“Yes.” Perhaps the immediate answer had taken him by surprise, because Jinwon raised one eyebrow. Then, a moment later, he smiled again. “Then shall I stay beside you until you fall asleep?” “Yes. I’d really like that….” It was such a tempting offer that Hyewoo nodded as if entranced, unable to bring himself to refuse. In the past, even if he had felt disappointed, he would have pretended he was fine. He didn’t do that anymore. Hyewoo had become much more honest than before, because he…-

“I said it because I was curious back then, but… that’s not why now.” “……” “Really. I’m not curious about it at all anymore.” Perhaps because remembering the forgotten memory had made it difficult to sound convincing, even Hyewoo’s own words sounded dubious to him. Flustered, he avoided Jinwon’s gaze. He knew that looking away made him seem like someone with plenty to feel guilty about, but he did it anyway. “Have you said anything like that to Esper Jo Huitae since…

“That sounds good. Shall we go out to the balcony?” When they opened the balcony door and stepped outside, Hyewoo felt the cold air. The garden, whose lights had not yet been turned off, was bathed in a soft glow. Hyewoo had Jinwon sit at the small table on the balcony. Maybe he should have practiced for one more day before showing him. Now that he was actually about to do it in front of Jinwon, he felt a little nervous. Jinwon had inspected what he learned in class before, but this was the first time…

Esper Baek Jinwon was the only person in history, past or present, to manifest an S-rank ability at his first awakening. It was an awakening that had caused a sensation around the world. That wasn’t all. Jinwon was also famous for being impeccably behaved when receiving guiding. He was a high-ranking Esper with an excellent character, so quite a few people wanted the position of his exclusive Guide. Hyewoo must have become one of them. Kim Ganghui nodded inwardly, thinking it was understandable. “You…

“You must be remembering it incorrectly. You were the one who kissed me, but I was the one who put my tongue in first.” “…” Put his tongue in… Hyewoo’s gaze wandered at the expression he had never expected to hear. Jinwon said it in such a matter-of-fact voice, without even the slightest hint of lust, that Hyewoo became even more flustered. “Th-that’s because I kissed you first without permission… I think you were swept up in it for a moment because of me.” It was said that people…

Hyewoo woke in the predawn darkness, just before daybreak. Blinking his sleepy eyes, he slowly adjusted to the dark. No wonder he had felt strangely stifled. He was being held in Jinwon’s arms. Strong arms encircled the back of Hyewoo’s neck and his waist. Hyewoo had always slept and woken alone, so lying in the same bed as someone else felt a little awkward. And the fact that the person beside him was none other than Jinwon made it feel even more unreal. The bluish light of dawn flickered around…

In fact, if Hyewoo needed his medication, he could have asked Jinwon for help. Hyewoo knew that Jinwon would come if he merely called out to him in a quiet voice from his room. Which meant that Hyewoo had chosen not to call Jinwon. It also meant that he would rather endure a seizure than look at Jinwon’s face. As Jinwon frantically ran through the possibilities, his expression slowly hardened. It was only a beat later that he realized he was not in a rational state of mind. ‘You look so much like your…

“Yes.” “But don’t push yourself too hard.” “Yes, I will.” Jinwon turned away after ending the brief call, his face expressionless. Perhaps because he had not seen Hyewoo’s face, which he saw every morning, the day felt especially tedious. Jinwon was in a worse mood than usual, and the effects of it fell upon Jo Huitae, an Esper of the Delta Team. “What did Lee Hyewoo tell you to make you grind me down like this? I didn’t do anything. We got into a bit of an argument, and he tripped over…

But Hyewoo kept approaching him. He looked at Jinwon with eyes that were both afraid of him and trusting of him. As though he knew that Jinwon would never hurt him. Jinwon wondered where that blind trust came from. Jinwon was the person Hyewoo should have been most wary of. He was not someone Hyewoo could trust. He was staying by Hyewoo’s side with another purpose in mind, and in the end, he would have to kill both Hyewoo and his father. ‘I had class today, and I met a strange kid. His name is Isak,…

For more than ten years, Jinwon had been funding a single research project. The researchers were searching for a way to extract an Esper’s ability and convert it into another form of energy, and at present Jinwon was the research institute’s sole sponsor. That was why he continued accepting requests from the center director even after earning enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life. His sponsorship did not end with transferring money. He provided byproducts obtained during gate…

Jinwon stood blankly in the middle of the living room and looked down at himself. Everything in his field of vision had faded like a black-and-white film. His hands and feet were small, like a child’s, and his eye level was low as well. It had been a long time since he’d dreamed. It seemed that an old, long-buried past had come looking for him again. When he looked around, the place was just as familiar as ever. The nightmare that had repeated itself countless times began in the same place again. This…

Of course, it was all in Hyewoo’s head. Creeeak. This time, the linen cabinet door opened. A bead of sweat that had gathered on his forehead slid down soundlessly. Please… Like an animal that thought hiding its head meant it couldn’t be seen, Hyewoo buried his face in his arms. Even though he already knew he had been discovered, he couldn’t bring himself to raise his head. As though teasing him, the blankets were slowly pulled away. Then, for one brief moment, he felt astonishingly refreshed. That…
