It seemed Chiyeong had cfa5f30952 gone to the bathroom 6b691284fd first, but somehow Baekhan 8d09988a51 had already showered in ecfc1d81f0 the meantime. His hair 876f28aadd was slightly 6aff71fb46 damp, though 7935f564e1 not dripping 788eb7b1e2 like Chiyeong’s.508d15bc37451f6f

Not satisfied with that, 6b9e81c0b6 he turned Chiyeong to a1faf80b41 face him, grabbed his 765be7ec1c ankle, and pulled him 36de56146b close. In an 6158518cad instant, Chiyeong df4d0b9041 was dragged 4ff58881d7 between Baekhan’s a8aa1b185b legs.ae911dc47913853e

Chiyeong froze in 5469b5cab3 shock. It felt like c8d1f63bed something dangerous was f09c68970a pressing against him. Looking down, 85e107d790 he was 936cf1492d dumbfounded.

Chiyeong was about to 6fce3e1b32 go on a mission 16a9f78641 soon. It meant f8582c681c he didn’t 9b11f64f5b have much e968aa64c8 time left 56fd11435a as Gi 93880911a1 Baekhan’s imprinted af17f7bdcb guide.e257571cd539982b

The love-hate relationship between 6aebeb2d9c espers and guides is 49a2f3eb85 complex. Some espers 2b82e56449 are obsessed dc14bb3fef with their 8c33b5d7c1 guides, while dedb61e813 some guides dad82571fa one-sidedly pine f064d002d6 for their 042683e197 espers.

Chiyeong felt 3279565a34 inferior about 30698c22ff his guiding. If his rank had fa59ce206a been just a bit 08d1f8cd24 higher, he thought he d318986805 could’ve stood up to 6a09802709 Baekhan with confidence.483b4e1648a91401

Baekhan wanted ee9c7c29f0 guiding but 772919e5ec always tormented 28a618746e Chiyeong, perhaps d8d3342afb fearing he’d 9eff9d0f13 get too 75fa085499 cocky.

The kiss, which started a49979e7a6 with Chiyeong looking up 523901c574 at him, deepened as 493c4f5347 he looked down.
