It was clear 2085945694 to anyone that 16e719d6d4 it was indeed 679a0326fe because of that. No matter how much 2bf03dd7a5 Tae Ijae tried to f8e0eda056 reveal his true feelings 326bdc5ff3 without making excuses, it bfd5b7b66b would ultimately be thought dc80595977 that he wanted Kang 55eb979877 Junwoo because of their 0d727c46dc incredible matching rate and d84de85249 the fact that he 7949716302 was the only one 3152120dbb who could provide acceptable 84aed654a7 guidance.02159ab33d142505
Tae Ijae stopped trying to explain his inner thoughts to Kang Junwoo and let out a deep sigh. He couldn’t let Kang Junwoo, who was as sensitive to sleeping arrangements as he was, sleep in a guest room without a bed. Tae Ijae told Kang Junwoo to sleep in the bedroom.d80f718461ae6dee

“I’ll pack and leave immediately, so sleep in your bed.”2a7da84655f644ad
After saying that, Tae 5956479d03 Ijae stood still for 53a76f444e a moment before turning 796dde0529 his head and heading 26543392dd to the dressing room. Kang Junwoo sat 05e57270e6 leaning against the 36033da91a guest room door, 1e041d5622 lost in thought b25c00fa2f for quite some a6cacdaeff time. He faintly cf815232e6 heard the 195b47afc8 sound of 07e233d991 Tae Ijae 7bf9b73d57 entering the 6eccadcc35 dressing room d7bfd556e9 and packing c120e9f09e his belongings d4e80a1c9e into a 6d4e6176c1 bag. He also 646782c803 heard him e881315b1d tell Habi 13b1e79e33 not to 3753992e75 be picky 0cbdfb252c and to 1044db6a3c stay well, 337c4caed6 adding a ea34637b64 hollow promise 81d4958311 to visit d399e0fcbd often—one he 49f83ace52 likely couldn’t 8c166cd44d keep.3a0ac0dc475929b1

The sounds of movement 088447b310 just outside the door 0ddcebc7e7 lingered quietly before fading 96db90b5a9 into soft footsteps.d7216e3be991c0a4
Sitting there, Kang Junwoo d5d9a697b5 listened to it all 8fe8d96914 in a daze, swallowing 6e60cd0339 dryly only when he 22d1aaf5a6 heard the front door 1c7b385062 open and close.2217316fe9dd9d9d

Slowly, he got 16fd6e45ee up and opened d728411add the guest room 4e3fcb8066 door.1d8242c4165201b5
He was worried about 4aab153b1a Habi being alone, and e1962f5622 he also wanted to 4e3aba30af confirm whether Tae Ijae 46f1fe44a2 had really left his cefe9dfa76 house.586392fed4bc8fb2

He hugged Habi, who ran to him, and patted his head as he headed to the dressing room. The place where Tae Ijae’s clothes and bag had been was now empty. Somehow, Kang Junwoo’s heart felt empty too. After standing in the dressing room for a while, Kang Junwoo turned and went into the bedroom. He placed Habi on the bed and lay down next to him, blinking his eyes.246f3e792079335c
It felt as if something had suddenly drained out of his body. A sense of emptiness, helplessness, and drowsiness enveloped him. He was tired. Kang Junwoo slowly closed his eyes. For a brief moment, he thought it might be okay if he never opened them again. If Habi hadn’t come to lie beside him, that brief moment might have stretched into quite a long time.55084dde1e777ac1

With the release from 8e9b4cf41b his exclusive contract and eb250c9772 a one-year disciplinary action, 09c36bf1ca Kang Junwoo realized one 6cbb7faf16 thing: all pain, sorrow, 48465d4d96 and hardships eventually fade 2217f0fe30 with time. Surely, this too ae19e411d2 would be healed 9529d7f9da by time. The sweet, dream-like 2344bbe8b9 summer nights he f509996d2f spent with Tae fe27e5e8b2 Ijae would naturally b1d92b66b6 be forgotten, and 4307179a50 in the end, 3246e737e9 all those things e78e69b890 would become nothing 313f6a90c0 more than past 239801b9c7 events.b5f45dff8bd7fa72

Kang Junwoo 2f673fbc86 repeated the cfa9f25748 phrase‘time heals a656f02ec1 all wounds’in his mind as 1c1de38f54 he headed to the 6d48ab56b4 center. After meeting with 0e45eb6b3b the director and 5c4c7d5f86 getting approval for c2b69e0ec1 the pair termination, d55f445b1c he returned to 6299d9e059 the guide room. As he was 255b23132e about to enter af99df3fac his room, Kim ba8ae6630a Junha, the guide 54f5cb125b from the next 9533b81785 room, acknowledged him.a79d56e501425aac

He thought he had e7cf25d9d0 clearly expressed his disinterest fd88e5f2e8 in continuing the conversation, ecfd1874af but Kim Junha followed 5e7a575466 him inside.

“How was it with Tae Ijae Esper? Is he as amazing as the rumors say?”1bfd8742c24d7e9c
The rumors about him being “amazing” were indeed just smoke without fire. Tae Ijae had told him that not only was sex new to him, but even kissing was a first, and Kang Junwoo didn’t think he would lie about that. So, all the stories about Tae Ijae’s prowess or technique were likely just figments of someone’s imagination.84b652c6e07787da

Of course, Kang Junwoo had experienced firsthand that those rumors weren’t entirely exaggerated, but he didn’t feel like explaining all that to Kim Junha, so he kept his mouth shut.0d06eb89ec362e7a

So, he 06dacca427 chose silence 623ab59e55 once again.3fc53b35319121ba
Sitting at his desk, Kang Junwoo turned on his computer and began writing the guide log he hadn’t been able to complete due to the pairing. Despite the sound of the keyboard filling the room, Kim Junha showed no intention of returning to his own space. Unable to hold back any longer, Kang Junwoo stopped typing and looked up at Kim Junha, who was staring at his computer.5a508ea154d2f135

“If it’s about Tae Ijae Esper, there’s not much to say. It was a short pairing period, and since he’s an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance, there’s really nothing noteworthy.”1f286694dc445de8
If he couldn’t explain in detail, it was better to lie. Kim Junha was loose-lipped, and Kang Junwoo wasn’t close enough with him to share detailed stories about himself and Tae Ijae. Just a colleague from the next room. Nothing more, nothing less.d09cc02e8b6a43c1

Kim Junha scratched his head awkwardly at Kang Junwoo’s slightly cold tone. “Ah, I see. Well, an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance wouldn’t really care about a pairing, right? Still, you did well. It’s nice to have you back.”0f6fc11351ba30a9

“Since you’re back, how about having a drink with our line guides tonight?”a40343cf554eb4fd
Accepting this offer would surely lead to a series of headaches. Most of the guides in the line were fans of Tae Ijae, and they wouldn’t miss the chance to bombard him with questions about his pairing with Tae Ijae. Kang Junwoo quickly shook his head, declining Kim Junha’s offer.deac79eb8612bf7b

“Yeah, true. It was always an expensive neighborhood. Ah, if I’d known, I would have visited Guide Kang Junwoo’s place too. We live in the same building, after all. Neighbors.”80f6785971dee47e
Most of the guides from the center lived in the same building, so calling them “neighbors” was a bit of a stretch. Kang Junwoo didn’t bother to refute the comment and simply lifted the corners of his mouth slightly. He just hoped Kim Junha would return to his room soon, focusing on writing his guide log.f24e1c5008fb6796

It wasn’t difficult to discover that Ban Jiho was the culprit. He had come to Tae Ijae on his own, expressing a desire to try guiding him. When Ban Jiho abruptly suggested that his guidance might also be acceptable, Tae Ijae asked what he knew and how much he knew. Ban Jiho replied that he was aware Tae Ijae had chosen Kang Junwoo as his pair because of a bet with Kwon Taerang. He also knew that the high compatibility rate with Kang Junwoo meant his guidance wasn’t unpleasant at all, and suggested that Tae Ijae try his guidance as well.5eee1f7f439c3a94
