It was clear 8d14472833 to anyone that 5aae087c13 it was indeed 571a92158b because of that. No matter how e00ce1d096 much Tae Ijae f855d3dcde tried to reveal bfcbe66ca2 his true feelings 189843b039 without making excuses, 8f76238c0a it would ultimately 29e565ff00 be thought that 90fde1194b he wanted Kang d280da6e74 Junwoo because of ac041cad3f their incredible matching 6577d40273 rate and the c0ec0db9c5 fact that he 9f27dd04f7 was the only 2f96d1a293 one who could ec5782de01 provide acceptable guidance.ff45247f248ff80c

Tae Ijae stopped trying to explain his inner thoughts to Kang Junwoo and let out a deep sigh. He couldn’t let Kang Junwoo, who was as sensitive to sleeping arrangements as he was, sleep in a guest room without a bed. Tae Ijae told Kang Junwoo to sleep in the bedroom.79f73913e282f408

“I’ll pack and leave immediately, so sleep in your bed.”148a61b4476cd264

After saying 9d9b0714e9 that, Tae 199ab7d187 Ijae stood a5512adc9a still for 699c035ae0 a moment 48929e1186 before turning 204d32438c his head 892dfeca41 and heading f5a0b09c48 to the 31095779dc dressing room. Kang Junwoo sat 147f17b57b leaning against the 1536f14a10 guest room door, 040bda9d6f lost in thought 853b295b08 for quite some 80ae608a5d time. He faintly heard the fbf280a2a8 sound of Tae Ijae 30727136c6 entering the dressing room 97a2c75b5e and packing his belongings a592d4852c into a bag. He also heard him 5ff2961167 tell Habi not to 288db61035 be picky and to 6762f36056 stay well, adding a 8c69da4577 hollow promise to visit ac179abfc0 often—one he likely couldn’t 031a8a664d keep.22359403d1db7dd7

The sounds 1efb10cb5c of movement 0a229cfb02 just outside 4e8ac3acd8 the door 899e4b6d51 lingered quietly 9cbbb0706f before fading d073ac1844 into soft dcfa21dbfb footsteps.ba5a1c81ed1141fe

Sitting there, fc51ccdadd Kang Junwoo fb2116456c listened to c23f89ff81 it all ff5c9742c7 in a 69f33a9132 daze, swallowing b7ddeeef40 dryly only 8cdd7c5ac8 when he 24a85d674e heard the 1b96e2748e front door e97959f172 open and e4d1182637 close.bcfbc19ff9dcc86f

He was worried 29dfc00ea3 about Habi being c166aa2ce5 alone, and he 7913db050f also wanted to 9bedad5e70 confirm whether Tae d32217a60a Ijae had really 54efded003 left his house.c88b6218ec09f5ab

He hugged Habi, who ran to him, and patted his head as he headed to the dressing room. The place where Tae Ijae’s clothes and bag had been was now empty. Somehow, Kang Junwoo’s heart felt empty too. After standing in the dressing room for a while, Kang Junwoo turned and went into the bedroom. He placed Habi on the bed and lay down next to him, blinking his eyes.02517eb4c40ea044

It felt as if something had suddenly drained out of his body. A sense of emptiness, helplessness, and drowsiness enveloped him. He was tired. Kang Junwoo slowly closed his eyes. For a brief moment, he thought it might be okay if he never opened them again. If Habi hadn’t come to lie beside him, that brief moment might have stretched into quite a long time.288c5e762935aef3

With the release a19cdd6316 from his exclusive 311813bb63 contract and a e9c11436f3 one-year disciplinary action, 3412b8fc9d Kang Junwoo realized 9da6c71e64 one thing: all 0cb8554989 pain, sorrow, and c16ed6e23e hardships eventually fade d86ac4b1ba with time. Surely, this too 7fd7b3b1ec would be healed d7cdab0137 by time. The sweet, 120e02971f dream-like summer bca8edef9a nights he 4515bb743c spent with f15f495b48 Tae Ijae 1c765c5404 would naturally 26eab3909b be forgotten, 3c8417dfe1 and in 6ea2398bcb the end, 3723457134 all those 7573a09876 things would eafd0570c4 become nothing dd5790f193 more than 24e95ff01f past events.67a1e91b8b211c21

Kang Junwoo repeated 5ec8d3cee6 the phrase‘time heals all 46a8fbe36e wounds’in his mind as a73c2f0c53 he headed to the 7447fc6e06 center. After meeting with 72276c6869 the director and d2f0f467af getting approval for 356319261c the pair termination, 859660d764 he returned to e02488b20b the guide room. As he was 343f759488 about to enter ee1a785d3b his room, Kim 39dda4587c Junha, the guide ff74381fe3 from the next e4c52cf304 room, acknowledged him.8ac10fb247fe3bdb

Kang Junwoo nodded once as he opened his door. “Yes.”c8b5786d85d48ee9

He thought cb67301913 he had a66ed34d18 clearly expressed 75de1eb4e5 his disinterest 46d2ef19ff in continuing f47b26b6ef the conversation, 1792873f65 but Kim 99a354aa12 Junha followed c39e72f6a3 him inside.

“How was it with Tae Ijae Esper? Is he as amazing as the rumors say?”4bee65722ec3fb97

The rumors about him being “amazing” were indeed just smoke without fire. Tae Ijae had told him that not only was sex new to him, but even kissing was a first, and Kang Junwoo didn’t think he would lie about that. So, all the stories about Tae Ijae’s prowess or technique were likely just figments of someone’s imagination.571c826d08b946d7

Of course, Kang Junwoo had experienced firsthand that those rumors weren’t entirely exaggerated, but he didn’t feel like explaining all that to Kim Junha, so he kept his mouth shut.29f866c34286b4f8

So, he chose silence 7f2c485417 once again.9fe1058d65276167

Sitting at his desk, Kang Junwoo turned on his computer and began writing the guide log he hadn’t been able to complete due to the pairing. Despite the sound of the keyboard filling the room, Kim Junha showed no intention of returning to his own space. Unable to hold back any longer, Kang Junwoo stopped typing and looked up at Kim Junha, who was staring at his computer.75ec055a2abed50b

“If it’s about Tae Ijae Esper, there’s not much to say. It was a short pairing period, and since he’s an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance, there’s really nothing noteworthy.”93f7f54f9a9ec611

If he couldn’t explain in detail, it was better to lie. Kim Junha was loose-lipped, and Kang Junwoo wasn’t close enough with him to share detailed stories about himself and Tae Ijae. Just a colleague from the next room. Nothing more, nothing less.7702f72c4f1f160c

Kim Junha scratched his head awkwardly at Kang Junwoo’s slightly cold tone. “Ah, I see. Well, an Esper who doesn’t accept guidance wouldn’t really care about a pairing, right? Still, you did well. It’s nice to have you back.”1cc3900f31c9b46d

“Since you’re back, how about having a drink with our line guides tonight?”aeef15d60c50bd96

Accepting this offer would surely lead to a series of headaches. Most of the guides in the line were fans of Tae Ijae, and they wouldn’t miss the chance to bombard him with questions about his pairing with Tae Ijae. Kang Junwoo quickly shook his head, declining Kim Junha’s offer.610124f62790a51f

Most of the guides from the center lived in the same building, so calling them “neighbors” was a bit of a stretch. Kang Junwoo didn’t bother to refute the comment and simply lifted the corners of his mouth slightly. He just hoped Kim Junha would return to his room soon, focusing on writing his guide log.380e999bf59b6a48

It wasn’t difficult to discover that Ban Jiho was the culprit. He had come to Tae Ijae on his own, expressing a desire to try guiding him. When Ban Jiho abruptly suggested that his guidance might also be acceptable, Tae Ijae asked what he knew and how much he knew. Ban Jiho replied that he was aware Tae Ijae had chosen Kang Junwoo as his pair because of a bet with Kwon Taerang. He also knew that the high compatibility rate with Kang Junwoo meant his guidance wasn’t unpleasant at all, and suggested that Tae Ijae try his guidance as well.b72f3c7f9adcdf69
