Jiho’s dilemma dragged on for quite some time. He knew he had to go, but the feelings built up over four years couldn’t be so easily discarded. He was worried about Baek Dojin. After all, this point in time could be seen as the past of the third life Dojin. ‘Come to think of it… after remembering the first round, hyung kept having nightmares.’ Could it be that when Jiho returned to the third life and his body suddenly died, it had shocked Dojin deeply? Countless concerns filled his…-

After letting go of his anxiety, Jiho became even more proactive in his duties as Baek Dojin’s paired Guide. It was a direct result of the realization he’d come to that day, as he listened to Baek Dojin’s heartbeat. That the Dojin from the first life and the Dojin from the third life were the same person. Jiho even began correcting Baek Dojin’s rotten attitude. All the nagging he had previously held in, thinking it wasn’t his role, he now let out without restraint. “Hyung, couldn’t…-

At first, he had thought it would be simple. He believed that since he had entered the dungeon with the artifact, the god would naturally reach out to him. But nothing happened in the first dungeon he entered while holding the artifact. Even when he called out to the god silently in his mind, or aloud with his voice, there was no response. ‘That’s strange…’ Still, it was only the first try. At that point, he was more confused than afraid. But when nothing happened in the second,…-

A scene flashed through Jiho’s mind, himself in a black hood, breaking into the Director’s office late at night. Given the circumstances, he felt confident he’d risk his conscience if it meant securing the artifact.The problem was whether he actually had the ability to bypass the far tighter-than-expected security and steal the item.He hadn’t tried it before, but he had a strong feeling he’d be caught and cuffed by security before he could even make an attempt.‘What do I…-

That day was no different from any other. Except for one thing, Baek Dojin, who usually followed Jiho around like a shadow, had gone to a meeting with the Esper Director. With Baek Dojin finally separated from him for the first time in a while, Jiho wandered aimlessly around the Center. There wasn’t really anywhere worth going inside the Center, and he figured maybe if he just walked around, a good idea might pop into his head. “Uuumm…” Alone and dazed, Jiho made an easy…-

The Baek Dojin of the first life was very, very different from the one Jiho knew. For one thing, he wasn’t the Alpha Team’s captain. ‘Why? He’s an S-rank with multiple abilities.’ Baek Dojin was part of the Beta Team. Not even as a team leader, just a regular esper. Jiho couldn’t understand why someone as capable as Baek Dojin was kept as “just an esper.” It was a waste of talent. But it didn’t take long for him to find out why. ‘Ah…’ Within a single day, Jiho’s…-

“Haa…!” A shock slammed through his entire body. Seo Jiho jolted upright with a dry cough, gasping for breath. Thud When he propped himself up beside his hip, something rolled away at his fingertips. Only then did Seo Jiho take in his surroundings. ‘W-where… is this?’ The bed beneath him was a mess of wrinkled sheets. Medicine bottles and empty liquor containers were scattered all around. Crumpled tissues and bits of trash, purpose unknown, were strewn across the floor. And on…-

“It’s been a while, child.” “…God. It’s you, isn’t it?” “Yes. As expected, you recognized me right away. I knew you would.” The god let out a calm laugh. It was the first time anyone had ever heard the god’s voice, and everyone froze on the spot. Perhaps it wasn’t just the voice, but the overwhelming pressure radiating from Hayan’s body that had paralyzed them. Regardless, the god crossed his legs and sat on the sofa as if none of that mattered. “The reason I’ve…-

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…-

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…-
