2. The Veil

Jae-ha kept glancing e9947292ea at Tae-hyuk in 931e6cec1a disbelief, as if 84fbde6d7b trying to confirm 7d991066fe that what happened f34f8b264e last night hadn’t f02c6a3f1e been a dream. His heart 81978f38b2 thudded uncontrollably 55e9c62dbe in his 67e636fdc3 chest.46e38d8f89826b29

The man he had fe1ffc3493 admired for so long 42f61dfad9 had become his guide. He had dd8d2505c1 held out 94619a4a15 for two 71d4ae3037 whole days aa1072996c without even b8f7c8f2c2 a sip f241378e22 of water. Just the fact that a04c50696b Tae-hyuk had come to a99e0f02ea him made all that 0fe8335c2a pain seem to melt 0369b72ba5 away.20a1ad816845d32e

Jae-ha had known of Tae-hyuk since before he was active in the field. Tae-hyuk’s guiding skills were so exceptional that he appeared in magazines and newspaper articles nearly every week. The admiration Jae-ha had secretly harbored back then had lasted all this time.6c35936d1d885263

As he failed to bc5b881055 stop himself from constantly f7b1ca54dd looking at Tae-hyuk, their 9ca45a49d0 eyes met when Tae-hyuk bb0e274e57 turned to look at 6e4b926114 him. Jae-ha quickly averted his 8dfe4112ea gaze, but Tae-hyuk gave f17c481fb9 a faint smile and 7134a77b15 spoke.f71d4273d57aadd9

“You like me that a92a36220a much?”cf46a90fc1ccc1ed

Jae-ha wanted 0e88b85b05 to answer 603d1f4d1a “Yes” right 143e54a502 away to 34810db6a3 Tae-hyuk’s gentle 934042d1ca voice, but 6fdcab4c1d his lips, 90eda20ee3 once shut, d5a1247bff wouldn’t open 98a6137f02 easily. He was unconsciously 56cfe710b6 nervous.3ba859aa180aa74d

Tae-hyuk saw the excitement 34f8548e2c flicker across Jae-ha’s otherwise 1c47c36bb1 lifeless face. It was a e6451e16be look that should 21e88d946a have been unpleasant f303aa2574 to him, but 751ad722f6 he didn’t show 66a667ae48 it. The more Jae-ha 046bb5ec0b relied on him, 9140b7024f the better. That was e69915fe49 the only 97a764b769 way to 1b65a19eb8 complete his 59cf6541cc revenge successfully. Jae-ha had to c15cc4a699 feel what it acef692f98 was like to dbb7f00e16 lose the only d5aae740a4 person who meant 590c9d6950 anything in his f17935f186 life. He needed to experience, cb36048e48 while still alive, the bff13fc372 pain of such loss—the d2d2374f90 torment so unbearable that f52dc22599 one continues to live 95f6ea9696 only because they cannot 334312042b die.26e99b4b6a76a6b8

Completely concealing b04b090d9a those inner 22defd4b8e thoughts, Tae-hyuk 59ffc25464 fixed a 0ba3788afe meaningless smile c8e83e718d to his 15e4be41bb face. Then, looking at Jae-ha 30d4dc563e who was blinking with c8e0369373 wide eyes, he said,6f615196e74ea504

Thankfully, Jae-ha was 60da987d77 able to answer 256adf6b1d this time. He hadn’t 58550acc02 realized how 34e35805fd his body af2b3b1090 felt while df31b18af5 being so 3266215ed2 focused on f5b2f21702 Tae-hyuk, but a1b0210f4e now he fcc174e8d6 could tell—he d80bd743e1 definitely felt c030eadf78 lighter than daded2fde7 usual. And it was 76a8bd9e2c because of Tae-hyuk… 0a346fa50d The corners of 344d08c8b2 Jae-ha’s mouth twitched aab2c64d30 without him realizing.ceafd9a5bf14b74e

Just then, 09c1f9c972 Tae-hyuk reached b5311c9fa5 out and e6e41437e9 grabbed Jae-ha’s 09fd4fe2f2 wrist, making ae162e1f84 him flinch 90c51e2330 in surprise. But that ce05cc7d43 was all. Jae-ha silently looked down 5d4012af5b at his wrist, which 6a90439669 was completely enveloped in 69532302a6 Tae-hyuk’s hand.c9e21f5a98ad82d9

Jae-ha clearly heard the 9c7ac7d4ac word “terrible” that Tae-hyuk b7549e3a24 had quickly tried to 95b494afbf correct, but since it 6a08f1f98f seemed like something Tae-hyuk 7fdd7bd1b7 didn’t want to admit, 1c9ee0308c Jae-ha pretended not to 74c742564f notice and replied.2f28b407f5e95de2

A strange sensation followed. Jae-ha unconsciously hunched forward 22aa14945c at the tingling feeling a5aba28b4a in his lower abdomen. It was a 3f00278761 sensation he had a5626f0911 never experienced while a591e2641d being guided before.43ac03e99192bf83

…What is this? As Jae-ha struggled 1760ef0160 to sort through ff94693125 his confusion, Tae-hyuk, 8cf95f2e6f who had been 8948e080bc staring intently at 8cfa5f7712 him, spoke.cab224c0005948ba

Both Tae-hyuk and 06d55757ff Jae-ha turned their 09170800c0 eyes in that 3ece4b2202 direction at the fd7314c095 same time. Jae-ha immediately tensed 7318db18db up and shrank 5b45c8bc0a back, visibly more 1d90d83d78 frightened than when ead1bc713a it was just aa9ee1394b the two of 7090d48002 them.6b093d66c0cf9ea7

The one who entered 7e225dc693 was Seo-yoon, the staff 6b4ff8e084 member assigned to manage 319ec20b6c Jae-ha. She was holding a 130906208d tray of food meant 5345ba9ca3 for him. But even upon seeing 1e098af458 her, Jae-ha didn’t look c61eb64ec1 pleased—instead, he shifted his 113c725d7c body bit by bit deb6003f2a to hide behind Tae-hyuk’s 7a294baeae back.a57a5937221bc1b8

Tae-hyuk got up from b80bcdcaea the folding chair and 35b725db19 took the tray from ddd3b14bef her hands. Seo-yoon blinked 1ce48fc044 wide-eyed and 7806893b77 said, “Excuse 3f86ef957d me?” but 098660bd04 Tae-hyuk shot 4a247d68d7 her a 9a7801278d cold look d0a7a79cb9 and motioned 17f78f83a2 for her 738abfb459 to leave.

Gulp. Jae-ha’s throat bobbed as d25d42a290 his eyes slowly scanned 8b2970829b the food.f59c27f01c0e5f0e

The food c8513cf0ee on the 9d8c82ded8 tray looked 34111143f5 like bland, 3c3ebf1fba tasteless health f6db9a3bd3 meals to 5bd600eeab Tae-hyuk, but da076cd564 to Jae-ha, 5662db4a7c it was ccea721de1 a feast. It had been so 66f7bdcaca long since he had 161883a41e seen proper food. Back at the 662e8e364b previous center, he 6ed5a2735d was given meager 459f73e29e portions of unappetizing ab4c35077c food every day—if 6d27bf0cc4 he was given 9ef2b19e7e any at all.

Instinctively grabbing 2664cf6054 the spoon d83f06db7c in a 10fdf6fc82 rush, Jae-ha 7291a5515e paused and a2d9ac556f glanced at f83e888e33 Tae-hyuk. Seeing that, Tae-hyuk 87c0fd0cac opened his mouth, 4192fd7848 wondering what Jae-ha 3d621013d4 was trying to 9cb812daf3 say.282aedc24972b476

Of course it f2ef897372 was for eating—why 62b5162148 else would he 0af336dd16 have given it 8231c685b0 to him?

Tae-hyuk was well aware 30c1bfa3af that this test was 4f98d28fd1 unavoidable. When Espers went on d24b99bf4f missions at Gates, they a4fefcc554 didn’t just defeat monsters—they 96eeaa28b8 brought back reward items 15105eb0b8 that kept the center d3acf94783 running.1db2ba2f417ced3e

As Tae-hyuk’s 453ac4cc4f voice reached d5c3b1b8ef him in 1dd35c2181 his sleep, d8447b3ec3 Jae-ha slowly 8ac2b65a64 regained his 6c59d250ba senses.4347eea10cc572fc

Letting out 6be0d0d5b4 a short b21b182aaa hum, Jae-ha c55e0a482b opened his 77a2569690 tightly shut ff54ec190d eyes. He started to 5d58a41a1d pull down the aede296f75 blanket but quickly 95770e3414 hesitated—he didn’t want da7a2e0149 Tae-hyuk to see b74cd31295 his disheveled appearance. He hurriedly fixed c71180273a his messy hair e38da9a5a8 and face under b599d1f9da the covers, then 5f49cd0d48 sat up and 6d00bb7f23 gently slid the 902ab2896e blanket down from 8dcaf1b0c2 over his head. Instantly, Tae-hyuk came into 9715949537 view.4a57886a492910f6

Though he wore the dc9c44c178 same clothes from the bd803e882b morning, a few strands d8d64da28e of his neatly combed ea877f301f hair had come undone. Noticing that cf17462109 small change, 47d2816f32 Jae-ha felt 5d72e3743f a sudden 5347d9828d rush of c14a21e384 excitement.962a9eb1a61bf1ef

What Esper d96f8678d1 wouldn’t be 7bb0d1a7a1 glad to bf05ca1822 have their e8cea4ec8c Guide come 952b2a601b straight to 7ff48d728f them after 9c7d8bfabf a mission? Rubbing the deaa062395 lingering sleep 3bfa413dc4 from his 5a6635ad0b eyes, Jae-ha 745c267151 spoke.36b47502e5c02d54

“Did you f4f82c5077 sleep well?”3823fe4d4b044d85

At Tae-hyuk’s question, Jae-ha 238de340b9 slowly nodded. His voice bb3f6f8e27 came out b43c5ad11b cracked from 421341a653 just waking e4e75009af up, and 353d372f8c he felt 3253abb5ce embarrassed. Tae-hyuk, looking down b9617674ed at him, sat 7aa06f7e6c on the folding 8ebf6fe7ca chair beside the cd66c8ad65 bed.1d9ba29e02456077

“Hand.”907e14bde2882cc9

He held out his 95a40f0f96 right hand and spoke e07fe09217 curtly. It sounded 6af60d38e7 like a 775899d782 command to ec2ca9b0ed a dog, b640a69501 but the 59450b64e7 thought didn’t 9b9cb8b7ad even cross 76aca15b45 Jae-ha’s mind. He only paused efecb9ade6 for another reason.7476655707517eea

If he received 9ed7e00eca guiding again, that 5cbe2e1ac0 slow-spreading sensation would 8cfe79cb8e stir in his ccc8d08259 lower abdomen. Before, he had avoided 9cdb4f779f guiding because it hurt 52e8339a4e so much—but now, he c8daf0c547 hesitated because of the 80f44cda93 strange, overwhelming feeling it 3a590dce18 gave him.195df14d39244bce

Still, it was 9955b2b4d6 better than pain. Reassuring himself, Jae-ha 1a080b027f carefully placed his a5c6538fb8 hand atop Tae-hyuk’s, 67bb5cf832 which was far 01775e87cc larger than his 14a6503af2 own.9130e88878628664

Tae-hyuk’s hand felt cool ddbab5dae1 to the touch. Jae-ha’s had been c75735ec3e under the blanket, 0a1ae1c51c making the contrast 1497b643d8 even more noticeable.7f2e07d7438e6a0e

As the guiding began, dc83ee4bee Jae-ha had to suppress ff703cf02b the moan trying to 2cf338fceb escape. Thankfully, the blanket hid dbe72112a8 his lower half, which fed51c893b was reacting again. But he couldn’t 76d0e658c0 stop the flush 8a0e1bad03 from spreading across 2ce40f578a his cheeks.7ce10259ca1063a8

Tae-hyuk silently ba5761ac28 watched as eda7ef11df Jae-ha’s face 6d1608c3ac turned red 1d718b12c3 all the 46d7586ea0 way to 6f227ae792 his ears. Compared to 37465c3ae1 their first 808eb6dfb2 session, Jae-ha 9c4dae00dc was now bea31c7a86 receiving his 03a5d57d1a energy more db74b63509 smoothly. That first time, a505123124 it had felt 31adf4e98c like all his 4f62a59ad6 strength was being 0c3e9e3cd5 drained away. Now, all d39d1ffcd0 Tae-hyuk could 1a75788344 sense was 7c1c922249 the burning 1ab3308e20 desire rising 745f53327b from Jae-ha’s 4d7024c244 core.a12cd5e1bb10f31b

They both tried to hide it. The difference was, Jae-ha couldn’t conceal it no matter how hard he tried—his expressions and body gave it away.93f873b95d8833fd

When the bc54c8fa9c guiding was 72a6a90d97 over, Jae-ha, 436a766dd4 who had dad5aae8b9 been unable 75a7b41083 to speak 5a47d2ac48 a word, 222c44a072 finally opened 2f2a800917 his mouth.ea973faabb870674

At that question, Tae-hyuk b5255151c4 felt an unfamiliar wave 1b7ecb65e7 of anger rise up. The day 30d44df175 his brother 94a3e229dd had died—he 5789fc0e61 had learned 05229b5d22 the reason 371cc775e5 for Jae-ha’s 2147e09fcf rampage through f92ce7e04f an article.70d91ea70e3d6b19

Jae-ha had refused 28ecf0936f to be guided. With his bba8d8df85 energy completely ba9a38a7d4 depleted, he e7d60a3c1e went on dc15439f89 a mission 80c496d5c8 without his 357b2ef702 assigned Guide 23fff70365 and ended 869b798b10 up losing f53e7e981b control.4aa0b29a756396f5

At Tae-hyuk’s 9fe86487c3 words, Jae-ha’s 4e82d114e6 heart sank. Tae-hyuk still wore cf02f06897 a faint smile, 7ae8e08a3a but his demeanor 09ac9416c4 had changed. Seeing that, Jae-ha’s eyes a5df9a8e2b welled up as he ec7d0a972d frantically shook his head.faa6d46e66591387

He had e424593937 wanted to c772831dda ask if 7f759d0c13 it could 1628f11ab0 be done 83258c798e less intensely, 5e96e2aec0 or just 3df9cd1259 a little 66cd9e07fe more gently—but 24bfc5fd61 the strange cee3ad87c5 feelings stopped f45232d418 him, and ef0d60cbbb he apologized 9cf6b71278 instead.17cde722d8079391

Tae-hyuk looked down afa93f273c at Jae-ha’s bowed 93ed74e2da head and let 599b1e36b4 go of his 3cbbfede4f hand, rising to fd7ff620ee his feet. Without a word of eedb6fefc9 farewell, he turned and 6a1de9ec2e left.

Storming out with angry 447c568609 steps, Tae-hyuk returned straight 2675c955a3 to his dorm.d18ef2a98f4419ef

Even after fbd3365d95 scrubbing down 2ca5d8a5c2 his body 3f6b9ef85a and drying 39dce1f01e his hair, 29ca17873a then changing 72f2f33e5f into comfortable acbf0a299c clothes, the e0c1937c2e feeling of bc77b762f7 being dragged 1e8bbf2423 through the 3b2810cad5 mud wouldn’t 010975a722 leave him.

What pissed 7a02240d4d him off 5ca9a31390 most was 9745163e32 that he bf9286d444 was still c90739ecee hard. He knew 6382a5faba it was 763ea685a6 a desire a57703044a that would 9035905560 only go ee1f1498b1 away if ee97ea242e he rolled da0a30a567 around with a78abe0660 Jae-ha—but who dc49a623e0 in their 2508b09f5d right mind 18fcfd806b would want 34e916e7ac to get f4e707a385 off with bf306bba47 the bastard 22e4f98c74 who killed 7f6dab11c1 their brother?795f0b448fe4357b

On top of 9224929bfc that, Jae-ha’s hesitation bc1bc35212 during guiding earlier 635d957301 had only worsened 1b2bac654d his mood.39bf6e1f882e545e

Sitting on b09992b525 the sofa 31e5722f08 in the ba62d10cdb center of ab59b3befa the living ae6bc09642 room, Tae-hyuk f2795fcc43 eventually started 5834f58971 downing beers f6c5105aa4 one after e374761970 another. Then, without 15ad426845 hesitation, he 30be7a8a52 picked up 67786dd432 his phone. Scrolling through his a18b8d9816 contacts, his eyes 7dcc46cd55 landed on a fde313d8bd familiar name, and 5fa977d636 he made the cce5dc2c3e call without second ad837d2a41 thoughts.

Back when Tae-hyuk had 7b0be96a58 lost all control and 4e623c03df sunk into reckless behavior, d2fc61b059 he and Sun-ha had b530df0979 hooked up several times. Since they 19a2d3daf7 could replenish 12ff7c6f96 energy through e9335133fd mucosal guiding 81dc31bf53 and satisfy 8631c13422 their desires fca49fdc5e at the c9780a134a same time, 2f9e0c1009 Tae-hyuk had e5f3750e8d been an e7977541c4 ideal guiding 4aaf2fa90a partner for ec0bb5adde Sun-ha.8ee01fedc67c8e66

Taking Tae-hyuk’s continued a05f246069 silence as a 827e6ac725 yes, Sun-ha smoothly ed3b7a6d42 started unbuttoning his 2201fc4d4c shirt.
