I’m not a Regressor

ly in his mid-thirties.
Does that mean he climbed up to the position of Association General Manager at that age?’

‘I guess Han Joonman really does have exceptional skills.’

Though, obviously, the decisive reason was that he had recruited the Star of the Weaver Girl’s apostle into the Association.

“I do hear that I look young from others here and there! Hahaha!”

The muscles of General Manager Han swelled up as he had a hearty laugh.

Pop!—

A button on his shirt popped out from his expanding chest muscles and rolled on the ground.

‘Hm.
I understand the feelings of the ones who said he looks young.’

“Let’s get on.”

“Yep.”

After exiting the staff-exclusive elevator, Ohjin got into General Manager Han’s car.

It was a jeep fitting of his massive build.

Vroooom!—

With smooth movements that were completely different from its owner, the car took off.

Around 40 minutes later, they arrived at his house.

“Then I’ll contact you at a later date.”

“Yes.
You should get plenty of rest as well.”

After parting from General Manager Han, Ohjin returned to his home.

Creak—

The familiar scent of mold stimulated his nose.

“I’m home~!”

He entered while greeting Ha-eun, who he expected would be waiting inside, however…

“Huh?”

There was nothing inside his house.

It didn’t mean Ha-eun was away.

Just like the phrase, whether it was furniture or groceries, nothing was left behind.

“Wh-What?”

Ohjin looked around with a dumbfounded expression.

‘Did a thief come by?’

No way.

What would there be to steal inside that run-down house?

“If it isn’t a thief…”

Ohjin called Ha-eun with a stiff face.

An ominous feeling ran down his spine.

Beep, beep—

“Damn it!”

The call didn’t connect.

Ohjin bit his lips with a nervous expression.

And then—

“…Hm?”

—he could see that there was a small piece of paper in the middle of the empty room.

‘What’s this?’

Ohjin picked up the paper.

[Come to Hapjeong Station Exit 9 as soon as you read this.]

 

It was Ha-eun’s handwriting.

“Phew.”

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like something had happened to her well-being.

“What’s this, all of a sudden?”

Ohjin furrowed his brow as he sent Ha-eun a message.

It was definitely marked as read, but a reply didn’t come.

“Argh.”

He had no option but to go there himself.

“What kind of dog training is this?”

He had gone through an hour-long ride from Yeouido to back home, but now he was forced to go back to Seoul.

Letting out a deep sigh, he went outside.

There was no difficulty in going there as he luckily had the car that the Association had given him.

After going through another hour-long ride, he arrived at Hapjeong Station.

“You’re here.”

He could see Ha-eun, who was waiting in front of Exit 9.

“Why didn’t you answer the call?”

“Huhu.
I just wanted to tease you.
Why?”

Ha-eun raised her nose with a shameless expression.

Ohjin forced a chuckle as he looked at her.

“Let’s stop the small talk; follow me.”

Ha-eun pulled on his arm.

“…?”

* * *

Ohjin didn’t know what was going on, but…

‘I guess I’ll know once I follow her.’

He walked following Ha-eun.

Where she headed was a mixed-use apartment building located near Hapjeong Station.

It seemed to be quite an expensive apartment, as there were luxurious restaurants located nearby.

“…No way.”

At this point, Ohjin also had a rough estimate of what Ha-eun was plotting.

An empty house without any furniture…

Dragging him to a luxurious apartment with some kind of pompous look…

“When you said you had something to do before—”

“Shush.
Stay quiet.”

“…”

Ha-eun, who stood in front of the apartment entrance, held out her keycard.

Beep—

With an electrical sound, the door opened.

They rode up the elevator to the 7th floor.

“It isn’t that high up, but…”

Ha-eun smiled as she opened the front door.

“Wow.”

A short exclamation flowed out of Ohjin’s mouth.

The house was around 90 square meters.

It wasn’t that spacious, considering that it was an expensive apartment, but when compared to their original house that wasn’t even 26 square meters, the place was no different from an empty palace.

Above all, there was no mold.
There were no cracks on the walls and no unidentifiable mushrooms growing out either.

“Wh-What’s this?”

He looked at her with a shocked expression.

“Kyahaha! Are you surprised?”

Ha-eun poked him in the side.

“Well… there’s this that you bought me, and being the only one receiving feels a bit unsettling.”

She laughed bashfully as she stroked the eye patch on her right eye.

“…Where did you get the money?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I haven’t been playing around for the past three months.”

She shrugged her shoulders as she continued.

“And I received a hefty amount of cash from the recent subjugation… I received a bit of a loan and bought it.
Those bank bastards, they wouldn’t even look at me five years ago, but they seemed to be willing to lend out their entire vault this time.”

Even though she put it in that way, it seemed like she overdid it.

“Well, money can be earned from now on.”

Ha-eun smiled brightly and hit Ohjin on the back.

“Anyways.”

Smirk— 

With a bright smile stuck on her mouth— 

“This is now our home!”

—she spread her arms wide as she stood in the middle of the wide living room.

“…Ha-eun.”

Tremble—

His voice shook.

A cluster of emotions that were hard to express with words soared up from someplace deep within his heart.

Of course, he did think that they would move to a new house someday ever since he had become a North Star’s apostle, but he hadn’t imagined that he would obtain a new house in this way.

“Kyahaha! Do you see this amazing view? Since the Association and the sanctum are nearby, it’s also much more comfortable to go around! And there are—”

“Ha-eun! Ha-eun! Ha-ueeeeeeen!!!”

“Kyaaaaa!”

Snatch!—

He embraced her.

“Wh-What? What is it?”

He couldn’t express the emotions that drew him crazy.

Burning passion…

Endorphins that stimulated the peripheral nerves poured out.

—He couldn’t hold it in any further.

He left his body to the current of emotions that seemed to want to explode.

“O-Ohjin, wait, calm down—”

Pulling in her hips—

“Uuub?!”

—their lips overlapped.
