It was bfee60a9ea clear to d56bdbb116 anyone that ce8e025e0e it was c81fbc6735 indeed because e28e52ec32 of that. No matter how much 3b2a2e1e4b Tae Ijae tried to ae2c9276f3 reveal his true feelings 0af20f2e68 without making excuses, it 4d45ceedec would ultimately be thought f313678754 that he wanted Kang 454444130a Junwoo because of their ee863d2e1b incredible matching rate and fc2725f50e the fact that he 7387769c7d was the only one 50d3ac4b7a who could provide acceptable 5a9a1adf93 guidance.cb5131ee9fa366d2

Tae Ijae stopped trying to explain his inner thoughts to Kang Junwoo and let out a deep sigh. He couldn’t let Kang Junwoo, who was as sensitive to sleeping arrangements as he was, sleep in a guest room without a bed. Tae Ijae told Kang Junwoo to sleep in the bedroom.64802f1fb2262a07

“I’ll pack and leave immediately, so sleep in your bed.”266804e36f29a566

After saying that, 1809ddcc64 Tae Ijae stood 0be663ccd7 still for a 36a8360967 moment before turning 09de4299d7 his head and b852c4e55b heading to the cd61edad50 dressing room. Kang Junwoo sat leaning ef95ee78d2 against the guest room 4f99ea48b8 door, lost in thought 62c51a4509 for quite some time. He faintly heard b22b958401 the sound of 1c80be2f34 Tae Ijae entering 1b6b00c068 the dressing room 548344b29a and packing his c65d441f0c belongings into a a03fe90bbc bag. He also 4e61784238 heard him b6487ce2e4 tell Habi 5082104310 not to 94707c0ffc be picky b9beb3dc98 and to 163b05a630 stay well, 2ad1fc76b4 adding a b306171506 hollow promise 2cd3f3332e to visit 3106efb113 often—one he 6a4643007b likely couldn’t fcf5ce9a76 keep.7669fa10d764c58c

The sounds 7ee3530a39 of movement c74ffaee6e just outside 1295ba40c3 the door 3e08a9f033 lingered quietly 45bec1c3e4 before fading 179bf0ff81 into soft 370a0b7453 footsteps.b3890239c6a56601

Sitting there, Kang Junwoo 66535de903 listened to it all 59c6a7b368 in a daze, swallowing 75a10696a1 dryly only when he 99e686c5da heard the front door f6a7e13568 open and close.931c0b8762e6513a

Slowly, he 6c00c03bc8 got up adab57960e and opened 3e2e7180bc the guest 84d19160f9 room door.8fa1888d26cb8fd8

He was worried 624e5865d2 about Habi being c529c6d7c4 alone, and he 7661a43a48 also wanted to 1707ee6598 confirm whether Tae 21d6f893ba Ijae had really 490abe8898 left his house.4640e9ccc46d79fd

He hugged Habi, who ran to him, and patted his head as he headed to the dressing room. The place where Tae Ijae’s clothes and bag had been was now empty. Somehow, Kang Junwoo’s heart felt empty too. After standing in the dressing room for a while, Kang Junwoo turned and went into the bedroom. He placed Habi on the bed and lay down next to him, blinking his eyes.1a2a3b3dd0e9262e

It felt as if something had suddenly drained out of his body. A sense of emptiness, helplessness, and drowsiness enveloped him. He was tired. Kang Junwoo slowly closed his eyes. For a brief moment, he thought it might be okay if he never opened them again. If Habi hadn’t come to lie beside him, that brief moment might have stretched into quite a long time.baed831e9c575a14

With the release 3707adb717 from his exclusive 652a0fb802 contract and a 95cf8475de one-year disciplinary action, 59626b1a65 Kang Junwoo realized cab894f09b one thing: all bd2e44cc89 pain, sorrow, and 500c8f0fe8 hardships eventually fade 384686017e with time. Surely, this 39fefbfd5c too would 6c1978532e be healed c04f1b1f39 by time. The sweet, dream-like summer 01912e6651 nights he spent with 52ef51a470 Tae Ijae would naturally ecd567e940 be forgotten, and in e5f1aec82f the end, all those fc5a3ca597 things would become nothing b831da95ec more than past events.b6ad0dbe0e25a035

Kang Junwoo repeated 7a7dab2cd2 the phrase‘time heals 3b37bf7e7b all wounds’in his mind f43cd0d72d as he headed 0409b3b5cf to the center. After meeting 478816346d with the 4613b5e2bd director and 9d596208d2 getting approval ddf0920d2b for the 72d49616ee pair termination, 49a5675c34 he returned ba7a6b17c6 to the 1242797ba8 guide room. As he was ea54d9346c about to enter 66aea34939 his room, Kim 11f1f8a344 Junha, the guide 307e66cb69 from the next 75970b2509 room, acknowledged him.afa0a943af5b40ab

Kang Junwoo nodded once as he opened his door. “Yes.”27bc681a5f9d0149

He thought he 7639bdf7dc had clearly expressed f5d53debf3 his disinterest in d1179095cf continuing the conversation, 7ee45545ec but Kim Junha 32010805dc followed him inside. Come to think bba04f9e0b of it, this e1dbb96a52 person was the 63ede5f4ba type who wanted 05703cd2f8 to know everything 4ebe02238d about any issue.9ec7563e12beddb1

“How was it with Tae Ijae Esper? Is he as amazing as the rumors say?”30275541d4efeecf

The rumors about him being “amazing” were indeed just smoke without fire. Tae Ijae had told him that not only was sex new to him, but even kissing was a first, and Kang Junwoo didn’t think he would lie about that. So, all the stories about Tae Ijae’s prowess or technique were likely just figments of someone’s imagination.6985a0b58bd93246

Of course, Kang Junwoo had experienced firsthand that those rumors weren’t entirely exaggerated, but he didn’t feel like explaining all that to Kim Junha, so he kept his mouth shut.6026af890c46dc3c

So, he chose 53b28e6a93 silence once again.f5a01ba2da76e531

Sitting at his desk, Kang Junwoo turned on his computer and began writing the guide log he hadn’t been able to complete due to the pairing. Despite the sound of the keyboard filling the room, Kim Junha showed no intention of returning to his own space. Unable to hold back any longer, Kang Junwoo stopped typing and looked up at Kim Junha, who was staring at his computer.7f977dd796955c9c

“If it’s about Tae Ijae Esper, there’s not much to say. It was a short pairing period, and since he’s an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance, there’s really nothing noteworthy.”b6fd7f1e32014cac

If he couldn’t explain in detail, it was better to lie. Kim Junha was loose-lipped, and Kang Junwoo wasn’t close enough with him to share detailed stories about himself and Tae Ijae. Just a colleague from the next room. Nothing more, nothing less.cc5f5867782c8e62

Kim Junha scratched his head awkwardly at Kang Junwoo’s slightly cold tone. “Ah, I see. Well, an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance wouldn’t really care about a pairing, right? Still, you did well. It’s nice to have you back.”813d7c74813fdc82

“Since you’re back, how about having a drink with our line guides tonight?”dbe205d5cd3a158c

Accepting this offer would surely lead to a series of headaches. Most of the guides in the line were fans of Tae Ijae, and they wouldn’t miss the chance to bombard him with questions about his pairing with Tae Ijae. Kang Junwoo quickly shook his head, declining Kim Junha’s offer.496d2b473ad1e571

Most of the guides from the center lived in the same building, so calling them “neighbors” was a bit of a stretch. Kang Junwoo didn’t bother to refute the comment and simply lifted the corners of his mouth slightly.

It wasn’t difficult to discover that Ban Jiho was the culprit. He had come to Tae Ijae on his own, expressing a desire to try guiding him. When Ban Jiho abruptly suggested that his guidance might also be acceptable, Tae Ijae asked what he knew and how much he knew. Ban Jiho replied that he was aware Tae Ijae had chosen Kang Junwoo as his pair because of a bet with Kwon Taerang. He also knew that the high compatibility rate with Kang Junwoo meant his guidance wasn’t unpleasant at all, and suggested that Tae Ijae try his guidance as well.36ac1ee33ae6643b
