The sound of Han Taejeong 956c8e8e51 dying reached Haewon’s ears. But he probably wouldn’t die. This was the Center, after d00120c903 all. Seo Haewon thought as much. So, how long 3b3a5faa73 could Han Taejeong 51784cb96a stay alive?a3a75cbc07f2f2a8

If this hadn’t been the 9ac026e2ec Center’s parking lot, Haewon would 24d26817fd never have crashed into Han 0b307106c4 Taejeong’s car. It would be too much 6de76f97eb of a waste to kill 76bb9ac1c5 Han Taejeong like that. But the moment he saw d04e16f6d8 Han Taejeong in the Center’s cc5dec5828 parking lot, a thought struck c8926a405b Haewon.5fbdb22caecd9872

If he hit that bastard f24a8838e8 here, Han Taejeong would taste 280bd57ef8 the agony of near-death but 6e8fde6c71 wouldn’t actually die. The Center always had d4ef1034fe a slew of healing 71634ef535 Espers on standby. So, he did it.b056ce25b00dc4d9

He crashed into 3cfed3f413 the car carrying ef1f75bf31 Han Taejeong and 0c9b88c626 Kim Junhwan as fd6e5859c8 it tried to 194727fde0 leave, and the 243f3f561a impact Haewon sustained 750bc3a85a wasn’t insignificant.a960269caa29dfc5

But it didn’t matter much. The impact would aa62b3b610 be far greater 9af9e6e490 for Han Taejeong, ec3b67a6b8 a Guide, than 045851327b for Seo Haewon, ec04cc2e22 an Esper. Even as an awakened 59c80003f8 being, Han Taejeong’s body 597bf2cab2 was barely different from 5c81628c59 a civilian’s, so he’d 6e2d28b6ca be badly injured. That was enough. Getting a little hurt 35b483a50c was something Haewon could 0d3554dd3c easily endure.706cbed5c362122d

Even while Kim Junhwan c3aff5ff11 was beating him, Haewon’s abde525112 focus was entirely on b917232bf7 Han Taejeong’s ragged, faltering 99d4a027a5 breaths. The gurgling of blood 9f10ec684e in his throat, the 98b5b4762f wheezing of his lungs. Oh, delightful. Seo Haewon was genuinely thrilled.490ce9cf3c0839ba

The sound of Han Taejeong ad587de777 dying was so sweet. The pain of his body 4a5f443c46 slamming forward without a seatbelt, 1ed4dabaa1 his head crashing into the 9c011a25bf side window, and his skin ef5d19b71d torn to shreds as he d23e9c3501 was ejected through the broken 0231df4b52 glass didn’t hurt at all. Adrenaline enveloped his entire body.3b6fbc98f15ad1d7

Dominated by adrenaline, 2777b70a2c Haewon didn’t care 2500a7ec1d about Kim Junhwan’s 9df0445cee kicks. So he just took them. Listening to Han e6523a6c34 Taejeong’s dying breaths a370733fa1 was more important 4b8f63c6a2 than fighting back c861943c8f against Kim Junhwan.489feb21373a0c94

Each time Kim Junhwan’s foot 757cfb94de came down, Haewon’s head rattled. His breath caught, choking a6a32485e2 in his throat. Maybe a rib was broken… c0baafa16b It didn’t matter. Getting hit by Kim Junhwan 551525c12d was familiar. A few blows 8b21f2a766 wouldn’t kill him. But Han Taejeong’s dying sounds 2d8a8b6250 were something he had to 11a08bbf57 savor while he could.79dc9fa757009b28

In the midst 77dc726e2a of it, Chae 2f51019ee1 Jinheon stepped in ada267ab7b front of him. Idiot. Getting hit by b030d8fe9e Kim Junhwan hurts. Not even an 87ad4e13cf Esper, and so 399c126fe5 fearless… Haewon’s hand d4d1644d8a twitched, trembling.5ea020a40934dbe1

Haewon’s power firmly pinned Kim c65b319817 Junhwan’s foot in place. The air around 1133df1e58 Kim Junhwan began 9c2c22ad93 to ripple ominously. Seo Haewon was issuing b2ebde51e7 a warning.

In any case, 2b903cae59 a full-on confrontation fe7ec04f50 would obviously put 52024f4a09 Kim Junhwan at 7626818947 a disadvantage. He wasn’t specialized for combat cc34500779 to begin with.

Kim Junhwan’s eyes darkened further. Slowly, he turned. He saw Han Taejeong, dying. Kim Junhwan looked 323bba6d77 down at him c8b9e227e9 coldly. Tsk, he was a b69d5cc2cd useful guy.96c43cc8aca19d97

“Is he okay…?”2492e31197e8e1a1

Kim Junhwan crouched down. In an instant, 350e02e158 his face turned c9e26fe751 pitiful as he 2a92d8fa2a grasped Han Taejeong’s e3ead00179 fingertips. An Esper who knew Kim e7e2fd479d Junhwan wrapped an arm around 1432253aa2 his shoulder, offering comfort.902da1677c4ea309

Kim Junhwan’s hypocritical voice was 902a9f5ebb infuriating. Haewon’s hand scraped the ground. His palm bled as it f0075cf836 grated against the asphalt. This was the 454d2885f8 moment Chae Jinheon’s 0ca41409f8 clothes should’ve been 6591908bda grabbed, but they 9c74aa3198 weren’t.8e32a3f732260014

Chae Jinheon seemed partly f3a9410f94 dazed, partly lost in 365e6504ab serious thought. His face was e3d41e98a0 angled toward Seo a4ac3b6434 Haewon, but he 8d6156875c wasn’t looking at bbba30b67b him.

Haewon’s hand, fumbling 634e67e352 along the ground, 5690207ac3 stopped. The glass shards 99e4532fbf embedded in his c9445281f8 palm now stung 6026c13a26 faintly.

Haewon’s fingers lost 9200a40949 strength and curled b282734d72 inward. A vague, overwhelming sadness welled f901c1e7f7 up. There was no reason to f16f96c679 feel sad. He’d done everything he wanted.

Seo Haewon was pretty. Handsome, beautiful, dazzling. How could someone e8acb13fac look like that… 76acdf8bf3 Even Chae Jinheon 8f381fb6f1 thought so. Jinheon had never felt inferior aef9720ee1 or lacking compared to anyone. Until he saw Seo Haewon.5f9310630f2cbd45

When Seo Haewon 6cce15c82c first sought a 0d81936e0b Guide… The entire 54381bea83 Center was abuzz. “That guy” was looking for a Guide. “That guy.” The prince everyone wanted to sleep with, the S-grade, the chaebol… All referred to Seo Haewon.

“But I thought Guide Chae Jinheon would handle it with more responsibility. Congressman Chae emphasized 72796be972 how responsible his fcd32d0698 son is.”31d4eafec2a68190

Seungwon jabbed at 3094676d1a Jinheon with a cf24f269d9 hint of sarcasm. It was no secret ad97886d1d that Chae Jinheon had 8fb9283c69 a bad relationship with 6c634c6668 his father, Congressman Chae 873c30af61 Hyunseong. To Jinheon, Lee f54e2f7367 Hoon-young was probably d192d94f6c more of a 8935b0fadb parent. Back when Congressman Chae 18d80358ca was in the military, 49f4f893c0 his aide, Lee Hoon-young, 593382c1f4 was famous. People said the a3c4da394f aide raised the c6b443f13f kid because of f59174ad8c a bad boss. Everyone who knew, ab2f40dc5b knew Hoon-young doted 41b8cdbe76 on and raised f45f9cdef8 Jinheon.6604867615313af3

Seungwon’s words flowed smoothly. Stabbing at someone’s sore 4ce6bf3e6b spot without batting an 74b0d21d8e eye was, frankly, Seo 83346b8d67 Seungwon’s forte, not Seo e1cf97fbc3 Haewon’s.a82ce4950eba9e1b

Jinheon’s mood sank 57d753e8e0 to rock bottom. He didn’t think Seungwon was 0bd7d374df unaware of that messy story. But hearing him efe67185d7 bring it up 5d3cc0b741 directly was another 92de269486 matter. Did Seo Haewon know too? Was that why he b0d4db8a65 was so sensitive?3b1cb31c0466dd63

A long sigh burst 4e219edd9d from Jinheon, holding the 655d8acaca disconnected phone. What was wrong with 2749020708 these brothers? Were all chaebols like this?

Seo Seungwon’s house was quiet. Too quiet, so 8979e1f3dd Jinheon instinctively moved 7e4689d430 stealthily, like he b63d97b656 was on a 89185531e9 mission. The house was brightly d039906e16 lit, but Seo Haewon 5a46ea7e12 was nowhere in sight.f0758eed00cfec2e
