Since he didn’t check Jiho’s notebook every day, Dojin had no way of knowing when the memo had been written. “Ipcheon… no, maybe Incheon? This one… Yulchang? Yulchan…?” Some words were easy enough to guess, but others were a mystery. Dojin tried to decipher it but soon gave up, shaking his head. He couldn’t bring himself to pry into Jiho’s private thoughts. After closing the notebook and setting it down, Dojin moved quietly, following the faint presence of Jiho. When he…- 289.6 K • Completed
- “…Alright. Have it your way.” “…!” “But no guiding.” “…?” “Only when I request it. Just hugging or holding hands, that’s all.” Nod, nod! Jiho thought to himself that with just hugs or handholding, he’d never get anywhere with guiding. Still, it was more important to secure Dojin’s agreement before he could change his mind. He slipped a hand out from the blanket and held it out, only his pinky extended. Dojin gave a dry, amused laugh at the…

- Leaving the Guide Director behind, Dojin stepped out of the room. Of course, Jiho was with him. He ignored the Director’s voice calling out to him from behind, pretending not to hear. ‘It really would’ve been the best decision to keep him as my Pair.’ With a stiff, stone-faced expression, Dojin continued his thoughts. If he’d been left under someone like that… Under outside pressure, Jiho might have ended up paired with the esper Park Gitae—the very one who assaulted…

- —It’ll be fine. Jiho’s lips moved, mouthing the words. That it would be okay. That he was willing to test with the other espers too. It wasn’t something Dojin wanted to hear. So he pretended not to understand. But Jiho fished around in his coat pocket and pulled out a pink notebook and a pencil. He removed the protective cap from the tip and quickly scribbled something down. Dojin could no longer play dumb. For the first time, he regretted ever giving Jiho that notebook and…

- Before his regression, he’d been timid and scared—too much so to use his full ability. The result back then? Grade A. It was a high enough rank, and since Jiho hadn’t cared much about grades, he never tried to revise it. But things were different now. Jiho might be a little nervous, but he wasn’t afraid or holding back. If he didn’t deliberately suppress it, hitting S-rank wasn’t out of the question. “You can begin now,” came the researcher’s voice. Jiho didn’t…

- “With this, the two of you are officially a pair. Guide Seo Jiho, train hard from now on. And Esper Baek Dojin… well, I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but make sure to protect your pair guide out in the field.” The director had seen it happen too many times: espers broken after losing their pair guides on the frontlines. There were a few who had followed their guides in death. But most didn’t die—they lost their minds, and with it, their control. And when espers went berserk,…

- Meanwhile. Jiho—the “controversial” center of the frenzy—started his day like any other, completely unaware that the world had flipped upside down because of him. Breakfast with Dojin, a shower, slipping into the clothes Dojin picked out for him, layered under one of Dojin’s coats. Then, climbing into Dojin’s car for the ride to work. “Things will get busy at the Center. You’ll be starting your new guide training today.” Dojin’s voice drifted over as Jiho sat in the…

- “It might be dangerous to go alone.” Dojin’s expression as he said that was serious. He wasn’t trying to tease Jiho or scare him—he was genuinely concerned. Jiho let out a small, incredulous laugh. Danger? At the Center? What could possibly be dangerous here? Before the regression, there had been a few espers who obsessed over Jiho’s guiding and stalked him. But not anymore. These days, everyone in the Center knew that Jiho was Dojin’s Pair Guide. After all, for the past…

- “Was there traffic on the way?” “No, it was fine. It’s a weekday afternoon.” “That’s good. Judging by your face, you’ve been doing well.” “It’s all thanks to you, Master.” “Ha! Don’t flatter me. I’ve done nothing to deserve that.” Kwak Jiheon chuckled gruffly and put away the Go board. His gaze, which had been watching Dojin’s expression, slid over to Jiho like a shadow. Jiho shrank back and immediately ducked behind Dojin. Seeing the shy reaction, Jiheon…

- Changwook’s voice turned grim. Jiheon, wiping cold sweat from his brow, tried to coax him gently. “Ah, come on. I heard that guy’s a mess at his job. Why don’t you use this chance to step in, huh?” —Hyung. Just ‘cause it comes out of your mouth doesn’t make it reasonable. Huh? What kind of power do I have to kick that bastard out? “You’ve got skills. Everyone knows that, man.” —What do you know? You’ve been retired and haven’t shown your face at the Center even…
