Reincarnation Workshop

16.

Silence fell again.

And then, the voice actor spoke up.

옹성우

Do as you wish

As Seongwu turned around, Seokjin followed him.

김석진

Keep my backschedule clear until I contact you.

"N...yes"

The voice actor laid Yeonseo down in the back of the car and turned his body towards the driver's seat.

At that moment, Seokjin grabbed Seongwoo's arm again and stopped him.

옹성우

What else?

김석진

By any chance, can I drive?

옹성우

What?

김석진

I'm going to my house

옹성우

We have everything we need at home.

김석진

But I'm not a doctor, so I guess not.

The voice actor paused for a moment.

김석진

Still, will that be okay?

옹성우

Yes, that's right

Although Seongwu didn't feel like it, he decided to go to Seokjin's house for Yeonseo.

On the way to Seokjin's house, the two of them walked silently without saying anything.

To break the mood, Seokjin spoke up.

김석진

excuse me..

옹성우

yes

김석진

By any chance, what is your name?

옹성우

I'm crying

김석진

Ah..do you happen to know why Yeonseo did that..?

옹성우

That's...ask yourself.

옹성우

This isn't something I can do as I please.

김석진

All right

Seokjin briefly checked Yeonseo through the rearview mirror.

Yeonseo was still sweating and groaning as if she was having a nightmare.

옹성우

Can't you go a little faster..?

The voice actor said urgingly.

김석진

We're almost there, don't worry

The car stopped in front of a mansion.

김석진

Get off

The mansion was as grand as its exterior.

김석진

Let's go up to the second floor

Seongwu followed Seokjin and carried Yeonseo up to the second floor.

김석진

Who are you here?

While the voice actor put Yeonseo on the bed and covered her with a blanket,

Seokjin came from the side holding an IV containing a Ringer's solution and a sedative.

옹성우

Thank you, sir

김석진

no

김석진

It's my job, what?

옹성우

But, how do you know Yeonseo?

김석진

I have also received help from a psychic.

The voice actor nodded silently.

So that's why this guy was so proactive.

At that moment, Yeonseo's hand moved.

주연서

eww.....

옹성우

Are you awake..?

주연서

Here...

Yeonseo said, getting up with difficulty.

김석진

This is my house

옹성우

Just lie down...!

주연서

are you okay...

As the voice actor spoke with concern, Yeonseo wiped the sweat from her head as if everything was okay.

김석진

You said you had to go out earlier, what happened?

Yeonseo looked at Seokjin in surprise and said nothing.

김석진

Even if you have bad memories of the hospital...

Yeonseo was wondering whether she should speak or not.

Because this story was something only the voice actor and I knew.

When Yeonseo turned her head to look at Seongwu, Seongwu sent a telepathic message to Yeonseo.

옹성우

(Do whatever you want, I will respect your choice.)

옹성우

(But I don't want to see you regret it.)

Yeonseo nodded to Seongwu's telepathy.

주연서

It's a bad memory, I don't want to think about it again.

As Yeonseo spoke, Seongwoo stood up.

옹성우

Call me when you're done talking, I don't want to hear that story again.

With those words, the voice actor left the room.

김석진

Speaking of bad memories...

주연서

I lost my parents in a car accident when I was young.

주연서

While we were all riding in a car, we got into a car accident.

Seokjin focused on Yeonseo's words with a compassionate expression.

Yeonseo couldn't meet Seokjin's eyes and continued speaking with her head down.

주연서

So the whole family was taken to the hospital.

주연서

That's what made me like this

"Teacher!! Is this an emergency patient?!!!"

I was sitting in the back seat so I wasn't hurt too badly.

"Kid, are you okay?"

주연서

yes...

주연서

But...doctor...

"huh?"

주연서

Who are those men?

"What kind of uncles?"

주연서

Those guys in black over there...

주연서

Why are you next to my mom and dad?

"What is that..."

I didn't know then.

Surely, I never thought they would be grim reapers.

So, my parents passed away.

"Kid, are you very sad..?"

주연서

......teacher

"huh?"

주연서

Those guys, I'm talking about

주연서

Why are you with that old lady too?

"what?"

The doctor said with a distorted expression.

You must have been anxious inside, because I said that and then your parents passed away.

And indeed, a few days later, the old lady passed away.

People said I was the cause of death.

I was just saying what I saw.

That's when I first found out.

I'm a monster...

People used to call me that.

"monster"

Before I went to the orphanage, the hospital took care of me.

After that happened, no one wanted to come near me.

And when someone died, no matter what the cause, everyone blamed me.

If I'm there, even those who live will die.

주연서

That's why they are so scary

주연서

It's not my fault, but if I'm there, someone else might die.

주연서

Maybe that someone will be me

주연서

I used to have a lot of nightmares and I was often pressed by scissors.

주연서

That's why I hate hospitals.

주연서

For some reason, I feel like I shouldn't be there.

Seokjin didn't know what to say to Yeonseo.

I never thought something like this would happen to this person.

김석진

It's not Yeonseo's fault...

주연서

Everyone would say that.

주연서

But I don't think so

김석진

Why...?

주연서

because...

주연서

It was right next to me too

주연서

The Grim Reaper...

everyone!

Did you all have a good Lunar New Year holiday??

The author's face became like a full moon...hahaha
