Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: CAUGHT IN THE ACT

HEHE.

Yuno sent several laughing emojis to Nam Sori, the storyboard writer he was working with, because the script that she sent to him was funny.

But he maintained a poker face while typing furiously on his laptop.

Writer Youngji’s webcomics is a bit dark compared to her previous work, but it still has the humor me and her readers are familiar with.

That was why it was fun drawing it.

Yuno wasn’t the only one working for the webcomics adaptation of Writer Youngji’s novel, of course.

Producer Bong was the one in charge of the project.

Nam Sori, as the storyboard writer, was the one responsible for adapting Writer Youngji’s novel into a webcomic format— making Yuno’s life as an artist easy.

Sori and I work well with each other because we’re best friends.

Yes, Nam Sori was his one and only trusted friend of the same age.

banohno: It’s been a while since we last saw each other, Sori-ya. When are you free?

SoriSoriSori: Yuno-ya, I’m working as a storyboard writer right now because I’m keeping a low profile. You know what that means, right?

Oh, right.

"I almost forgot that Sori is a wanted criminal," Yuno said while typing a reply. "The Rogue Clan must have angered the government again."

banohno: Don’t worry, Sori-ya. I’m gonna do something soon that will take the government’s attention away from your criminal organization.

SoriSoriSori: Yah, don’t make it sound like we’re villains! The government is the bad guy here!

Heh.

SoriSoriSori: But don’t do anything stupid, Yuno-ya. I know Ki Gayoon is strong. But he has too many enemies. If all the people who have a grudge against him worked together, then how is he supposed to protect you?

banohno: I can protect myself?

SoriSoriSori. Aigoo. Don’t overestimate yourself, dude. You’re a princess, not a knight. So, let the strong people protect you.

Tsk.

Sometimes the way Sori talks doesn’t fit her fragile appearance.

Nam Sori was the reason Yuno was attracted to pretty people.

Speaking of pretty people...

For some reason, Ki Gayoon’s handsome face flashed in Yuno’s mind.

Hyung isn’t the pretty type, but I really like his visual.

Yuno clicked his tongue, annoyed that he couldn’t take Ki Gayoon off his mind these days.

Physical attraction between a Guide and an Esper is normal, so why am I bothered?

["I’ll make you some rice porridge."]

That was what Ki Gayoon said earlier before leaving his room.

Will Hyung really make the rice porridge for me? Or did he just mean he’ll ask the chef to make it?

Now Yuno was really curious.

His attention was only diverted back to the present when his laptop made a noise.

SoriSoriSori: Yuno-ya, I need to log out now. Be careful, okay? I got an invitation from Noa Oppa. If I’m not busy, then I’ll come and attend your welcome party. But I can’t promise anything, so don’t expect too much.

That still made Yuno smile.

banohno: I get it. But I’ll still look forward to seeing you soon, Sori-ya. Don’t get caught by the government dogs.

After Nam Sori logged out, their entire conversation was automatically deleted.

My best friend is a criminal, so we have to keep our conversation private all the time.

Anyway, now Yuno was done for his work tonight.

No one has come up yet to inform me that dinner is ready, so that means the chef is still cooking in the kitchen?

Was it really the chef?

Yuno’s curiosity got the better of him, so he immediately got up and went out of his room.

It’s time to find out.

***

KI GAYOON was almost done cooking the rice porridge that he made for Noh Yuno.

Even though his body was busy cooking, his mind was elsewhere.

What Haru said to him before kept ringing in his head.

["It’s normal for a Guide and an Esper with a high matching rate to develop feelings for each other. So, what’s wrong if you fell for Yuno-kun?"]

["I won’t fall for a punk like Noh Yuno— so you don’t have to teach me the method to know whether I’m in love with him or not. Because I know that I’m not in love with him."]

["Alright, I respect your decision. And maybe it’s for the better anyway. After all, even if you fall for Yuno-kun, I don’t think he’d acknowledge your feelings."]

["And what do you mean by that?"]

["Yuno-kun doesn’t know what romantic love is even if it slaps him on the face. He believes he’s not worthy of love, so he’s cynical when it comes to romantic relationships. You’ll just have a hard time making someone like Yuno-kun notice your feelings for him."]

["Are you trying to provoke me?"]

["Of course not. I’m just giving you a friendly advice. I’ve known Yuno-kun for quite some time now, so I can already picture him denying your feelings for him even if you make it obvious."]

["Is it because Noh Yuno believes that every good thing I say or do is only because I’m an Esper and he’s a Guide?"]

["Yuno-kun believes that a Guide and an Esper can build a genuine relationship— he just doesn’t believe that it can happen to him."]

["Then, if— and only if— I want Noh Yuno to see me as a man and not just an Esper, what should I do?"]

["You have to make Yuno-kun see that you don’t need him as a Guide— but you want him as a person."]

***

And Hyung is really the one cooking the rice porridge for me!
