Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: CATCHING STRAYS

"HEART ATTACK?" Yuno asked worriedly, getting up. "Hyung, does your heart hurt these days? High-ranking Espers who overwork themselves usually die from a heart attack."

Well, calling it a ’heart attack’ was the easiest way to explain it to Civilians.

But, to be more precise, it was an Esper’s Core breaking.

Actually, Espers who died from Rampaging actually died because their Core broke. So, it’s pretty similar to having a heart attack.

Hence, Yuno got worried for his Esper.

"Hyung, is your Core okay?"

"My Core isn’t breaking, if you’re worried about that."

"Then why are you saying I’m giving you a heart attack?" Yuno asked, confused. "If you’re trying to say I’m the source of your stress, then just say you’ll die from high blood pressure. Why insist on having a heart attack?" _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Ki Gayoon just clicked his tongue while taking off his suit. "Anyway, the point is I want you to stay put this time. Just teach your fellow Guides how to protect themselves. Don’t do anything unnecessary."

Hmm?

If Hyung is talking like this, then...

"Hyung, you got a lead about the serial killer, didn’t you?"

"I didn’t."

"You’re a horrible liar, Hyung."

"I’m not going to share any information with you."

"Then I’ll just call Sajangnim," Yuno said while pulling out his phone from the pocket of his jeans. "Or maybe Haru-nim—"

He didn’t get to finish what he wanted to say because his phone suddenly floated.

Tsk.

"Hyung, I asked you to lift me using your telekinesis power several times. But you said it’s a waste of your Mana. So, what are you doing now?"

"Don’t ask for other men’s help when I’m here."

Oh, wow.

Ki Gayoon looked pissed since he was even clenching his jaw.

But Yuno wasn’t afraid because he knew his Esper wouldn’t hurt him, and that Ki Gayoon wasn’t really angry at him.

Moreover...

Dammit.

Hyung looks hot even when he’s pissed.

"But Hyung didn’t want to tell me anything."

Ki Gayoon fell silent for a moment, and then he sighed. "I have two pieces of vital information that I got from Yang Youngjae and Lucca— and I’ll share them with you after we have dinner."

"Okay, Hyung. What do we have for dinner?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"I don’t really have appetite right now. Can I just have some soup or rice porridge?"

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows, and then he touched Yuno’s forehead as if he was checking his temperature. "You have a slight fever."

"Oh. No wonder I feel sluggish," Yuno said, sighing. He only noticed that his body felt heavy. "Should I return to my room? I don’t want Hyung to catch my cold."

"I don’t think it’s just a simple cold," Ki Gayoon said while shaking his head. "I asked Moon Noa earlier what I could do to help you recover since you’re freaking weak. He said that you just need to absorb my Mana."

Ah.

So, that’s why Hyung brought me here.

"Moon Noa also said I should remind you to take your medicine if you run a fever."

"Argh."

"Why?"

"The medicine that Sajangnim made for me is too bitter," Yuno complained lightly. "Can you give me back my phone, Hyung? I want to drink banana milk after taking the medicine."

"You can have your phone back, but no need to order. We have banana milk here."

"Since when?"

"Since I saw you drink banana milk for breakfast."

Aigoo.

Yuno clutched his chest, wondering why his heart was "acting up."

Do I have an arrhythmia or something?

His heart kept pounding hard and fast against his chest, after all.

"What’s wrong?" Ki Gayoon asked when he saw Yuno thumping his chest with his fist. "Are you having chest pains?"

"My heart is beating erratically, Hyung."

"Did you have coffee earlier?"

"Team Leader Bambi-ssi ordered coffee during our break. The coffee was kind of strong," Yuno said, but he was relieved by the reminder since he got the answer as to why he suddenly had an irregular heartbeat. "Ah. I’m probably having palpitations because of that."

"Right? Coffee could make your heart thump like crazy."

"Does it happen to you often, Hyung? You always have coffee in the morning, after all."

"Let’s just say you’re correct."

"What does that even mean?"

"Stop talking and get changed already, punk," Ki Gayoon scolded him, suddenly acting grumpy again. "I’ll make some rice porridge for you."

"Okay, Hyung."

Ki Gayoon then left the room quietly.

Oh, you sweet summer child.

There’s no reason for me to drag this child into the mess that’s about to hit our country.

I goof around a lot, but I haven’t forgotten my status here.

And I got a vital piece of information from Yoonyoon in return for meeting Lucca.

The siblings have special abilities as Guides since Rebecca matched with one of the Top 5 Espers, while Lucca had high matching rates with several high-ranking Espers.

This kid is funny.

Luca-ssi is in charge of Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi until the Esper gets discharged.
