Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: ONE-SIDED MATCH

"YOONYOON was smiling when I went to him to wish him good luck."

Yuno almost choked on his popcorn because of what Moon Noa said.

But his boss wasn’t done "interrogating" him yet.

"Did you already tell him that you plan to give him a proper Guiding after the match?"

"Yes, Sajangnim," Yuno said, his eyes glued to the fighting arena because he was too embarrassed to face his boss. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"I just thought it would have been more of a surprise had you told Yoonyoon about your reward after the match," Moon Noa complained lightheartedly. Honestly, whining shouldn’t have suited a forty-year-old man like him. But Moon Noa’s youthful and pretty face made up for it. "I think Yoonyoon’s surprised face after the match would have been funnier."

This must be why Ahjuhyung doesn’t like Sajangnim.

"Don’t you think so, Yuyu?"

"Sajangnim, that kind of surprise is only reserved between lovers," Yuno said bluntly. "I told Ahjuhyung about his reward before the match because I want him to go beyond my expectations."

"Ah, I see."

He knew that his boss was disappointed with his answer, but he didn’t regret it.

"Yuyu."

"Yes, Sajangnim?"

"Don’t make the same mistake as you did recently, okay?" Moon Noa reminded him. "Don’t let Yoonyoon suck out your life force again."

"Yes, Sajangnim. I know this will sound like a lame excuse, but I probably lowered my guard because it was my first time Guiding an Esper after a long time."

It was different from the time he did an Emergency Guiding on Ki Gayoon before.

After all, it was just skinship.

Yuno could only use his life force to guide an Esper through kissing or sex.

"Yuyu, you know what will happen once you guide Yoonyoon the "E-Class way," don’t you?" Moon Noa asked him carefully. "You can’t hide your presence anymore once you start."

Right.

There was a reason why not even an S-Class Guide like Bambi couldn’t tell that he was a Guide during their first meeting.

I was able to hide my presence from Espers and Guides because my ability was sealed.

But...

"It’s alright, Sajangnim," Yuno said confidently while looking at Ki Gayoon’s (ridiculously) handsome face on the big screen. "Ahjuhyung can protect me."

"GAYOON Oppa looks like he’s in a good mood."

Bambi heard what Lee Sarang said, and he silently agreed with her.

Normally, a comment like that could make the Esper’s Guide jealous.

But Mo Hanjin— Lee Sarang’s exclusive Guide— didn’t care because he was busy playing games on his phone. In fact, Mo Hanjin was sitting on the other end of the sofa as if he didn’t want to be near Lee Sarang.

"Did that bastard get more handsome again?" Jin Sooin complained, sitting on the other sofa like a queen while having red wine. "Why does he age like a fine wine?"

"Isn’t it because he’s the devil reincarnate?" Rebecca asked playfully while leaning her head on Jin Sooin’s shoulder. "A devil should at least be that handsome if they want to tempt humans into committing sins."

"That’s so fucking corny," Matthew— who was sitting on a recliner sofa with the quiet Kim Jaeha on his lap— complained. "Ki Gayoon isn’t that handsome."

Bambi turned to Matthew. "I know you don’t like Gayoon Hyung, but don’t lie. He’s handsome."

Matthew just rolled his eyes.

"Is Ki Gayoon more handsome than me?"

Haaah.

It wasn’t Matthew but Ryu Sungbin who threw that question at Bambi.

Why is he being childish?

Bambi looked at Ryu Sungbin who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "Hyung, let’s not do this here."

Ryu Sungbin raised an eyebrow. "Why? Is it a difficult question to answer?"

Just like that, the atmosphere in that VIP Box Section room went cold.

Haaah.

"Then answer this first, Hyung," Bambi said, smiling at Ryu Sungbin sarcastically. "Is Guide Moon Noa-ssi prettier than me?"

Ryu Sungbin opened his mouth to speak, but...

"Oh!" Kim Jaeha exclaimed loudly, the maknae’s eyes glued to the arena. "That was fast."

What just happened?

***

Well, that bastard is still an S-Class Esper blessed with a sturdy body.

After all, as soon as the buzz went off, the entire fighting arena had been under Gayoon’s <House Sharing Skill>.

And it was also a skill that he was showing the world for the first time.
