Ban Jiho paired up with f287157ef8 Kwon Jun-gyeol, a rising star 2739c7e36a in the first division, the f57ba94c03 day after he found out 182e043ae3 that Tae Ijae had paired 3d0f55a0cb with Kang Junwoo.d51cf9fe9124833c

“Oh, no. It’s the same area, but a separate request came up, so we took another area.”5823304efed42de0

Only then did Kang Junwoo realize, “Ah,” understanding why Ban Jiho hurriedly contracted a pair and why they came here of all places. Being the grandson of the center’s chairman, he could easily secure any request he wanted.d84b4af15a7417b7

That’s why Tae Ijae frowned as soon as he saw Ban Jiho.249dba5a9f14c40a

When Ban Jiho called dd41ff1e39 out to Tae Ijae, 6b035bca98 who was harshly criticizing 70ef98c1d3 Kwon Jun-gyeol, Tae Ijae e707590a58 turned to him with 82af5401bd a fierce look and 4f665a4ebd said,b205daac87b8888b

His voice was chillingly cold.810a304a9cc43609

Ban Jiho bit his d6b676d87b lower lip, looking as 28becf7434 if he might cry, 25b405c3a1 and stared at Tae be53574370 Ijae, who clicked his 589c37dd06 tongue and started flying 792f474aed towards the gate. Kwon Jungyeol quickly followed behind 39c9ab4dba him.d38cd06c43c178eb

“Why do you come to the field when you don’t even receive guidance?”ff136fb638ace3d4

As soon as Tae Ijae 2fb3d22108 disappeared, Ban Jiho asked Kang e299636936 Junwoo in a sharp voice.66940ec6718958d6

Feeling somewhat weary, Kang Junwoo 88c5837147 let out a short sigh 51b414e1c6 and replied,510a280dbe42bf57

“It’s company policy to be on-site, and Tae Ijae dislikes center support, so I can’t do that. If I send Tae Ijae to the field alone and support another Esper from the center, he definitely won’t stay quiet.”49fd1a85b6bd32bb

For a moment, Ban Jiho’s eyes widened in shock.369b939762616215

Kang Junwoo thought that Ban Jiho seemed completely unaware of why Tae Ijae refused guidance. Tae Ijae had mentioned that he hadn’t told anyone else but him, and it seemed like Ban Jiho was subtly trying to confirm whether or not he had guided Tae Ijae, making Kang Junwoo certain that Ban Jiho was clueless about Tae Ijae’s situation.72a9c583aca71b58

Therefore, he decided to preemptively block any further attempts by Ban Jiho to bring up guidance in a probing manner. He couldn’t predict how much trouble Ban Jiho might cause while being so blindly devoted to Tae Ijae during their pairing.8d7c726b3fa913a0

Perhaps he had managed dda369ff6b to calm himself down, ae72cd8844 as Ban Jiho, who e6d20f5791 had been standing quietly 6f5d199568 with his arms crossed 8e5dd5de50 for a while, finally 148af0da4c looked at Kang Junwoo aa84d6640d and asked,6e9458417c311cea

Reassured by Kang Junwoo’s words, Ban Jiho no longer followed the assignments or picked fights every time he saw Kang Junwoo. Tae Ijae continued to be overtly kind to Kang Junwoo, and if Kang Junwoo treated Tae Ijae like he was invisible due to his excessive kindness, Tae Ijae would use humor to make him smile.d0f9759e57852f68

When a handsome man is determined to woo you, it’s hard not to be swayed. Especially since he had been smitten with Tae Ijae’s face even before knowing him well. With Tae Ijae wagging his metaphorical tail right in front of him, how could he possibly resist?2ac377ba1a1fd8c4

It felt like just yesterday when he boldly told Ban Jiho that he wouldn’t do anything with Tae Ijae. Yet, just the fact that Tae Ijae was looking at him, truly seeing him, made his heart race. He found himself helplessly reacting to every little thing—every conversation, every laugh over trivial matters, every act of care and kindness.2994917525fc2d9d

The fear of what to do if his feelings became overwhelming suddenly gripped him. It was a fear he hadn’t felt even with Han Dokyung, his first exclusive partner and lover. But somehow, it began to surface as he started liking Tae Ijae.721acafddc987b23

Perhaps it was only natural. After all, Tae Ijae didn’t like him the way Han Dokyung did.3cbe13487f5cd62b

Kang Junwoo reminded himself that the reason Tae Ijae was being kind to him was because of their exclusive guidance, and he steadied his heart as he recalled the look in Ban Jiho’s eyes. Each time Tae Ijae’s smile effortlessly crumbled his resolve, he rebuilt the fallen walls, only to have them collapse again and again. Despite this, his growing feelings for Tae Ijae, and his frighteningly straightforward emotions, became increasingly difficult to manage.b9e583254aa1ff07

In the past few days, Kang Junwoo hadn’t been able to help with any of the assignments. A pair guide couldn’t be of assistance to an Esper who didn’t receive guidance on the field. Even as Tae Ijae’s eyes slowly began to turn golden again.ee036a84ead4a5f9
