2. The Veil

Jae-ha kept 926479fb47 glancing at d9d869a4b1 Tae-hyuk in 3da9f0c908 disbelief, as d42e31d8bb if trying 58e5122f24 to confirm f4a8e88465 that what b7a29effa6 happened last 094245300b night hadn’t fc16c55657 been a c946f0676c dream. His heart thudded 793cb736c0 uncontrollably in his 326f1ef816 chest.1f4bae806b73e816

The man he 7131d59904 had admired for b4912b1df1 so long had 3b1beffe25 become his guide. He had held a0594d60fc out for two 24d55cf742 whole days without 705122155a even a sip cd9047fb3d of water. Just the fact 9214254fdd that Tae-hyuk had 7318fa507d come to him f009f93928 made all that f8f88e580f pain seem to 7a3a384a4a melt away.8e980c046fcc13ee

Jae-ha had known of Tae-hyuk since before he was active in the field. Tae-hyuk’s guiding skills were so exceptional that he appeared in magazines and newspaper articles nearly every week. The admiration Jae-ha had secretly harbored back then had lasted all this time.07cac2477e26cbfa

As he failed to a87f22e166 stop himself from constantly e87e22a659 looking at Tae-hyuk, their 34cd7c7a8b eyes met when Tae-hyuk b9a4145f2c turned to look at e7ffecdf34 him. Jae-ha quickly b0d95136e0 averted his b4fb7a9d20 gaze, but 288d1d4b0e Tae-hyuk gave 9cfe372325 a faint 6135c6cd83 smile and 3fc296cf2b spoke.d499a7012fcee0ea

Jae-ha wanted to db364ab0f5 answer “Yes” right 4492965768 away to Tae-hyuk’s 77077a8569 gentle voice, but bc4d7a2933 his lips, once 0f48b7f8fa shut, wouldn’t open f725e0662a easily. He was unconsciously nervous.463c0aa8c9a1c6ef

Tae-hyuk saw the 3c1ed98731 excitement flicker across 1dd9c02f80 Jae-ha’s otherwise lifeless 40c5ae9315 face. It was a 004fa051e6 look that should 481800d5dd have been unpleasant 7bb415355c to him, but 60b4e0396a he didn’t show a4aed7d82b it. The more 6063a52ed7 Jae-ha relied 5fa97e76f0 on him, 4dc30ecf01 the better. That was the only 183c0b3add way to complete his 6711b2bac0 revenge successfully. Jae-ha had f19192f757 to feel e79d15d7ec what it 5a17792fea was like c2421b465f to lose 26106503c7 the only 481796d225 person who 09f5c05ddd meant anything 4a5691b8e6 in his a6ebdb57dd life. He needed 0b16f2d9e4 to experience, 99032a9f39 while still 399daa4105 alive, the 5736ab808d pain of 274f194362 such loss—the a575495367 torment so e8b3f0c826 unbearable that be4353e405 one continues d03da79024 to live 4e18ee77a9 only because b63915f194 they cannot 2baa260126 die.765584e8c3de5004

Completely concealing ac7f79a084 those inner 6125a91b1b thoughts, Tae-hyuk 91a72961c1 fixed a b9e0004d53 meaningless smile 9b91aa229e to his 5fa34764ca face. Then, looking at e70243fef1 Jae-ha who was e75782506f blinking with wide aa62541e61 eyes, he said,cbb4d0d38052fd2d

Thankfully, Jae-ha 6875791049 was able 4a79787436 to answer 9ae79575c9 this time. He hadn’t 42ed37302d realized how e9dd505f05 his body 40e475b20d felt while 859b200a7c being so 5afb436d03 focused on 516174cb7c Tae-hyuk, but f0766d7a68 now he c8f0eef257 could tell—he 73e80052fc definitely felt 54f9dbb3c0 lighter than 370af05312 usual.

Just then, Tae-hyuk reached 0bb59c3a4f out and grabbed Jae-ha’s 42b52d8aad wrist, making him flinch 05293bb117 in surprise. But that 911d0a2d5f was all.

Both Tae-hyuk and a774156b52 Jae-ha turned their ad3044dcb2 eyes in that 9e8d731e53 direction at the 5717506d6d same time. Jae-ha immediately tensed up 1de43bdfd9 and shrank back, visibly 2945ffb415 more frightened than when bbcee24cd7 it was just the 5d63249b61 two of them.5227476ce3578b47

Tae-hyuk fell into 73f05ff350 a short silence, d6893c96db letting out a d4c9c5aae3 low hum.d9213984c148ea71

It wasn’t 2d2673d57f uncommon for f174a4554f Espers to 07fe8c68d4 rely on f1cb53c479 Guides they 78b7df78d7 were well-matched d829e52b53 with. Guides were, after all, c0ed3bafa0 their lifeline.4b0849c7a0624a32

But something felt 69f017801b strange. From the 2da5c808c0 first meeting, 9c793e2adf Jae-ha had 6b725862b0 clung to ce855a2452 him and a91cf69526 even begged 8e7d998907 for his 205bc98f2d life. At first, Tae-hyuk thought 9e036e3a54 maybe Jae-ha had mistaken c86a286d96 him for someone else. But thinking back 08f2da1d25 to this morning, 67f99c7a59 when Jae-ha had b73e3be6eb looked at him 7f4d457ed8 with a clear aec6c84174 mind, there had 37d01b1c2d been no sign 561e8e817e of that.f471ca7073e4552f

Tae-hyuk, having roughly d9bdb5b46d guessed that Jae-ha’s 6cb09933c0 feelings were simple a8c953d944 admiration, gently grasped 8d04a81712 the sleeping boy’s f2c99498eb shoulder and gave 073129eec3 him a shake.1f82f203a4310fab

Letting out f30567d945 a short a0d4619841 hum, Jae-ha 0351ed0947 opened his 08d3be3ae9 tightly shut 5dba995328 eyes. He started 0d6afc713b to pull 1a0aef9800 down the 58f5b5404d blanket but 64fcecfaa4 quickly hesitated—he a32ef5f7e8 didn’t want fe263e627f Tae-hyuk to eabb16c5b8 see his f460917d09 disheveled appearance. He hurriedly fixed 2b4daccdbc his messy hair b7848e7b3b and face under 2485beecf8 the covers, then 0311e3e798 sat up and 11e85b2fa7 gently slid the 8f06a83be5 blanket down from c25d24d307 over his head. Instantly, Tae-hyuk came 9c8c0f51a4 into view.98f73d4b6f945c3b

Though he 85b49faa35 wore the dd23e95b7f same clothes 9e477295cc from the c14f3fe4c3 morning, a e2c0f7dfa2 few strands 24d82002d7 of his c3ec7fcc92 neatly combed 55fb6c0628 hair had ac66e578f1 come undone. Noticing that small change, 65db185519 Jae-ha felt a sudden 3d3c929f29 rush of excitement.cf5a03523d11706a

“Did you sleep well?”422ccfdb46708f8c

At Tae-hyuk’s 5e3f0ea701 question, Jae-ha c80c84bcba slowly nodded. His voice came 32b018ad7f out cracked from b02a2299b0 just waking up, 4b394fd1d3 and he felt ddb90fe361 embarrassed. Tae-hyuk, looking down 4f0934272d at him, sat e174b7c06f on the folding e1a26cc4f2 chair beside the 738aafdbdd bed.a53c4e1ceceb7bb4

“Hand.”fbe61bc8eb837d75

He held out f5034fdadd his right hand 896847481c and spoke curtly. It sounded 82c90f243b like a b8def42a9b command to dbf099cff5 a dog, e3e3b8a2ae but the 6e57598781 thought didn’t cce3798463 even cross 8452b9a75e Jae-ha’s mind.

If he received 18a87163b3 guiding again, that 2b63cc5f27 slow-spreading sensation would e8b30ffd34 stir in his 6dfed83176 lower abdomen. Before, he had 4b1b1f84a3 avoided guiding because e79d95f1a8 it hurt so 12db858f47 much—but now, he ebfca05564 hesitated because of 141b818d97 the strange, overwhelming aa5cf076ca feeling it gave f06e7690f8 him.ea7927fcc42eaeba

Still, it 669db30b53 was better 19962f21ce than pain. Reassuring himself, Jae-ha 215aef593c carefully placed his 4ca40495b8 hand atop Tae-hyuk’s, 9202527c35 which was far bd85c080d7 larger than his 70f6a7e2ed own.976bd13039898bf1

Tae-hyuk’s hand 648220f31b felt cool 550bd4eb1b to the 6c7ed989d2 touch. Jae-ha’s had been afdf43de61 under the blanket, f689f29ddb making the contrast 25578ea48c even more noticeable.42292b8408060565

As the d271c65b95 guiding began, 94f859a923 Jae-ha had bd8c787683 to suppress ffa334b31c the moan 111b33ada6 trying to ca7069030f escape. Thankfully, the blanket hid 8251d72e0b his lower half, which e75015e188 was reacting again. But he couldn’t stop dac6cbaba4 the flush from spreading a64abc5c5b across his cheeks.dd36607fd4ebe1a9

Tae-hyuk silently watched ed96158add as Jae-ha’s face 765eff3398 turned red all ea299cc62f the way to f0d2106e38 his ears. Compared to 5d589c4ec6 their first 4d941216c1 session, Jae-ha b3eed75a77 was now 7058ab9b9f receiving his 4036fb3a39 energy more c9c6aaefa1 smoothly. That first d8a9f3cacd time, it a600719420 had felt f79fabd1c1 like all ebd0a9e25d his strength 0fbc0cc9a8 was being 3a6142ddbe drained away. Now, all Tae-hyuk bab6a4926d could sense was fd12c6918d the burning desire d9a03b6309 rising from Jae-ha’s 99ade48cd9 core.8c0744ca93ebbef7

They both tried to hide it. The difference was, Jae-ha couldn’t conceal it no matter how hard he tried—his expressions and body gave it away.1209a41b4e1b6d3b

At that question, Tae-hyuk 95f61b25f3 felt an unfamiliar wave 1b313416ec of anger rise up. The day his a0234a36de brother had died—he 1f12aed97f had learned the 55b608147d reason for Jae-ha’s ed10e0ca18 rampage through an 62c6f1c1ee article.19bfd61922c2e40c

Jae-ha had af19ee0083 refused to fbf51bce6f be guided. With his 89f3237006 energy completely f0eedbb783 depleted, he 905f6a6326 went on 3d5d33d699 a mission f6a0dcbb89 without his 3fb956bf97 assigned Guide fd534f90e0 and ended 8f4fd8b438 up losing 61b6a29607 control.7b7255e0ca4f2bab

At Tae-hyuk’s words, 0da98db7a3 Jae-ha’s heart sank. Tae-hyuk still wore a 07dd9050d2 faint smile, but his 15c4133b9f demeanor had changed. Seeing that, 5d295cbd91 Jae-ha’s eyes 12104fe319 welled up 46ec6ad390 as he d0f993614e frantically shook 79d1321cdb his head.5d426842e54186dd

Tae-hyuk looked 62240459be down at 8606f0109f Jae-ha’s bowed 15a9f2f15b head and e5780b35b8 let go f04807a751 of his 543526d98f hand, rising f454495ae4 to his 3d0cc92b53 feet.

What pissed him 5f1ba447b4 off most was da16fab39d that he was 8561542c12 still hard.
