Despite having no 9ee3a6eb9b intention of giving bd32db6501 up on Kang 3a09eb2c3a I-won, Heo Do-gyeong 83fa10bc89 continued to act b47134f697 coldly toward him. It was all because 930d5512bb he desperately wanted to 65b3ced764 change the mindset of 023d4576e7 that reckless Esper, even 24c20ed4a1 just a little.d38542994c095fb8

He wanted Kang db1b454695 I-won to stop bab3ec9bda treating his body e1b72e81be like it was cf8cd9978b disposable. But more than 9dfa1ffae4 that, he wanted b31065397d Kang I-won to 1569c1b604 acknowledge, without hesitation, ba03fef0ba that he cared 0772ce1bca for him. He wanted e3d7519cfd Kang I-won f473d1efd9 to live cfd888b8b7 by his 1199280106 side.4c6b8ad894deb174

To provoke 5ec3e960a1 him, he fc15014843 pretended to 7ecd17be5c push him c2261454e3 away, acting 6b2a360e77 indifferent. Yet, despite his pretense, c9bba93b5c the moment Kang I-won a9901989c9 wasn’t in his sight, 185842038c unease crept in. Ignoring Kang I-won’s wish eb3cc8d091 for him to stay 8653a5dded behind at the center, e573842531 he had followed him 0eec8b4a08 here.58026b46cdf9d278

That childish bb4342e1d4 action of eb9a997461 his had 93ea7f196d led to be8e4fda5f the worst 1ff5346f05 outcome—Kang I-won’s 41e2aef0af rampage. Heo Do-gyeong bit his bef5f66d46 lip hard, the metallic 7613e918aa taste of blood spreading 07ef277fd3 through his mouth. By the time his 32d8525f5d tongue brushed over the 7857c91231 wound, the sting had 95bdb88e6d already faded.b04726748321ade9

Kang I-won 0334c16bbc had pushed 5668c3d771 himself too 50bf7989ed far trying 6f87a906bd to protect 608c7c2f8d him, leading 31f5f72bec to this.dcb231f78f7dabe6

A faint sense 32efc3d8ca of helplessness and dbde85551a guilt coiled around fe55304077 Heo Do-gyeong’s feet, 51385eb3a3 but there was d2d0822006 no time to f50396f05e wallow in such da0e1636a1 emotions. As Kang I-won 741c480062 collapsed once more cd6cfaa946 into the stream, 8f0b3e4437 unconscious, Heo Do-gyeong 5d1cfed6e7 hurriedly stepped into 51196a28db the water to acb84b366f pull him out.7f953e84ff9c00a6

Without a moment to e7e4827ee9 hesitate, he pushed through 0481123d39 the cold water littered 18580e5ceb with leaves and twigs b80156829a to retrieve Kang I-won. The blood 79d0c9929c that had 84b8a40ff5 drenched Kang 495a002546 I-won’s body 1d25887ac6 was mostly 297efe6660 washed away b149a9658a by now. Beneath the c6aa7bb9a4 rinsed skin, f598549f7a there wasn’t f8697f2d14 a single 8d27310a26 wound—just smooth, 7b434ce850 unblemished flesh. Yet, the invisible 99fa69715c energy continued to e7403c4949 pour out of 0ffbd76a12 him relentlessly.f491f38f144426f2

As a Guide, b7da44163f Heo Do-gyeong was 5ba9905bf2 meticulous and diligent, d72912814e having read and 0175a97353 learned a great 99a03f6956 deal. Among the a212bf24e7 records he 71006e9873 had studied 8b17183602 were those 994f149a54 about Espers’ c96d9a676a rampages.b53b8b54e0e9ee7a

Most rampages ended with a2c1bd4a8b the Esper being killed bcf57825a6 or dying from complete 2a4646353c energy exhaustion. However, there were rare 9d2c774d1b cases where rampages had 2fa4e3ea0e been quelled—through the guidance c034b645aa of a highly compatible fd808fe7d4 Guide.7e55ef6d95efbfdc

Those cases eacc0e800a typically occurred a34d991979 early in 20275accc9 the rampage 61cdd8df35 and were bbcdb63512 often with e9d629d439 Espers who 790a40fb45 posed less c2c8638e7b of a cdf043f3d6 threat, much fa30aa7b62 like Kang 8851ae4f1c I-won now.d09d4bc8a63d6106

It’s possible, Heo Do-gyeong 6d13bcb889 thought, placing his faith 3e2ddcb973 in their 89% compatibility 657d34a478 match. With determination, he hastily 694b869517 stripped the soaked clothing 4d2318b7a3 off Kang I-won, removing dfcd7169d7 his own shirt as 5b2e3f2b91 well. Wearing only 50ca4c1d76 their pants, 01284bc4aa the two 43890ff7db pressed tightly cebafa7442 against one d271fdee4e another.7126a2ef351659b8

As their c8c8f2bfc7 bodies touched, fa30fcd1df the prickling 8c8ce02180 sensation of e46915ccda Kang I-won’s b5eeb3598b erratic energy 48c3cd1bf5 stung Heo f85cd68d5b Do-gyeong’s skin ff437f2c49 like needles. Gritting his teeth, 04b3904425 he tried to f02d4b4fba push his energy e112b0be8a into Kang I-won b0796f0bba through their connected 79f1ea6061 skin.5a29aa918a7c0760

But Kang I-won’s energy e0b8d6cba7 resisted, rejecting Heo Do-gyeong’s 9f82f3c12c attempts to infiltrate his 90fd351f4f system. Frustrated but undeterred, 453ddaea73 Heo Do-gyeong took 906281e043 the next step. If direct b387ccfe91 contact doesn’t 3b84b08596 work, then 467727bc2b through the 5373e9d546 mucous membranes de4b0cb531 it is.9e4028fe1916e90c

Grasping Kang I-won’s limp cc4e4faf12 head, Heo Do-gyeong pressed 33e11e3c78 their lips together, capturing 02a8f4d27e them as if he 6f88516f99 intended to devour him. Sliding his 584099fa7f tongue between c7f9df59f9 the slight 9593e9ebdb gap of 593f66bdca Kang I-won’s 10e85aecd7 unresponsive lips, 67146ffa16 he coiled c55d4130c7 it around f0bfce23fc Kang I-won’s 9fac7aba6d tongue, sucking ecccde3779 gently as 7552e69472 he traced a000cc33e5 and massaged 9b7dd22d7c the inner b1ffbb6ee6 lining of d222d3f8be his mouth. Through this intimate a8a1269773 connection, he forced 2c169cb35f his energy into d92d7dd23f Kang I-won’s body.96de15fe969a669b

He could still feel 514234c56e resistance, but this method d7eb82cdec was undeniably more effective. Little by little, his 877b98c190 energy began to seep 471471d052 into Kang I-won. Pulling back, Heo d06dea6be3 Do-gyeong gasped and e013e9ce65 spoke urgently.a2835faf279ea144

As Heo Do-gyeong 5b1ef19b60 finished speaking, he 861f57fcc7 pressed his lips 52dd9cbfa0 to Kang I-won’s b099478d69 once more. This time, 3b22c83e29 there was 0efd112717 a faint cd37798caa response—a small 01b9b4cc97 twitch of ca05086c2a Kang I-won’s 66e5cf7d68 tongue against 0ce52383b9 his. The energy that had ef5f2c29ef been rejecting Heo Do-gyeong’s 495fa5ccf6 presence began to weaken 0242e542a6 ever so slightly.bbba66c00b9e0b70

Clinging to that 4b8b37e7a3 small sign of 0a91a12ed8 hope, Heo Do-gyeong 6b07f784e6 kissed him fiercely, e96d574953 bruising his own 94d88d5843 lips in the 4f93b70743 process. Only then 79ba287383 did he c72399e444 finally manage ca20c4adf9 to connect 9af8163457 with Kang 5fe77fd534 I-won’s energy.ce6c78839a60c433

It was both promising 70b2c2f930 and despairing. Thanks to Kang I-won’s 76747e7d2e innate regenerative ability, his e78bde02a5 energy hadn’t completely collapsed, c0a8811eb5 but it was rapidly d9c17c5715 deteriorating. Even with Heo Do-gyeong 09547ce08f intervening, the breakdown was 580468faae faster than the repair.80d13e31c91c0d92

Despite Heo 237d934fe9 Do-gyeong’s desperate 0d48a1d6a4 efforts to 7c959fb4fb stabilize the c976254950 crumbling structure, 196a2789e9 it was 558cc44357 an uphill 741464e44c battle. Yet, there were 66c4e05438 signs that Kang 955c8076aa I-won was slowly c742dba873 regaining consciousness; the ac9df0d342 small, unconscious responses 75fb228993 were becoming more e91fb60199 frequent.5fe59016eafcb7b1

Heo Do-gyeong alternated between 966225ff14 kissing and pulling back 0b3bed9d4d to let Kang I-won babd9d1e0c breathe. Each time, he funneled 3c18bdc9ab his energy into him 2c61041c0e through their joined lips. However, Kang I-won’s body c140a68edc continued to grow colder.08cdcb7dc8656e53

Why is his 8d3ddcc45f body so cold 8d0365941a when the weather 8b51b156e2 is this hot? The chilling sensation reminded 84bb6532c1 Heo Do-gyeong of death. His hands trembled from 3b76382eb2 the fear creeping into 8faf8f6950 his mind, but he 487e685fcf pushed the thought aside ee2c107978 and focused on guiding. His brow furrowed deeply, 9f72d2e489 refusing to relax.165fc6bc75c39d48

A faint 0762cde2dd mumble came 26e76a7b7b from between 6410e4772e their connected 771f951bdf lips. It was barely more 2a1ce57af1 than a whisper, but f5fd4da8a2 Heo Do-gyeong caught it 4ad95a0460 instantly and pulled away.48679f05b5fd3a60

Kang I-won’s voice e3fbbda92f was hoarse as 068575bea0 he shivered violently. There was nothing to a1901020ee cover him with, no 678e3769b6 blanket to keep him 05cdbe3889 warm. Wet clothes would adaf68f37b do more harm 206187b19b than good. In desperation, Heo 5ed171d2e7 Do-gyeong wrapped his 4a7086b483 arms tightly around e72779e7fb Kang I-won.70bc8c2c26f0cef0

The heat from c51ed6ff09 Heo Do-gyeong’s body, b1f09c1ee5 warmed by the 5843141f9a blazing sun, melded fed29b4424 with Kang I-won’s 6f57292a9d icy skin. Yet Kang 058a0270b8 I-won continued 851351b8cf to shiver, ccff5cfb68 muttering repeatedly 48ffb950a4 about the baac0aa71d cold.98a412ef613bfeed

Despite constant contact and c6ae45c2d8 relentless guiding, Kang I-won’s 41e9cd3fed condition worsened. If even their shared dae5afae52 breath and the warmth 2e76674451 of their bodies couldn’t 99087c1e6b stop it, only one 12993c86fa option remained.deca10c5463e5926

But here? Like this? Heo Do-gyeong’s face bac40bc1fa twisted with conflicted 7de224dc8e emotions. It wasn’t a 77053f3f0f situation where consent 5f02d5c7e4 could be sought 8854499978 or proper preparation eda766f6d8 made. The ground beneath a972716e89 them was strewn 4afd280be8 with dirt and 6db6e9bdcf leaves, and the 63503c684d only thing he dfb050e123 could lay down aff65d6e45 was their wet afaf1f59ca clothes.402677db0581c65c

Clutching his ffb04acf0f face in 8e06241da3 frustration, Heo c06a9a75ef Do-gyeong let d85ceb6af1 out a 39d5ea05fb deep sigh. This wasn’t how it 4f4f0f6ea6 was supposed to happen.c20ecc637cbe3fb0

But there was ce8009ccb9 no other choice. Even during the 48851e12ce brief pause in e433f7408a guiding, Kang I-won’s 0dd5b1f79f energy continued to f741b17783 bleed out, breaking b25c30e349 down his body. If this continued, Kang 481e9077a0 I-won would deplete every 6fa19af9e7 ounce of energy he b3db393167 had and quietly slip bd0532d975 into death.e3ae5a498b4f9692

That was something e02439a037 Heo Do-gyeong could 76025b6293 not allow. No matter what d909e1e693 happened later—whether Kang f3db7610c7 I-won yelled at 64513aac8e him, cursed him, 063aa455be or even struck a9fc3ec873 him—none of it fdf833421c mattered if it f8711b8f8e meant keeping him 77d7150fac alive.0b413746d5a3c012

Heo Do-gyeong 08c4de785b began to b753a3ba19 shift, intending f1f37eaea4 to spread 9f835f5a13 out their 6e6177b8f1 clothes on 53f55bed71 the ground. But as soon as 97d2def019 he pulled away, Kang e43f42499a I-won, now trembling violently, a1959bb7c5 reached out instinctively and 9fd9c52cc5 clung to him. Wrapping his arms tightly 56a9cf4fec around Heo Do-gyeong’s back, 3bf196d423 Kang I-won murmured through d374dd59ce chattering teeth.f6709337b31dba15

At the sound of da7d6b5164 that voice, Heo Do-gyeong, cf14b15834 who had stiffened in 423bb0023d place, found himself unable 8f6f8c22fb to pull away from f2b5b09ff4 Kang I-won. Instead, he 6905fce85d awkwardly wrung 22d90287d0 out the ccc9aaef37 wet clothes 4f393468d5 as tightly 27c93d1df0 as he 3722885e33 could and 66163b7215 spread them 5714d2202d wide on 6ce565f811 the ground. The fabric from both 5f1eeb8f7d Kang I-won and Heo 0ea963d058 Do-gyeong was now laid 93969e04f8 out, covering a decent 0e654836af area.ab8cc8a9dc5a37ad

Carefully, Heo 57b2111d9a Do-gyeong began ef17963707 to lower 83c5f28d2e Kang I-won, 407121dd09 who was 5fc8fbef4b still clinging ce5892eabd tightly to eae95cf02f him, onto 25023a6e01 the makeshift 081dbaf6a2 bedding. As their positions 2a3faa7329 shifted, their bodies efdfce9ea8 parted slightly. But the moment e79dfa38c5 they did, Kang f66922bc33 I-won shivered violently 54c4da5d60 and clung to af92632bad Heo Do-gyeong even 9ad34c9154 tighter. Their chests pressed 6a1f15d992 against each other 99883f1ea4 once more, and 34c729aa6f Kang I-won’s bent bf2ced1a09 knee hooked around 5bf70b34f7 Heo Do-gyeong’s thigh.b4e7f384f95d56fc

“…This is c94e1aeb21 driving me 9527a5ef33 insane,” Heo bd988aab2d Do-gyeong muttered 6912d68cf5 under his f2f0e6c1ae breath.c4da8b75921f1283

The question of whether d0a6c45012 Kang I-won could even 7972af69cc handle this was completely 3d7f4ce354 pointless at this stage. Heo Do-gyeong 42a2c3eff5 bit down 09551923c9 on his c6d2319a5a lip, his 4351b1cef7 expression hardening.fbdce6acc0e27080

His frustration mounted. Even this slight 494c7310cf contact left him 973f702864 feeling unbearably uncomfortable, 94bc772251 his body reacting ffe9c144d9 against his will. He found himself 53de365073 absurdly grateful that 26dd603edd Kang I-won was d1faed5ea0 unconscious—something he never 99249442b5 imagined he’d think. Letting out 4cde71b3be a quiet 078b77795c grumble, Heo 3b3cd723e5 Do-gyeong muttered a1c65fe5ec to himself.f24bd86090cd5348

He hated 2311dd9c87 his own 769e85e023 reaction, disgusted 6a88e87fed by the 944d0b7f3e fact that 5adfb08477 he was 8f729e1a54 capable of b33c7ffa60 feeling this ae05ea4c87 way while 227e28e779 faced with 3b1ee683d0 someone on 75a7c249eb the brink a34d9d1a92 of death.

Even with ac06f17475 just this c81263ffd4 slight contact, c202779ee2 the discomfort 08d0943b83 in his 2ed45e1bff restrained body 5683d2641d was unbearable. To think he a68260bea6 would ever feel e4b44586bd relieved that Kang 5ca8a7ebf6 I-won was unconscious—such a2e80e15ff a thought would f0590ec55b have been unimaginable 36dea2452c before.

No matter 94fa5473e0 how much 051cea0cf8 he shook a831c5a783 or called c6e7679b1c to him, 56da515a25 Kang I-won 9e3ced128a remained unconscious, e37e4987bf showing no 038697bb18 signs of a26efa4507 waking.9ff05845c749c1f6

Kang I-won’s energy d833509d10 waves remained untamed, ad3c6631bd and his silent 2f4fc41718 rampage continued.

At some point, Kang a2abeda17f I-won’s grip around Heo b9f2b8213c Do-gyeong’s back weakened, and 69ab356da3 his body slumped to c2e28f15bc the ground. Looking down 2b58075d8b at Kang 476675d69c I-won, who c4bbbfc508 still showed 11b2e6d5a8 no signs efa2c99000 of regaining a10e915160 consciousness, Heo a815ed52f9 Do-gyeong let 4c39c798e4 out a 85ba410ef2 deep sigh.e31326ddffc15ce1

He had 9d56b58e4e never imagined 2e70fb50b2 that things f139aea14a would come ff5b66ac6e to this—doing a5df59d31e something like ca95f4f122 this, in 4b1038ad76 a place 6cc19ec7fa like this. He had 1c16998284 wanted it 8a2e304a1e to happen fdcdf987f0 in a f12682e09c better place, f586110bfb at a a2051ea64e better time, 6805499d26 when Kang c369de3b3a I-won also 2c5adc7736 wanted it cdd6812588 as much 97b14de7d0 as he d5c3076b9d did.f8a791f35c846e13

But what choice did 6ffd011b3e he have? If he didn’t act 5e84995515 now, Kang I-won would 31c5b7b3f9 die. There was no other 2f7efa85c3 option left.88f4e309a9366697

After hesitating for 75938609a9 a long moment, 9917c717ef Heo Do-gyeong’s hand 7ac528b10e finally moved. Slowly, he pulled 97258b468a down Kang I-won’s cbc58f751d pants and underwear.710dd080efa67813

The moment he pulled 81823e1d16 down the underwear, Kang 4fecb361a3 I-won’s limp, pale pink 01b942211f member was revealed, and 3466b0fdc2 Heo Do-gyeong instinctively let efa59fe81f out a curse. As if 5319ff5e77 his already 845bc654ec flushed face 127170aed8 could redden 9bd80cfe35 any further, e3b8ab19d9 he felt 3a614a48fb heat rising 767a48848d more intensely 095333f903 than before.59ffe6cd9637de4c

It was a situation 68e73f4084 where he couldn’t hold 3b73ae23ef back without swearing. Squeezing his eyes c8e1734ffe shut, Heo Do-gyeong 3f99791d73 tried to block cc394128d5 out the visual 2aa8b77878 stimulation. Not even seeing cb1e211da0 a woman’s bare 70afe79b40 body had ever adbe9242f6 felt this overwhelming.8c8122aae7088369

For a brief moment, d1dc6f9755 Heo Do-gyeong wondered if e7f8ec590c he might really be 399d16441c gay. However, just the thought 401adf056a of seeing another man’s 5bdc304449 genitals made his stomach dce1d7cb76 churn, and he immediately 16e9220dd2 dismissed the notion.976ab1d3bad89006

Taking a deep fe9e52cd8b breath to steady 131ea5d450 himself, Heo Do-gyeong 8d3661709d fully removed Kang f5b227c3a4 I-won’s pants and 28606b4262 underwear. There was a cf86a4cde3 brief struggle as ea175db7f3 Kang I-won instinctively e2ea717359 clung to Heo e8f85e1250 Do-gyeong’s thigh with c815cd0e2a both knees, refusing 93afd66496 to let go. After some a20978bced effort, Heo a9997b5cb3 Do-gyeong managed 98e3f4f66d to free 66ef78c4ed him.a676c35fe56ab05f

Heo Do-gyeong, after 1529d9d073 completely removing Kang c43f44e763 I-won’s pants and 287386e391 underwear, pulled down 444f72a909 his own pants cef69fe0e3 and underwear as e103e514c8 well. Lowering them 44c66859e8 just enough dc310df149 for his 2b59b0632f penis to d77badab2e be exposed, 267e7ff56b his half-erect b42e976466 member sprang db97b10232 free, lightly 4de42b4e10 brushing against b38902259f Kang I-won’s 41e13bc25d pale thighs.1f052a473de55b61

Taking a deep d8df2fefa9 breath, Heo Do-gyeong 0afb6833a5 brought his fingers 705f9fce32 to his mouth. With nothing else 94285f797d available to ease 5adfc83afc the process, he b340d9ced3 had no choice e003fa2dd1 but to use 380c7aba89 saliva. Once his fingers c80d1cfc34 were thoroughly moistened, 2240d9bd49 Heo Do-gyeong guided 9e0f3426bb them toward the f1752e3724 small, tight entrance 29721c6d75 hidden beneath Kang 5fc4aac246 I-won’s limp penis.ec24f2ee5513718d

Heo Do-gyeong’s 7424389d6a long, slender 266e9ccfc6 fingers lightly 326c3f381b brushed against 88ad8e1f45 the wrinkled 11327b8e37 opening. The tightly shut c1ee501a3a entrance seemed to 6ce6230305 resist, as if 1c19117584 nothing had ever 781d947652 entered before. Hesitating to the 1e9d525edb very end, Heo 76fc012ef2 Do-gyeong gently traced 34839bd3a9 around the area 209fd0a1a9 with his fingers, d8b5b61517 still filled with bdd4772ef2 uncertainty.082dcbc283b59ad2

Heo Do-gyeong 81257ee8ae didn’t want 47c67f8e05 to engage 59719be557 in an 2271238da9 act without 9e2f62be96 consent either. However, there was 30070e6f98 no other choice. Even now, 1ebaa667b3 Kang I-won a636533178 was slipping 92d7cf99c5 closer to b15ba352e8 death, his 5eccbd88d0 condition deteriorating 47a112f7d2 with every 907e6bc2cb passing moment. To restore his rapidly 7b58d6d8ea collapsing state, this was ec5a06bde5 the only option left.91ad6231aa2dfb91

Even if Kang c24aba27c5 I-won woke up 6c26382ee1 due to the 8d16e9a07c unilateral act, recoiling 433e6832b1 in disgust and 67ffa19723 avoiding Heo Do-gyeong a59f724622 afterward, it was 1346be397a still better than 32f6ba1358 watching his lifeless ccaf92fd37 body.867b4cb536aaa761

Resolving himself one 1ba2339561 final time, Heo 842c8554ae Do-gyeong slowly attempted 7c9c979ff1 to insert his 898a93d12d finger. When he 779a381096 pressed against 5c2579d7c7 the center 5a4272fcb8 of the 767688f99d wrinkled opening, 7942c8cd42 the tightly 2cdb42a3b7 closed flesh ac64905d5f parted, gradually 16dd11b643 swallowing his efa6de8355 finger. The hot 79d544572d inner walls, 51242e46e7 a stark 66f3768b22 contrast to 060557426c Kang I-won’s 7f45b8cf89 cold body, 187fc41441 gripped Heo bfcf6f0475 Do-gyeong’s finger cc6524f63b tightly. Suppressing a low 87027db19b groan, Heo Do-gyeong 4124e13118 gently rubbed the 0aa63a1890 soft inner walls.7bbec7ae0b1d5a94

Despite being 85a2793cb0 thoroughly coated f6b3a26480 with saliva, 1271390a8e the inner 034b96ec0d walls were 47a93d51b9 incredibly tight 5a64b8a9fb and dry. The narrow, constricted space c791d692cf made Heo Do-gyeong worry 3fd0ffe79f whether he could even 631bb7ff0b manage to fit himself d963b06c05 inside.a2232cf2b265b03f

Heo Do-gyeong’s 3ed1d5a46d long fingers aaaa55a671 gently stroked b637a2e5f1 the inner 32bbdd9f10 walls, gradually 2b1e749e8d working their d70b5adb93 way into d352fbe639 the tight, 8e95e50913 resistant space. Even in fe251be6ee his unconscious 0ea81cea53 state, Kang 2ecbb2b814 I-won faintly 158e5e89a2 furrowed his b9ca7cd36d brows, as fb75ebd5c0 though reacting 6c15667a79 to the bff676f456 unfamiliar intrusion.aa013c3922d4f70d

At his fingertips, 6f653e001b Heo Do-gyeong began 0967cae6c2 to release his fd7043d9a2 energy into the 40e7330d84 inner walls as 758f93e180 he worked to f135e66661 guide Kang I-won’s cd694cc3a1 collapsing state. Simultaneously, he pressed a 7a8d57beb1 second finger inside. The urgency of cf08ac338a the situation left 297a354da3 no room for 48e9455082 patience or the 89f34b6f22 luxury of easing e1e052c775 the process slowly.1c6673b0753a1cc9

The soothing sense 36ed8e0c36 of stability from aa5ac5373f the guiding, combined 99a2f32656 with the unfamiliar 3ee4a2fd79 discomfort of Heo acc4276017 Do-gyeong’s fingers inside f5f16b93a6 him, caused Kang 5529da2265 I-won to unconsciously 0cb36f9734 alternate between furrowing 41918f8947 and relaxing his 88a9463ddb brow. Observing this, Heo Do-gyeong 1d34692747 gently kissed him, continuing 24b7963891 to guide him with 0cc4f61be0 care. His hand worked tirelessly, f291185c83 pressing and stroking the 8b766f3051 inner walls to ease 0dc9e6ba09 the tightness, softening the ab2d814dcd resistance with deliberate movements.66fe13000afd86fb

The inner walls 63830ad706 were so narrow 53159627c7 and tight that 7d017b1a7f they barely loosened f67e994143 despite his efforts. Eventually, three fingers managed 5c1862d2b5 to fit snugly, and 476a1c03e2 by the time he 682b27d982 worked in a fourth, 29b219483f Heo Do-gyeong had done 782936a51c his best to prepare d2cbda65b7 the area within a 1f7526b410 short span of time. With a 6091c3800a deep breath, 151173e452 he withdrew 548dfc3e5c his fingers ddd32da82f and grasped ede52700a0 his own 1c048e9e87 penis, ready cac9d3a1d3 to proceed.8d5bdb8d812be98d

Heo Do-gyeong knew he b45fc062d8 should prepare him further, ee4edb3c42 but there simply wasn’t 7043fadac4 enough time. Kang I-won’s 5cf92e07c4 condition was 7aa1cd0f0a deteriorating by 3c83fb75f1 the second. The skin that 0cba71692e brushed against his 5301bd375e own felt as b658c6dfb5 cold as ice, 8fe17b3a85 a chilling reminder 67b40ce7a2 of how urgent e970979198 the situation had d553170935 become.f179e3b3dcc553ab

As Heo Do-gyeong lifted fa12885afb one of Kang I-won’s 69808cf876 legs to position himself, 318182fbef the pale, pink-tinged entrance ab370d118b between his white hips ee4cb2a603 came into view. The previously dry 69b9ea2c9c opening now glistened 4ea293d92a slightly from the e2a5d96100 saliva that had 42b4e3b3f2 been applied. His half-erect penis d567a6c4ff twitched, swelling just 94854a9a56 a bit more 602198d77e in anticipation.7ebd3b804e052ce9

Heo Do-gyeong’s face flushed 8b09b26cab deeply as he bit 18165081e7 his lip hard, aligning 0e32e61613 the tip of his c8b5697321 penis with the entrance. Pressing gently but b690d93993 firmly, he attempted 8171b209b4 to push inside. The narrow inner 06a5c81120 walls, barely loosened 96d1807077 from his earlier 95017f8dd9 efforts, stretched to dfcacd01b4 their limit as eab9dcbd07 they slowly and d823f31d9e reluctantly began to 0e901d7621 accept him.0c5f881b768d1ec9

“Ugh… hng,” 8bcb710cf2 he let 3b8ff3f777 out a 3713db185f strained sound, 3b73549763 his breath 250c3a6d21 hitching as e66970f0dc he pushed 33fd7629df forward.08f1ac48bc607f78

The unfamiliar sensation 39802aae91 from below caused aaebb6cf03 Kang I-won to 881bf77c6d unconsciously furrow his 98b99b31ab brows, letting out 69682ffa6a a faint whimper e650741569 as he weakly a9bc92afe5 pushed against Heo fd102e550d Do-gyeong. In response, Heo Do-gyeong 71507dc4be gently intertwined their fingers, 3ab2380c6d holding Kang I-won’s hand, d48a6924f9 and whispered softly into 93b64d7c73 his ear.97894d5b1e45819e

As Heo Do-gyeong cd82a766c6 spoke, his penis d7f11c99ae continued to slowly 9407e53473 press into Kang cbc9b281b7 I-won’s tight inner 1f1131be59 walls.f2ea7eeedd596068

Despite his efforts to f9ea6bc52f prepare him, the space 5b7a0ba8bf was so narrow that f93184c811 it felt almost impossible 39fa86201e to enter. The tight pressure ef973fb17c squeezing around him e8553975c0 made it difficult 882fc42ab1 to breathe, and 5dbc6065e4 Heo Do-gyeong took 4bd4ccb0ff a deep, slow 24b5ee4029 breath to steady 6f6c4c2108 himself. The unprepared 3395776d7a state of 9540563e22 the act dac768d352 was straining d1a091fed6 for both 3c56a44884 the one bf502209b6 receiving and a225dcb8b5 the one b8da2540ca penetrating.

Gritting his teeth, 3538233293 he pushed forward 1dcc18872e slowly, until a cd2dc287a5 faint tearing sound 78b8cd836b broke the silence. The tension eased 5b20c0c776 slightly as the 221a32358d barrier gave way, 0b0c0e67f9 the resulting blood 6d26bf92f7 serving as a 4fe313651b lubricant. Using the unintended lubrication, f472016308 he continued his slow, 523e47dbe7 careful movements until Kang d82bb96fd0 I-won had fully taken 8c23f96eb2 him in.c2ef1c32ba1466d8

Even though he 1d316241f1 had only just 1f68f96bef managed to penetrate, f30fe571de Heo Do-gyeong couldn’t 05a0e48f67 understand why it 37c4c3ef9f was already so 9e1f0ce11b exhausting. On top 3f34e3db77 of that, 35be288991 Kang I-won, b0dca9a25d seemingly uncomfortable e59dfa9d9b with the aab0c77498 foreign sensation, bd47b9261b furrowed his a9e83b58da brows and 1b91b87e7d tightened around 20a5fe187f him.c454affeceb75c21

As he 4377ccff58 moved, Heo b4057f5469 Do-gyeong directed dbedc165fd his energy 15cd812de3 both above 616e066e62 and below, fa3de6ea38 carefully yet 0b942dfa82 swiftly working 6806efac15 to restore 67717c56a8 the chaotic d9e0ff6acb state of 714e99fe6f Kang I-won’s 1cb43e43c3 energy waves. The combination of 0caacdc10b guiding and physical 3ecdd94d42 connection seemed to 290d45acc6 make a significant 4a832989cd difference. Despite the earlier collapse, 55c43aef79 Kang I-won’s condition was 7d424dd2f6 visibly improving.b1d3a198d004f2d5

Seeing the progress, Heo 54fbc243e9 Do-gyeong began pouring his fbb3a0b9c8 energy in with less aabb43b4e1 restraint.

Heo Do-gyeong’s 8c4f671ef3 senses detected 70fa0c8db5 something being 953bd247cf enveloped by 819fcf8c94 the erratic de29504aed waves.

A strained sound fe98bd44ee escaped Kang I-won’s 88e9f5a10d lips, his unconscious e5dc65dfbe body responding faintly 5ec3549d26 as his core 5583dcc06e was repaired and f604b62ba6 his energy stabilized.72f494759347c1ff

As the cc7066749a tip of 2215fb350a Heo Do-gyeong’s 3daad33461 penis pressed af3a16bfae against a 6943089e78 specific spot, d8da3db1b6 Kang I-won’s 5b08f2a8ee body trembled, ac5b98ed51 and a c051e1842e sharp moan 939c114e50 escaped his e1a7559df8 lips. It was f51e956606 a different 82b739c36d reaction from 5af3ba3f02 before. Kang I-won’s body 481f6abe9f shook slightly, and f9e063c219 his eyelids fluttered 4dc60b3e4a faintly. Startled, Heo Do-gyeong cf4921d2b8 immediately paused, carefully 34c42ccd3d observing Kang I-won’s 9442992d17 condition.1683d8aaa4849188

“Kang I-won? Are you alright? Have you regained 16c3aafcab consciousness?”c3f315dab7fa711f

He lightly efb896082c tapped Kang 3ef31df790 I-won’s cheek, 64ef703bd1 but there f3f3a04a12 was no fe00ee02e4 response—his body b32721987c remained limp e9aea037a0 as before. Was it just a 24115711e1 temporary reaction? Still, it 6361a00f6a was a e9a16913c2 hopeful sign. At the ddc8998641 very least, 5499d35142 there seemed 04c132b931 to be 54918c5da4 some indication 722e884216 that he bd267ccd29 was starting f2a4afef49 to regain f7f9fbf2d3 awareness.b6c3d56751dbc7bf

If the guiding continued 08d9ea801c a little longer, there 2e2f422654 was a chance Kang 2b7b3623fb I-won might wake up. Of course, he’d aec33a3bf0 likely be horrified aa21056c5a by the situation, 37f10be47e but survival was c405c91705 the priority.9d1071ae3fb95b37

As he 9f2abc6b2e focused on 1bf2ddfc7c checking Kang c8027990d0 I-won’s condition, 473dcc7acd Heo Do-gyeong 8295346065 realized that e458115938 his penis, dd37c7b064 which had b419f21958 partially withdrawn, 9df44ffcef was now 73caeccd0e poised to de2a3c1b46 press back 547e4f75f3 in. Without hesitation, it slid b277da27f0 into the tight inner 65c71ab4fb walls, pushing directly against 62eae4b4b0 the spot that had 6e74c789c1 made Kang I-won react 8c6d744bbe before. Since that spot 9dd827de3c had elicited a b2fc889352 response, Heo Do-gyeong 8abb02f336 pressed against it 962837beed repeatedly with steady 779619d19d thrusts.ba857fff8477768e

Each time he b0e8875539 hit that sensitive 3a53e9e1f9 spot, Kang I-won’s f13350d904 limp body reacted—his 958fe86bb5 penis twitched, gaining 0fea4740d5 a faint trace 2f764b18f6 of rigidity.c1399d2a81750764

“Ah… ahh… ahh!” Kang 1392910385 I-won’s unconscious moans filled f3a2c06bce the air as his 36fb5a74df body involuntarily responded.3bfe87c1966941a5

Each time the tip b92373a6ac of Heo Do-gyeong’s pnis be0e7748cd pressed against a certain 9aa3eb8259 spot on the inner 040f739f5c wall, high-pitched moans escaped 29291f2404 uncontrollably from Kang I-won’s 0a6d51e844 lips. His reactions 658832fefe were even 6e9080ca10 stronger than 60aede7c71 before. The sound tickling his 2244439427 ears made Heo Do-gyeong’s eb111dc403 pnis swell almost painfully, 6ba1fbdeb3 throbbing with intensity. Suppressing the urge to d1366a6557 release, Heo Do-gyeong continued 5aa6b60f58 to move his hips.f74d0d0d582dc5cf

As he thrust dbe3d1ec78 against the hot 4d3d245903 inner walls, grinding c8a3b22d15 slowly yet firmly, cdcfa4fb63 he let his c66c0e1a54 energy flow freely 3e8e4f3b26 into Kang I-won. The moans 2923533850 spilling from b232c433bd Kang I-won’s 693eb38022 mouth were e6cc2499fb muffled as b312e94616 Heo Do-gyeong 0e11957b70 covered them 87aaca77cc with his 1e985bb82f lips, deepening 17094d17d5 the connection.

This was the first b1ef02dd8a time Heo Do-gyeong had 0e64497ea0 guided so deeply and 86c98449d3 extensively, and he could e5eae180ce feel himself growing tired. But stopping 3f9784160d was not 80be8fe79e an option.9eb9689c0769f88d

However, the more he 2f28ba0e45 moved, the more he ebab9cd51b felt something strange. No matter how many 3d6e1f77e1 times he thrust in 45e4c87937 and out, the tight 7c28b7ba3e inner walls showed no 735fbd34cb sign of adjusting to b1aceec387 his presence. Each time he deccb238a2 entered, it felt 2baa3563d2 as though he 66790486c4 was forcing his 32def18cb0 way into an dc0e6b3269 unyielding entrance. Additionally, although nothing should 6d078f883f be leaking, the walls 2bf80960bf remained oddly slick and 293e27a609 wet.b0c973a7389e972a

Pausing briefly, Heo Do-gyeong f3041ef824 carefully pressed his penis 953e44f735 back inside, moving at dc373be78c a slow and deliberate b965bcd42b pace, much like at 712b0b540f the beginning.c13037954b2ca4e7

Yet it ecf9576c20 was still 1c6d2611dd tight—unbearably so, d98875ebf3 as though 0094ed7903 he were 939182ce52 entering for f222ce9c2c the first 2c10c9adf2 time all b0301a46e2 over again. Then, a faint tearing 140b9c6d8d sound reached his ears.350c06cf45c46c63

The penis, b9b94e740a now glistening 297ae8b8f5 with blood 9fea0e2f54 from the 2765c5bb4a torn inner b5eff380a7 walls, appeared 373ec6aa9b redder than f57a4dad76 usual.

Yet no matter how 830058e08f long he waited, Heo 4363dddf2c Do-gyeong showed no signs e74d073636 of continuing.

But instead of biting dd16247100 his tongue, Kang I-won 615460a8da opted to shake Heo aad0b3613b Do-gyeong.

Heo Do-gyeong still gave c4b79c23d0 no response. At the sight 562184dc59 of his unmoving ef201016ed figure, Kang I-won 54109e16f4 suddenly remembered that 4cfe0a8000 Heo Do-gyeong had 1971ea3a05 been injured in c047d80810 his side. His face turned dd9dd0a383 deathly pale as c7a4be9117 he hastily rolled b162da2d48 to the side 5fc0416be0 and lifted himself, 498d24b21d flipping Heo Do-gyeong a319242bdb over to lay e7d657d00e him down properly. He was so 38259d1980 startled that, for fbb2c9e2da a moment, he e59590d670 completely forgot the df1d65bbbb fact that Heo e22a82f819 Do-gyeong was still 060e986b48 inside him.6a325829f2f04a58

The motion caused Heo 4531bbfaeb Do-gyeong’s length, still nestled e5f5db959d within Kang I-won’s inner e84375b150 walls, to shift, pressing f0035ecfed firmly against the sensitive 70865b9026 tissue.

However, the d4d0c614de tight inner 3253b1d7ec walls clung bdb798dcca to Heo a53415d983 Do-gyeong’s length, a8ceea5046 making it a535a5e88b difficult to 59a6d743a4 withdraw. As it slowly a1c89430e1 slid out, dragging 5610fd53dc along the sensitive a71c4a8741 walls, Kang I-won 8e8c200bae felt heat surge 9e42ffc6a1 uncontrollably through his d730419b63 body. He could 4ce5c32d1f even feel 04250257d2 Heo Do-gyeong’s 9bbdaa9c15 length, which 7af3a3c5ac had softened 3ba27458df after release, 37ac2fa46f gradually regaining 68010d33bb strength again.2da4398a775a2b9a

The emptiness 4022002eab that followed 0a74a7bc33 left his d7230b9392 body trembling 127756bd17 slightly, as a49c81285a if the e4b1420956 void itself 97bd9b047f was reacting. His face, already 490bcc62d4 pale from embarrassment, d3cc141878 flushed a deep 3d3deef14d red. But he didn’t have a49e9b8424 time to dwell on 4c96afacd5 his shame. Quickly regaining his a707987021 composure, Kang I-won 31d7d0428d checked Heo Do-gyeong’s 6dd5a93fdc side for injuries.

Even so, the 49bb494df4 thought of Heo ea9e862502 Do-gyeong—of what they 40a2192d23 had shared—kept creeping e2200a6580 into his mind.

Heo Do-gyeong, collapsed 93eb89f5dc face-down, at least 4372f7c6e6 had his pants 9459eb08b3 on. Kang I-won, however, was 1c4f8764d1 completely bare, not even 4b26273201 wearing underwear. Flustered, he quickly retrieved 1fecbd30fd his discarded underwear and 4d42d3ee43 pants from the ground 051e05589e and put them on. He then de3ae78d6f picked up 2c8d2c171f his dirt-covered 38129599c3 shirt, gave 644ca8f665 it a 112ee19c82 quick shake f9f78f61cd to remove 2e8ca5d598 the worst f695aacd63 of the 296272cc8d dust, and f66a046360 slipped it 97f13437b4 on as 6955c8823c well.92c4b7b1228b10e6

Overwhelmed by the unintentional 7b9519537a truth that had slipped 6bf9c1e7aa out in a moment 3c66305963 of frustration, Kang I-won fb24b4031e pressed his lips firmly 99d124c831 shut in shock.

A one-sided imprint 3c9a1ff427 occurred when only 04cd26a83d one party—either the 9cfd93b462 Esper or the fe4209caae Guide—became imprinted. It wasn’t an ed94bc2e7f uncommon phenomenon, accounting bf11c46ad3 for about 30% 66fa85b90a of all imprints.c6dd3346dbd458e3

In one-sided imprints, the 0cb39b9d85 bond often remained undetected e343249885 unless the individual either 103d2ad07c disclosed it or engaged 0426a678fa in guiding with another 75b7e8cb16 person.

Fortunately, with effort, 3852a6d6fc he managed to 61fa8dfa71 sever the connection, acab172096 pushing the foreign c90153f109 worry and unease 8d2bf1a4a6 away. What remained was 74839c6a26 his own emotions, 51e674249c leaving him feeling 80c698358d strangely empty, as 403b054dab though something had a4f14bcb27 been swept away.d07086d4e9acd2e6

There wasn’t any real 6904f75601 need to bring it fb341cd805 up. After all, Kang I-won’s 57f56e294d impending loss of abilities 9d56916627 meant he would no 58172cb65d longer be deployed in 398d8e86be the field. He wouldn’t 5e6e8b4d40 require guiding 0c8269549e anymore, so 293a50ea49 there was 2c6671937b no risk c9dab4b4dc of anyone fc1c429221 finding out.650bd657ffe16fb3

But that thought 08e1f403c2 left a bitter 820e6fe23c taste in his 698b4a045d mouth. Even if he tried 1df126022c to ignore it, these feabdcaaea emotions would likely seep 4665c1a5a2 through again when he f5f0b682ed let his guard down, 7bdacf1508 just as they had 1341f677cf today. Pretending not to 78ba013024 notice Heo Do-gyeong’s 38e2cc59c4 unspoken feelings while fd910f4843 sensing them so ce8026c3d8 vividly felt like 960495233a a betrayal of cfdd3e339e trust.d45de03e3107ebae

The memory of Heo dc965411ab Do-gyeong’s cold demeanor flashed 101e87ae0e through his mind, and 92992baa59 Kang I-won unconsciously bit 2b154cab5c his lip.c2bb5bbe8ba635e6

What if Heo Do-gyeong cc1c7cf86d feels offended?884fd3098c22973e

Although it cf1b908616 was Heo 2c65bc6f50 Do-gyeong who 975319a828 first proposed 498d4024ac imprinting, what 16b3513ab0 he’d wanted 0b2a3bd3cc was a 56adfad480 mutual imprint—not fb9589823c a one-sided 28453477ee one. Many Guides felt uncomfortable 08f5fd4f9f with one-sided imprints, and af2d968ab8 Kang I-won suspected Heo c1a9f00d12 Do-gyeong might feel the 36a616489b same way.91a0bb02fc582390

As his anxiety b52d9fb64c grew, so did a588c631be a sense of b7fdaeb502 indignation. Was this really 272936bf23 his fault? Sure, his condition had cb9d977f6e been poor, but it bfd9e3fc02 was Heo Do-gyeong who b393ea6373 had initiated the guiding.b9ccd7d199133ced

Of course, 423fa22d8f as a 679d8e80f5 Guide, it 2f2474a225 was his 2bf8421d2d duty to 83e6bea021 provide appropriate 1c09332657 guiding during 79fd179626 emergencies, and c4650be9cf Heo Do-gyeong 04680035f5 had only e8217b61be been fulfilling d0e32503fe that duty. The resulting 16a10e0e70 imprint wasn’t fc8f9367df something anyone 272e1f2a26 could have 83eda25d72 predicted. Imprints weren’t something 77d149f655 you could control—they aafe1eee0e happened on their 86de543874 own.77c98aa96426da4b

With a e7a0c31777 deep sigh, 3d6158369c Kang I-won 37445fa3ba tried to 525b27b54b organize his 2d58ad8cf3 thoughts.74227325d61483f9

This one-sided imprint 0da2c27ce3 would soon fade d8cd6fc480 anyway. Imprints were a bond 3967a77968 formed between an Esper’s d68c67372a wavelength and a Guide’s dc88596d78 energy, so when an e3ed1879a1 Esper lost their abilities, eb4534db39 the imprint would naturally f32c511976 dissolve. It wouldn’t 5a1d4800db be long adebd50c20 before his 6827c04825 imprint with a59f071576 Heo Do-gyeong cd37b4977d disappeared.f03878c8acc52c65

In that 7fbf43ab74 case, he 547948f9a2 just needed 895de1f2c1 to explain 08149cc267 the situation 3e7eed7502 honestly: that d39b190c20 an unintended 9e07a4cef3 one-sided imprint 5cbf52761c had occurred 43da3bd1a9 but would d4e003c24e soon dissolve 7ba666f80e along with d9705f273f his abilities, d983738ccf so there ab3dc8fb99 was no 7899e57e80 need to c701d256c3 feel upset f9d2f86e9c about it.398f119e9ea19bdc

“Ha…”50cd0f1cea692aa4

A heavy sigh escaped b4a691b858 him as his thoughts c7a150dd60 spiraled. How could this d2414ca28e happen from just 2f8fa5a407 one instance?afe4f3e5f37d11e5

At least it was 9af576fda4 only a one-sided imprint. A mutual 2bae6bd883 imprint would c277795a2c have been c7967b9cf3 far more 6d9fd63f8d troublesome. If an imprint 373abb24f7 were broken for 42bdd39ec8 any reason, the 9b74e592ce other party would 296bdd251b experience a profound 6c0fb0b517 sense of loss. In extreme 9649f63c41 cases, some 163676b561 even developed 24127a55e5 severe depression 7df1492196 or took 7e06ceaf3c their own 47cb132db4 lives.57f0567251a80d38

While he didn’t f87822f0b3 believe Heo Do-gyeong e8e128f790 would react so 224a9521a1 severely, it was 9b33292f81 bound to have 87ed3b6274 some effect on 701b50ff6f him. Yes, this was 092dfca57b definitely the better a0ebdeb87b outcome.4dcd922f20cdfb29

Even so, another sigh 7ffefcc657 slipped from his lips.2a33e0adfbe70ec5

Despite sleeping deeply, d5b2eec599 he felt utterly 5d7caea44e drained. With a c95e35d777 long sigh, dea374c4c6 Kang I-won 3781395bfe buried his 675818e899 face into a8b253b303 his pillow, ebd6631f66 as if c0c977b1b1 trying to 947a8dada6 escape the 9b81e147c1 weight of 837d379e19 his thoughts.79e9ea565b6a3e48
