Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: A LOOSE SCREW

DID this grumpy old man really fall asleep?

Yuno’s arms were starting to feel numb, and he wasn’t tempted to pull his hands away from Ki Gayoon’s ridiculously handsome face.

But he had a conscience, so he wouldn’t.

He knew that Ki Gayoon was tired from clearing a dungeon alone. And the fact that he was here unharmed only meant that he succeeded.

So, this was Yuno’s little way of thanking Ki Gayoon for protecting the country.

That and...

Ahjuhyung looks nice when his mouth is shut.

As a BL artist, Yuno would say that Ki Gayoon’s face was the kind of face that would make readers turn a blind eye to his red flags.

Ahjuhyung looks like a handsome jerk, and he is.

Heh.

Yuno realized that he let out a chuckle when Ki Gayoon’s eyes suddenly shot open.

Fuck.

That scared me!

Ki Gayoon looked at Yuno with a bewildered look on his face. "Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said, slowly and carefully removing his hands from Ki Gayoon’s face. "My arms almost fell numb."

"I can’t believe I fell asleep so carelessly..."

"It’s alright, Ahjuhyung. I can’t kill you anyway even if I wanted to, so you can lower your guard around me."

"Why would you want me to lower my guard around you?"

"Because it makes Guiding easier when we have trust between the two of us?"

"Trust? Between us?" Ki Gayoon asked in a mocking tone while standing up, and then he looked down at him with a smirk. "Do you hear what you’re saying, you little rusty shit?"

Aigoo.

Yuno closed his eyes tight while clasping his hands together. "To whomever deity watches over me, please push Ahjuhyung’s hairline a bit further from his forehead."

"Yah!"

***

OH, DAMN.

Yuno’s knees almost gave out when he saw the status of the house that he called home for the last five years.

It was completely destroyed.

Thank goodness I put all the important stuff in my Inventory!

Even so, it was still sad to see the state of his house.

"You don’t have a house anymore, so just live with me," Ki Gayoon, who was standing next to him, said. "I’m responsible for you from now on anyway."

"Ahjuhyung, the stairs were destroyed," Yuno said, ignoring what the grumpy old man just said. And then he looked up at him with an innocent look on his face. "Can you bring me up there?"

He would have asked Lee Haerin or Yang Dal-sik.

But his colleagues were busy cleaning up the store.

They let me have a day off because my house was destroyed.

"What will you do up there?" Ki Gayoon asked with knitted eyebrows. "I can just buy you new stuff—"

"If you don’t want to, then just say so," Yuno complained, and then he pointed at the person waiting for them at the car. If he remembered correctly, it was Esper Baekho— Ki Gayoon’s infamous right-hand man known as a former thug before the Doomsday. "I can just ask Esper Baekho to—"

"Why would you do that when I’m here?" Ki Gayon retorted, cutting off Yuno this time. And then the grumpy old man suddenly scooped him into his arms. "There better be something worth it up there."

***

It goes without saying that everything is destroyed inside the house, too.

In short, this ahjussi called me crazy!

He’s already in his thirties, and yet he’s still so childish.

And, yes, Ahjuhyung’s laugh sounds expensive.

So freaking handsome.
