Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92: LOVER’S QUARREL?

"WHEN DID Yuno-kun become so dumb?"

Moon Noa blinked, confused at the scene that greeted him after he showered.

He was wondering why Haru was half-naked (only wearing the bottom of a navy blue silk pajamas) on his bed while reading a book titled ’Hangul for Dummies.’

Haruharu is already fluent in Korean, so he doesn’t need that.

Moreover...

"Why are you in my room, Haruharu?" Moon Noa asked while drying his hair with a towel. He wondered if Haru wore that specific pair of pajamas to match with him. "I lent you the biggest guest room in my house, which has a connecting bathroom. So, why are you here?"

"I want to sleep with you. Why else?"

"If you’re not a foreigner, I would have misunderstood. Haruharu, don’t say it like that because the person you’re talking to might think you’re asking them to have sex with you. Just say you want to sleep together."

"Who said I misspoke?"

"Yah. Do you want me to kick you out of my house?"

Haru gave Moon Noa the boyish grin the ex-prince knew he couldn’t resist. "I take it back."

"Yeah?"

"The serial killer is on the loose, and you’re definitely one of his targets. I know Leehan is a good bodyguard, but I’m stronger than him. Hence, you’re safer with me, Noa-san," Haru said casually. He didn’t sound arrogant because he had the skill to back up his claims. "Until we catch the serial killer, let’s sleep together."

That was a reasonable request.

But...

"Wear your shirt," Moon Noa said, tearing his gaze away from Haru’s sinfully gorgeous body. "Don’t even think about seducing me, Haruharu."

"It’s not my fault if you get seduced, Noa-san."

"Wear your shirt."

"Yes, sir."

Moon Noa counted one to ten in his mind before he turned to Haru again.

The ex-prince wore his shirt, alright.

But...

"Are you a child?" Moon Noa complained, sitting on the before buttoning Haru’s top. Yes, the prince wore his shirt but he didn’t button it. "You did this on purpose, didn’t you?"

Haru smiled charmingly. "I’m just doing you a favor since you like my body—"

"Do you want to sleep on the couch?"

Haru just chuckled, and then he acted like he was zipping his mouth.

"So, what were you saying about Yuyu?" Moon Noa asked, changing the topic. "Why are you calling my kid ’dumb?’"

"I just find it funny that Yuno-kun can tell right away that I’m in love with you, but he seems oblivious to Gayoon-san’s budding feelings for him."

Haaah.

It wasn’t like it was Haru’s first time saying that he was in love with Moon Noa, but this brat would often catch him off guard with his random and casual confessions.

He’s definitely doing it on purpose to watch my reaction.

So, Moon Noa ignored Haru’s confession and maintained a poker face.

And now the brat looks sad.

"Yuyu isn’t dense. He just truly believes that he’s not worthy of love," Moon Noa said, changing the topic. Fortunately, that got Haru’s attention and improved his mood immediately. "No— actually, Yuyu doesn’t want anyone to fall in love with him because he thinks he’s "cursed.""

YUNO could tell that Ki Gayoon was angry.

He also knew why, but he thought the Esper was overreacting.

"I know Hyung thinks Guides are weak— and you’re right— but we’re not completely helpless," Yuno argued. "And the opponent is a Guide. I can take away their ability, Hyung. That’s why I said I want to catch the serial killer myself."

That didn’t improve Ki Gayoon’s mood.

In fact, the Esper looked even more pissed now.

He’s even glaring at me.

"Noh Yuno, you never hesitated in dragging me into your business before. You use my name shamelessly when it’s convenient to you, and you even made me your champion when you fought with your colleague," Ki Gayoon said in an eerily calm voice. He wasn’t yelling, but the lack of emotion in his voice was scarier. "You claim you have no pride, so you don’t care when people call you a coward for hiding behind my back."

Well, that was true.

My pride only comes out when people keep calling me ’little.’

"So, why are you suddenly acting like a hero now?" Ki Gayoon complained. "If you want to catch that serial killer, then use me— tell me to catch that bastard for you."

"I considered that option," Yuno admitted. "But I realized that this is my business..."

Because the serial killer might be an E-Class Guide.

That was the part that Yuno couldn’t tell Ki Gayoon yet because he had no evidence yet to support his claim.

"Your business?"

Oh.

Yuno didn’t know why, but Ki Gayoon looked angrier now.

What did I say wrong this time?

"Noh Yuno, you’re pissing me off."

"I could say the same to you, Hyung," Yuno complained, feeling wronged. "Tell me why I’m pissing you off. I’m not a mind reader, so I wouldn’t know why you’re upset if you just glared at me."

"Can’t you figure that out yourself?"

"I’m not exactly good at figuring out other people’s feelings towards me."

"Haaah."

Ki Gayoon let out a long, frustrated sigh.

Well, Yuno knew that he was a frustrating person. So, he wouldn’t really be surprised if the Esper ended up walking out on him.

"I’ll sleep here."

"Yeah, you should return to your room..." Yuno trailed off when he realized that what Ki Gayoon said was different from his assumption. "What?"

"I’ll sleep here with you."

"But why? I thought you were upset with me, Hyung."

"I am," Ki Gayoon while loosening up his tie. "Noh Yuno, do you remember when I said if you were going to be mad at me, do it while staying by my side?"

"Yes...?"

Yep, that one.

***

I CAN’T believe Hyung is still sulking.

Is Hyung a kid? We’re sharing the same bed, but he has his back on me as if he’s protesting. I mean, it’s not like I want to stare at his handsome face. But it’s annoying because he’s announcing that he’s sulking with all his body.

Hyung is obsessed with "keeping" me alive because he thinks I’m suicidal. I mean, I’m not that exactly determined to live. But that doesn’t mean I want to kill myself.

If I died, Hyung would lose the Exclusive Guide that took him at least ten years to find.

That fit white T-shirt really emphasizes Hyung’s strong back.

No, focus— Noh Yuno, stop acting like a hormonal teenager.

Oh, he’s interested.

So that he’ll finally stop sulking.

"That’s why I said this is my business," Yuno said carefully. "The situation right now is more serious than the previous incidents where I got you involved. That’s why, this time, I don’t want Hyung to put your life at risk just because of me."
