Ban Jiho paired 4dd0065e62 up with Kwon 2aeb5b70bb Jun-gyeol, a rising cfc33a4d8e star in the 40707027fd first division, the 71f7ca2742 day after he a573d26377 found out that 191cc98598 Tae Ijae had 584197885d paired with Kang 2eb87f0602 Junwoo.795321b09f60ed70

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.316abcbba2f8e185
That’s why Tae Ijae frowned as soon as he saw Ban Jiho.3e24896f331e68bb

When Ban Jiho 26e0a3bd7b called out to edd97590fd Tae Ijae, who dbc2801b24 was harshly criticizing 19ec45c066 Kwon Jun-gyeol, Tae 3ad41e0772 Ijae turned to 22c7ca4d32 him with a 2c21ccb90b fierce look and 794895e91b said,3f3cd34326ded0f2

His voice was chillingly cold.5b7b47b18e3940a4
Ban Jiho bit his 762a6f7e64 lower lip, looking as 40683b0bf4 if he might cry, 06da85eac7 and stared at Tae f0f467ad19 Ijae, who clicked his ccf5e5c3dd tongue and started flying 47cca5af53 towards the gate. Kwon Jungyeol quickly followed behind 983ff63f05 him.5dc1cb0564970865

Feeling somewhat weary, Kang 9b32640307 Junwoo let out a 7f9fbf3760 short sigh and replied,115657d04419ce21

“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.”e4407bb3f02c77fa

For a moment, Ban Jiho’s eyes widened in shock.3c4689093a389600
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.0c3a557de99de7f0

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.2f1b2b8e99255609

At Kang Junwoo’s words, Ban Jiho bit his lip tightly and blinked his eyes. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing how much he was holding back his anger.99ee8f7d3417120a

Perhaps he had managed 1230180a09 to calm himself down, 634fecae91 as Ban Jiho, who 4f86e74330 had been standing quietly 9098c3fd1f with his arms crossed 01405682bb for a while, finally e5ef1d2480 looked at Kang Junwoo ca938d0fe2 and asked,4587c225049f5547

At his grumpy voice, a small laugh escaped from Kang Junwoo’s lips. Somehow, Ban Jiho’s blind devotion seemed endearing.1179c94ce42e05dd

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.ff073187eb590713

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?7cad64713f99d7e6
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.0dabfb62a1d91e1e

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.3edf5c573b3d054f
Perhaps it was only natural. After all, Tae Ijae didn’t like him the way Han Dokyung did.10a2bf0ff8f237bf

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.2974a4a4811dac74

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.c2a374ce32bd54fd
