Despite Jiho’s dedicated care, Dojin’s condition remained unchanged. The medical team shared the opinion that Dojin might never wake up again.But Jiho didn’t give up. He used the money he had earned from working as a Guide to nurse Dojin. Not once did he feel that it was a waste, or that taking care of Dojin was too hard.There were even people who came by now and then to look after him in return. “Jiho-ya, isn’t it hard? Oh dear… You’re going through so much because of that…- 289.6 K • Completed
- Inside a spotless dressing room with not a single thing out of place, Jiho was busy getting ready to go out. “Hm…” He wore a navy sweatshirt and jeans, layered with a black coat. Out of habit, he reached for his scarf, but when he saw the sun shining outside the window, he set it down again. ‘If I wear that too, it’ll be too hot.’ It was already spring outside. The cold snap hadn’t entirely passed, but it wasn’t chilly enough to be bundled up in a scarf. Jiho lightly patted…

- “Dojin hyung.” “Ah…” “It’s okay. It’s okay.” “Gasp. Uh, ugh…” “It’s okay.” Warm yet cold energy surged through the skin where they touched. It felt like vitality was returning to Dojin’s parched, withered body. ‘More, give me more. It’s not enough. More…’ I want to eat you. As if possessed, Dojin lowered his upper body. The prey beneath him seemed to know where his face would go and guided him toward it. Dojin’s lips touched the soft…

- “…Huh?” “Guide Jiho!” Everyone cried out in alarm and tried to hold Jiho back. But Jiho looked around at the people restraining him and spoke clearly. “I was taught that guiding can soothe an esper in a overload state.” “But that only works if you can approach them! If you go in now, you’ll be swept up in it and die without a trace!” “No!” Jiho’s eyes shone. “If it’s radiant guiding, it’ll work!” “…!” “I just need to get as close as…

- Jiho, unaware of Dojin’s plan, remained at the safe zone as requested, focusing on radiant guiding. As he concentrated, pink-hued energy began to flow from his body. It was such a striking sight that the guides nearby could only stare blankly at Jiho for a moment. “Ah! That’s right, guiding!” “Oh…!” Snapping out of it, they hurriedly resumed guiding. From a distance, it hadn’t been clear, but up close, the reality of how badly the battle was going hit hard. That’s all…

- Grrrrraaaah! The monster, enraged at being interrupted mid-feast, let out a furious roar. At first, the humans’ interference had been merely annoying, but now it was starting to genuinely infuriate it. As the monster grew more violent in its resistance, it was the humans who began to shed blood. “Aaaagh!” “Just a little longer!” “Hold the line, hold–!” The espers were being torn apart, quite literally. Bodies were strewn all over the ground at their feet. Most were…

- Kwak Jiheon, who had been assisting the escort team near the safe zone, came looking for Dojin after hearing his radio transmission. In front of everyone who had gathered around him and Jiheon, Dojin explained the weakness of the monster he had seen. “I saw its core. It was located deep in its throat, near the esophagus.” He pointed to a spot on his neck. It was a place that couldn’t be seen unless the creature’s jaw was completely blown off, just like before. The monster’s body was…

- Boom! Bang! Groooaaaar Explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by the monster’s eardrum-shattering howls. Between them, the growls of other monsters and the desperate cries of the espers fighting to hold them back all mixed together in a chaotic mess. ‘What is going on…?’ Jiho watched the situation unfold with bated breath alongside the other guides. Thankfully, just when the safe zone had been half-destroyed and monsters began pouring in, Yulchan had appeared and…

- The monster may have been slow, but there was no way to stop it from moving where it wanted. Just what in the world was its body made of? Boom! Bang! Even after countless espers unleashed attacks on it, not a single scratch appeared on its body. “Do everything you can to slow it down! We need to buy time!” Dojin led the espers in focusing all their efforts on impeding the monster’s movement. It was the best they could do for now. The other espers gritted their teeth and continued…

- The espers, sensing they couldn’t avoid the monster’s gaze, lit flames across the area. It was a battle they would have to face anyway, so it was best to eliminate unnecessary variables. Thanks to that, they were finally able to see the monster’s form more clearly, no longer hidden in darkness. Grrrrrr From the creature’s gaping mouth spilled dark red blood, along with chunks of flesh and fragments of bone. Its howl was enough to rupture eardrums. Even Dojin grimaced and covered one ear…
