Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: OBVIOUS AND OBLIVIOUS

WHY DID I want to win brownie points from this brat?

That was also a mystery to Ki Gayoon.

But let’s test this punk.

"What do you think, Noh Yuno?" Gayoon asked. He didn’t want to admit this, but he was feeling a bit nervous at the moment. "What will you do if I say I have feelings for you?"

"Feelings? Like anger?"

"Yah."

"What? I’m not good at dealing with how people feel towards me."

"Fine— I’ll be straightforward then," Gayoon said, getting a bit frustrated. "What if I tell you I have feelings for you?"

"You’re pulling my leg, aren’t you, Hyung?" Noh Yuno asked bluntly with a disgusted look on his face. "Why would you fall in love with me?"

"Why not?"

"Hyung hates me."

What the fuck?

Gayoon knitted his eyebrows, confused. "Noh Yuno, I’m not that desperate for Guiding that I’d fuck a person I hate."

"Liar," Noh Yuno said, giving Gayoon a look full of distrust. "I remember Hyung saying you can fuck me because you "just have to put it in.""

Ah.

Gayoon vaguely remembered saying that to Noh Yuno before.

My nonsense that time came back to bite me in the ass.

"Hyung, you don’t have romantic feelings for me."

What?

That punk already made a conclusion before Gayoon could even make up an excuse.

That didn’t sit well with him.

"Are you invalidating my feelings, Noh Yuno?"

"That’s not what I’m doing, Hyung," Noh Yuno said defensively. "I’m just reminding you that I’m the punk you’ve been calling ’little shit’ all this time. Surely, you didn’t forget that? You hate my guts, and I’m a troublemaker that gives you headaches. So, how can you fall for me? You haven’t lost your mind, have you? Hyung? I mean, I know you’re a bit cray-cray. But having feelings for me is a different level of crazy."

Hmm.

Now I see the problem.

It was true that Gayoon was rude to Noh Yuno from the moment they met.

In short, it was his karma.

Me being a jerk to this punk had come and bit me in the ass, too.

Haaah.

Karma is really a bitch, huh?

"Then should we start all over again, Yuno-ya?"

Naturally, Noh Yuno looked surprised by what he called him. "Hyung, is this a new form of bullying? You only call me that when we’re being intimate."

Tsk.

I want to strangle the old me.

"I’m calling you ’Yuno-ya’ from now on, so you better get used to it."

"Hyung, I’ll stop cursing your hairline, so please don’t do this."

"What’s wrong with calling you by your first name? I think we have the kind of relationship where we can call each other’s name intimately."

"Hyung, this is bullying."

"Why?" Gayoon asked, raising an eyebrow at Yuno. "Does hearing me call you by your name intimately make you feel things?"

"..."

Bingo.

Hah!

"This is interesting," Gayoon said, smirking. "You’re very interesting, Noh Yuno."

Noh Yuno gasped as if he was horrified. "Hyung, you said the forbidden line!"

***

"DO YOU want a second bowl of rice porridge, Yuno-ya?"

Aigoo.

Yuno frowned when Ki Gayoon called him by his given name so fondly. "Hyung, do you not care about your hairline?"

"Why? You’re cursing my hairline again?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Ki Gayoon scoffed. "I won’t get aggravated anymore even if you curse my hairline. After all, I know I’d still look good even if I end up bald because of your curse."

Tsk.

Yuno couldn’t refute that arrogant statement because it was true.

Bald or not, Ki Gayoon looked so freaking handsome.

There’s a reason I haven’t thrown away Hyung’s "bald merch" yet.

"Yuno-ya."

"..."

"Yuno-ya, answer me."

"Yes, Hyung?"

"Even if I fall in love with you, what will be the problem?" Ki Gayoon asked. "We’re both bachelors, aren’t we? It’s normal for Espers and Guides with a high matching rate to end up dating. Why are you horrified by the idea? Do you hate me that much?"

"I don’t hate Hyung, and that’s the problem."

"Explain."

"Hyung will die if you fall in love with me."

"Seriously, Hyung? That’s your only takeaway from everything I said?"

"Ah, I was a bit rebellious back then. So I tried to burn¹ the— no, don’t change the subject, Hyung. And please take me more seriously. You’re too curious about trivial things."

Yes, I know I’m being sentimental, but I can’t help it.

Well, Hyung can be considerate when he wants to, after all.

It’s alright. We’re only talking about the "what-ifs" here. Hyung is just confusing his feelings as an Esper with romantic love since this is the first time he got an Exclusive Guide.
