Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: BACKSTABBER?

BAMBI stared at the elevator— the elevator that only a select few could use, including the Top 5 Espers and their Guides.

So, that’s what happened, huh?

After Ryu Sungbin explained the trick that Eun Rina used, he finally understood how Ki Gayoon fell into the trap.

"In the end, it’s because Gayoon Hyung is too powerful," Bambi said, smiling mockingly. "Weak threats don’t register to him. He’s confident that his natural shield would protect him from any harm. What he fails to understand is he can’t detect weak traps because of his overwhelming Mana. But this kind of trap will only work on Gayoon Hyung once. His body will remember the attack he received recently, so his senses will start to pick up even the slightest threat now."

"That’s why I called it a "trick,"" Ryu Sungbin, who was standing next to him, said. "I bet Eun Rina didn’t expect that it would work on Ki Gayoon."

"You don’t think her real target was Gayoon Hyung?"

"Ki Gayoon doesn’t work here, and he doesn’t visit the HQ on a regular basis. Eun Rina just got lucky when Ki Gayoon went here to fetch Noh Yuno."

"I see. Then we should warn the Espers about this "trick.""

"Why?"

"What do you mean by "why?""

"Bambi-ya, you can replicate that "trick" to trap Ki Gayoon later," Ryu Sungbin said. "You don’t have to copy the exact same method, but you can use Ki Gayoon’s weakness that we have just discovered."

Oh?

That made sense.

I really made a good decision when I chose Ryu Sungbin as my Esper.

"Then I’ll just tell Guide Noh Yuno-ssi later that we haven’t figured out the trick that the enemies used."

"Yeah, do that. Noh Yuno won’t suspect that we’re lying because we’re currently working together at the moment."

"Thank you, Hyung," Bambi said, wrapping an arm around Ryu Sungbin’s waist. "Thank you for helping me take one step closer to my goal."

The goal was Ki Gayoon, of course.

"You’re welcome," Ryu Sungbin said, kissing the top of his head. "We should hurry and visit Haru at the hospital first."

"GUIDE MOON Noa-ssi, how’s Haru-nim’s condition?"

Moon Noa raised an eyebrow.

I’m pretty sure I called Chief Kim Munhee. Is she so busy that she sent Bambam in her stead?

Or perhaps...

Is the chief starting to pass her position to Bambam slowly?

That was pretty interesting.

Moon Noa smiled before answering Bambi’s question. "I gave Haruharu a light Guiding before I knocked him out. But he’s fine now. He already coughed up the toxin in his body."

"Toxin?" Bambi asked worriedly. "Was Haru-nim poisoned?"

"That’s what I want to know, so I collected blood from Haruharu."

"Did you ask for his permission before doing that? I know your family owns this hospital, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to your patients."

"It’s funny to hear you talk about getting permission, Bambam~"

Of course, Bambi glared at Moon Noa for that "shade."

Let’s not tease him too much.

There was one more person who wasn’t happy with his teasing.

It was Ryu Sungbin who was standing behind Bambi like the loyal dog that he was.

If looks could kill, I would have dropped dead by now.

"Haruharu always claims he belongs to me— heart, mind, soul, and body," Moon Noa said. Even though he sounded like he was joking, he was actually serious. "That’s basically giving me permission to do whatever I want to him, right?"

Bambi and Ryu Sungbin didn’t react.

Aigoo.

Boring.

"Hanhan is guarding Haruharu in the room," Moon Noa said. "You can go and visit Haruharu. His doctor will be here in a few minutes. I’ll just talk to the director to have Haruharu’s blood tested."

"Alright," Bambi said, nodding. Then he paused for a moment. "Don’t misunderstand, Guide Moon Noa-ssi. Chief Kim Munhee wanted to personally check on Haru-nim, but she couldn’t since she was in Singapore for a business trip. That’s why she sent me here."

"I see~"

Bambi just sighed, and then he bowed politely towards Moon Noa before walking past him to get to Haru’s room.

To his surprise, Ryu Sungbin stayed.

"Oh, Binbin~ Do you have something to say to me?"

"Are you alright?"

Hmm?

Moon Noa was too stunned to react.

Did Binbin really ask if I’m alright?

"I heard you had an encounter with the serial killer before Haru came to your rescue," Ryu Sungbin explained calmly. "You’re not hurt anywhere?"

Ah, damn it.

Moon Noa couldn’t believe that his heart was wavering just because Ryu Sungbin showed him basic decency.

I know he’s not really worried about me, but this is enough to feed my delusions.

"I’m fine," Moon Noa said. "The technique Yuyu taught me saved my life."

"Ah. It’s the technique that Noh Yuno taught Bambi and the others, right?" Ryu Sungbin asked, letting out a sigh of relief. "Then I’m relieved to know it works. I don’t have to worry that much even if I arrive late to Bambi’s rescue."

Ouch.

And, just like that, Moon Noa’s delusion was shattered.

So, Binbin only asked if I was fine to know if Yuyu’s technique really worked against the serial killer. That stings a bit.

And Moon Noa’s pride was hurt as well.

"Thank you for telling me," Ryu Sungbin said, his face already back to being stoic. He then walked past Moon Noa without looking back. "Take care, Moon Noa."

Haaah.

Moon Noa felt pathetic.

Only Binbin can make me feel this way.

It’s more important that Leehan stays with Haruharu. If something bad happens to him, Japan will definitely attack Korea in retaliation.

It was Osaki Shohei–– one of Japan’s few S-Class Guides. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Japan is only a few hours away from Korea via private jet, so it’s no surprise that he’s already here.

His petite body makes him look androgynous, too.

"How long?"

"Noa-san, how long are you going to string Haru along until you’re satisfied?"

I did no such thing?

***

I’m glad Sajangnim survived the serial killer’s attack.

Shohei-san is here? Sajangnim must be in a tight spot then.
