Someday You’ll Know the Story (1)

When Tae Ijae firmly denied the suggestion of dating anyone, it became clear that his claim of not wanting to be in a relationship with anyone wasn’t a lie. Kang Junwoo felt his fingertips tremble and instinctively clenched his fists tightly.858a6fa51129181c

Ban Jiho, with an excited expression, turned off the video beam and put it back into his pocket, then asked, “Now you understand, right?”49897c41ff66ec73

Instead of answering, Kang Junwoo stared intently at Ban Jiho. He couldn’t comprehend why this person would go so far as to record and bring this to him. Was Ban Jiho that fond of Tae Ijae? But if he liked him that much, wouldn’t he want to keep himself—the only one who could guide Tae Ijae—close to him?67e5447229eb688d

It wasn’t love but a desire for possession. Or perhaps a need for exclusivity. That’s all Kang Junwoo could see in Ban Jiho. It was somewhat pitiful in its own way.cffeece84b34a9fd

Yet, the one who f6d477d679 should feel pitiful was a31a229bec himself, and it was 1c00d891f4 laughable that he was 7bfc70b2f4 worrying about someone else c6b39be574 when he had his b3b8cc0aa2 own problems to deal 85a194e9a7 with.220fc99bc1fae724

Kang Junwoo recalled 8e48073308 the past few 194c375293 days when he 9c79a43264 had spent time d8fe81659e with Tae Ijae b5700b8c90 as if they 0281f83f6c were lovers, and 1f63c2607a a bitter smile eba9ba8778 crept onto his fc14d65a81 lips. Lovers? What kind of delusion had 853833c343 he been living in?10dba196970d65b6

“Why are you laughing?” Ban Jiho crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, seemingly irritated by Kang Junwoo’s bitter smile.5eb290b4272d6c04

Ban Jiho was left 03942dc589 speechless, his mouth agape 6dcfd4f70e in disbelief. Kang Junwoo, trying to 537ceef90f maintain his composure, spoke d1c68d9ca9 to Ban Jiho.dfdca65f91f0a1f7

“Aren’t you going to stop being paired with Ijae, or pack his things and kick him out? Shouldn’t there be something like that?”9cd41687c55b8aab

Ban Jiho pouted as if questioning whether he had gone through the trouble of gathering evidence just to receive a simple thank you, which made Kang Junwoo laugh again. He couldn’t understand why he kept laughing in such a dire situation.901faf72ebe311fe

Since he couldn’t even understand himself, he couldn’t be offended by Ban Jiho’s gaze, which looked at him as if he were crazy. He was tired.e3976b301bc2dd36

He was exhausted from having to endure Tae Ijae’s overwhelming presence until dawn and also from being blindsided by Tae Ijae like this. In the end, Tae Ijae had only acted for his own benefit.a453dec8daef3c86

He had likely explored his body out of curiosity about sex after the third stage of guiding and losing his virginity, and before that, he had approached him to obtain the Siren’s Tears. It was his own mistake to confuse that with love, so there was no reason or need to blame Tae Ijae. He could simply wash his hands of it.0f362d2da6a32b6d

From the start, he had no intention of dating an Esper after a failed imprinting attempt, and he was only drawn to Tae Ijae because it seemed like Tae Ijae liked him. Now that he knew it wasn’t true, he wouldn’t foolishly be led around.29607e511e758d7d

Kang Junwoo prided himself on being good at ending relationships. Therefore, he would certainly handle the end of his relationship with Tae Ijae cleanly as well. The only thing that bothered him slightly was that he was the only one who could guide Tae Ijae, who couldn’t receive guidance due to past bloodline imprint issues. But if he thought of it as work, he could endure it.82227e21367dfc0c

He wasn’t the type to coldly reject an Esper who needed him, so whether Tae Ijae had made a bet with him or deliberately seduced him, he didn’t feel like he wouldn’t provide guidance. He just felt a bit embarrassed about having been happy in his own delusion, but there were no particularly bad feelings beyond that.b22d159d2df3beb3

As Kang Junwoo was thinking this, Ban Jiho asked again, “So what are you going to do?”ea1995ea478198c3

“But as for the guiding… hmm, I’m not sure.” Kang Junwoo’s next words made Ban Jiho’s face twist as if he had bitten into something bitter.7c78e4888e26c68a

“Don’t worry about that, I’ll give it a try,” Ban Jiho replied, and Kang Junwoo looked at him with a surprised expression.ce970c6925a72e73

“Until now, our Ijae hasn’t received guidance from a Guide, but since he was okay after receiving your guidance, who knows? Maybe my guidance will be okay too.”3950bea644d50630

“So, I’ll do whatever it takes to guide our Ijae, so you don’t have to worry about his guidance and just go your own way,” Ban Jiho said with a particularly bright expression that seemed to ask, “Do you understand?”e08b6447b93116d6

His personality seemed as lively as his pretty face, and Kang Junwoo couldn’t help but smile. It was truly a curious thing. This person had come to separate him from Tae Ijae, yet he didn’t find him annoying. Of course, he wasn’t grateful either, but he felt a dizzying sensation at the thought that if it weren’t for Ban Jiho, he might have lived in delusion until Tae Ijae turned his back on him.cce034379cd925b9

Living a life where he mistakenly believed someone who didn’t love him actually did was not a life he wanted or wished to experience. Perhaps breaking the illusion here was a gift from the gods.e6651a34736e2c51

“What do you mean by that?” Ban Jiho asked with a sharp expression, and Kang Junwoo replied calmly.53c916fda72aa55b

“I’m a Guide affiliated with the Center, and I have a duty to provide guidance to those who need it. If Tae Ijae the Esper can’t receive guidance from other Guides as he has until now, I’m talking about the part where I have no choice but to step in.”8cc2ae3e71184532

“It’s a separate issue from pride. It’s a matter of an Esper’s life.”aec363ee85650915

With those final words, Kang Junwoo turned and left. Ban Jiho stared intently at Kang Junwoo’s retreating figure. He disliked that Kang Junwoo was an S-class Guide, but he also disliked that he himself was only A-class. The thought that if he were S-class, he might not have lost Tae Ijae’s guidance to Kang Junwoo made his insides churn.82d3b6f30382147e

Naturally, the closer the grades, 343510354e the higher the matching rate, 2e731442e4 so the 98% matching rate 1e64b91219 was undoubtedly influenced by the 8ec2e8d35f close grades of SS-class and 5700ff8d83 S-class. Ban Jiho bit his d8ef7aec6d lower lip, seriously contemplating 9ef5a486c6 whether there was something fded7528d8 like a grade-boosting potion.437cd8edd152aa70

After parting ways with Ban Jiho, Kang Junwoo walked alone for a while to clear his head. His phone rang twice, but he didn’t answer. He didn’t care who the caller was. He was too busy reflecting on his current situation, the misunderstandings he had been harboring, and Tae Ijae’s actions that had led him to those misunderstandings. Eventually, he turned off his phone and began to walk aimlessly.387de7d323735931

Kang Junwoo had thought that Tae Ijae genuinely liked him. “He said he did.” But what he meant was not that he liked him, but that he could pretend to like him. Or rather, that he could act as if he liked him. A low chuckle escaped Kang Junwoo’s lips. It was dizzying to realize what a misconception he had been under.8cf0e2dd758aeeeb

He ran his hand through his wind-tousled hair and looked up at the sky. After being released from his previous assignment, he had made a firm resolution. He had vowed not to get romantically involved with any Esper. He didn’t know where that resolution had disappeared, but it seemed he was now paying dearly for the mistake of forgetting it.e95cce330f6600de

Yes, it was strange from the beginning. Among all the Guides, he should have been suspicious when Tae Ijae specifically sought him out. Even if he hadn’t been suspicious then, he should have questioned it when the renowned Tae Ijae showed an abnormal interest in him.0c2f098336eb02f3

Because he had become complacent due to the nickname “Iron Wall Ice Prince” and the daily routine of many Espers half-jokingly, half-seriously trying to woo him, Kang Junwoo hadn’t been suspicious of Tae Ijae. It was all his own fault. Therefore, there was no need to blame Tae Ijae or confront him about it. Kang Junwoo walked aimlessly for a long time, pondering what he should do next.ee51b9742198d2b9

Crash!5323218f7bab0ecb

The second cup had already shattered. Tae Ijae cursed as he looked down at the broken pieces. The voice of a woman on the phone kept repeating that the power was off. Kang Junwoo, who had said he would meet someone briefly and then head straight home, had turned off his phone and hadn’t been in contact since. Meanwhile, the cup he had taken out to drink water kept slipping from his hand and falling to the floor. After just cleaning up the broken glass and picking it up again, it slipped once more, causing his temper to flare quickly.5e666c613b1e8f34

Habi came trotting over at the sound of the broken glass, and Tae Ijae waved his hand to shoo him away as he bent down. “Go away, Habi.” He picked up the large pieces of broken glass and threw them into the trash can, using his light attribute to make the smaller shards disappear.68415e1fb05c0206

Once the floor was clean again, Tae Ijae reached up to the top of the sink to take out another glass. However, thinking that he might end up breaking all of Kang Junwoo’s household items, he decided against it. Instead, he grabbed a paper cup from beside the dining table and opened the lid of a drink sitting on the table.29e24f590c424ce7

After pouring himself a drink and taking a sip, he looked at his phone. Since he had marked Kang Junwoo, he could teleport to him at any time, but it wasn’t polite to appear in front of someone like that unless it was an emergency, so he restrained himself. However, he couldn’t help but feel anxious because of his sister’s situation.030c56bcee15ea0d

Tae Ijae resolved 064707420f that when Kang f6909d7277 Junwoo returned, he 99b4ca25bc would make sure c49e364a21 to get a c405b06f89 promise from him 257a76eb1a never to turn d259e46979 off his phone 496b84fb88 again.a933e31f1e7505dc
