“Then why did you do that with Huitae? Explain it to me.” “…What?” “I’m telling you to explain what happened with Esper Jo Huitae. Surely you aren’t going to say Huitae was on the verge of going on a rampage?” “……” Hyewoo’s eyes wavered. “How did Dad find out about that….” “Apparently Huitae made quite a racket about it.” Drunk, Jo Huitae had bragged about what happened with Hyewoo to the counterterrorism team that came to the hotel. He had not only exaggerated their…-

“Actually, I don’t know how I did it, either. I was guiding him in a hurry, and it just happened…. Is it bad for the Esper?” “No. It isn’t.” Jinwon answered in a more subdued voice than usual. “Oh, then that’s a relief….” “It’s dangerous precisely because the opposite is true.” Before Hyewoo had time to feel relieved, Jinwon warned him. “…Dangerous? Why?” “……” Jinwon gathered his thoughts, considering how to explain it to Hyewoo. The highest official rank among…

* 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…

“Are you feeling a little calmer now?” “……Yes.” Hyewoo answered in a small voice. Unable to meet Jinwon’s eyes, he remained seated on the floor with his head bowed. The fit had vanished without a trace, as if it had never driven Hyewoo into despair. Once his emotions had reached their peak and cooled, all that remained was embarrassment. Baek Jinwon’s shirt was damp with tears, and the previously unwrinkled sleeve was crumpled beyond recognition. Though there were gaps in his memory, Hyewoo…

Leaning back against the sofa, Hyewoo gazed at the view outside. The snowflakes that had been fluttering through the air had become heavy snow, steadily piling up in white. When he watched the falling snow, he lost all sense of time. As he went limp and sank his entire body into the sofa, drowsiness gradually began to creep over him. “I need to wash my face….” Sleep weighed down the end of his words. Hyewoo struggled to sit up and, out of habit, held out both arms. Without him even having to ask to…

At last, the final puzzle piece slipped neatly into its empty spot. Hyewoo happily called for Jinwon as he gazed at the completed puzzle. “Hyung…! I finished it.” Jinwon, who had been baking cookies in the kitchen, came over to Hyewoo. As he drew close and leaned against him, a sweet, bittersweet scent brushed the tip of Hyewoo’s nose. “What do you think? It’s pretty, right…?” “Yes, it’s pretty.” Jinwon kissed Hyewoo on the cheek. His eyes curved as he asked, “Shall we put it in a…

“You don’t have to finish everything. Just choose whatever looks good. You can’t fill your stomach with food that doesn’t taste good.” “That’s right.” Choi Hyeok and Go Jihee were remarkably in sync at times like this. Hyewoo studied the food on the table. There was only so much he could eat, so he had to choose carefully. “Young Master, would you like to try this?” Jinwon, who was sitting beside him, removed the flesh from a piece of fish and placed it in Hyewoo’s mouth. Hyewoo…

“Hyewoo, aren’t you hungry? Have you eaten?” “Yeah, I ate before I came. What about you, noona?” “I ate, too. Then, hmm….” Hyejin thought for a moment before asking, “Should we borrow a counseling room here and talk? It doesn’t seem like it’ll take very long.” “Yeah, I’m fine with that.” Hyewoo knew Hyejin was busy these days, so he didn’t particularly want to go somewhere else. It seemed Hyejin had only managed to stop by after making a little time in her schedule…

Hyewoo knew that he was somewhat dependent, too. In situations other people might find stifling, he instead felt secure. Even if Jinwon told him not to set foot outside the house from that moment onward, Hyewoo would naturally say he understood. Hyewoo greeted Choi Hyeok and Go Jihee with a cheerful smile. “Thank you both for coming all the way here again today. Was it far?” “Of course not. Not at all. We’re the ones who should be grateful. Did you know Esper Baek Jinwon pays us a month’s salary…

After lunch, Hyewoo headed to the Esper counseling center with Jinwon. It was his first outing in a very long time. Even counting the time he had spent inside the gate, he had no idea how long it had been since he had gone outside. The scenery flashing past the car window seemed novel again, and Hyewoo spent the entire trip to the counseling center pressed against the glass, looking outside. “How does it feel to be out again after so long?” “It’s a little strange, but… I like it.” After Hyewoo…

Only after several minutes had passed did Hyewoo manage to turn around with difficulty. His legs trembled violently. He walked weakly toward the bedside table, as he had intended from the beginning. It was when he finally managed to take hold of the medicine bottle that it happened. “……” Hyewoo felt as though his heart had stopped. Calm eyes, utterly free of sleepiness, were watching him. Hic. His body, startled to the point of fainting, let out a hiccup. Hyewoo froze with his hand still around the…

He couldn’t keep the two of them tied to this place forever just because of him. Hyewoo might not mind it, but the others probably wouldn’t like being confined to a single location. “If that is what you wish, Young Master, then I will arrange it. Will you be all right without them here?” “I’ll be fine. If I miss them, I can go visit them again….” “All right. Then we shall do that.” Jinwon informed the two of them that very day. Everything proceeded swiftly, as though all that had been…
