres only water in the refrigerator.

Gasp, Im glad that we got a snack box from Deputy Master Chloe.

Then lets order food.

Are you here to play, Team Leader Park Geon-ho?

Hearing the chatter, I lowered my gaze and looked at the book. I carefully touched the cover and the rough leather touched my fingertips.

Seeing me like that, Elohim lowered his voice and whispered.

Youre just thinking about pushing yourself again.

Is that so?

I had already heard and knew that Cheon Sa-yeon had handed over his past in return. Even so, a corner of my heart was still uncomfortable.

Theres no need to think about Cheon Sa-yeon and force yourself to watch it. Nothing in this world goes unpaid.

What does it mean?

It means youll pay the price for seeing this one way or another. The price the world sets is always equal. So, first of all, you have to walk from the road in front of you.

Elohims white finger pointed to the book.

Was it that meant that the way I should go from now on was to see Cheon Sa-yeons past? As I stood there, unable to answer the incomprehensible words, Elohim handed Fox on his shoulder to me.

Piik, pik!

I felt a little relieved at the sight of Fox, who cried brightly and rubbed his bountiful tail on my cheek.

Everything I say is difficult right now. But youll find out soon. What the future coming to you means to that child, Cheon Sa-yeon.

Im

Even with my mouth open, it was difficult to finish my words. Elohim smiled as if it was okay when I hesitated.

I think it would be better to talk separately before you read the book later. I have something left to tell him.

Yes.

The book in both hands was still heavy. Feeling the weight, I lowered my head.

* * *

After taking a shower in the private bathroom attached to the room that Cheon Sa-yeon showed me, I changed into comfortable clothes and drank the water I had prepared beforehand.

Crazy, the house is really big

Thanks to it, I could wash comfortably. Drying my still wet hair with a towel, I looked up at the night sky outside the window.

Cheon Sa-yeon said that he and Elohim had something to talk about, so the two of them must be very busy. Were other people gathering in the living room? It seemed that Fox also went to Min Ah-rin. It was on the second floor, so I couldnt hear the noise from downstairs.

I was curious about what they were doing, so I was thinking about going down and I saw Cheon Sa-yeons book on the table.

What does the future coming to you means to that child, Cheon Sa-yeon.

My future is meaningful to Cheon Sa-yeon?

As I pondered what Elohim said, which I still didnt understand, I heard a knock on the door.

Yes.

The person who heard the answer opened the door and entered the room. Contrary to my expectations that it would be Min Ah-rin or Kim Woo-jin, the visitor was Ha Tae-heon.

Are you tired?

No. I just washed up. What about Ha Tae-heon-ssi?

I washed up, too.

I looked closely at Ha Tae-heons condition as he walked toward me.

Ha Tae-heon, who suddenly met Elohim, who he had no good memories with, even went to Cheon Sa-yeons house, which he didnt want, looked unhappy the whole time. It looked a little better now.

Are you going to go to the guild right away when the sun comes up?

Yeah. Ive already contacted Master. I dont want to leave you here, but

Ha Tae-heon, who looked at me with complicated eyes, took a deep breath and continued.

There must be a lot of work behind it, so theres nothing I can do. Cheon Sa-yeon will have to go back to the guild.

Everyone will probably go out to sort things out. There is El, so dont worry too much here.

Thats why I care.

why? Elohim was the strongest among us, so shouldnt he believe him that much?

Ill be back as soon as things are done, so dont make any trouble in the meantime and stay calm.

Thats what Ha Tae-heon always said when he left me and went somewhere.

Now you know that Im Kwon Se-hyun, not Han Yi-gyeol

Ha Tae-heons appearance without much change in his attitude was both strange and awkward.

Um, I have work to do, so I cant be sure. Im not going anywhere.

Is that what youre supposed to work on?

Ha Tae-heon pointed to the book on the table with his chin.

He must have guessed because he heard the conversation I had with Elohim.

Youre right. That book

Could I say this?

After all, it was something I was going to explain to everyone after reading the book, but it wasnt easy to get the word out.

After hesitating for a while, I answered honestly.

This is a book about Cheon Sa-yeons past. Im trying to watch it, but its a bit long, so its going to take a few days. (, watch, see, read)

Cheon Sa-yeons past?

Yes. This is the most important thing in the current situation. Ha Tae-heon-ssi must have noticed it to some extent, Praus and Cheon Sa-yeon are intertwined in many ways.

I thought the story would be long, so I carefully pulled Ha Tae-heons shirt sleeve and dragged him to sit on the bed. I sat down next to him and continued explaining.

From the moment I open this book, created with Elohims ability, I can see Cheon Sa-yeon with my own eyes.

Is it played like a video?

Its similar.

Isnt it dangerous?

Of course. Ive already done it once. Han Yi-gyeols past I saw the owner of this bodys past through the book.

While we were talking, I was worried that Ha Tae-heon would ask about Han Yi-gyeol, but fortunately, he asked another question as if he wasnt particularly interested about it.

You dont know exactly how long it will take?

El said it would take at least four days, so it will most likely take longer than that.

Tsk

Hearing my answer, Ha Tae-heon frowned in dissatisfaction.

It means you have to spend more than four days to see Cheon Sa-yeons past. Thats also at Cheon Sa-yeons house.

Tha, thats right

Ha Tae-heons mood was lowered in an instant and I immediately noticed.

Whats the problem? Was it because he thought the book was dangerous?

To be honest, seeing other peoples past through books didnt feel right unless youd experienced it yourself.

Seeing me contemplating whether I should explain more so that Ha Tae-heon wouldnt worry, Ha Tae-heon sighed once more and opened his mouth first.

Han Yi-gyeol, Im jealous right now.

Pardon? Oh what?

When I asked a stupid question, wondering if I had heard it wrong, Ha Tae-heon answered again with clear pronunciation.

I. am. jealous.

Why are you suddenly jealous

If the person you love spends a few days with another man, arent you, of course, jealous?

N, no, wait a minute. Ha Tae-heon-ssi, that

Jealous, bewildered by an unimaginable reason, I pointed out the most important part first.

What I said earlier in America did you hear that?

What are you talking about?

Im not Han Yi-gyeol, but Kwon Se-hyun. The man we met in space is the real me. Yet, you still

Ha Tae-heon, who had been quietly listening to my stuttering words without haste, tilted his head.

Is it that important?

Isnt it important?

No matter what you look like, I will eventually fall in love with you.

So Im still jealous.

At the confession that was spat out in a calm and without pitched manner, heat rushed up from my neck to my face.

In this situation, I had no idea what to say or what to do.

So, sorry

In the end, the only thing I could do was make such a lame apology.

What if Ha Tae-heon asked, What are you sorry for?, no matter how hard I thought, I could only think to answer like, Its just, so I broke out in a cold sweat.

Ha Tae-heon, who was staring at me with a strange expression as I was lost because I didnt know what to do, came closer quietly.

Instead of saying youre sorry, I wish you could make my feelings better a little bit.

I understand. How do I get rid of it?

Right. Id rather do something like this. I would try my best.

Ha Tae-heon, who raised the corner of his mouth at my ambitious attitude, lowered his gaze and said.

Kiss.

What?

I think it will go away if you kiss me.

Ki

Unable to spit out the word kiss, I hesitated, then realized that I was too close to Ha Tae-heon. I hurriedly moved my upper body back and smiled awkwardly.

Its a little

You dont like it?

Its not that I dont like it, but were not in that relationship, so its hard to do something like that

Weve already done it over and over again, whats the difference now?

Thats true, but

Even children do kisses.

is that so?

Do I have to do it?

No. Just stay still. I will take care of it.

Umm, if it wasnt something I would do, maybe one time would be fine. Anyway I had owed Ha Tae-heon a lot of things, from drug cases to work in America.

I think it will be over in less than a second.

It wasnt anyone else and Ha Tae-heon wanted it, so I had to listen. In this situation right now, it was hard to say no.

All right. Then I I will be quiet.

Yeah. It doesnt matter if you close your eyes.

Good. To be honest, I didnt have the confidence to keep my eyes open and watch Ha Tae-heon kissing me.

I quickly closed my eyes and waited for the kiss to end.

However, contrary to my expectation that he would kiss me on the cheek, Ha Tae-heons warm hand slowly swept the back of my neck.
