Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: SECRET IS OUT

"DON’T even think about escaping, Lee Sarang," Ki Gayoon warned Lee Sarang, leaning against the door while crossing his arms over his chest. "I already called Moon Noa. We need someone as black-hearted as that man if we’re going to fight Bambi and the others."

Lee Sarang pouted, but she remained lying down on the bed— under the comforter. "Oppa, are you not going to ask me what I’ve been doing for the past few years?"

"Do you remember?"

"..."

Of course, Lee Sarang wouldn’t.

If she could remember, she wouldn’t have stayed with those bastards.

"I have never had a decent conversation with you until now," Gayoon said, sighing. "It seems like Mo Hanjin messes your mind more than your Rampage does."

"Oppa, you’re right when you said we’ve only had a decent conversation recently. I mean, one that I remember clearly."

Right.

There was a time that Lee Sarang wanted to talk to Noh Yuno. But, after Mo Hanjin guided her, she completely forgot about what she wanted to say.

"Yuno’s guiding is different from other Guides, Oppa."

"Well, he’s the only E-Class Guide that has given you guiding."

"No, Yuno’s guiding is really strange, Oppa," Lee Sarang said in a serious tone. "I don’t remember what happened when the Ice Queen took over, but I remember the feeling of Yuno’s touch. That’s probably how I returned to normal instantly."

"Explain."

"When we were at the Facility, back when the compatibility rate test wasn’t a thing yet, the Researchers had all classes of Guides give us guiding. We even had Moon Noa-nim as a Guide for a short period of time. Remember?"

"Yes, having Moon Noa as my Guide— albeit temporary— is one of my most horrible experiences as an Esper."

Lee Sarang chuckled, but when she spoke again, her voice remained serious. "Oppa, no matter what class they are, a Guide uses Mana to purify our corrupted Mana. But the thing Yuno used to guide me wasn’t Mana— and I’m sure of it." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "If not Mana, then what?"

"Ah, let me correct myself. It is Mana, but there’s something else— and that something else is purer than Mana. Purer and more powerful."

A thing that was purer than Mana?

Gayoon wanted to argue that Lee Sarang must have been mistaken because she wasn’t in her right mind back then.

However, he suddenly remembered the times that Yuno coughed up blood.

"Lee Sarang, I wouldn’t know since I’ve only met a few Guides after we left the Facility. But is it normal for Guides to cough up blood after guiding?"

"I’ve met Guides who fainted since I wasn’t compatible with them, but I haven’t met a Guide who coughed up blood after guiding. Moon Noa-nim didn’t cough up blood during the time he served as our Guide."

Right.

Granted that Moon Noa was an S-Class Guide, it was still strange for Noh Yuno to cough up blood.

E-Class Guides seem as special as S-Class Guides, after all.

"Oppa, there’s only one thing purer than Mana," Lee Sarang said in a serious tone. "It’s life force."

Gayoon’s eyes widened in shock.

Is Noh Yuno using his life force to guide us?!

"I’VE MISSED you my son— now come to papa."

Eww.

Yuno had huge respect for Moon Noa, but not right now.

His boss said something so disgusting to hear that he couldn’t stop himself from making a face.

"Yuyu, your expression hurts my soul."

"Then don’t say something like that again, Sajangnim. It hurts my ears," Yuno complained after letting Moon Noa in Ki Gayoon’s penthouse. "And please stop calling me your son. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea."

"You don’t want to be my heir, Yuyu?" Moon Noa asked teasingly. "I’m pretty sure you love HoneyMoon. I’ll let you inherit all my wealth if you become my son~"

"Nah, I don’t want to fight Sajangnim’s greedy relatives for your fortune. And why would you even name me your heir? What if Sajangnim and Haru-nim decide to adopt a child later?"

"Why are you suddenly bringing up Haruharu? He has already gone back to Japan."

"Sajangnim, did you end your vague relationship with Haru-nim?"

Moon Noa just smiled.

Ah, that smile— it was a smile that warned Yuno to stop asking questions about his boss’ private life.

Sajangnim looks scary when he’s smiling like that.

"Noa Hyung, why are you scaring my boyfriend with that creepy smile of yours?"

"Oh, wow. I can’t believe you, Yoonyoon," Moon Noa complained, even putting his hands on his waist to show dominance. "I raised Yuyu as a single father all this time. And yet you’re already being so overprotective of my son when you haven’t even celebrated your first monthsary yet, huh?"

Yuno turned to Ki Gayoon.

Actually, he had to look up because his boyfriend was so damn tall.

"Is Sarang Noona already asleep?"

"Yeah," Ki Gayoon said, and then he looked down at Yuno with a blank look on his face. "Noh Yuno, you..."

"Yes?"

"Later," Ki Gayoon said, ruffling Yuno’s hair before turning to Moon Noa. "Where’s your dog?"

Is Leehan Hyung the "dog" in this conversation?

If they sent Sarang Noona here, then they’re probably keeping an eye on her.

***

And that’s why we need Sajangnim’s close relationship with the reporters for this plan.
