The joy Seoin had felt when he raised Lee Hyewoo’s rank from a mere B-rank to S-rank was impossible to describe in words. Even across all of humanity, few had achieved anything as remarkable as Seoin. The result was not one for which the countless guides sacrificed could be considered too high a price. Lee Hyewoo was practically a trophy proving Seoin’s achievements. From Test Subject No. 247’s heart to every drop of his blood, Seoin had touched it all. So it was stranger that Seoin would not love…-

Hyewoo spoke quietly without meeting his gaze. He could not look Jinwon straight in the eye, afraid his lie would be obvious. Jinwon smiled faintly. “Good. Tell Dr. Lee that, too. He cares about you very much, so he’ll calm down soon.” “Yes…. I will.” “You should stop picking at your hand, too.” Jinwon covered the hand that had been fidgeting beneath the covers with his palm. Under the firm pressure, Hyewoo stopped picking at the hangnail. “Do you think you can fall asleep…

The moment he thought that far, a sudden realization rang through his head. This was not a kiss. Neither the molestation nor the kiss was real. It had been a dream from beginning to end. At the same time as he realized this, the eyelids that had been unable to move until a moment ago slowly lifted, as if to prove that their paralysis had been a lie. His body, which had felt heavy as though someone were crushing it, became capable of moving again. In the darkness, Hyewoo’s eyes met a pair of iridescent…

Why don’t I hate Baek Jinwon? Normally, someone who killed your father would be called an enemy, and you would want revenge. But although Jinwon frightened Hyewoo, he didn’t hate him. He had never once thought of killing Jinwon, or even hurting him. On the contrary, Jinwon’s kindness had comforted him. Hyewoo grew confused by this train of thought that even he couldn’t understand. For several days, merely seeing Jinwon made his head spin, and he had even avoided him. Then, once, he had reflexively…

Even if they smashed Dr. Lee’s laboratory to pieces, as long as the person who had fled with the research records remained alive, the experiments could be resumed in secret at any time. Kim Bongsu intended to find Lee Hyejin, no matter what it took. “You heard that Lee Hyewoo is joining Delta Team this time, right?” “Yes.” “It’s obviously an attempt to draw out Lee Hyejin. If Dr. Lee keeps protecting Lee Hyewoo the way he has been, nothing will get done.” Lee Hyejin had turned against her…

“Ah, so that’s why….” It was an answer he had half expected. The higher an Esper’s rank, the harder it became to find a Guide suited to them. There were already very few A-rank guides, and even fewer S-rank guides. On top of that, Jinwon possessed an ability powerful enough to crush Jo Huitae down in an instant. He was classified as being in the same rank as Jo Huitae merely for convenience. In reality, he should have been considered something beyond S-rank. They said that the greater the…

* Bang! The car door slammed shut noisily. Seoin’s face, twisted in anger while he drove, turned expressionless the moment he stepped out of the car. Suppressing the fury boiling inside him, he entered the building. Even inside the elevator descending underground, Seoin appeared perfectly composed. The moment he entered the punishment room, however, he changed completely. After leaving Hyewoo a message telling him to come downstairs, Seoin destroyed every piece of furniture in the punishment room. Even…

Not far from the Center stood the quarters where Delta Team lived. They were called quarters for convenience, of course, but they were nothing like the dormitory building one might normally imagine. The mansion, equipped with a spacious garden and various amenities, was far too large for a place occupied by only five people. A week after being asked to become Delta Team’s sub Guide, Hyewoo left the mansion he had grown accustomed to. Before heading to the quarters, he met with the team manager and…

The bedroom was smaller than Hyewoo’s room in the main house, but it was still spacious and comfortable. When he entered the adjoining dressing room, he found clothes filling it on every side. Had he really been given this many clothes? As he looked through them, he noticed that many were unfamiliar. His father must have bought and sent additional clothes for him. Smiling quietly, Hyewoo picked up his phone and called Seoin. “Hyewoo, did you arrive safely?” At his father’s voice, Hyewoo…

Jinwon went into the kitchen and began transferring the food onto plates. He ladled out soup and took side dishes from the refrigerator, looking so practiced that Hyewoo could hardly believe he had only arrived the day before. Hyewoo hovered nearby, offering to help, until Jinwon sent him back to the table. “Please eat.” “Thank you.” Hyewoo picked up his spoon, looking a little awkward. Now that Jinwon was one of his teammates, there was no reason for him to take care of Hyewoo. He had never even…

The manager, who had been about to say something, clicked his tongue as though there was nothing he could do and rose from his seat. Confused, Hyewoo stared at him blankly. Hadn’t he said just yesterday that all newcomers were required to attend the training? Hyewoo wondered if he had misunderstood something, but decided to follow the team manager for now. “Actually, it only covers the basics, so I wouldn’t really call it training.” “But yesterday you said it was mandatory….” When Hyewoo…

Garam, now sitting in Hyewoo’s seat, gestured toward the back seat. When Hyewoo hesitated, Garam scrunched up the tip of his nose as if he were sharing a secret with him. “Young Master should sit in the back.” “…Yes.” It had been a long time since the title Young Master had felt this uncomfortable. Still, it would have been strange to tell Garam to get out, so Hyewoo hesitantly stepped back. “No, it would be better for Mr. Jin Garam to move to the back. This is the Young Master’s usual…
