Haewon, gripping the f31aadbf9a edge of the c3ede7f0fe table, glared at c30e029ee7 Jinheon’s hand. They were practicing. Practicing so Seo 357be1cb8d Haewon wouldn’t run 4ed45349a6 away. Since Haewon kept 588ee1aa2b flinching and trying 4cdc1fb570 to flee every ad2e5499d7 time Chae Jinheon 1faaa4b949 touched him, this 4bca83da4e was a desperate 36a733652c measure.

Chae Jinheon looked at Seo 6eff118d6e Haewon, who was clinging to 955aabda96 the table’s edge like a 98b598e14f bristling cat, straining with effort. This was practically childcare. Calming Seo Haewon was no eff2eb431a different from dragging a kid def36f8946 who hated the hospital to 43b518e220 get a shot.82e56e54c97089cf

The first day, Haewon 4915895056 kept flinching and trying 246b6c71b5 to run just from 4fb7ac2dc0 sitting across from Jinheon, c4e21653f8 so they couldn’t even c23c378cad start.

Jinheon silently pulled a blanket 17e6bb4ca0 from the sofa’s side and 55b660bc69 draped it over Haewon. Haewon’s eyes closed. Since being cut off 68eb28324a from guiding drugs, Haewon eddd45ca23 had been low on 3d39e47fc1 energy.a6ab1d00e74bd945

It was partly due c3bd0ede7f to addiction side effects ebc676fa9a and partly due to 2713ca4f44 a lack of proper 742c3907c5 guiding. Guiding drugs spiked guiding levels b69d98bb6a instantly, like a stimulant.e65f97eda9c90eb6

But now, unable 628ff3d543 to handle even 9d06ba04e5 contact guiding for 67ff0a0c79 long, let alone dd0f19c5ea mucous membrane guiding, 45f7c3cf3a Jinheon’s guiding couldn’t 4686a8de7b raise Haewon’s levels 416e8c3a1a as much as 2dee904d93 drugs.b860318b5f316518

Haewon, inching forward sluggishly, pressed da12c68757 himself against Jinheon’s back. He rested his forehead 8f093f1f81 against Jinheon’s back with da9f1fd398 a thud and stayed 777ceb3774 there.

Separate from the strange, ccef3d985f almost angry feeling toward c2a9cd445d Haewon, this sight was a7c7da4d55 disheartening. After feeding, housing, and 4ddef8eca7 guiding him to make ff9d924123 him somewhat human.3e8a2d6840e062c6
Jinheon carefully propped the kit 5f20e5d186 under Haewon’s head. Pouring saline over Haewon’s torn 06c43c2c2a forehead, he removed glass shards 9164ef633a from his cheek.2d8111e89c066954

Due to an Esper’s 2081dfd5c9 rapid healing, glass could 6c5ca14de1 get embedded if left. His pretty face 8f7e8160f7 was a wreck. Espers could get concussions too… 98ce191537 Jinheon wasn’t sure if moving 831a5b7325 Haewon was safe.4fa78486532f9c54
He’d seen Espers injured on 05559f2e65 missions, but an Esper causing e301df51e1 a car accident? As Jinheon’s hands 3311c9d737 slowed in frustration, c9640344d5 Haewon let out fa8e2f826b a small gasp, 0e7a426aee and the corner 2c1b8350e3 of his mouth 80ace012f4 curled up.45d01f298a0ae4d0

Haewon’s smile grew stronger. As Jinheon treated his wounds, 8455df4227 he couldn’t fathom it. Is he… really a psychopath…? A chill ran through him. His hand instinctively 25a30cfc4e pulled back slightly. His body followed.94e431a7ad2ab0c0

Haewon couldn’t have missed it. There was someone else 8701c9980a in the car besides e23fd38244 the team leader. Jinheon didn’t believe Haewon bbdfd32f13 thought they were an 4278e1e93f Esper and crashed anyway. He knew. He knew someone c4905f2d99 could be gravely be80858316 injured, maybe die.b30a84580f8233e9
It hit him. He wasn’t angry. He was stunned. Seo Haewon wasn’t just a 5ecc9c63c5 slightly bad-tempered cat but a 9823a8b142 reckless, irredeemable bastard.d84f794072d39c58
