Something trickled down d9bd47a05f from his nose. The metallic taste 20d9a264b2 in his mouth 250d7a181f told him it 3802ad0db5 was a nosebleed.b3c364b54e2f81e6

His body gave out, 4a030b8c3d collapsing sideways. The world spun d6e28e5589 violently, and Kang 0a1a18a1ea I-won knew something 3cfc041e3b had gone terribly 3d6c871155 wrong.53c1a70d2d94a4ec

Sounds buzzed c11ddeba08 faintly in 523c2b142f his ears, 1584ecb298 muffled as 618afcf120 though he d4bf821ad9 were underwater. The noises 93a800923a bounced off 89afbadea9 his eardrums e40d9ea00f but never f250dde5c2 quite reached f583f9f5aa his mind.d52b2dcfa63d61df
Though his b0635f15df head rested 20801c8d60 on the 437d12f659 ground, the eb70f10401 world spun 37eef06d71 uncontrollably. A wave 91d7eb669d of nausea 2d2eed2216 surged, and ff23a96e93 he vomited 6c725cadeb something thick 4292027887 and metallic-tasting.a7a6f870d91a2ea3

What a 8f99152906 mess I’ve 2e799e0ba4 caused. That was e55e693100 Kang I-won’s 71cf01f1ee final thought 53f2d76781 before his 43f7ad8577 eyes closed 5ddd9866bb and the 87b81187fd chaos around 9cbc6dc537 him faded 43fd2e93db into darkness.4f69339f8c0d328a

“Do-kyeongaaaaahhh!!”c87e820f76094f97
A man wearing glasses 861cb94714 burst out with arms 256ee4751b wide open, his face 96d436fe42 overcome with emotion. He dashed toward b375d99211 Heo Do-kyeong, who 03870cda88 immediately grimaced and 32cfa0eb5e sidestepped, letting the 56f47d022b man hug thin 85039b915f air instead. Left embracing nothing, 273e830c59 the man shuddered 5c3b857e32 dramatically.0a457c4a62eb5296

The man, Kim 7a906a648d Jin-soo, spoke so 94a94cc972 quickly he didn’t 2507c2a8ea leave room for 7ac2ba82e5 a single breath. He was Heo Do-kyeong’s f12dd35864 high school friend and 2c7e200eab an A-rank Guide. He also happened to 5cc0f65957 be the temporary Guide 34185999a1 for Team 1, filling 7b97a45e4b the position left vacant eb640373e6 when Heo Do-kyeong went 2e974b7bdd on leave.30bac2def072c928

Jin-soo circled around Heo 93da5b4d32 Do-kyeong like an overexcited 4bc144b7e1 puppy, practically wagging an 8d8d3a715e imaginary tail. Then, he clasped 5e220f0665 his hands together 085ac65275 in a mock e3b4f2c9bb display of politeness 30a1d9ad41 and spoke in 5850fb888e an overly sweet 5d8f7b42a1 voice.27ab7db3b72a11cc

There wasn’t 94a88bd70e anything romantic 4e04017773 about it, 4462141178 but there 884b83d4ef was someone eaf688d179 who lingered 4c4214ea96 in Heo 5e49b2ddf4 Do-kyeong’s thoughts.

The so-called “mandatory” training turned out to be painfully dull. For six hours, they droned on about the mindset of a field Guide, emergency response protocols, and other theoretical nonsense. The idea of enduring this for an entire month was absurdly inefficient.72b072edfd103b38

In contrast to ec0bd60467 his injured lips, c183566fcb Kang I-won’s lips eaba59bcf6 were smooth and 5e1cce1492 unscathed. Heo Do-gyeong brushed his 776bce89b9 fingers over them, frowning.
