Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: PRETTY SAVAGE

YUNO could finally breathe after leaving Chief Kim Munhee’s office.

Dealing with the chief really drains me.

"Noh Yuno, I didn’t get half of the things Kim Munhee said. And I hated how smug the sly fox looked as if he was bragging that he solved your problem for you," Ki Gayoon explained. "You didn’t forget that you said you’d explain everything to me, right?"

"Yes, but let’s talk about it once we arrive at Busan," Yuno said in a tired voice. "Let’s visit Guide Mo Hanjin-ssi first. I’ll fix him quickly before Chief Kim changes her mind."

"Are you afraid of the chief?"

"Of course, I am. Chief Kim is the big boss of all Guides."

"You’re afraid of the chief who’s just a mid-ranking Guide, and yet you don’t even stutter when you talk back to me?"

Aigoo.

"I’m afraid of you, Hyung," Yuno said, and it wasn’t like he was lying. "Running my mouth is just my defense mechanism."

"Bullshit."

Tsk.

Yuno was about to tell Ki Gayoon to stop sulking when, suddenly, the ground shook.

It wasn’t an earthquake, though.

This feeling...

"Crazy. Two powerful Espers are getting heated," Yuno said in disbelief. "Hyung, your "siblings" are probably fighting."

Because only the naturally awakened Espers could give Yuno the chills.

Their aura is really different from regular Espers.

"It’s Matthew and Lee Sarang," Ki Gayoon said, sighing. "Lee Sarang has the patience of a saint. So if she’s willing to fight Matthew, then Matthew probably fucked up so bad."

Right?

"Go and stop them, Hyung. I would go with you, but Guides only get in the way of Espers in a fight."

"Why would I stop those two brats from fighting?"

"Because if two naturally awakened S-Class Espers fight, the building might collapse. What if I get buried underneath?"

"How would that happen if I’m here next to you? I’m an earth manipulator, remember?"

"I don’t like seeing buildings collapse," Yuno said bluntly. Well, he tried to sound as nonchalant as he could. But, even to his own ears, his voice sounded sad. "Some of my E-Class Guides friends died after getting buried in rubbles."

Ki Gayoon looked at Yuno with a knot on his forehead, and then he sighed. "Alright," he said, his voice softer than usual. "But I can’t leave you here alone."

"Then I’ll babysit our dear Yuno~"

Yuno turned around and beamed when he saw the familiar face that he hadn’t seen in a while. "Leehan Hyung."

***

TSK.

Ki Gayoon was annoyed after seeing Matthew and Lee Sarang about to get into a serious fight.

He really didn’t care about the two, but if those kids really ended up fighting, then the building would have collapsed. Even if some parts of the National Guide Bureau were made by Beom-seok Constructions, two naturally awakened S-Class Espers could still make it collapse.

["I don’t like seeing buildings collapse. Some of my E-Class Guides friends died after getting buried in rubbles."]

That was the first time Gayoon saw and heard Noh Yuno talk about his past.

And that punk looks sad.

For some reason, seeing Noh Yuno sad pissed him off.

"If the building collapses because of you and my Guide gets hurt accidentally, I’m going to kill both of you."

Fortunately, Matthew and Lee Sarang stopped right away.

"Gayoon Oppa," Lee Sarang greeted Ki Gayoon with puppy dog eyes. "Matthew Oppa started it."

"The hell I did," Matthew complained. "You were the one who poked your nose in my business, Lee Sarang—"

"Shut up, Matthew."

Matthew turned to Gayoon in disbelief. "Hyung, why am I the only one you’re telling to shut up? Lee Sarang snitched first!"

"Don’t make me repeat my words, brat."

Matthew was about to protest, but he shut his mouth when Gayoon glared at him.

If it wasn’t for Noh Yuno, I wouldn’t babysit these two.

"It’s okay to fight, but don’t do it in a place where Guides could get hurt or die," Gayoon said, glancing at the young Guide next to Lee Sarang. "Are you still going to fight?"

"No, Oppa," Lee Sarang said, grabbing the young Guide by the arm. "I’m actually on my way to visit Hanjin Oppa with Jaeha. We heard Yuno-ssi was headed there, too."

"Yes, but—"

"Then we’ll go ahead, Oppa," Lee Sarang said, cutting Ki Gayoon off. "See you later."

Just like that, Lee Sarang and the young Guide walked past him.

Matthew tried to follow the two, but Gayoon blocked his way.

"Stay here and cool your head," Gayoon said sternly before turning his back on Matthew. He then followed Lee Sarang. "Lee Sarang, wait."

Lee Sarang, who was waiting for the elevator with the young Guide with her, turned to Gayoon with a bright smile on her face. "Yes, Oppa?"

"You’re one of the few people I allow to cut me off when talking."

"Oh, I’m sorry about that, Oppa. I didn’t mean to..."

But I don’t want Noh Yuno to be involved in Lee Sarang and her exclusive Guide’s business further, so I have to solve it before that nosy punk feels like he has to step up for someone else again.

***

Because the Researchers needed Espers to test the Guides’ abilities.

I almost forgot that Sajangnim is close to Japan’s dethroned Crown Prince.
