It was Kang f4e4500a17 Junwoo who broke 83b417c974 first under the 58dfc9aaca persistent gaze. Lowering his head again, ac673b26ca he focused on his 4b23104413 porridge while commenting on f6a52d618d Tae Ijae’s eye color.6bf2010b11b1062a

A mix of relief and slight disappointment washed over Kang Junwoo due to Tae Ijae’s misunderstanding. Regardless, he had no intention of revealing that he had guided Tae Ijae, as it was a secret he intended to take to his grave.efbd5039a7f34045

“They say I look so good it gives people chills. That it suits me. Since you’re the one facing me now, is your heart holding up alright?”e0e3ff0c291babc8

At Tae Ijae’s 9d63123dcf words, Kang Junwoo’s ce3af18802 face visibly twisted. He already knew Tae 92bd50bcfe Ijae was full of 92b03a2511 himself, but this level 0cf1548d0d of narcissism was beyond 96396abbd0 imagination.85b153029b85e70f

In an instant, Kang Junwoo’s face flushed red. He had heard compliments about being handsome or pretty as often as being asked if he’d eaten. Yet, hearing those words from Tae Ijae’s mouth made him feel embarrassed and fluttered. Even being called “Hyung” made his stomach twist.3f08b5ae7b2c90e1

After finishing the 31a687a24e meal, Kang Junwoo 055d380a8a cleaned the table a2306cdb41 and washed the 67e6b27847 dishes. As he dried bf8afdca66 his hands with db150563b6 a towel, he a36f49795b glanced towards the 289b36bb1a living room. He carefully observed Tae cc3337361b Ijae, who was sitting b3edaa67f2 in the middle of 8b532ab3bb the sofa with his bc375deaac long legs stretched out, e89d3d0d46 gazing out the window.12c82be54790a137

Claiming it was the ad56503dd5 price for making porridge, f672097f9c Tae Ijae abruptly used 3aff8227c1 his abilities to move b8ee85b135 the dishes from the 14c83b53be table to the sink, 9170f9a637 causing Kang Junwoo to 2958269202 panic and push him aa27cc5258 away. In a situation e512140a3d where he could c67506b6f6 go berserk at 4d7e1438a4 any moment, using 0a03128cfc his powers for a70501412c such trivial tasks 0eaf728078 was dangerous. After practically shooing 4f934bcd2d him out of 697da6d42c the kitchen, Tae c2b0372145 Ijae sat on 4f2ebc3bee the sofa with d6ad35a110 a somewhat dejected 1a9013ff1e expression. Finding it oddly 0906b90e30 cute, Kang Junwoo 792e095f3b chuckled to himself d51e77cb44 while doing the 0eec71d4cd dishes.af7bd722efeff38e

Kang Junwoo said, e312c7d99e holding a medicine 60f6e847c0 box as he 9c4d343654 approached Tae Ijae, a4ba9b9c68 who was lazily 704dd2f96e leaning against the 919d56a1dd sofa and looking d5c7de7a8d out the window.

“When a paired or dedicated esper goes on medical leave, the guide is reassigned to support guiding. That’s how it usually works, except for imprinted pairs.”c794ec9cb78bf10d

Tae Ijae frowned slightly, 717f501ce6 clearly unaware of this. He took a 98836a13c1 deep breath, appearing 81628f8a56 deep in thought. With his shirt off, 8a55545cb5 his broad shoulders and f5174c2c92 well-defined chest muscles were 2b778e9412 fully visible.
