When Tae Ijae firmly denied the suggestion of dating anyone, it became clear that his claim of not wanting to be in a relationship with anyone wasn’t a lie. Kang Junwoo felt his fingertips tremble and instinctively clenched his fists tightly.5dd713dbe722b3ea

Ban Jiho, with an excited expression, turned off the video beam and put it back into his pocket, then asked, “Now you understand, right?”4970c2a6cf9ad2ad

Instead of answering, Kang Junwoo stared intently at Ban Jiho. He couldn’t comprehend why this person would go so far as to record and bring this to him. Was Ban Jiho that fond of Tae Ijae? But if he liked him that much, wouldn’t he want to keep himself—the only one who could guide Tae Ijae—close to him?2fd6db06b36b2a85

It wasn’t love but a desire for possession. Or perhaps a need for exclusivity. That’s all Kang Junwoo could see in Ban Jiho. It was somewhat pitiful in its own way.85f9e6e7f1b590d3

Yet, the one who should 71ec7852af feel pitiful was himself, and 187d749f77 it was laughable that he a68aafba60 was worrying about someone else ce478fdc7b when he had his own 95d64ef12c problems to deal with.b286244304df7218

Kang Junwoo recalled the f75bc35855 past few days when 2583b5a93d he had spent time b025fd0cb6 with Tae Ijae as 7b10f9d250 if they were lovers, 7533714bce and a bitter smile 5635e58cb0 crept onto his lips. Lovers? What kind of 44beb29f95 delusion had he ce6d845c84 been living in?85a4a581fde5c765

“Why are you laughing?” Ban Jiho crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, seemingly irritated by Kang Junwoo’s bitter smile.cf3841ebf22e2625

Ban Jiho was a10dd81c1f left speechless, his ea503f5934 mouth agape in d939a4d8c3 disbelief. Kang Junwoo, trying to 81ba83d7c9 maintain his composure, spoke e9e2934cb5 to Ban Jiho.b04d596e83004b87

“Aren’t you going to stop being paired with Ijae, or pack his things and kick him out? Shouldn’t there be something like that?”89a4cb71588c13f4

Ban Jiho pouted as if questioning whether he had gone through the trouble of gathering evidence just to receive a simple thank you, which made Kang Junwoo laugh again. He couldn’t understand why he kept laughing in such a dire situation.8fd9ab756072f30b

Since he couldn’t even understand himself, he couldn’t be offended by Ban Jiho’s gaze, which looked at him as if he were crazy. He was tired.d777e55b5c7d594b

He was exhausted from having to endure Tae Ijae’s overwhelming presence until dawn and also from being blindsided by Tae Ijae like this. In the end, Tae Ijae had only acted for his own benefit.e449b29312b06c00

He had likely explored his body out of curiosity about sex after the third stage of guiding and losing his virginity, and before that, he had approached him to obtain the Siren’s Tears. It was his own mistake to confuse that with love, so there was no reason or need to blame Tae Ijae. He could simply wash his hands of it.aee8685b383d4dbf

From the start, he had no intention of dating an Esper after a failed imprinting attempt, and he was only drawn to Tae Ijae because it seemed like Tae Ijae liked him. Now that he knew it wasn’t true, he wouldn’t foolishly be led around.d388e04f342ec849

Kang Junwoo prided himself on being good at ending relationships. Therefore, he would certainly handle the end of his relationship with Tae Ijae cleanly as well. The only thing that bothered him slightly was that he was the only one who could guide Tae Ijae, who couldn’t receive guidance due to past bloodline imprint issues. But if he thought of it as work, he could endure it.0dcd65fec15bdd50

He wasn’t the type to coldly reject an Esper who needed him, so whether Tae Ijae had made a bet with him or deliberately seduced him, he didn’t feel like he wouldn’t provide guidance. He just felt a bit embarrassed about having been happy in his own delusion, but there were no particularly bad feelings beyond that.9a68384a25cf5900

As Kang Junwoo was thinking this, Ban Jiho asked again, “So what are you going to do?”72d1705ccbcf8bd4

“But as for the guiding… hmm, I’m not sure.” Kang Junwoo’s next words made Ban Jiho’s face twist as if he had bitten into something bitter.4a28ad11051e0ee4

“So, I’ll do whatever it takes to guide our Ijae, so you don’t have to worry about his guidance and just go your own way,” Ban Jiho said with a particularly bright expression that seemed to ask, “Do you understand?”34348e749a06aba3

His personality seemed as lively as his pretty face, and Kang Junwoo couldn’t help but smile. It was truly a curious thing. This person had come to separate him from Tae Ijae, yet he didn’t find him annoying. Of course, he wasn’t grateful either, but he felt a dizzying sensation at the thought that if it weren’t for Ban Jiho, he might have lived in delusion until Tae Ijae turned his back on him.1dac86f990e47945

Living a life where he mistakenly believed someone who didn’t love him actually did was not a life he wanted or wished to experience. Perhaps breaking the illusion here was a gift from the gods.a6f88eaf6fecdcdf

“Well, since it seems like our conversation is over, I’ll be going now.”7e87ae4d52941d0e

“It’s not a matter of staying away or not.”4e016f992b5bc408

“What do you mean by that?” Ban Jiho asked with a sharp expression, and Kang Junwoo replied calmly.d8f79c28f5c9009f

“I’m a Guide affiliated with the Center, and I have a duty to provide guidance to those who need it. If Tae Ijae the Esper can’t receive guidance from other Guides as he has until now, I’m talking about the part where I have no choice but to step in.”1fb59e931a862f37

“It’s a separate issue from pride. It’s a matter of an Esper’s life.”234efbbe90034d93

With those final words, Kang Junwoo turned and left. Ban Jiho stared intently at Kang Junwoo’s retreating figure. He disliked that Kang Junwoo was an S-class Guide, but he also disliked that he himself was only A-class. The thought that if he were S-class, he might not have lost Tae Ijae’s guidance to Kang Junwoo made his insides churn.063f490581d01f45

Naturally, the closer the grades, f8ce3892de the higher the matching rate, b5e3efda7d so the 98% matching rate b18e450e44 was undoubtedly influenced by the a36d3bf93a close grades of SS-class and 531cfa016e S-class. Ban Jiho bit his lower 2fce1934b7 lip, seriously contemplating whether there dcb04d8012 was something like a grade-boosting 6b9aabd5e5 potion.a17c135d5af772b0

After parting ways with Ban Jiho, Kang Junwoo walked alone for a while to clear his head. His phone rang twice, but he didn’t answer. He didn’t care who the caller was. He was too busy reflecting on his current situation, the misunderstandings he had been harboring, and Tae Ijae’s actions that had led him to those misunderstandings. Eventually, he turned off his phone and began to walk aimlessly.4f54c87aeecf1bc2

Kang Junwoo had thought that Tae Ijae genuinely liked him. “He said he did.” But what he meant was not that he liked him, but that he could pretend to like him. Or rather, that he could act as if he liked him. A low chuckle escaped Kang Junwoo’s lips. It was dizzying to realize what a misconception he had been under.fd179d23452fdd06

He ran his hand through his wind-tousled hair and looked up at the sky. After being released from his previous assignment, he had made a firm resolution. He had vowed not to get romantically involved with any Esper. He didn’t know where that resolution had disappeared, but it seemed he was now paying dearly for the mistake of forgetting it.8e1d42c05d3a48ad

Yes, it was strange from the beginning. Among all the Guides, he should have been suspicious when Tae Ijae specifically sought him out. Even if he hadn’t been suspicious then, he should have questioned it when the renowned Tae Ijae showed an abnormal interest in him.8b4aa43ada9bcaad

Because he had become complacent due to the nickname “Iron Wall Ice Prince” and the daily routine of many Espers half-jokingly, half-seriously trying to woo him, Kang Junwoo hadn’t been suspicious of Tae Ijae. It was all his own fault. Therefore, there was no need to blame Tae Ijae or confront him about it. Kang Junwoo walked aimlessly for a long time, pondering what he should do next.decd66ad894b5a94

Crash!74873176f1c7aaf7

The second cup had already shattered. Tae Ijae cursed as he looked down at the broken pieces. The voice of a woman on the phone kept repeating that the power was off. Kang Junwoo, who had said he would meet someone briefly and then head straight home, had turned off his phone and hadn’t been in contact since. Meanwhile, the cup he had taken out to drink water kept slipping from his hand and falling to the floor. After just cleaning up the broken glass and picking it up again, it slipped once more, causing his temper to flare quickly.22c019a6f7531913

Habi came trotting over at the sound of the broken glass, and Tae Ijae waved his hand to shoo him away as he bent down. “Go away, Habi.” He picked up the large pieces of broken glass and threw them into the trash can, using his light attribute to make the smaller shards disappear.0297fe6f09e5c8b0

Once the floor was clean again, Tae Ijae reached up to the top of the sink to take out another glass. However, thinking that he might end up breaking all of Kang Junwoo’s household items, he decided against it. Instead, he grabbed a paper cup from beside the dining table and opened the lid of a drink sitting on the table.ae1996237eb52718

After pouring himself a drink and taking a sip, he looked at his phone. Since he had marked Kang Junwoo, he could teleport to him at any time, but it wasn’t polite to appear in front of someone like that unless it was an emergency, so he restrained himself. However, he couldn’t help but feel anxious because of his sister’s situation.28ec82c62c93d237

Tae Ijae resolved 5d46440735 that when Kang 4031846e28 Junwoo returned, he 8ca79389af would make sure 38d73d7939 to get a cd837ad81a promise from him 4342afdbcd never to turn 44d51f9ddc off his phone 7601f4dcec again.c1b310b684d4cda7
