Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: RESPECT

IF KI Gayoon had to describe his past relationship with Song Jia, then he would say it was strictly professional.

They were the same age, but they didn’t fool around.

Yes, they would touch each other and kiss a few times. But only during Guiding sessions. They never had a personal relationship.

And we lost contact as soon as I destroyed the Facility.

In fact, this was the first time Gayoon saw Song Jia in person after ten years.

Why would Lee Sarang bring Song Jia here? I know that they were pretty close when we were at the Facility. But Lee Sarang knows I only had a business relationship with Song Jia.

"It’s been a while, Gayoon-ssi."

Gayoon just nodded in response to Song Jia’s awkward greeting.

"Congratulations on finding your Guide," Song Jia said. She looked awkward, but she was talking calmly. As if it was a script that she had rehearsed again and again. "Won’t you introduce your Guide to me?"

Gayoon wanted to be sarcastic, but there was no need to be defensive.

And I like introducing Noh Yuno anyway.

"Song Jia, this is Noh Yuno— my partner and Exclusive Guide," Gayoon said proudly. "Yuno-ya, this is Song Jia— a former Guide at the Facility. We worked together a few times."

For real.

They would only call Song Jia when I was on the verge of a Rampage since, back then, she was the only one who had a 20% compatibility rate with me.

"It’s nice to meet you, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

Yuno nodded. "Same here, Guide Song Jia-ssi."

"Gayoon Oppa, I need a Guide!" Lee Sarang said before an awkward silence ensued. "And I want Jia Unnie to be my Guide!"

Gayoon scoffed. "You have Mo Hanjin."

"I don’t like him," Lee Sarang protested. "He’s ugly and weak!"

"You’ll regret saying that once you return to normal."

"Whatever," Lee Sarang said, hugging Song Jia’s arm. "Oppa, can we let Jia Unnie stay with us? I need Guiding!"

Ah, was this all a part of Ryu Sungbin’s plan?

But for what?

Are those bastards trying to sabotage my love life?

"Gayoon Oppa, are you listening?"

"Like I said, I don’t make decisions alone," Gayoon said, turning to Noh Yuno who looked as indifferent as ever. "What do you think, Yuno-ya?"

To be honest, he already knew what Noh Yuno would say.

It’s suspicious why Lee Sarang wants Song Jia to stay with us. Even I think it would be better to keep Lee Sarang and Song Jia where we could see them. So, this punk will probably agree to let Song Jia in our house to observe—

"No, I’d hate it," Noh Yuno said sternly. "I’m sorry, but Guide Song Jia can’t stay with us."

Gayoon covered his mouth with his hands when he let out a soft gasp.

Is this Noh Yuno being jealous?

***

"NO, I’D hate it," Yuno said sternly. "I’m sorry, but Guide Song Jia can’t stay with us."

Aigoo.

Did I really say that?

To be honest, Yuno knew that letting Song Jia stay with them would be the wiser choice.

Sometimes you have to purposely fall into the enemies’ trap to know what they’re planning to do.

He knew that.

I trust Gayoon Hyung, but I don’t want to use him as bait just to figure out Esper Ryu Sungbin-ssi’s plan.

Sarang Noona is older than me anyway.

They’re almost as precious as Sajangnim and Team Leader Bambi-ssi.

See? That reaction. It seems like Guide Song Jia-ssi is just being dragged around by Esper Lee Sarang-ssi.

And she should be.
