" Team leader. I heard there is a new library opened next to the cafe we frequently go to. Why don't you go check it out? Since you like reading."

Kim Min Ah said to me while looking through the report given to us by the chairman.

The report was sent to us a few weeks ago it was about a new monster that was seen in the forest of Jeju island.

But such a report needs to be investigated to confirm the type of monster it was or whether the report is true.

And it is a very hard thing to do since there is no other valid proof about the said monster.

After a few weeks of not getting any trace of the monster and confirming the fact by investigating Jeju island ourselves. We finally conclude the report as a false report.

Now we're writing the report of our finding before submitting it to the chairman.

" Hmm. Tomorrow is my day off so I guess I can go check it out later."

" Yes. I think that's better than just wasting your time staring into nothing sir."

" It's not a waste of time rather it was like meditation for your mind."

" Yeah. Right."

I frown at her response.

Soon after we finish our report and submit it to the chairman. We pick up our stuff and bid each other goodbye before going home.

When Kim Rok Soo open his eyes the next moment rather than waking up in his apartment he woke up in a forest next to a grave and a person was lying injured next to him.

Confused Kim Rok Soo turned his head around and tried his best to understand his situation.

"Ugh.."

The injured man groans clearly in pain. Kim Rok Soo turned his head toward the man and inspect the wound on his side.

Rather than trying to understand his current situation which is a hard thing to do Kim Rok Soo decided that he first need to treat the man's wound.

' This guy might know what exactly happened as he was next to me, so it might be better for me to treat him first then ask him about it later. '

And with that thought, Kim Rok Soo immediately picks up the man and brings him near a river.

He first inspects the man's injury and then proceeded to clean the man's wound first by cutting a part of his cloth into a few pieces and using the smallest one to use to clean the wound.

He then dips the piece of clothing into the water and cleans the surrounding areas of the man's wound. It was quite a deep cut on the man's side.

After he was done cleaning the blood around the cut, Kim Rok Soo immediately wrap the wound up using the few reminding pieces of clothing he have.

The man's expression seems a little bit better than before though he is still pale and looks quite in a pain.

Kim Rok Soo pounder a few seconds about what he should do next before deciding to pick the man up and start looking for a proper place to rest.

He have to search for at least a good place to lay the injured man down since it would be quite uncomfortable to lay down on the uneven ground.

He slowly lifts the man and starts walking toward a tree shade. After he lay the man down he starts to think back about his situation.

There are a few things he found quite unsettling, first, when he was cleaning the man's wound next to the river, he noticed that the reflection of his face was quite young.

Kim Rok Soo is 36 years old man but the face on the water was when around the age of 26 to 28 years old.

But his body on the other hand was the same when he was the team leader. The only difference was that there was not even a single scar on his body.

The second thing he noticed was the scenery of the forest that took so peaceful almost magical. It looks like a straight-out fantasy novel.

Since the world turned to hell there was hardly any forest that was as peaceful as this one because monsters usually would roam around the forest making it the most dangerous place.

This thought lead him to a few conclusions. One, the team member was playing a prank on him and dumped him here because he work too hard over the past few weeks.

Two, he dreaming since before falling asleep he was thinking about his slacker life about living peacefully while surrounded by forest and nature.

And Third, he was transmigrated to another world which is the most ridiculous thought.

But amongst the three conclusions, he came up with the third one is the only one that makes sense given has he woke up here without any trace of being moved after falling asleep in his apartment, and all of his surroundings felt too real to be a dream.

It is also because the other two don't make sense, since who in their right mind would play a prank with injured people involved, and he is not insane to dream about his slacker life with an injured man lying next to him.

'hmn.. that's the only thing that makes sense.'

Kim Rok Soo turned his head toward the man and observe him.

' Yeah. The third is it. There's no way this guy's hair is dyed. '

Kim Rok Soo concluded as soon as he saw the man's hair. Deep red. That's the color of his hair and it looks too real to be dyed hair since his eyebrows and eyelashes both have the same color as his hair.

Kim Rok Soo continues to observe the man from head to toe. Pale skin, long eyelashes, expensive and luxurious clothes.

' This guy he's rich.'

While Kim Rok Soo was busy thinking about what he should ask from this man after saving him as a reward. The man's eyes slowly flutter to open.

"Ugh.."

Kim Rok Soo snap out of his thoughts and turned to look at the man. Reddish-brown eyes met each other. One with confusion while the other with indifference.

" Y-you.. who?"

Just like any other day Cale Henituse was drinking and causing a commotion, it is because he got angry that the alcohol didn't taste good and threw a tantrum.

He was flinging things around and got stabbed on his side by a broken desk leg. Which resulting a deep wound on his side.

All the servants were alarmed when they saw their young master bleeding, though Cale Henituse might be the trash of the family, he is still the son of the lord they are all serving.

His life was far more important than their lowly life as he is of noble blood. Aware of that fact all the servants hurriedly rushed toward their young master to make sure he was alright.

"Young master!? Are you alright?.. Healer, quick call a healer!!"

Hans the deputy butler in charge of taking care of Cale Henituse's meals, quickly supported his young master who was stumbling as he holds the wound on his side.

"Young master, please sit down first."

The deputy butler tried to support Cale toward a chair. But before he could do anything Cale immediately pushed him away.

" I'm fine. So don't you dare lay your dirty hand on me I can stand by myself. "

Cale said with a scowl on his face. He then starts to walk toward the main entrance of the mansion. The servants tried to stop him a few times only to get a barrage of curses.

Hans was panicking as he watch the young master slowly walking to the door. He quickly heads toward the count's study to inform the incident.

But by the time the Count and Hans arrive at the hall, Cale already left the mansion. The Count and servant quickly ask the guard if they have seen the young master.

The guard could only bow deeply toward the Count as he fail to stop the young master from leaving. The Count was worried about his eldest son's well-being he hurriedly command the guards to search for his son.

The guards form a team of four and started searching for their Young Master. But even after turning the territory upside down, they couldn't find even a strand of his red hair.

Count Deruth Henituse start to get anxious as he heard his vessels report his missing son. There should not be any place in the Henituse territory that Cale could use to hide as all the guards and the residents know him.

Deruth thought about where his son would be hiding, the guard already searched all the bars that Cale frequently go but he was not there.

At this point, Deruth realizes he doesn't know anything about his son Cale, other than the fact about his son's current trashy behavior and when he was still a child before his mother's, Deruth's wife's passed away.

But after the loss of his wife, Deruth stops paying attention to Cale and buried himself with the territory work. Since then the harmonious relationship between the father and son start to crack.

A year after his wife passed away, Deruth fell in love with the current Countess Violan Henituse. At first, he hesitate to marry her because he was afraid that Cale could not accept the fact his father found a replacement for his mother.

But much to his surprise Cale accept his decision without much thought. He is thankful for his son's thoughtfulness so much that he takes it for granted.

As time pass, the crack in their relationship seems to only grow large to the point he doesn't even know when Cale starts to change.

The more Deruth thinks about it, the more he starts to feel guilty. He fails to notice that he neglects his greatest gift in life, his lovely son. All because he was afraid he would remember about his dead wife every time he sees his son.

He knows his precious son did nothing wrong, but because of his cowardliness his son has to suffer the feeling of loneliness. His young precious son.

Now Deruth felt so hopeless, he knows no matter how hard he tried to search for Cale right now he won't find him because he know nothing about his son, only one person know Cale's whereabouts and he is also the only person who knows Cale the best.

That's why Deruth hurriedly calls that person to his study.

Knock, knock.

" Come in."

"Did you call for me, My lord?"

" Hah... Yes, Ron."

Ron Molan. The butler has been by his son's side since he was born. Although Ron and his son Beacrox Molan's identity is a mystery, the count and his previous wife trusted the old man as he never did any harm to the county.

Especially his deceased wife, she trusted the old man in taking care of their son even after she pass away, that's why Deruth could only hope Ron would be able to find his son.

"Ron have you heard about what has happened this afternoon?"

"Yes my Lord, I shall go and bring the Young Master back home."

" So you know where my son would be?"

" Yes my Lord."

" Where is he?"

" The Henituse Family graveyard my Lord."

The count flinches as he heard the old butler answer. He knows why his son would be there and why the guard was not able to find him.

The Henituse Family graveyard is forbidden for anyone other than the Henituse family and those who have permission from the head family to enter. Over the years there's rarely anyone who would enter the place except for the graveyard keeper.

Seeing as his son was there, Deruth knows very well that Cale has been visiting the place frequently. There is only one reason for Cale to be there after what had happened.

He was seeking his mother's comfort. The more he thought about how Cale would go to his deceased wife every time he was upset for comfort, the more Deruth felt ashamed of himself.

He was so focused on his work and the new family that he forgot that his eldest son is still young. Even right now he is still a child, Cale was only 18 years old, barely an adult.

"Hah... Ron please bring Cale back and make sure to treat his wound as soon as possible."

" Yes Sir."

With that short response, Ron quickly takes his leave to bring his puppy Young Master home. As soon as the door closed, the count cover his face with his palm, and a single tear dripped down onto the table.

' I'm sorry Jour, I have let you down. I have neglected our treasure, our proof of love. I failed as a husband and a father. I shall ask for our son's forgiveness even if he hates me.'

That evening the count regrets his actions as he swears to redeem his actions and asks his son's forgiveness.
