Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: KISS, KISS FALL IN LOVE

AIGOO.

Yuno raised an eyebrow when Ki Gayoon demanded a kiss from him as if he was entitled to it. "Ahjuhyung, do I need to give you a lecture about consent?"

Ki Gayoon frowned, and then he let out a defeated sigh. "I'm going to enter a high-level dungeon, but I can feel the Madness creeping into my head already. The refreshing feeling I got when you gave me Guiding for the first time is almost gone. I might suddenly go on a Rampage in the dungeon alone."

"Alone?"

"I'm raiding the dungeon on my own."

Crazy bastard.

But, to be honest, Yuno shouldn't be surprised.

It's normal for high-ranking Espers to clear a high-level dungeon on their own.

"I want to receive Guiding before I enter the dungeon," Ki Gayoon said. "So, please give me a kiss before I go. I know that our contract hasn't been finalized yet, but can you make an exception?"

The air in the grumpy old man was serious.

I guess he's trying to keep his Madness at bay.

Because if Ki Gayoon didn't control his Madness, he would have snapped already.

"Alright. I'll make an exception this time," Yuno said, then he leaned down and picked up an apple box from under the counter before he left his position. "I'm still a Guide, after all. I know how to separate work from my personal life."

"What are you going with that box?"

"Ahjuhyung is too tall for me and I don't want to break my neck," Yuno explained, placing the apple box in front of Ki Gayoon. Then he stood on it, smiling when he got at the same eye level as the Esper. "See? It will be easier to kiss this way."

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "I should be the one complaining about our height difference. My neck hurts every time I talk to you since I have to bend down to hear you most of the time."

"Are we going to kiss or not?"

"Give me permission to touch your body."

"For what?"

"For this," Ki Gayoon said, grabbing Yuno's waist while looking at his eyes intently. "Noh Yuno, do it right. You're a professional, aren't you?"

"Stop talking, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said, holding onto Gayoon's shoulders. He was nervous, but he was hoping it wouldn't show. But dang. The grumpy old man's intense gaze was making his knees weak. "Are you not going to close your eyes?"

Ki Gayoon smirked as if he could see Yuno's nervousness.

Fortunately, the grumpy old man closed his eyes without complaining.

Whew.

Let's get this done and over with.

Yuno took his time appreciating Ki Gayoon's handsome face first.

And, damn, this ahjussi smells nice.

"Noh Yuno, are you done admiring my face?"

Goddammit.

Yuno could sense the smile in Ki Gayoon's voice.

He knows I like his face!

It was embarrassing, but what could he do?

I do like this ahjussi's face.

When did this ahjussi put his hands on my innocent butt?!
