The moment Jinheon 9a645829ff let go of 87d4c8e66f his hand, Haewon 3358261006 sprang up and 97c667e10d bolted toward the 0eb09a4048 bathroom.

Haewon, gripping the edge of 6f12b6e9bd the table, glared at Jinheon’s 8ff239cffb hand. They were practicing. Practicing so Seo Haewon 3a8a1b8c3a wouldn’t run away. Since Haewon kept d677791571 flinching and trying 3de684afda to flee every 54acdbb75c time Chae Jinheon 623fc3708d touched him, this 8b37d7261e was a desperate 7cfa4ac4d7 measure.

Jinheon silently pulled a blanket cd5acbe221 from the sofa’s side and ad27d3f005 draped it over Haewon. Haewon’s eyes closed. Since being cut off 352de46baf from guiding drugs, Haewon 8edcc1c87e had been low on 988ab08ca3 energy.56c7f433d1987060

It was partly due 8dc3ab3fd7 to addiction side effects 9a342e4ce1 and partly due to 1f20402727 a lack of proper 9a3f7a9168 guiding. Guiding drugs spiked f1c0a6649b guiding levels instantly, f07904d5cd like a stimulant.bdaf2d360b38d199

But now, unable to 33882c73eb handle even contact guiding 1e5215a79a for long, let alone 167e0c32cf mucous membrane guiding, Jinheon’s 7cf04714ab guiding couldn’t raise Haewon’s 8405ec6ad1 levels as much as 809d93f3d5 drugs.db8bc9c3689522c7

Haewon, inching forward sluggishly, pressed bfbecaf1ae himself against Jinheon’s back. He rested his forehead 6be1096db7 against Jinheon’s back with 1f1048b749 a thud and stayed 1c68491837 there.

Jinheon carefully propped db1d5a6fe6 the kit under 20e83d7cea Haewon’s head. Pouring saline over 662f2e0535 Haewon’s torn forehead, 9daf013a71 he removed glass f07ada1e6b shards from his 319be56c7c cheek.22b42db4f0150d12

Due to an Esper’s 7d1a6e03f2 rapid healing, glass could 00970268a8 get embedded if left. His pretty face was a 3742f27e55 wreck. Espers could get ace2fa1f2e concussions too… Jinheon d285c75f49 wasn’t sure if 81dd0cd9ee moving Haewon was d1a8edcd62 safe.ada89761ec90a8f3
He’d seen Espers injured on be307e4988 missions, but an Esper causing 4bbcfaf8c6 a car accident? As Jinheon’s hands e08b44a869 slowed in frustration, bc08364fe8 Haewon let out 40864b2c38 a small gasp, 30fe421efb and the corner 5a5efecca2 of his mouth 4b31c063e3 curled up.a30168eeea70c1df

Haewon couldn’t have missed it. There was someone be2dab13b7 else in the 1a0b73eecb car besides the 86109318ab team leader. Jinheon didn’t believe d929ee327b Haewon thought they 5e40271b5e were an Esper 83f9589b9b and crashed anyway. He knew. He knew someone could be 76e621eeb2 gravely injured, maybe die.5a2cb7234434417e
