Chapter 58

I Am Not a Reincarnator Chapter 58

My Home (2)

"Y-You damn brat!"

Thud.

Haeun's slender legs struck his back.

"A-As if I'd let you do that! What? You, you dare to do that to your sister?!"

Crunch.

This time, she pressed down on his back with the sole of her foot.

"…I'm sorry, okay?"

Two hours after the momentary impulse that led to their lips touching, Oh Jin was sitting on the living room floor, repeating "I'm sorry" like a parrot.

Haeun, sitting on the sofa, kicked his back with her foot.

"Is being sorry enough?! Your sister's… lips… hehe. Lips, huh? Hehehe!"

Sister.

Either get mad or like it, but pick one.

"…So. Did you like it?"

Tickle tickle.

Haeun poked his side with her toes.

"Of course I did. We got such a nice house."

Was this how Haeun felt when she received the Dragon Eye as a gift? Living in a cramped, smelly house and then moving to such a luxurious apartment made her so happy she couldn't believe it.

That's why she couldn't contain her excitement and kissed him.

'There's a reason why the house prices never drop.'

Not only was the interior of the house great, but the view from the window and the surrounding facilities were incomparable to where they used to live.

Their old neighborhood looked as if it had been hit by a monster, it was so desolate.

"No, I'm not talking about the house."

"Huh?"

If not the house, what?

"…T-That. C-Cough! K-Kiss… D-Did it feel good?"

Her face turned red, and she twirled her hair with her fingertips.

The corners of Oh Jin's mouth twitched.

"It's not the first time, so why are you suddenly asking?"

"Huh? When did we do it before?"

"When we were kids, we did it a lot, remember? The games we played at the orphanage."

"No."

Haeun's expression twisted.

"That's not something you should do, you brat!"

Haeun leaned forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him close.

The feeling of suffocation and the heavy pressure on his back made him realize:

'Wow.'

Was our sister always this big?

No, I knew she had some volume, but...

Feeling it directly with my body, I was momentarily dazed by her overwhelming presence.

"Don't pretend you don't know and just say it."

"..."

"Pfft. Is your sister getting mad?"

"Well… of course it was good. Why are you asking?"

He recalled the soft touch on his lips.

It wasn't like the lightning strike sensation often depicted in manga, but he couldn't deny that it felt good.

"R-Really?"

Haeun's lips curled up.

She wriggled her body like a relative desperately trying to hide a lottery win.

"Hehehehe!!"

From behind, she pulled on Oh Jin's cheek.

"Right. Are you saying you felt so good that you want to go outside and do cartwheels in your underwear right now?"

No.

It wasn't that good.

"Hehehe! Haeun~ You must really like me to kiss me as soon as we got into the house."

"Anyone hearing this would think we're newlyweds."

"Kyahaha! Why are you suddenly talking about marriage just because we kissed?"

"…?"

What are you talking about, woman?

"This sister isn't someone you can get so easily~"

"Uh, yeah."

What is this?

Seeing her smug face, I'm getting really angry.

"By the way, I have a somewhat strange memory. That Choi Jongcheol or something, he saw your face and immediately offered 60 billion… no, 100 billion! This means I'm that attractive, right?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying you should take responsibility for stealing my kiss."

Haeun smirked, raising her nose.

"…"

Without a word, he grabbed her foot, which was resting on his thigh, and tickled it.

"Kyaa!! What, what are you doing, you brat!!"

She tried to pull her foot away, but it was impossible.

Since he was stronger in terms of sheer strength.

"Pfff!! Kyahaha!! Stop!! S-Stop it!"

"Oh, you're being so high and mighty, but why are you acting so out of character?"

"Let go!! Let go, you brat!!"

He tickled her foot for about five more minutes.

Why provoke me like that?

"Huff! Huff! Damn…."

Haeun panted, biting her lip.

Judging by the cold sweat streaming down her face, it must have been quite a stimulation.

Our sister is ticklish.

"Let's take a look around the house."

We've been in the house for over two hours, but we've only seen the living room.

"Hmm. Okay."

Haeun stood up, fixing her disheveled hair.

"This is the bathroom, and there are two rooms. This one is the bigger room."

Click.

The door opened, revealing a spacious interior.

'Wow. This room is as big as our old house.'

The furniture from their old house was already inside.

"We'll need to buy more furniture soon."

"Right? The old ones are a bit worn out."

"That's true, but…"

Oh Jin shrugged and pointed to the other room.

Since this is the bigger room, that must be the smaller one.

"We'll need to buy furniture for that room too."

Well.

Since Haeun bought the house, I should use the smaller room, right?

It doesn't matter.

Even the smaller room will be more spacious than the cramped house we used to live in.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"What do you mean?"

"That room is a storage room?"

"…?"

What are you talking about, sister?

"Our room is this one."

Haeun pointed to the larger room she had just opened.

"…There are two rooms, and you want us to share the bigger one?"

"Huh."

"No."

Is this like going to a buffet and only drinking water?

"There's not much stuff, so why is it a storage room? I'll just use the smaller room."

"No."

"Why?"

"It's the owner's decision."

Damn.

I have nothing to say.

"Hmph. If you're not happy, go live somewhere else."

Haeun smirked, provoking him.

I don't want to fall for such an immature provocation.

"Mold, rust… It's scorching in the summer and freezing in the winter."

"Ugh."

Even as a joke, I can't say I want to go back to our old house.

"And most importantly."

Haeun smiled, confident of her victory.

"This house has… 'hot water.'"

"R-Really!"

What the hell.

Hot water!

Hot water!!

Being able to wash my body with hot water at home!

It was a thrilling luxury I had never experienced before.

"What do you think? Will you listen to the owner, or will you leave?"

"…Huff!"

Even though it feels like my heart is being mocked, I can't resist the temptation of hot water.

Is there no other way?

'…Wait.'

Oh Jin's eyes gleamed sharply.

"Sister, you said you used the reward money from this operation to buy this house, right?"

"Uh? Yeah, that's right."

"Wasn't my reward money included in that?"

I was unconscious for three days and focused on the new skills I gained, so I didn't pay attention to the reward money.

"…Uh. W-Well."

She averted her gaze.

"I caught the most monsters, right?"

Honestly, the monsters I killed alone easily exceed a hundred.

I even killed Choi Jongcheol, the mastermind, so I should have received a substantial reward.

But.

I don't remember receiving any money.

"It's because I took out a loan, and the money was just a little short. Hehehe!"

Haeun scratched the back of her head.

Oh.

So you used my reward money to buy this house without telling me?

It's not a big deal, but…

"Doesn't that mean this smaller room should be mine?"

"Ugh!"

Haeun flinched.

"Aah! My, my leg!! Ugh!!"

She suddenly grabbed her right prosthetic leg and complained of pain.

It was a very awkward performance.

'What is this sister up to?'

As I watched her silently,

"…Oh Jin, you're saying that in front of a sister who has an inconvenient leg?"

Is this woman using a cheat code?

"Sister… You need someone to take care of you, don't you?"

"…"

Oh Jin pressed his forehead, looking defeated.

Damn.

What do you want me to do?

"Ha… Fine, fine. Let's share the room."

"Yay! Renewing the slave contract is great~!"

Haeun clenched her fist and cheered.

Oh Jin looked at her with a bitter smile.

Since we've been sharing a room all along, it's not particularly inconvenient.

But there is one regret.

"Ugh. I thought I could finally sleep in a bed."

I have to sleep on the floor again, which is quite disappointing.

"Kyahaha! Don't worry about that. I've already thought of everything!"

Haeun burst into a bright laugh and headed for the bed.

"Huh?"

Now that I think about it, all the furniture is the same except for the bed.

"Ta-da!"

Rattle.

She opened the bottom of the bed, and another bed slid out to the side.

"Oh!"

A short exclamation escaped Oh Jin's lips.

I didn't expect this.

It's a simple solution, but I didn't think of it because our old house was so cramped.

"Hehe. How's this?"

"Perfect."

Oh Jin gave a thumbs up.

This way, sharing the room won't be a problem.

By the way,

"The house is great, but I'm a bit disappointed that we can't use the roof."

In our old house, no one used the roof, so I could go up and train whenever I had time, but it seems difficult here.

"Oh, I heard there's an awakened person's training ground near this apartment."

"Is there?"

"Yeah. The usage fee is a bit expensive, but it provides a space for training without worrying about others' gazes."

"Oh."

Not bad.

"And Hongdae is close, right? If you need intense training, you can go to the sanctuary."

"That's a good option."

At the sanctuary, I could also get training help from Reik.

"Hehe. I chose this house after thinking about everything!"

As she said,

The gate to the association in Yeouido and the gate to the sanctuary in Hongdae are not far from the apartment.

"Puhuhu! Of course, only our sister could do this."

I can't deny it.

"Hehe. Then I'll bring some delicious beef for dinner tonight."

"Yes, ma'am."

Since she bought this house, a little beef is nothing.

"Shall we go to the supermarket together?"

"There's a supermarket in the basement here."

"Oh."

Perfect.

-Click.

Just as they were about to head to the supermarket,

-Ring!

The phone rang.

"Hmm?"

Oh Jin tilted his head and took out his smartphone.

'Park Changhyun?'

He thought it was a call from the deputy, but it was from Park Changhyun.

"Hello."

[…Oh Jin. Can you come to the Balhalla Guild right now?]

"What's going on?"

Oh Jin frowned and asked.

[The guild leader was attacked by the Black Star Society.]

"…"

I'll have to eat the beef later.
