'ugh....my head hurts damn it..'
'huh..? Where'

"Where...am I..? Am I dead?"

"Not yet but soon yes"

"Ah! Who!?"

"I'm the god of death, I've brought you to offer a deal"

"A..deal?"

"Indeed"

"Why.."

"Let's just say, it's to fix my past mistakes"

"But, why me?"

"Why not you?"

"Mm, such a strange god"
...
"What exactly is the deal?"

"You, you will regress back to the past when you were 8, there you will meet someone new I've sent, he will help you save your family and kill the white star"

"...why age 8 why not earlier or later!?"

"That, I cannot answer, I am sorry my child"

The boy's fists were trembling
'this.. useless! If I can't save her or avoid the same thing what is the point!?'

"The point..yes the point is after everything is finished she will reincarnate into your world once again in the hidden kingdom, you will once again meet her. That, that is the point"

"What!? You mean.."

"It's exactly as I've said, so my child, do you accept the deal?"

"...yes, yes I accept"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Blink.
Blink blink.

'Am I...did I really come back to the past?'

The boy looked around his surroundings then heard a knock

"Young master Cale, please come outside it's time to attend the funeral"

'Ah...that bastard God, really had to send me in this exact date huh..'

"Young master? If you don't answer I will come inside"

The boy walked up to the door and opened it to see Ron, the butler that left him to follow the boy who beat him up in the past.

"Young master,"

"Let's go"

Flinch, Ron, the cold hearted assassin Ron flinched at the cold voice of the young boy

"Ron?"

"Ah, yes let's go"

The servant picked the boy up and took him to the funeral.

Cale saw alot of familiar faces even tho he had hazy memories he still recognized everyone in the place but one single person.

It was a man with dark red hair standing close to the coffin of his mother.

A bit farther beside the man was his father Deruth crying holding the coffin.

Everything was the same except that red hair man.

"Who.."

"Young master that man is your mother's younger brother, he is your uncle"

"A,ah thank you Ron.."

"No problem"

Ron arrived at the place and put Cale down.

Cale glanced at the man who is supposed to be his uncle and walked over to his father to comfort him.

"Father.."

Cale hugged his father who couldn't even speak properly.

But Cale felt like someone was staring at him.

That man. That man with the dark red hair was staring at the father and son duo with a disappointed look.

The man then stopped staring at them and looked back at the coffin where his sister's lifeless body was laying down.

"Look at that man he isn't shedding even a single drop of tear"

"Such an emotionless bastard, I bet he's happy lady jour died since he'll be the head of their house now"

"Such a greedy man what's even the point of being the head of a fallen household"

"I heard he recovered the household"

"I guess he is as greedy as everyone says"

"What an bastard can't even comfort the young master or the lord"

...

It's the same.

It's the same reaction and comments.

They're all the same.

Whether it be team leader and CJS funeral in earth or Sister's funeral in this world it's all the same.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Cale who heard the relatives comments was pissed it's not that he already likes his uncle it's because they shouldn't judge someone they didn't know like this.

That man's only family was my mother.
Since everyone in mother's family either died or ran away and changed identities that means my mother was his only family.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The funeral ended and Cale who was suffering from the after shock of the regression and remembering all his hazy memories had fainted in his uncle's embrace.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It's now the next day after the funeral.
Cale had woken up and asked Ron where his uncle is only to hear that he had left saying he doesn't belong here.

He is a Thames and does not belong to the henituse household.

Cale frowned when he hear that but Ron continued saying that he gave his address to Ron saying,

" 'If that kid misses me and asks about me then tell him to come over to my house' is what he had said before he left young master"

"I see, thank you Ron,"
"Yes uhm, is father okay?"

"He's, doing fine"

"Ah, alright"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
It's been 3 weeks since the funeral happened.

Father is still ignoring me but I'm not surprised since he did the same in the past.

But something is strange.

Why is my uncle kidnapping me right now...?

.....

Cale was currently pretending to be while while his uncle (who came inside the room using the window) took him into his embrace and jumped off the building.

Cale at first wanted to protest and scream but he decided not to. After all it's his uncle who kidnapped him. Even if Cale wasn't close with him his uncle was clearly heart broken from his mother's death and if he were to kidnap Cale for his looks that reminded everyone of his mother then he rather let them kidnap him.

Well, it's because at least they want him and weren't neglecting or ignoring him. Unlike his father who shunned him away.

...

"You're awake aren't you?"

Cale heard his uncle's question and decided to answer it in his normal tone "yeah"

"Why didn't you protest?"

"I rather be kidnapped than be shunned by my own father, at least he'll now know about the importance of my existence."

Cale's uncle let out a long sigh before stopping his run and tearing the teleportation scroll.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
As usual, Ron was on his way to wake up the young master, Cale henituse but something made him flinch when he came near the door.

A maid who was near him cleaning asked "What's wrong mister Ron?"

"..no...nothing I must have gotten too old"

The maid was confused but didn't question any farther

Ron on the other hand was trying to convince himself that he's old that's why he can't feel the young master's presence.

Ron opened the door and his hope shattered.

Cale was not in his room, infact his room was messed up terribly as if someone robbed it.

From Cale's clothes to his expensive things, all were gone no all were stolen.

Ron went to Deruth and quickly informed him about cale's disappearance.

The county fell into a chaotic state.

"Check every corner of the territory! No! Every corner of the kingdom! Check it! Find my son no matter what!" Deruth had gone slightly insane but it was understandable Cale was his only child and most importantly his only child with the person he loved so much.
(then why did you shun him away? Why did you ignore him? Why didn't you comfort him? Why? why? why?)
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
On the other hand Cale is now eating breakfast with his uncle.

"Wow uncle you cook really well!"

His uncle snorted "Don't talk, just keep eating"
He then continued
"Tsk, did those bastards not feed you? Why are you so skinny , weak and your weight is so light I felt like I was carrying a broom"

"...uncle did you just compare me to a broom?"

"....keep eating"

"..sure"

After a while Cale finished his breakfast and is now sitting in the living room with his uncle

"So Cale, do you wish to go back to the henituse or stay with me"

"Will you let me go if I said I wanna go back?"

"Of course I'd let you go, I didn't ask you for show, so do you wanna go back?"

"Mm, No I wanna stay, that place has never felt like a home in this past 3 weeks"
He then continued
"Father does not wish to see me anymore, he ignored me and shunned me away"

"...that fucking bastard I knew I shouldn't have let Jour marry him.."

"Huh? What was that?"

"Nothing, I took your stuff from your room and put them in your new room"

"Oh? My things are here?"

"Yeah, I took some stuff from Jour's room too, they seemed important for you"

"Ah, thank you Uncle"

"Mm"

"But uncle"

"What"

"What's your name?"

"Kim Ji-ho Thames"
