Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY?

"I DON’T care if you pick a fight with me— but if you’re going to be upset with me, then do it while staying by my side. You’re not allowed to stay out of my sight, Noh Yuno."

Aigoo.

Look at how possessive this grumpy old man sounds.

To be honest, this wasn’t the reaction Yuno was hoping for.

I thought Ahjuhyung would be upset that I photoshopped his photo to make him bald before making merch out of them. But why is he more upset that I refuse to go home?

Come to think of it, Ki Gayoon looked more aggravated than usual.

Oh, right.

An Esper who just came out of a dungeon is usually this way.

Yuno was about to grab Ki Gayoon and bring him to the Guiding Room, but then Ahjuhyung suddenly spoke.

"I’m sorry."

CRASH.

That was the sound of stuff falling and breaking on the floor.

No, it wasn’t Yuno.

Bambi dropped his pen, Rebecca dropped the bottle of nail polish, and Mo Hanjin dropped the game console.

The three looked more shocked than Yuno after hearing Ki Gayoon apologize.

Well, it is shocking that the great Esper Ki Gayoon-nim apologized to me.

"You don’t have to accept my apology right away, but don’t leave the house," Ki Gayoon said. He still sounded grumpy as usual, but there was a certain amount of warmth in his voice this time. "Let’s just fight at home."

Pfft.

What’s Ahjuhyung’s obsession with fighting at home?

"I can’t go home yet, but stay here, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said, sitting down. "I’ll book a Private Guiding Room for us— let’s continue our fight there while I’m Guiding you."

THE GUIDING ROOM.

As its name suggested, it was a room for Guides and Espers to do their thing.

Rooms like these don’t exist in the past, but now we have them— rooms that look like fancy hotel suites for Guides and Espers to fuck.

Wild, huh?

Only Guides and Espers with more than a 75% matching rate could book a Private Guiding Room, though.

Guides and Espers with lower matching rates were stationed on other floors that looked like a noraebang/karaoke bar. Private spaces with comfortable sofas were provided there, but the walls were thin and not soundproof.

After all, Guides and Espers with low matching rates were only allowed to do basic skinship such as holding hands and hugging. Sometimes, light kissing was allowed. But that was it and that was all they needed anyway.

In the first place, Guides and Espers with more than a 75% matching rate are the minority.

To simply put, a Private Guiding Room that looked like a hotel suite was a privilege.

A privilege that we’re not using?

"Ahjuhyung, are you really satisfied with just this?"

By "this," Yuno meant cuddling on the large and soft bed— he was the "little spoon," and Ki Gayoon was the "big spoon."

"Yes, this is enough," Ki Gayoon said sleepily, his face buried against Yuno’s neck. "If we do more than this, then I’ll get fully recharged right away. Then you’ll use that as an excuse to run away from me again."

"Excuse me?" Yuno asked, offended. "I didn’t run away from you. Excessive Guiding is just as bad as getting drained of Mana. I’m your Guide, so you should listen to me. I know what’s best for you, Ahjuhyung."

"Stop calling me that."

"Then make me stop being upset. I appreciate your apology, but I’m still waiting for your explanation."

Ki Gayoon fell silent for a moment, and then he sighed before spilling the beans. "You said you’ll return to your house as soon as it’s fixed."

But if it’s cringe, I’ll tease the hell out of Ahjuhyung—

Aigoo. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Typical Esper mindset.

The bar is in hell for Espers.
