The Guide Is Fixing His Regrets

As soon as So-Won opened his eyes, he checked Tae-Woo’s neck. The tooth marks that So-Won left on his neck yesterday were not visible. The atmosphere that had been flowing strangely was also gone.

“Have you slept in peace?”

Tae-Woo, who was checking the weather outside the window, noticed that So-Won had woken up and said good morning. The veins around the eyes had faded a lot overnight. It’s thanks to the guidance he asked for last night. So-Won grumbled with a puzzled expression while comparing Tae-Woo’s previous physical condition.

“My back hurts.”

“…I’m sorry.”

So-Won looked at his mottled body again. It was unfair. The marks So-Won made disappeared in less than a day, and So-Won had to keep the marks left by Tae-Woo on his body for several days. But he couldn’t even express his dissatisfaction because he was the one who bit him first. So-Won murmured instead.

“It’s because of Tae-Woo, so take responsibility.”

“What… responsibility are you talking about?”

“Give me a massage.”

Tae-Woo looks down at his hands and worries at So-Won’s words. It seemed he was thinking about how to massage So-Won without breaking his waist, so So-Won hurriedly changed her words.

“Oh, no, I was joking! You don’t have to massage it!”

At the words, So-Won was relieved to see Tae-Woo’s gaze directed at him again. Phew, he almost lost his back trying to get a massage. Thanks to Tae-Woo’s improved condition, he can now control his strength properly, but there is a difference between a hard object and a soft body.

“Instead, I want you to stay a bit longer.”

“Alright.”

Right now, So-Won felt like a deflated balloon. With that excuse, So-Won grabbed Tae-Woo, curled up in bed, and then came out after a while. While washing, So-Won checked all the marks left on his body one by one. He chose from his autumn clothes.

He felt a bit off when he wore a black turtleneck shirt that came up to his neck to cover the marks left by Tae-Woo. So-Won was thinking about changing into another outfit, but when he realized he was about to be late, he just left the room.

They are past their departure time because he woke up later than usual and started preparing after relaxing in bed. But a few days ago, So-Won discovered that Tae-Woo’s work time was not fixed. Thanks to this, he was not in a hurry.

As So-Won went down the stairs, he saw Tae-Woo waiting for him downstairs. When they stood close to each other, their clothes were almost the same, so So-Won felt like they were wearing a couple outfits. However, So-Won was the only one who cared about their clothes. Tae-Woo looked at So-Won casually before they left the house.

On their way to work, the two finally reached the Esper Association parking lot through a blocked road. So-Won got out of the car and asked as he headed to the elevator with Tae-Woo.

“Tae-Woo, do you have any special schedule today?”

“None.”

Then So-Won had to kill time lying on the sofa all day. Going to work with Tae-Woo was good, but he was bored because there was nothing to do when he arrived at the private room. While staying in the private room, the only moment he felt that time went by quickly was when he was guiding Tae-Woo for a while whenever he was free.

What should he do today? So-Won was walking in agony when someone walked from the opposite side. The gorgeous blonde hair and this intense presence from afar… It was Choi Si-Hhyuk.”Tae-Woo, let’s go over there….”

A few days ago, Si-Hyuk and Tae-Woo confronted each other. Si-Hyuk was also difficult to encounter, so So-Won tried to pull Tae-Woo to go to a different path, but Si-hyuk noticed them faster. Si-hyuk waved at So-Won and Tae-Woo.

So-Won frowned. He made eye contact, but So-Won wanted to pass by, pretending he didn’t notice.

“Long time no see. How have you been? If you don’t like Kang Tae-Woo, I want you to come as my exclusive guide, but seeing that you’re wearing matching clothes, it seems you’re still doing well.”

Si-Hyuk came close and smiled. So-Won tried to pass by after saying hello quickly, but since Si-Hyuk compared Tae-Woo with his clothes with interesting eyes, he busily looked at Tae-Woo with his red face.

“Kang Tae-Woo Esper’s condition has improved. What? You manage to remove that on your neck?”

Si-Hyuk found Tae-Woo’s neck empty and asked with his eyes wide open. Looking at the reaction, he seemed to know that what was on Tae-Woo’s neck was a bomb.

Even from his point of view, Tae-Woo’s condition improved a lot. So-Won proudly looked at the reaction and was proud, but his eyes met with Si-Hyuk.

“That’s just right. Since we met, can you guide me?”

Si-Hyuk gently closed his eyes and approached So-Won. He extended his arm to So-Won. But the hand was blocked by Tae-Woo, who intervened between the two even before it reached So-Won.

“Don’t be silly.”

So-Won quickly hid behind Tae-Woo. Si-Hyuk almost swept him away because he was careless. So-Won could see Si-Hyuk’s face crumpling over the reliable Tae-Woo’s back.

“It’s just a light touch for some guidance. Aren’t you a bit overprotective?”

Fierce gazes were exchanged. So-Won, watching the scene while almost holding his breath, made eye contact with Si-Hyuk’s guide, who was watching them next to Si-Hyuk.

Suddenly, So-Won remembered he couldn’t greet her when she greeted him. So-Won bowed his head slightly first. Si-Hyuk’s guide also nodded lightly and accepted the greeting.

“Who was the one who brought you out to the outside as soon as you were done with the gate?”

“I never asked for it.”

“That’s too much. I even transferred association.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t remember.”

Si-Hyuk was sarcastic, and Tae-Woo answered silently. The conversation continued longer than expected. Before he knew it, So-Won had been forgotten by them. Si-Hyuk’s guide quietly opened her mouth, watching them with a bored face.

“You’re bored, right?”

So-Won followed the voice that was speaking to him and looked away. When So-Won and her eyes met, she opened her mouth once more.

“Would you please pull the wheelchair for a moment?”

“Me?”

So-Won looked at Tae-Woo, embarrassed by the words. As Tae-Woo felt the gaze and turned his head, Si-Hyuk’s gaze also moved.

“Where are you two going? I’d appreciate it if you did. I had something to say with Esper Kang Tae-Woo.” Tae-Woo nodded after listening to Si-Hyuk. He also wants them to step aside for a while. “I’ll pick you up when the conversation is over.”

“Yes. Then I’ll take a walk outside for a while.”So-Won headed toward the elevator, pushing the wheelchair on which Si-Hyuk’s guide was riding. However, he couldn’t overcome the heavy steps and kept looking back. So-Won felt sorry that he has to leave Tae-Woo alone.

So-Won came up to the first floor and came out of the building with Si-Hyuk’s guide. There was a cool breeze, but the sun was warm, so it wasn’t cold. When asked where to go, Si-Hyuk’s guide answered, “Let’s just go around the neighborhood.” So-Won nodded and walked along the trail around the Esper Association.

Soon after, Si-Hyuk’s guide opened his mouth first.

“Isn’t Choi Si-Hyuk trying to get guidance from you?”

“What?”

So-Won asked back in a small panic. Having a dedicated guide and getting guidance from someone else was very rude. So-Won knew it, so he turned his eyes around and avoided answering. Si-Hyuk’s guide continued as he remained silent because he didn’t know how to answer.

“You may tell me the truth. I’m rather sorry. It’s all my fault that Choi Si-hyuk does.”

“You know?”

“Yes. It was on the news a while ago.”

“Oh….”

So-Won blurted out the end of his speech when he recalled the news. It was not reported exactly what happened between Si-Hyuk and So-Won, but as she knew the situation roughly, she would have grasped it as soon as she saw it.

“As you can see, I’m a patient. It’s been a while since I haven’t been able to guide Choi Si-Hyuk, so he’s already been in bad condition for a few months. Even if I wanted to do it, I couldn’t guide because I wasn’t feeling well.”

The So-Won couldn’t answer. He heard that if the guide is sick, the guiding efficiency can be reduced, but he had never heard of them being unable to guide. Then how bad is her condition? Except for her pale complexion and sitting in a wheelchair, she looked fine, so it was impossible to know her condition.
