“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…- 289.6 K • Completed
“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…- 289.6 K • Completed
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…- 289.6 K • Completed
“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…- 289.6 K • Completed
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. However, that dimension clashed with others. In a series of wagers between gods, dimension S-327 lost—leading to its destruction. At that time, Heendungi nearly lost his sense of self. The god who had granted him power abandoned that dimension. I don’t want this. I’m scared! I don’t want…- 289.6 K • Completed
At Jiho’s murmur, Heendungi’s ears twitched. Watching that, Dojin continued speaking. “He can’t speak, but he’s shown some very unusual behavior. He understands everything we say, and he has a clear sense of self.” Heendungi, who had been lying with his eyes closed as if asleep, flinched. Dojin called softly, watching him closely. “Heendungi.” Another flinch. His back twitched. Dojin remained silent, as if pressuring him. After a pause, Heendungi opened one eye…- 289.6 K • Completed
Now, several days later— Beep. Beep. Beep. After receiving emergency treatment from a healing Esper at the scene, Jiho had been immediately transferred to a hospital, where he remained hospitalized. Though his wounds had fully healed, his consciousness had yet to return. The doctor’s opinion was that his body and mind had undergone such immense strain and shock that what he needed most was rest. “Captain Baek…” “……” “Please rest, even just a little. You don’t look…- 289.6 K • Completed
‘.…!’ Jiho’s consciousness stirred violently. Just like before, he struggled, twisted his body, and shook his head wildly. ‘Just a little more, just a little more…’ Only one minute and thirty seconds remained. He could see the team members trying to attack the dream demon from behind, and the dream demon dragging Jiho’s body to respond to them. As she watched Alpha Team hesitate because of Jiho, the dream demon delighted like a child. “If you sacrifice just this one…- 289.6 K • Completed
Bang! At last, the bullet shot out at high speed. Gunfire followed in rapid succession. Bang, bang bang! Bang! While slashing through monsters with his spear, Dojin tracked the bullet Jiho had fired with his eyes. It was the moment the silver bullet was about to hit the wall. ‘Now!’ Dojin burst forth with magic and fired flames toward the bullet. The bullets struck by the flame exploded in turn with a loud boom. Boom! A deafening explosion unlike any other attack shook the…- 289.6 K • Completed
At last, Jiho took his hands off his face and, now looking much calmer, peeked out through the gap. Dojin had told him to stay hidden here—but… ‘…I want to protect him too. I want to protect Baek Dojin.’ Unable to swallow his worry, Jiho poked his head out through the narrow opening. He sighed in relief as he watched Dojin, now using his powers to dispatch the monsters faster than before. ‘Maybe I was… just a little helpful.’ Jiho’s heart, which had shrunk under the…- 289.6 K • Completed
