“Y-Yeah?” “You seemed curious about it.” Dojin smiled gently and reached out toward Jiho. As if it were second nature, he tucked Jiho’s hair behind his ear and continued, “Dr. Cha said it would be better to approach the guiding issue a little more carefully for now. He suggested we first take time to talk properly, build trust gradually, and increase physical contact step by step.” “Trust…” “Of course, there’s already plenty of that.” He placed a piece of…-

He doesn’t know what state of mind he was in when they left Esper wing. ‘Ugh, this is so awkward…!’ As they exited the building, Jiho fidgeted in Dojin’s grasp. His palm had started to sweat from nervousness, and it was bothering him. “Hy-hyung. My hand…” “Why? Is it uncomfortable?” “No, no. It’s just, my hand is sweaty…” “It’s fine. Let’s just go like this.” Apparently Jiho was the only one bothered by the dampness, because Dojin instead intertwined…

Dojin closed his eyes, exhaustion plain on his face. Just then, the Esper Director’s secretary entered. “Um, Esper Director. Did you see the news? We just got a call from the embassy.” The Esper Director took the phone from the secretary. Kwak Jiheon quickly pulled out his own phone to check the article. It hadn’t even been two weeks since the investigation into the Nevada dungeon had begun. “What… what the hell is this? They said we’d have at least one to three…

“Guide Jiho!” The wide lobby on the first floor of the Esper Wing instantly turned chaotic. It was because the Alpha Team members, who had heard the news in advance, came running and swarmed around Jiho in excitement. “Are you really okay now? Nothing hurts?” “Do you know how scared we were?! You can’t do something so reckless ever again!” “But your face looks a bit red. Are you running a fever? Gasp! Should we take you to the hospital for a check-up?” Not a single…

Fortunately, opening the window and letting in the cold air helped cool down his face. As Guide Jiho hurried down to the first floor, he was lost in thought. ‘I-I should talk to him more, right?’ What should he say to Dojin on the plane? ‘First… I should apologize again. I didn’t do it properly earlier.’ He realized he’d been too focused on himself. Dojin had his own wounds too. Feeling guilty again, Jiho worried about how to bring it up and how best to apologize. ‘And…

“I didn’t mean to just dump all my feelings on you like this. And the fact that I like you… I’ll try to suppress it, so don’t worry about it.” “No, hyung. I…” “I’ll get some counseling when we get back to Korea. Probably just need to fix my screwed-up head a bit.” Dojin didn’t even give Jiho a chance to speak. What could Jiho possibly say other than a rejection? Dojin snatched his coat, the pill bottle, and the luggage from Jiho’s hands and turned…

“Why… why are you lying to me?” “……” “You’ve been taking guiding pills without telling me?” “……” “Why won’t you let me guide you?” “Guide Jiho. I…” He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. He hesitated. Again and again. But in the end, it was just that same suffocating silence. By now, Jiho’s eyes had dried up. Strangely, not even tears would come. His heart had gone cold, and so his words came out cold as…

The twilight of dawn had settled. Moonlight poured in through the hospital window, casting its glow over the sleeping Jiho. Dojin, seated on a stool he had dragged over, gazed at Jiho’s face with a dazed expression. Like a starving beast staring at a plump rabbit, he involuntarily swallowed dryly. In truth, he was tormented by unbearable hunger and thirst. It was due to symptoms of guiding deprivation. Rosy cheeks flushed with returning health, a rounded nose, plump lips, a slender…

“Yes. You just came back from witnessing memories forgotten by another-dimensional being, didn’t you?” The god stretched a hand into the air. Golden lights shimmered and swirled, forming small glowing shapes. They took the form of someone identical to Dojin. “In the first wager, you all made it safely to the final battle.” The glowing image of Dojin fought a colossal monster. Piled beneath his feet were the corpses of countless monsters and humans alike. But then— “An…

Servants of the Gods. Beings chosen directly by the gods of the dimensions, granted divine power. Heendungi was not originally from Earth. He was chosen as a Servant of the Gods from dimension S-327.
