Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: IT STARTED WITH A BET

WHEW.

To be honest, Yuno's heart was beating fast and hard against his chest because of the stupid stunt he had just pulled.

Did I really jump off the rooftop just to make a point?

He knew that Ki Gayoon would save him, but still...

I should seriously stop acting on my intrusive thoughts.

"Yuno-ya?"

Huh?

Hearing Ki Gayoon call Yuno in a friendly manner made his skin crawl. "What did you just call me?"

"Yuno-ya," Ki Gayoon said, even smiling "sweetly." "Didn't you tell me to call your name with honorifics? You're younger than me, so I can just call you 'Yuno-ya.'"

Argh.

Yuno didn't want to admit this, but even though the old bastard's smile was as fake as President Cheol Kang's hair, Ki Gayoon still looked handsome.

If only Esper Ki Gayoon wouldn't open his mouth, he'd be my type— no! Stop!

"Call me 'Yuno-ssi,'" Yuno insisted while internally condemning himself for almost getting blinded by Ki Gayoon's ridiculously handsome face. "We don't have a close relationship for you to call my name so fondly, Ahjussi."

"Stop calling me 'Ahjussi' and call me 'Hyung-nim' instead if you want me to change the way I call you."

"You know what? Hearing you call me 'Yuno-ya' doesn't sound so bad, Ahjussi."

"Fucking little shit. I'm only five years older than you."

"If Ahjussi wants me to call you 'Hyung-nim,' then you have to gain my respect first."

"Fuck you."

"No, thank you— you're not my type, Ahjussi."

Ki Gayoon's face turned red from anger, and it looked like he was barely stopping himself from strangling Yuno.

Heh.

Yuno just crossed his arms over his chest to assert dominance even though he was still in Ki Gayoon's arms.

Ahjussi is not going to throw me away literally, right?

Yuno's train of thought was interrupted when he heard a loud clicking sound.

It seemed like Ki Gayoon heard it as well since they turned to the source of the noise at the same time.

What the hell is my crazy boss doing now?

"Smile," Moon Noa said, holding his phone while taking continuous shots of Yuno while he was still in Ki Gayoon's arms. "I'm sending these pictures to Bambam~"

Yuno knitted his eyebrows. "Sajangnim, why would you send our pictures to Guide Bambi?"

"Because I want Bambam to die of high blood pressure and jealousy~"

Aigoo.

Why is Sajangnim so childish at his big age?

Yuno could only sigh and shake his head, and then he looked up at Ki Gayoon. "Ahjussi, you can put me down— aw!"

That heartless Ki Gayoon dropped Yuno before he could even finish his sentence.

He hit the ground with a loud thud.

My butt hurts!

Yuno raised his head to glare at Ki Gayoon.

"What?" Ki Gayoon asked, smirking while putting his hands in his pockets. The old bastard was obviously looking down on Yuno. "We don't have a close relationship for me to give you the princess treatment, right? But I'll think about it if you call me 'Hyung-nim.'"

Why is this ahjussi obsessed with making me call him 'Hyung-nim?' That only makes me want to defy him even more.

Haaah.

Why is living so hard?

And he's known as Guide Bambi's "love slave" in the Awakened World.

For someone who acts tough, Ahjusii has a limited vocabulary when it comes to insults.
