Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: WITCH HUNT

YUNO couldn’t help but worry after hearing that the official match between Ki Gayoon and Ryu Sungbin would take place in just eight days.

But it helped that Ki Gayoon looked calm.

Gayoon Hyung’s arrogance— er, confidence, puts my heart at ease.

"Hyung, were you informed in advance that the fight is happening in eight days?" Yuno asked while watching Ki Gayoon change in front of him. "You didn’t look surprised when they announced it on the TV earlier. Plus, you’re one of the stars of that match. So, it only makes sense that they sent you a notification or something."

"Yeah, they informed me in advance," Ki Gayoon said while putting on a fit white T-shirt that hugged his body well. "Plus, the government hired my construction company to renovate the stage to make it bigger and sturdier. They were confident about hiring us because they managed to extort a huge amount of money from Moon Noa."

Right, that made sense.

The government already owes Gayoon Hyung a lot of money. If they hadn’t asked Sajangnim to pay for my fine, then they wouldn’t have had the guts to hire Beom-seok Constructions to renovate the stage.

But...

"Hyung, can you really finish the renovation in just a week?"

"Yuno-ya, you’ll hurt my subordinates’ feelings if they hear you doubt their capabilities."

"It’s not that I’m doubting their capabilities. I’m just curious if the timeline is really feasible. What if the government just wants to embarrass your company?"

"We will use premium materials, and I’ll mobilize our elite construction workers," Ki Gayoon assured him. "I’ll put Baeko in charge since he’s both an architect and an engineer. His skills as an Esper are also related to building stuff. Hence, the renovation will be done on time."

Yuno just let Ki Gayoon yap because he was too busy admiring his boyfriend’s mouth-watering body.

Even though Hyung is only wearing a boring tracksuit, he still looks hot.

Oh, wait.

"Hyung, you’re not going to work?" Yuno asked curiously, lifting his head to meet Ki Gayoon’s eyes. "Are you going to train?"

"President Kwak Hakjae activated my personal Status Window recently, but I haven’t tested it yet," Ki Gayoon said casually. "So, I’m planning to train using it now that I have the time. I’ll bring Yang Youngjae as my sparring partner."

Yuno was so shocked at how casually Ki Gayoon dropped a bomb on him.

And it even looks like Hyung doesn’t know what he has just said.

"Yuno-ya, are you still listening?"

"Hyung, say that again."

Ki Gayoon tilted his head to one side. "I like you so much, Noh Yuno."

Aigoo!

Yuno rubbed his arms when Ki Gayoon’s cheesiness gave him goosebumps, but he alos couldn’t help but laugh softly. Because no matter how cheesy it was, it still made him feel giddy. "Hyung, did you say President Kwak Hakjae gave you a personal Status Window?"

"He activated my personal Status Window— he didn’t give it to me. It has always been there, but apparently, the System that oversees our world is too weak to activate all the Status Windows in the world," Ki Gayoon explained, sitting next to Yuno while wrapping an arm around his waist. "So, the System granted President Kwak Hakjae to activate the personal Status Window of the natural S-Class Espers in this country."

"Hyung, this is big news. For so long, we have relied on machines that President Kwak invented to determine an Awakened Person’s level and skills. But you have your own personal Status Window now. The entire world will be turned upside down!"

"It’s more like President Kwak Hakjae would get kidnapped and be forced to activate the personal Status Windows of other natural S-Class Espers in the world."

Oh, right. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

"There are only seventeen natural S-Class Espers in the entire world— in the records, at least," Yuno said while nodding his head. "But a few of those natural S-Class Espers belong to nations that are currently at war against one another. So, if they found out about President Kwak’s skill, they might pause their war and attack South Korea together."

"That’s why President Kwak Hakjae has been keeping it a secret for now."

"Is that also why you’ve never used your personal Status Window before?"

"The Top 5 Espers are as sensitive as me. I can’t let Ryu Sungbin know that I have a personal Status Window now."

That was a wise decision.

Having said that...

"Hyung, can you summon your Status Window?"

"I can, but you can’t see it," Ki Gayoon warned him. "Even President Kwak Hakjae can’t see my Status Window after he activated it."

Yuno just gave Ki Gayoon his best puppy dog eyes.

Ki Gayoon chuckled while tousling Yuno’s hair. "Alright. I’ll summon it."

As usual, Ki Gayoon snapped his fingers.

Yuno couldn’t explain it, but even if he couldn’t see Ki Gayoon’s Status Window, he could tell it had appeared between them like a curtain.

No wonder Gayoon Hyung said those who are sensitive would be able to feel it.

"Yuno-ya, put your hands on mine."

Hmm?

Ki Gayoon raised his hands, with his palms facing Yuno.

"Like giving you a high-five?" Yuno asked awkwardly, and then he gently pressed his hands against Ki Gayoon’s palms. "Am I doing this right?"

"I think so. Can you see it now?"

"See what..."

Yuno trailed off when, all of a sudden, a transparent Status Window appeared right in front of him.

It’s like a video game!

"Hyung, how did this happen?"

"Apparently, I can share my Status Window with my Exclusive Guide," Ki Gayoon explained. "And if we’re Imprinted, you can have your own Status Window."

"Wow. It sounds like the System is bribing me to Imprint with you, Hyung."

"I wouldn’t want you to Imprint with me for that reason."

Yuno just nodded, and then he checked Ki Gayoon’s Status Window.

[Name: Ki Gayoon

Level: S-Class

Main Ability: Earth Manipulation

Unique Trait: XXX]

"Sex?" Yuno asked, knitting his eyebrows at the ’XXX’ indicated as Ki Gayoon’s unique trait. "Hyung, is the ’Unique Trait’ here referring to the fact that you have good technique in bed?"

It was just a dumb joke, and he was glad his Esper got it.

Ki Gayoon laughed softly. "So, I’m good at sex?"

"I wouldn’t have continued sleeping with you if you suck at it, Hyung. You’ve come a long way from the person who said he’d just stick his dick in me."

"Don’t remind me of my dark past."

"Why does it say ’XXX?’"

"The System probably doesn’t want to show you my unique trait. It’s not censored in my eyes."

Oh.

"Then can you tell me what your unique trait is, Hyung?"

"I’ll tell you later."

Ah, so it was something that Ki Gayoon couldn’t tell him yet.

We have this secret base.

But I only used my "soft" flame on Leehan, so he’ll survive since he’s an S-Class Esper.
