“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…- 289.6 K • Completed
- 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…

- “……” He had gone to the kitchen and washed his face clean, but it seemed Dojin had still noticed the faint puffiness around his reddened eyes. Unable to bring himself to admit he’d been crying like a child, Jiho clamped his mouth shut and pretended not to notice. Dojin’s sharp gaze shifted to Jiheon. “Did you make him cry?” “Hah.” A dry laugh escaped Jiheon. This sharp-edged version of Dojin—it was the first time he’d seen it since their first meeting. It was…

- Esper Containment Facility for Out-of-Control Risk Level Espers – Underground Bunker Entrance “Hey! Stop him! Stop him!” “U-ugh, ugh…!” “I told you, you can’t! If you go in there and Baek Dojin loses control, that’s the end for you too, Guide Seo! The end!” “Mmmgh…!” “Ah, seriously!” A commotion broke out in the usually quiet place. At the center of it all was Team 1 guide and Grade A Guide, Seo Jiho. Trying to hold him back were his captain and…

- ‘Uh…’ Jiho’s face turned pale as he spotted Baek Dojin amidst the crowd. Baek Dojin’s condition looked far worse than Jiho had expected. ‘The blood…’ There was a gaping hole in the middle of Baek Dojin’s abdomen—larger than both of Jiho’s fists put together. Thick gauze soaked in blood had been bunched up to fill the wound, but even that didn’t seem enough to stop the bleeding. Not only his clothes and skin but even the navy-blue gem on the necklace he always wore…

- “Sniff… snff…” Jiho had just barely managed to stop crying when it happened. The comforting strokes from Dojin’s hand slowed—then came to a stop. “Are you done crying now?” Dojin’s low voice brushed against Jiho’s ear. Jiho nodded, then timidly burrowed deeper into Dojin’s chest, afraid he’d be pushed away. “W-wait a second…” Flustered, Dojin placed his hands on Jiho’s shoulders to gently push him back. But then—he flinched, freezing in…

- Nod, nod.Thinking of that moment eased Jiho’s mood a little.When he relaxed and gave a small nod, Dojin let out a soft, almost disbelieving laugh and hooked his pinky finger around Jiho’s. “There. Now I can go, right? Head on over now.” With things seemingly settled, Park Gitae—who had been standing off to the side—stepped up again and held his hand out toward Jiho. It was clear he wanted Jiho to take it. But Jiho had no desire to make contact with him. ‘This is just a dream……

- The place Jiho fled to in order to escape Park Gitae was a small storage shed not far away.It was a spot he often hid in to avoid his master’s wrath when he was furious over something else, and now, with his anxiety rising, his feet had taken him there instinctively. Creaaak—Bang!The thick iron door closed with a loud noise. Jiho quickly locked it before Park Gitae could follow and gasped for breath.The sensation of hands that had groped his shoulders and chest still lingered vividly. Goosebumps…

- “Why does Guide Jiho have an injury that wasn’t there earlier?”Dojin’s voice dropped instinctively.With a clear sense of authority, he turned his head to look at Park Gitae, who was standing dumbly behind him.Still clueless, Park Gitae let out a dazed response. “Huh? Wh-what do you mean…?”“Did you hit him?”“M-me? What? No, absolutely not! I didn’t!”Park Gitae flailed in denial, clearly flustered. He truly hadn’t laid a hand on Jiho—he could swear it to the heavens. But all…

- Jiho’s pale face suddenly flushed a deep red. Thinking back, during that time, he hadn’t been eating properly.It was partly his form of rebellion, but mostly because the stress had dulled his sense of taste and killed his appetite.But even without an appetite, hunger didn’t just disappear. Jiho clutched his stomach restlessly. Fainting like a fool and being taken to the hospital—he’d clearly caused a huge hassle for Dojin.And Dojin’s expression wasn’t exactly cheerful right now. Jiho…
