Guide Kang Soyeon, with one arm and one leg each in a cast, awkwardly climbed down from her hospital bed. The ward had grown noisy over the bad news that had come in a little while ago. “They say Guide Lee Hyewoo is unconscious. Soyeon, haven’t you been getting close to Guide Lee Hyewoo lately?” Even in the overcrowded Guide ward, which had been thrown into chaos, rumors spread quickly. Perhaps everyone was bored from doing nothing but lying in bed, because every word exchanged between them…-

Jinwon looked at Hyewoo. Shadows fell across his face as he stood with his back to the light. His expression was impossible to make out, as though it had been painted over with black ink. “Something happens every time I leave you alone. It would be better if I stayed with you.” “Ah…. Then I’ll stay here quietly until you come back….” Hyewoo had been in danger of losing his life twice just today, so Jinwon had every reason to worry about him. When Hyewoo promised not to take even one step…

“Then shall we go again?” “Already? You can rest longer.” “No, it’s all right. I’ll tell you if it gets too hard.” Seeing the people hurrying about right in front of him made Hyewoo uneasy. It was better to let his body grow a little more tired. Because they were holding back a high-ranked gate with too few people, the wounded continued to pour in. The guiding never seemed to end, no matter how much they did. As soon as an Esper recovered, they had to return to the battlefield, and fighting…

“It’s a relief there aren’t any flying creatures on this side. I heard they have to block both the ground and the sky over at the B1 gate.” “I know. It really is a relief.” They were already struggling to hold the line. If there had been creatures flying through the sky as well, things would have been even worse. Above all, Hyewoo could not bear to imagine how many civilian casualties there would be if even one got past them. “Yes, it really is a relief….” Yujin was nodding as he spoke…

“Guide, this way!” Thud, thud! A creature the size of a three-story building was visible, indiscriminately smashing the structures around it. Its tail struck a nearby building, reducing half of it to rubble. Shards of glass and pieces of the building flew in every direction. “Over there.” Yujin spread a transparent shield and blocked the shower of debris. Every time Hyewoo breathed, a mouthful of dust entered his mouth, making it difficult to breathe. He followed Yujin, coughing…

“I’m touched that you consider me part of the same team.” “……” Hyewoo was beginning to think he was unqualified to be a team Guide. Jaejun had clearly been well disposed toward him when he first joined Delta Team. The fact that Jaejun had changed like this was largely Hyewoo’s fault. They had gradually grown more distant, and things had started to become strained once Hyewoo began going on deployments with the Delta Team members. Even while guiding, Hyewoo’s attention had subtly kept…

The entire Delta Team had been mobilized for today’s gate clearing. When Jinwon could not receive guiding from Hyewoo, he was deployed to relatively low-grade gates, but beginning in Hyewoo’s second week of fieldwork, the grade of the gates he was sent to rose. Their routes naturally began to overlap with the Delta Team’s. Even though Jinwon’s wavelength was more stable than before, Hyewoo was anxious. He still had not found Jinwon’s route, and his guiding deficiency had not been cured. Jinwon…

Perhaps deciding that this was a good opportunity, Garam settled in and began telling Hyewoo all sorts of things. He continued explaining what kinds of creatures appeared on maps with different characteristics and what he needed to be most careful about. Hyewoo did his best to commit everything Garam said to memory. “……Intelligent creatures sometimes deliberately target the guides. They instinctively know that guides are an Esper’s weakness, so…….” As Garam continued speaking, Hyewoo sensed…

Hyewoo was still half-asleep and nodding off when Jinwon gave him a brief kiss at the corner of his eye. The first time Jinwon had kissed him, Hyewoo had been so startled that he woke up completely. Now that he was accustomed to it, however, his tension eased into a languid warmth. They had agreed to put mucosal guiding off until later, so Hyewoo and Jinwon weren’t doing mucosal guiding. Instead, they kissed every morning and evening. Most of the time, they were brief bird kisses, but some days they…

“Ngh, hyung….” “It’s all right. Shall we try relaxing once?” Hyewoo slowly raised his head. Calmed by Jinwon’s gentle voice, he tried to relax. Jinwon licked his neck while kneading his chest. He teased the protruding bud lightly, then pressed down on it with his thumb once it stood taut. His touch was different from the rough handling before. “Spread your legs a little farther.” “Hh, nng…. Yes….” Jinwon swallowed Hyewoo’s trembling lips and pushed his tongue inside. When the…

It seemed as though he was checking what kind of reaction Hyewoo would show. Whether he was kissing Hyewoo or smiling at him, Jinwon’s golden eyes had always quietly watched him. “Don’t look at me like that….” Everywhere Jinwon’s gaze touched, Hyewoo felt as though it left a sticky fluid behind. The thought that his every expression and physical reaction was being read made the muscles in his face stiffen. When Hyewoo tried to cover his face, both his arms rose on their own and were restrained…

That familiar feeling had returned. Even sitting right beside Jinwon, Hyewoo felt as though he were impossibly far away from him. Jinwon had said that he wanted Hyewoo to rely on him and tell him everything. Ironically, though, Jinwon was pushing Hyewoo away at the very moment he needed help. He took tender care of Hyewoo, but never wanted the same in return. “…Jinwon hyung.” Hyewoo’s tightly closed lips began to move. Keeping his head bowed, he spoke. “You’ve always told me not to hide…
