“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.
