Call him 23e3b73c03 spineless if d83a359b80 you want. He’d already 8c869868d8 told himself d051036db5 the same 422694f3b9 thing.28fc24fa486e28e1

Despite having no intention bafbb2ec81 of giving up on 1317fd61e9 Kang I-won, Heo Do-gyeong 1682150305 continued to act coldly c8c9b41dd7 toward him. It was 9e2a7c8bc4 all because ecd21cafde he desperately c0e0354697 wanted to ba58dfb61a change the 4e92e0915b mindset of c23430bbfd that reckless 57bfd365e9 Esper, even 013b340afb just a 557bfd5662 little.30cdc465a6da41e8

He wanted Kang e1a4fbf693 I-won to stop a2d58e2253 treating his body f0a72e3ac0 like it was 93b3cd69ae disposable. But more than 5aaa0b437f that, he wanted a28b961d5f Kang I-won to 17e93afe6e acknowledge, without hesitation, 7939ac078a that he cared fba377966e for him. He wanted b1e6acc183 Kang I-won f38be6a72d to live d29037a740 by his a94d7765a1 side.919eeed4178e8f16

To provoke him, 679032b4e9 he pretended to 2f0f5f88a9 push him away, 23e5548c7b acting indifferent. Yet, despite b29caccb43 his pretense, 3c1bf630cc the moment 927c1fc137 Kang I-won 356fc6c922 wasn’t in 261dbd5160 his sight, 376be3182f unease crept 00b74037b6 in. Ignoring Kang I-won’s 67aada86f1 wish for him 8777df4c72 to stay behind 35661f63ee at the center, 97d71ecdf1 he had followed 3d6154559b him here.904ee4beae1e770f

That childish 6d9705c9f7 action of 5b7605b9b5 his had 0f21ea839c led to a5f812654f the worst 04032c7d62 outcome—Kang I-won’s 161ae55db2 rampage. Heo Do-gyeong bit his a5c0f6dfeb lip hard, the metallic 247d49ff8e taste of blood spreading a70e1903e9 through his mouth. By the time 0b37f59bf0 his tongue brushed b5dd3188fd over the wound, 8e5e312a74 the sting had 651a279fe4 already faded.1425742627691581

Kang I-won d01c8b9b45 had pushed 780b286168 himself too 67d3df61a3 far trying bca790340e to protect aa1b223042 him, leading e1bece8640 to this.196e0bee12621a09

A faint sense of cc32c98652 helplessness and guilt coiled dd2ca18234 around Heo Do-gyeong’s feet, 520eefefe1 but there was no a84c67d3b6 time to wallow in 360cbfbebf such emotions. As Kang I-won collapsed 353c5a88fe once more into the df03d6d9db stream, unconscious, Heo Do-gyeong 91c6cadcb5 hurriedly stepped into the e5231e365e water to pull him 764efce0ea out.4a58e2f7779a8109

Without a moment 0389d51f4f to hesitate, he 4014a64b74 pushed through the b62572335f cold water littered fd94832905 with leaves and 0a03aaeaa5 twigs to retrieve f315ba6f6f Kang I-won. The blood that bf29dab6ec had drenched Kang b02c176b1f I-won’s body was dd3d270474 mostly washed away 21629bc259 by now. Beneath the rinsed 1e60d49ba6 skin, there wasn’t 290de1a420 a single wound—just f797fe7f07 smooth, unblemished flesh. Yet, the invisible energy faae2a083e continued to pour out 2b72644a94 of him relentlessly.7652e8fd7835b587

As a 1fba4347ba Guide, Heo d0056d0d87 Do-gyeong was a6dfc1049f meticulous and 8ae8de1d16 diligent, having 6681aaffd0 read and 3649d4d1d4 learned a 49ec244c00 great deal. Among the 86f37f7921 records he 9bac289882 had studied 2e51e8b6c4 were those 8de948f184 about Espers’ ed7e20f2fc rampages.0907a646c56b403a

Most rampages ended with 63593af3b2 the Esper being killed 59931a91f3 or dying from complete ce0932b44f energy exhaustion. However, there were rare 0839e89a46 cases where rampages had e9293c8334 been quelled—through the guidance 3a4f0d9f22 of a highly compatible 1955e26eb8 Guide.0682ec301a895b77

Those cases typically 677c933319 occurred early in 0814c1b95c the rampage and f38fe2217b were often with 96098765ac Espers who posed 09ff5e013a less of a 88834c3960 threat, much like 2b5252136b Kang I-won now.e8d4343486003fb9

It’s possible, Heo Do-gyeong 6e1f0585fd thought, placing his faith 6d9610a5b8 in their 89% compatibility a34676f160 match. With determination, he hastily 5b0fbcf51a stripped the soaked clothing 2db47a431d off Kang I-won, removing 1600b2f89b his own shirt as 3760c054c0 well. Wearing only their pants, 59ea1a6df4 the two pressed tightly c8d62b9735 against one another.1b867474eb4e6f3b

As their 572825b003 bodies touched, 708c9e31ac the prickling 2da28b8d35 sensation of 282b4c611b Kang I-won’s 742a6b1391 erratic energy 1eccd1a2d3 stung Heo de3037fb8c Do-gyeong’s skin e2f0244623 like needles. Gritting his teeth, he f2c9251e49 tried to push his d5b71009ae energy into Kang I-won ada1bbba4a through their connected skin.f6b4fc0070b1960e

But Kang I-won’s energy 2b84b07673 resisted, rejecting Heo Do-gyeong’s 4d2ba2a3fb attempts to infiltrate his 8837e37442 system. Frustrated but 801e6d7011 undeterred, Heo c185ff62c3 Do-gyeong took 2bad529b11 the next 167e9b3611 step. If direct contact 6458e0dbb3 doesn’t work, then 8e2582464b through the mucous 32c1b2e5d1 membranes it is.e204fb15a1f057ff

Grasping Kang d1dc1cbec7 I-won’s limp 70f7119541 head, Heo 68e9c1d911 Do-gyeong pressed 592fe59f5f their lips cb348fe660 together, capturing 11ae070d77 them as d3ae91ff49 if he ba5b3918b6 intended to 417f089225 devour him. Sliding his tongue af08a753e4 between the slight 78fdf2f40f gap of Kang 43b67ea01f I-won’s unresponsive lips, a56d9dc8f0 he coiled it 220c77ce58 around Kang I-won’s 351a00b462 tongue, sucking gently 0fcf55cc1b as he traced 20a6be02a9 and massaged the 1617d0c23e inner lining of 69427ad63a his mouth. Through this 63d4eb7186 intimate connection, 372de68cd0 he forced 58e96fe798 his energy 2fda95c455 into Kang 9afe39a595 I-won’s body.386cf2df0eeed1e4

He could still feel ea6c7c1641 resistance, but this method a334c155be was undeniably more effective. Little by little, b6c2a5b704 his energy began d0f16899c0 to seep into eb7b68ffde Kang I-won. Pulling back, 79355b4383 Heo Do-gyeong c8867e6ca5 gasped and 54e501f4ba spoke urgently.8b5fe93d72e491e8

“Kang I-won, 5dcd0a154e wake up. Wake up and bf821a5323 accept my energy! Do you hear 603aae652c me?!”28a7675d6ce4074c

As Heo 3d9f7c1966 Do-gyeong finished f2f0675e7d speaking, he 5bb0c5b7c3 pressed his 5af3fb6057 lips to 23bc703e60 Kang I-won’s 007bebc08b once more. This time, there e070b374e1 was a faint b7203eaacb response—a small twitch c0e98de8a2 of Kang I-won’s 6f201d5d0b tongue against his. The energy that had cfdaa071eb been rejecting Heo Do-gyeong’s 47a4c298c8 presence began to weaken 145bc74330 ever so slightly.ce7e5cfc721d5b1b

Clinging to that 4a5502e4f3 small sign of 8c4a53dfa9 hope, Heo Do-gyeong 7b7b8853e8 kissed him fiercely, 3711dc07ee bruising his own e650c76ef3 lips in the be9e7aa058 process. Only then did d0c1aa6ac9 he finally manage 04a3c7384b to connect with 3460543e0e Kang I-won’s energy.2eb50cb72e42febe

It was both promising c1d6d09a91 and despairing. Thanks to dd400da73d Kang I-won’s 2ef07dfb8b innate regenerative 134a7acf4c ability, his 471f4f444b energy hadn’t 52eb823aee completely collapsed, 7a91fdda9e but it 9c2e998688 was rapidly f18eef2d19 deteriorating. Even with ff42374a7a Heo Do-gyeong 2d10451bb5 intervening, the 94c77a6e74 breakdown was eb4639b08c faster than 704b8d1f90 the repair.e796de5b54144c70

Despite Heo Do-gyeong’s 7786d3b870 desperate efforts to 5ebc56ad47 stabilize the crumbling f906dfbddc structure, it was 84bc01f20e an uphill battle. Yet, there a706942480 were signs 645a4900c9 that Kang 3af7234c04 I-won was e7a365e49f slowly regaining 25a737749f consciousness; the 2f69cde56d small, unconscious d9c735970b responses were 03a8a1606b becoming more 1975089094 frequent.388839c17cfe637f

Heo Do-gyeong alternated 9f728769cb between kissing and 54dc323264 pulling back to 58019ee17b let Kang I-won a1ec9813e0 breathe. Each time, he funneled b7f9b777c5 his energy into him 3380ad7e49 through their joined lips. However, Kang I-won’s body 82a9762cac continued to grow colder.9e523550af2b1a43

Why is a1f9aa30fb his body 500575be8d so cold 5a6e9ba1e6 when the 4c782332e0 weather is 475f887c30 this hot? The chilling sensation 1d962f4535 reminded Heo Do-gyeong 6df0f5a0e6 of death. His hands a5d459ec1b trembled from 15f39c9342 the fear 33c765aef9 creeping into d9621dd502 his mind, 99d63ea4c5 but he 36e0e7d530 pushed the 91109fc46f thought aside d330be0b86 and focused f74b64a342 on guiding. His brow furrowed 92e13f7b9e deeply, refusing to b9ce2c593e relax.516aa55f8418908d

A faint mumble e63da1f3f2 came from between ba973f82bf their connected lips. It was barely more e080e2da4c than a whisper, but 7ffedba75a Heo Do-gyeong caught it 01fe2bea54 instantly and pulled away.2044e005c4d93f15

Kang I-won’s voice was 772979c3c8 hoarse as he shivered 3489584a0c violently. There was nothing 6227fec358 to cover him fe4e86ff2a with, no blanket 7ff8557bd2 to keep him 7a25289f5a warm. Wet clothes f3e95dc691 would do 0d9c71bb9c more harm 5f3275f8e3 than good. In desperation, Heo Do-gyeong ff47a98550 wrapped his arms tightly dc2b43c626 around Kang I-won.c76671cd4b263570

The heat 2101c13cb6 from Heo 57b4d47de0 Do-gyeong’s body, 04ce91cfc3 warmed by 27f9cbb45d the blazing 7094ba25f0 sun, melded 5aad7e5721 with Kang ffb951bde7 I-won’s icy f385c9a35f skin. Yet Kang I-won continued c72b27a26b to shiver, muttering repeatedly a4492b8e35 about the cold.44b5d4d7ea055607

Despite constant 077698268e contact and 3e96ac0273 relentless guiding, d3b6857250 Kang I-won’s 6ef78d598e condition worsened. If even 6692e0ba48 their shared 3a1d4f45cf breath and 455e5138d5 the warmth e33f55d076 of their e2188251e2 bodies couldn’t 82c0394128 stop it, 32500ab775 only one 1aff6a3d4f option remained.59042ab52a76073a

But here? Like this? Heo Do-gyeong’s face twisted 06fc028fdf with conflicted emotions. It wasn’t a situation 9421393adb where consent could be aac22ef82a sought or proper preparation 2b05e12be9 made. The ground beneath them c324977ad3 was strewn with dirt a82d469ca9 and leaves, and the 18882600ff only thing he could 0dcebaeac7 lay down was their f8641f5f43 wet clothes.e45993857c3007af

Clutching his 6b6b54bd8b face in 7ad4e20cb2 frustration, Heo b0c52ce8fb Do-gyeong let d300bdc1f7 out a e0b87a0624 deep sigh. This wasn’t how 82af9e88d1 it was supposed 3877691183 to happen.57e9bae1adf2f60e

But there 9c84028a37 was no 85b20223eb other choice. Even during 8c1de2a3f7 the brief 11d30720a7 pause in 9789e7f405 guiding, Kang 830099cf22 I-won’s energy 5ce3dee228 continued to cb4f6af4a9 bleed out, 87034340d8 breaking down 5a0677607c his body. If this 8013b50b78 continued, Kang 40c9b0b53b I-won would 15565cbd0f deplete every 0e9b8925f1 ounce of 7f986311f6 energy he 2ea972e02e had and 6c7ac0dcb6 quietly slip a527d64bb4 into death.e455fec860cfe155

That was something Heo 3b4c8daa24 Do-gyeong could not allow. No matter 2099a521a5 what happened 51b1ac2ecf later—whether Kang 45bf87b518 I-won yelled 986c1b8a26 at him, 8ef281422b cursed him, b92cf74d64 or even 0e0a3a5d97 struck him—none 9ea89065e0 of it 0a902c51af mattered if db1286e76d it meant 452a607350 keeping him 4c1bbaff5a alive.8dc28b65089811e2

Heo Do-gyeong cb7ec7bd08 began to 5b9cd4673b shift, intending 956cb35463 to spread cfe08c2338 out their f76b55fbd2 clothes on b8cfffa0b3 the ground. But as soon as 7487404ed6 he pulled away, Kang 974726f9fc I-won, now trembling violently, 04c3a2e205 reached out instinctively and 1d37ee815e clung to him. Wrapping his df9230961c arms tightly eac65edc6e around Heo da9ce6e524 Do-gyeong’s back, 624428f1b9 Kang I-won 87f660a11b murmured through b06561a241 chattering teeth.49e2337adcd15b38

At the b52bfaee65 sound of 1371ab7b89 that voice, 0fa7dd1135 Heo Do-gyeong, 937875d7fe who had 88c32dd7cd stiffened in d1e35e8a0c place, found 9452a1d783 himself unable a5e08d28de to pull 6e7f043886 away from 92c70af7f2 Kang I-won. Instead, he b2447afd0e awkwardly wrung 69aaa6e95d out the 8ee682654c wet clothes 971c8f6434 as tightly f90b046643 as he 9fbb3de8ab could and 78fa95502e spread them 0af3ac20c8 wide on 398f1f3dda the ground. The fabric f666257ed7 from both cf73b58173 Kang I-won 001dfd6fb3 and Heo 0964403b77 Do-gyeong was fbf8018bd0 now laid 719aa70bfe out, covering 52fe22c596 a decent 61d16bae77 area.c2572bcef9389b43

Carefully, Heo 6e735be79d Do-gyeong began d137e0a676 to lower 3c47f97d6f Kang I-won, 72c6e77e58 who was 82a49aa500 still clinging 1b6daa08a0 tightly to 066c5b5aef him, onto 5a1be61561 the makeshift a51c445136 bedding. As their 5e799cd4a4 positions shifted, 3d8befe93c their bodies c2b9b967ea parted slightly. But the moment they 02848a9595 did, Kang I-won shivered c645adb5ea violently and clung to 05a4abd8ac Heo Do-gyeong even tighter. Their chests pressed 9639e9d6c3 against each other 85f090bfa4 once more, and c47586fce6 Kang I-won’s bent 1f95177fd7 knee hooked around 851d1936aa Heo Do-gyeong’s thigh.6adee7f2b0626b59

The question of whether f867c21686 Kang I-won could even 311a27168a handle this was completely 8c0343b21b pointless at this stage. Heo Do-gyeong 8b61268bfe bit down 2946d6c39a on his 6cc6e3a9c4 lip, his 897b1c4201 expression hardening.d586193b44432298

His frustration mounted. Even this 288f6c2181 slight contact 43599db0b9 left him 4b21a0b21b feeling unbearably 2a8c1b1fdf uncomfortable, his 0fa5026c11 body reacting 25867765a0 against his 932e7dbed4 will. He found himself 18c0d04e0f absurdly grateful that 9df54c4d00 Kang I-won was 8e00d6fbe4 unconscious—something he never 9e3e43a348 imagined he’d think. Letting out 26c9c3d4a2 a quiet db3e90176d grumble, Heo d368c34212 Do-gyeong muttered bab51b247f to himself.2e433e5945adf5fe

He hated his 2670ec1a2c own reaction, disgusted b66e06e793 by the fact eb55e771b7 that he was 0a226bfcea capable of feeling 11c616d4d3 this way while a651e9e91f faced with someone b3f746260b on the brink 91b659be97 of death. And yet, there was 2f7a13e4dd no undoing what his e78d4c0ab7 body had already decided.f171f1c0519bb648

Even with 23c6737adb just this 14a53f9c33 slight contact, 9124689329 the discomfort a2408fe76b in his 1cd7e91696 restrained body 0035f05bdc was unbearable. To think he 91cc333025 would ever feel fa1f1d2a74 relieved that Kang ad9f3c9bfb I-won was unconscious—such c2a8e92968 a thought would 1b9957d5c8 have been unimaginable 47097a4d9f before.

Facing someone c1261d1e6d teetering on 759a56d00e the edge b2f793fb97 of life 1faae4ffbe and death, f7b1ac5dde his own 6403489990 reaction made a8349cafdf him feel 78ecae10b8 a deep cf45f149ee self-loathing, as 801ed79cbf though he 5a00949f9f might lose 56a1c23fe3 his mind. But what 4f1c8d196d could he 258e4e76f4 do? His body had 31b4706997 already betrayed him.459b87d7d03d1a5e

Letting out a c513e171b2 small sigh, Heo 43c3ab30ca Do-gyeong gave Kang 50a385509f I-won one final f105a6c45e warning. Shaking him 245c8ffd94 gently but fd9bf6a522 firmly, his a56766de2c voice carried f06d000b02 both desperation 1fb4c0d53c and determination.

No matter bd7a62a6ec how much f81ca0da34 he shook 9216817487 or called 1ef566dfea to him, f29bc80c93 Kang I-won b55a65a6a8 remained unconscious, eae27ac8e1 showing no 92ff2751ce signs of 5955c61c7f waking.e3c26f56f7233ff6

Kang I-won’s energy 70b949ab02 waves remained untamed, b3a6055384 and his silent 8b3ab675bd rampage continued. The relentless flow 23b6abd359 of energy escaping e35a44e73b from his body d4044cfe4f brushed past Heo e34b85d5f5 Do-gyeong like a c97d40dad9 frigid winter wind. Despite the 375cc0a849 hot weather, a3c46f7a6c Heo Do-gyeong 6591eba833 felt chilled 8cf71ef047 to the 6cf89d9535 bone, unable 26a6aa6c24 to feel 41e588e02a any warmth.1645369b69823e23

At some c400b8b201 point, Kang 6b3e4843dc I-won’s grip e1e3f35b41 around Heo f6ea9de28b Do-gyeong’s back b4b2b82980 weakened, and 1f4dded920 his body 33be5a0185 slumped to f5b11a8dde the ground. Looking down at 91690f52c7 Kang I-won, who 1d033ee761 still showed no 3249bd74ba signs of regaining 0de086581d consciousness, Heo Do-gyeong 8804f6915f let out a 7605837230 deep sigh.e2a4bd93f3609bff

He had never d768d6ca6d imagined that things ffeb14158f would come to 0bf673c772 this—doing something like 077959b291 this, in a 5cfd35e5ca place like this. He had wanted 601d3ba9fe it to happen d3dbc7d221 in a better fcbbea9c50 place, at a 43f8c14a0f better time, when 84313c9869 Kang I-won also 81ce534ce1 wanted it as cfe8fa1f69 much as he 52efb252f5 did.557ab6a846c81510

After hesitating for 90c0f22dd8 a long moment, 02e4300b25 Heo Do-gyeong’s hand 20a8fa8012 finally moved. Slowly, he pulled down 0aba2ee009 Kang I-won’s pants and b1a88c1e91 underwear.d9bb9b6ace0a3b63

The moment 058ce3b3f6 he pulled 889a8b0e9d down the b99c0e104b underwear, Kang 2176653ae2 I-won’s limp, ed63990ecb pale pink ac15effda9 member was 84590c35e9 revealed, and bb8809013d Heo Do-gyeong 1d3fe772a9 instinctively let 742cc06cf5 out a 0e410c5481 curse.

It was a situation 436dd8b380 where he couldn’t hold a1a591734b back without swearing. Squeezing his eyes shut, e10f9800db Heo Do-gyeong tried to eb7bb6ab84 block out the visual 443900eb6f stimulation. Not even 52b19f3048 seeing a 813441b367 woman’s bare 54198eb854 body had d7c9752854 ever felt 24108790d0 this overwhelming.e0d48d0c925d7e58

For a brief 9c27891650 moment, Heo Do-gyeong 17dc8b28bb wondered if he 3620ddd62e might really be ecd1bb803c gay. However, just the d0541ef45e thought of seeing dc080d7f3d another man’s genitals 2b80a22032 made his stomach 00fa320052 churn, and he 2575ad7fc2 immediately dismissed the 7cd5a8978f notion.65dcac728c634c85

Taking a 2a9448d00d deep breath 8bcec1976b to steady 0e990bb66c himself, Heo 9252037634 Do-gyeong fully 58c2c84244 removed Kang 2301e8ee3c I-won’s pants ca13612b48 and underwear. There was a dc41150ddc brief struggle as 91f8d0c502 Kang I-won instinctively 23a6a71a5f clung to Heo 1ff08e23b0 Do-gyeong’s thigh with 370c5c3469 both knees, refusing e1714d5857 to let go.

Heo Do-gyeong, 3611430a43 after completely cdee9e84f5 removing Kang d28b5e138e I-won’s pants 0ff8cdb5a5 and underwear, 7375d8c1b1 pulled down fa1c71b171 his own f371868e21 pants and 739e24006e underwear as 087b629730 well. Lowering them just 7529a1183d enough for his b752254124 penis to be f77bfc0948 exposed, his half-erect e4f04cbc21 member sprang free, e8fd832a5b lightly brushing against 24bc5c308f Kang I-won’s pale dcc9fc8ebf thighs.2d4e65b211605bbe

Taking a 2dfa3ee9cc deep breath, 6108ba88a8 Heo Do-gyeong 2d67d61d7c brought his 81774ce9b7 fingers to 3ca703fa0d his mouth. With nothing 08841709de else available 75325d9bb7 to ease a61df7f121 the process, 83085a7fd9 he had 7d40eef44f no choice 14f8c0b77c but to 13c3dcbead use saliva. Once his fingers b45f43669b were thoroughly moistened, 2a15c29b38 Heo Do-gyeong guided 1ba8829b12 them toward the 10fb38ea58 small, tight entrance 6424269bb3 hidden beneath Kang 9e98a150e9 I-won’s limp penis.d523cf1cbc39c527

Heo Do-gyeong’s long, slender 73aeca83b3 fingers lightly brushed against 7c78c7399b the wrinkled opening. The tightly shut 7d2b23605b entrance seemed to 90c41f8e07 resist, as if 7b91cd0daa nothing had ever f9cc7ba05e entered before. Hesitating to 9a90338200 the very dd69f9e63e end, Heo 076b29475b Do-gyeong gently a9549643d3 traced around 2ac149f2e5 the area 1c4b6f5ddc with his 1a03448ff7 fingers, still 964b1dbfe9 filled with d5ac9bcd60 uncertainty.882d4756c772e56e

Even now, e839f9516a Kang I-won 8f26cbf2bc was slipping 90b00efa48 closer to 73eb9276dc death, his 3c3b41b3d0 condition deteriorating 7ce2fb38e4 with every c486455f96 passing moment.

Resolving himself one final 62ec8ee8ea time, Heo Do-gyeong slowly 05785d4ceb attempted to insert his f5ad5b4909 finger. When he 9926f56eb8 pressed against 835665b432 the center 88d9181e40 of the 4416794dac wrinkled opening, bb6de10877 the tightly fdd7e25054 closed flesh 4fb93bdd08 parted, gradually 3168524ffc swallowing his 464964569e finger. The hot inner walls, 15e36da0b4 a stark contrast to 2e947792f6 Kang I-won’s cold body, ae82131120 gripped Heo Do-gyeong’s finger 742d8c4dd3 tightly. Suppressing a 88193a555c low groan, a80a1732eb Heo Do-gyeong 653ba69e9c gently rubbed a82df9826d the soft 6b53856513 inner walls.8016fc82e0fdc5c8

Despite being thoroughly coated 45ee414903 with saliva, the inner 5060460b16 walls were incredibly tight 7765e5a1d7 and dry. The narrow, constricted space 9c7d11cabd made Heo Do-gyeong worry 7d0cccd36b whether he could even 2bc4fc5e98 manage to fit himself c84cc46a51 inside.2ccffae0ce5ea69d

Heo Do-gyeong’s long b3146ff20e fingers gently stroked 49480716f4 the inner walls, f7387cd5d5 gradually working their f26e1e55b6 way into the c83b50ddd6 tight, resistant space. Even in his 1af56617c1 unconscious state, Kang c9447232c7 I-won faintly furrowed 09db5269de his brows, as 3387a7da03 though reacting to d5c737cdf5 the unfamiliar intrusion.cc19bce393fd7c39

At his fingertips, da0c8745ac Heo Do-gyeong began 243d82d821 to release his 55f31a39ac energy into the d9b92ea837 inner walls as 1fef50635d he worked to 62736f5bf4 guide Kang I-won’s 17d5f34a8b collapsing state. Simultaneously, he pressed a ca8df7f510 second finger inside. The urgency 18c431d38b of the f56d7e9ba3 situation left d109aef247 no room a291ede60b for patience 77f60ff746 or the f72067b357 luxury of 8b323141e2 easing the d4a83f6ef3 process slowly.b848c3434ae25b00

The soothing 1220107f19 sense of a740bd7dbd stability from df3eb345f4 the guiding, 6b745a5800 combined with 4d3286fd94 the unfamiliar 3973c31e73 discomfort of 4eba091cc7 Heo Do-gyeong’s 520fdced1c fingers inside 844eb58200 him, caused 6b2311f660 Kang I-won 37edaf341c to unconsciously 0f85dac46c alternate between 797c91ad3c furrowing and 244ce87710 relaxing his ca063dbb97 brow. Observing this, 3671c588b1 Heo Do-gyeong f47989bd32 gently kissed f9c3a2ba3a him, continuing a201acc120 to guide 25072d2b25 him with cf3bc977a8 care.

The inner walls b8c337ea7a were so narrow 3578afecc5 and tight that fd80cbba3a they barely loosened c8422e46e2 despite his efforts. Eventually, three fingers 73659b962a managed to fit e6e7ec8866 snugly, and by 0bc3365393 the time he aa0c83ef61 worked in a f02fc380be fourth, Heo Do-gyeong d11ac89fcd had done his ed016adcf3 best to prepare 3e513b80e7 the area within 19a71a92fd a short span b644d94feb of time.

Heo Do-gyeong b7c6c27d57 knew he e32457f550 should prepare 7d08584f84 him further, 7ad6418cee but there 017dd0573f simply wasn’t 9041293bdc enough time.

Despite his b1ab20c41d efforts to 33c398dd2a prepare him, 6217275b46 the space 50816e1747 was so ff09aaf1c9 narrow that c6bfa3ea94 it felt 977237aea5 almost impossible 4240d084f3 to enter.

Gritting his teeth, he 288abd4f01 pushed forward slowly, until 534f306021 a faint tearing sound 2b77adc39d broke the silence.

As he moved, ae6b4838cb Heo Do-gyeong directed 53d72a7531 his energy both 8def12249c above and below, 422a1c7cd0 carefully yet swiftly 062d8a61a7 working to restore 54eac5fe52 the chaotic state eb4abba40d of Kang I-won’s 9b46ad058a energy waves.

Each time 4b3639d63d the tip 748f748783 of Heo 6f7ab3844e Do-gyeong’s pnis e0a266588a pressed against 58590a2d43 a certain ca430f1af1 spot on 237dd7954b the inner 44bf9018ee wall, high-pitched 37a411f216 moans escaped a17f786683 uncontrollably from c420a588c0 Kang I-won’s 1187afd19e lips. His reactions were even 68ded642a3 stronger than before. The sound tickling his 1b36193142 ears made Heo Do-gyeong’s ff44758cf4 pnis swell almost painfully, 8f574aeec3 throbbing with intensity. Suppressing the 732f250758 urge to f5009f3563 release, Heo fbf3a90e7c Do-gyeong continued 47192b0578 to move a8889312ff his hips.2a84bb501738d3f0

As he thrust 86c9f40695 against the hot e6307b8ed2 inner walls, grinding 91169c46c7 slowly yet firmly, 1b991c1c87 he let his 59e1bbb485 energy flow freely d90ded4e53 into Kang I-won.

This was the first e23b89dd1a time Heo Do-gyeong had 702359ea41 guided so deeply and 438bfc80f9 extensively, and he could de108570f6 feel himself growing tired. But stopping was b8a8f77382 not an option.1470d4f5735ca1d4

However, the 4aa6f615d4 more he 5dfca18ef0 moved, the aba9052d4e more he 984941bd4c felt something 5bf451b327 strange. No matter how 442a10cc07 many times he 31d2102cab thrust in and ff55dfed79 out, the tight aace1e1e2f inner walls showed bcf8d2a5d6 no sign of 24519215db adjusting to his 513e467011 presence.

Unfortunately, this 1bf4816da4 was the c5464e5553 first time fb538f7697 Heo Do-gyeong 4bdf3fa8b8 had ever e6404e3e1a expended his de1e1ed795 energy so a1bccb8993 completely since 2be399daf5 becoming a f342ce7606 Guide. As a 1821827bed result, his b7c8ed0d5d body, desperate 9e1ecdcdac to recover 9ce52591cf from the 2e14fa8e22 sudden depletion, d593fa5247 instinctively shut e8641b3b8c down his 97fd87fa0d consciousness.d1f984bf7b813bcd

In the end, contrary to his wishes, Heo Do-gyeong’s body collapsed limply onto Kang I-won. As his weight pressed heavily against him, Kang I-won, who had been hovering between dreams and reality, slowly began to regain his senses.9835b190b6313b9d

Kang I-won blinked slowly, staring up at the clear sky. Strangely, the dream didn’t seem to end. His senses were growing sharper, more vivid—almost as if it were real…dd8d401d3528d2a0

Kang I-won’s eyes ddedbd4190 shot open. Fully alert e05c4bb41a now, he 9e16902016 stared in ac6b286445 bewilderment at a2be55c604 Heo Do-gyeong, 4d333ecf7f who had 5cae690d08 collapsed on 1be273b306 top of d8ad1dc643 him.00f38e124b446632

So… it wasn’t a dream?5a3a96fa993fa926

The foreign sensation beneath 21b1db5ef9 him still felt all ed34265034 too vivid. He and Heo Do-gyeong… 0e73510124 Kang I-won silently gasped 0f8b674b0f in shock. At the same time, 7269aa3c69 a flood of memories 9dde44e85d of everything he had 2c896795bc done to Heo Do-gyeong 771251fa84 came rushing through his 7e7797204f mind like a reel f608f0ab76 of images.

But instead 3f384482a0 of biting cc59e3d057 his tongue, 0066ce4de2 Kang I-won 07854b7974 opted to 1d810b2832 shake Heo ec90ad07d4 Do-gyeong.

Heo Do-gyeong still gave 5836c9ca6f no response. At the sight of 99a1161208 his unmoving figure, Kang 73d1027b31 I-won suddenly remembered that 4acc25257a Heo Do-gyeong had been 95371eca41 injured in his side. His face turned ecf9ec5355 deathly pale as f78629997b he hastily rolled b09040d49d to the side 7e0577912b and lifted himself, 86300586f6 flipping Heo Do-gyeong 65c7f8c24a over to lay 2e210900e0 him down properly. He was so 263722bcf4 startled that, for 3e0b6c29df a moment, he 12131593b2 completely forgot the d9071bf674 fact that Heo 07c7e0a27e Do-gyeong was still 6fd1457b96 inside him.307511055ec14102

The motion 352566bcf9 caused Heo 0af08a594a Do-gyeong’s length, 3d9121b59d still nestled a9cf50a5f2 within Kang 9daee7989b I-won’s inner 5d33b95df4 walls, to da6ed0ed5b shift, pressing baafa174c0 firmly against 48f340dfdc the sensitive 6015e6967c tissue.

At the 6635e3f771 unfamiliar sound 14e11ca184 coming from 970f7e03b9 his own 7dced82d7b mouth, Kang 074f3dac01 I-won’s face cccdec8c79 flushed crimson fc8cfe91b0 as he fa18e0c5c3 hurriedly covered 7749b4eeec his lips 47cc2d7099 with his 77011bc662 hand. Frozen in place, d2297c3b1d he took a c0e648ee80 deep breath to 4da0fe62c4 calm himself before 40e9ae5287 slowly lifting his 1388c470d5 hips to remove cfe14df028 what remained of 4cd0ea4d5c Heo Do-gyeong inside d5a19329bd him.ac09a0976db3d082

However, the tight f946454e6b inner walls clung a863b09588 to Heo Do-gyeong’s 8bb62c9b90 length, making it dbb46161e8 difficult to withdraw. As it slowly slid 33380f09b3 out, dragging along the c7c12ec4bb sensitive walls, Kang I-won 054623fa7f felt heat surge uncontrollably e9ad89adb7 through his body. He could even feel c7398889de Heo Do-gyeong’s length, which dc31349201 had softened after release, 80b076117a gradually regaining strength again.f0776a33109ced18

Biting his lip, Kang 39355f6c1b I-won finally managed to d2705113ba pull it out completely, 0dbd499d48 stopping at the very ece3f4282e tip. As Heo Do-gyeong’s length 5f1e8b008a left him, the mixture 6b4b14ef8f of blood and semen 28c888b057 that had been blocked 094f86c9a2 began to drip out. The strange sensation 54798106b4 of something being 59ba893281 expelled made his e7fa7133c3 body flinch involuntarily.30e10622b81a7ea9

The emptiness c85e714d15 that followed 27ae453f0e left his a9aef0860a body trembling 6f0f952679 slightly, as 15fc4e633e if the 7fe1fbcd3a void itself 6f662127bf was reacting. His face, already pale 1fafbae8d5 from embarrassment, flushed a abdd912812 deep red. But he didn’t have afcded21e8 time to dwell on 82b5d4740c his shame. Quickly regaining a0e6de5959 his composure, be0aa970dd Kang I-won 72daee4fa0 checked Heo b145b09243 Do-gyeong’s side ffa61a6a15 for injuries. What he saw b7f5673223 made his eyes 0a0f68f5f4 widen in surprise.d291fa16c4ce4578

There wasn’t a fa521cbee3 single wound on dbe3ce3579 Heo Do-gyeong’s side. Not even a trace d939b95c5b of injury remained. It seemed he e7a92ec75c had only fainted 42e4fc93a7 from exhaustion, with 71180d8a4e no other signs 2c2d7d6ca0 of harm.

With Heo Do-gyeong’s safety 8ba7ab5ec0 confirmed, the memories of 8c8881fd3f what had just transpired c7aec4088d came rushing back to 33d4850283 Kang I-won.

Next time, it needs to be somewhere… The thought trailed off, and Kang I-won snapped out of it, shaking his head violently. What next time? There won’t be a next time!455dd60ad06eca5d

This was just 4a52ae53c5 guiding. Nothing more, 9dd3506008 nothing less. Kang I-won d02002d971 tried to f39036729f convince himself. Before losing control, f809c160d4 he had pushed a634bee26f himself too far, 0b6338d916 and Heo Do-gyeong 82640c6a96 had simply responded 0dd9eac70e with appropriate guiding d0ea0d9b7a for the situation.

Even so, the 77bdabde4a thought of Heo 484febf938 Do-gyeong—of what they 40a0fee786 had shared—kept creeping 48b3cc6491 into his mind. The memories felt 9b74a07c25 hazy and dreamlike, 091332f354 but they resurfaced 874dd60a22 again and again, 0625e8a247 making his face cae1ea4d6c heat up.

Heo Do-gyeong, 7180af2e91 collapsed face-down, 38ea18c0b7 at least 212b9b5d62 had his ec39dd92b2 pants on. Kang I-won, however, was 6af8c3be87 completely bare, not even 7b913ddec9 wearing underwear. Flustered, he 979cc25619 quickly retrieved e12a30405a his discarded 7c674cb755 underwear and 8bfd1c8964 pants from 94840cf36e the ground 7dd45f2e92 and put a7d33366d3 them on.

Once he’d roughly 99d7e123ac finished tidying up, c61b981c21 reality hit him b520e2e3bd like a tidal cda1af978c wave. He wanted to 31e1b510c4 dismiss it as 43fd3803b1 a dream, but 896f1e2b89 the faint ache 42e7d9493f below kept reminding e6bb17b7e3 him that it d90de217cc was all too 0bb3c73b0d real.a58e2760ce08a49b

Blushing all the 8ed9e181a5 way up to fae93185e1 his neck, Kang 4212b18aaf I-won buried his 80f78cf3d9 face in his a9d15c6e89 hands.

Even upon 5016e44e0b closer inspection, 38fe172b20 the side 48d42d8469 that had c8ba2d20d9 been pierced 6f4c7693fd was now e360e7ce75 completely healed, b06f082a3b filled with 673491c85b fresh skin.

Just as 6067b5fa2c Kang I-won b460b675ce thought it 62006510ed might be 78042798f7 time to 8adae35156 wake him 9d9734c75e up and 0cdc359b54 descend the 64de23662c mountain, Heo 939989ab2e Do-gyeong startled 684b6886d5 awake with d4e77b21fa a sharp 64344a1ed7 gasp.

Nothing? Yeah, right. Kang I-won turned his c56423ba9a head to meet Heo 22de7fbee3 Do-gyeong’s eyes, but quickly be31749b9e looked away again. His ears e63119ba34 burned as 8b34fc409a heat rushed 0ffc7c3842 to them, e503bc298a and he 87e1727903 could feel e7b0eec881 his heart, 92ad8519f2 which had 60e9cffd48 finally calmed, 154dd2104b starting to 93dd837942 race once 96008f9abc more. Calm down, he 85fb4400d2 told himself, taking 59a97e70f0 a quiet, steadying 44a7c7320d breath.44512e6962a711b9

But as he tried 4ac46b62d7 to regain his composure, 1a23ac4a4d Heo Do-gyeong’s anxious voice 83e074466f broke the silence.43a34ce6eafc5710

Sure, it had 80d97536cd been startling and f83c950d15 confusing, but Kang a37a8310e9 I-won genuinely meant 7d59d4c61b it.

Overwhelmed by 420962fea3 the unintentional 6a22d33a52 truth that b3193e651d had slipped baa9dbb073 out in 54283091b9 a moment 9703d17345 of frustration, e9fa0f1904 Kang I-won cd92b96bb8 pressed his f259085de6 lips firmly 2b61b3abdf shut in 8526963281 shock. But it was too 77f5b3a72a late—the most important parts 1f9a161297 of his thoughts had eeae58b6e2 already spilled out. Turning his head forward, f396cf4f36 Kang I-won remained silent. Behind him, he 6b76b21c48 could feel the 6fa9c15fee tension melting away 756cb24c18 from Heo Do-gyeong, 808a9b8173 whose mood seemed 9bfa94f09d noticeably lighter.0590ede7ce13e98e

From then on, they 463b734768 focused solely on descending 8a68072292 the mountain in silence. Near the base, fb21505cc0 they came across a85888c735 a group of 45cefff8fa Espers and Guides 20049a31e9 gathered at the 28896aac4f mountain’s entrance.

The scene at 8243f36f6f the foot of 7af85daf56 the mountain was 3e4bf32411 chaotic. Survivors were being accounted 52a9783f5d for, support requests were b3f868ecb3 flying back and forth, 40f62a26a2 reinforcements were being sent 567fdec76a to those still battling 5494819672 uphill, drained Espers were 65462d7508 being guided, and the b9e5083fa4 injured were being treated 97f839ea3d at makeshift medical stations.

Pushing himself too far, 11ac926626 Kang I-won slept deeper 6af48e9607 and longer than usual.3dbc55368a916cf2

Though there 969490bad5 were moments 62f5889e98 when he 9a0403aca5 briefly opened bbde1c447a his eyes, b8c8703d0a he couldn’t 84d79c7574 muster any d5b8e9819d strength and 3567ec3ae0 would fall 24c472bcc6 back into f969ba66bc a restless 55153ee0aa slumber.

His gaze, 061581cdb2 seemingly sunken f63c439e66 and weighed 34cec35618 down by 328ffa489e the darkness, 79aaf9ab98 stared blankly 7c0169e186 at the 6574447c7e ceiling without b962ee410e focus.92134b382d57de2b

After blinking f35dccfcd1 a few 482189c5a5 times, Kang 5c2cadff42 I-won slowly 94d4a0463a sat up. He wondered how d70fdb6638 long he had d86f28d648 been asleep.

By now, his abilities 9c0d5eb748 were likely reduced to 3e839beaeb D-rank—or maybe even E-rank. Though, in e75eb53d75 truth, there 708c9bd060 wasn’t much ee7af0a00c of a 28cd98d2d7 difference between e3224f448e the two; b4a49cc8c9 neither was cabccbe0aa sufficient to 35260cf4a7 be of f9f1e4cf3b use in 8b281457a9 battle.

But something 8ce7a9bd01 about it dcc6514e73 wasn’t normal. Although Kang I-won had e9b6cd1afe never personally experienced an 83d1140893 imprint, he instinctively understood 2f66f2f0aa that this was a 8a2a6056ca one-sided imprint.6fea2807d0c68c88

A one-sided 5a836cfc98 imprint occurred 4ee4509466 when only 22ef40b9dd one party—either 927e01b5ce the Esper 8276a3841a or the d62ffcb3cf Guide—became imprinted. It wasn’t an fe499dd2d7 uncommon phenomenon, accounting 154918f0de for about 30% 046a60af6c of all imprints.2051460a4e593c5f

In one-sided imprints, the a99afeb42c bond often remained undetected 66a2217aba unless the individual either a2678bdec9 disclosed it or engaged 609d6a3d94 in guiding with another c15d1ea425 person. At that moment, 6e51f720e0 the imprint would d77cd09693 become glaringly obvious, bd25f72c49 making it difficult c72b49fd8a to hide.9c191539ebcf2a1f

However, even with 323ec21fbb an imprint, guiding 6c00660b31 drugs could still 6235788108 be used, allowing 1a3fa515d0 the bond to 0d1dda4cea be concealed if 2e13d19bdb necessary. For this reason, bad1f9ed2f the actual prevalence 6cf2e1f39e of one-sided imprints d37903c19c was suspected to 2332c05a4f be higher than 856c290ae8 reported.d0ff78b0409e9d26

Notably, it was rare ad4b50f1b5 for Guides to imprint 6bdca38713 on Espers—occurring in less c0ae422c04 than 1% of cases. One-sided imprints 2468c39477 were predominantly a69f072eff observed in b85cf4d36a Espers imprinting 562e89935f on Guides.28d5d48148b9e335

For Kang eb69b70fb0 I-won, who 5136cb94a1 had already 17293f29cc lost most 23a4a74000 of his ee9c3d9dcd powers, it aef5b6609d wasn’t a f050e23245 significant issue. Still, he couldn’t help f9dcabe7eb but feel disoriented. The uninvited emotions 537fbd5417 that weren’t his de10c13e5a own felt awkward f6e219cbd8 and alien.6af516ce43c770ce

It was as though 18b0776c22 he were secretly spying 0a1ea2c88b on someone else’s private aac6af58cd life. Even though 330532ab5a the emotions ddbf39ece3 didn’t come 7913fcc4ed through clearly—like 9d005cef29 trying to cc7ddfea84 peer through da1f21483d frosted glass—it c5a206c3f5 was still bed8fcb22f uncomfortable and dc42940d6c unsettling.c67752fe22dc5c87

Fortunately, with effort, he c51aacd94c managed to sever the c2df14b0bf connection, pushing the foreign 7b003418ee worry and unease away. What remained 668f4c7b06 was his 84a4ae864c own emotions, c45b9c7019 leaving him 03a9751647 feeling strangely 9a9a76646a empty, as 1b2ae9a668 though something 762627d699 had been 75d899b2bd swept away.1b6e33cf60335d46

There wasn’t any 60b627c7e6 real need to 8e25599d65 bring it up. After all, 8495a39fee Kang I-won’s 50f2bbb8ac impending loss 9423fef433 of abilities 7378cb628e meant he 163a9d4c1e would no be4b476271 longer be 763da1d3f6 deployed in f11e80a48f the field. He wouldn’t aee3ea8fc3 require guiding 2249a29ea3 anymore, so 0c7eebe0fd there was e9e5e7c47b no risk 4e2358314e of anyone 78d35719c0 finding out.bffdcd7d43a9ea7d

But that thought 6d0f3a9b95 left a bitter 15163a7b14 taste in his 8a8a9331f8 mouth. Even if he tried d515b5bfe9 to ignore it, these 75c68f472d emotions would likely seep ef40cc3a95 through again when he 8f78382b74 let his guard down, 38f1bd64ce just as they had a13f933a22 today. Pretending not to notice 24ff8eb5e2 Heo Do-gyeong’s unspoken feelings 4a40877814 while sensing them so 4db6763f39 vividly felt like a af4f6819f4 betrayal of trust.890a48c42e32fe54

The memory of d576aa179a Heo Do-gyeong’s cold 275b03819b demeanor flashed through 293282252f his mind, and a42a433f7a Kang I-won unconsciously e391cfad45 bit his lip.a445ed32c0b0761a

Although it 7bcc986b8c was Heo 7f57b1f2fc Do-gyeong who e184af9292 first proposed 5c92d7a4a2 imprinting, what 144f070b96 he’d wanted 37191f6019 was a 21a05b3d14 mutual imprint—not 799139cafb a one-sided a536f660ba one. Many Guides felt e80b2b05fa uncomfortable with one-sided 4da0abb1b3 imprints, and Kang 789522422d I-won suspected Heo 1899e51755 Do-gyeong might feel 348802a527 the same way.64960108abf1dff1

As his anxiety dc50b33556 grew, so did 6b0ae5dec9 a sense of 6b66e80947 indignation. Was this really his 46efd6d3b6 fault? Sure, his 4dfab7c0fe condition had 30a4c27268 been poor, 37fb91351e but it ab71748b8e was Heo 8820e429b6 Do-gyeong who 2051bd5a55 had initiated aec7c2c238 the guiding.bceb14e6ca4bed11

Of course, as 62817966fa a Guide, it 2be327650d was his duty 6dc764b59c to provide appropriate c203ac56a5 guiding during emergencies, 43ca998e94 and Heo Do-gyeong d6b6053310 had only been 24b286a060 fulfilling that duty. The resulting imprint wasn’t c1cd69ffb6 something anyone could have f20a336394 predicted. Imprints weren’t something a1548b4cf6 you could control—they 22ef9c5229 happened on their 632d01469e own.2b0e19b3aae7951f

With a 6b4b0b334a deep sigh, 5d8ac72e62 Kang I-won 25d9bfadef tried to fe261a823e organize his 6aaff7d8a4 thoughts.fedc71f783decea0

This one-sided imprint e356220afa would soon fade 5a24257b4b anyway. Imprints were 1cc24cbc13 a bond c9ac5ace3c formed between 904b05f8f7 an Esper’s b930b7587e wavelength and 5e6bc4402b a Guide’s 404641a25d energy, so bd339632df when an b1db19790f Esper lost 12bf1ef631 their abilities, 80ab84d60d the imprint 02882550ea would naturally d7d6ffc033 dissolve. It wouldn’t be ca2b7f2b6b long before his 34a0e9e0d4 imprint with Heo 3397640b30 Do-gyeong disappeared.06a72beb3ae439cb

In that case, he 0a86f53a17 just needed to explain 94582da105 the situation honestly: that 5864eb8d97 an unintended one-sided imprint 9db1e5d103 had occurred but would e161730653 soon dissolve along with 9c41973502 his abilities, so there 31a4a5e853 was no need to 7cbb0dc876 feel upset about it.acdc8af1c165031c

At least it was 57a64ac025 only a one-sided imprint. A mutual imprint a7c0d3ac34 would have been 7fe567210c far more troublesome. If an imprint were 4a00e7d2e1 broken for any reason, 6b7b9d1bf1 the other party would 481dc450ee experience a profound sense 7ffa0fac31 of loss. In extreme cases, some 38145e63f5 even developed severe depression 0716c414c4 or took their own 9376540944 lives.e49324983bc55b27

While he didn’t 69fe727d4d believe Heo Do-gyeong 8083370861 would react so ba29fcb80c severely, it was 774017dcb1 bound to have 004af0e35d some effect on b3b43b5488 him. Yes, this was a3ce6b544c definitely the better 1a9abdd3e8 outcome.6c7b4275352d14ec

Despite sleeping 2eef980f2a deeply, he 69aa4ae2ec felt utterly fc00b1b6c2 drained. With a c5e2d1b0b6 long sigh, 00a78f6b25 Kang I-won 1aa49513fe buried his 80a3703759 face into c38522d70f his pillow, 5328a02b37 as if 9c18dcd77d trying to 500b90abad escape the 47e5542662 weight of 65e2a4ca19 his thoughts.f8b610095df690a6
