[Title: I saw Yiili at the Cheongyeon Guild]

Saw Yiili at the guild today.

He was walking around with the Guild Leader.

They looked around the cafeteria and cafe, and I heard they toured all of our guild’s welfare facilities.

He doesn’t feel creepy at all in person, just like a regular person.

Yiili’s head is super small and super white, and he’s short lol.

Maybe he seems short because he was with the Guild Leader.

Yiili was surprising, but it was also surprising that the Guild Leader was walking around with him.

—Whoever said Kwon Muyoung would properly monitor Yiili, come out here lol. That crazy bastard, instead of tying him up and locking him away, he’s walking around with him.

└Kwon Muyoung stans are hopelessㅉㅉ

—I saw another post saying they saw him walking around with JDG tooㅠ so creepy.

└JDG is whatever, but what about Kwon Muyoung…

└What’s wrong with JDG?

└Like that kid has any deep thoughts, he’s got a long way to go before he grows up.

└Passing Jeong Dakyung fan, ouch, that hurts.

[Title: They shouldn’t have given him back to Kwon Muyoung in the first place]

Supernatural Management Bureau, you incompetent bastards

Comments

—The law doesn’t allow it, sir.

└They should have done something anyway.

└They should have taken him back even if it meant changing the law. Who do they think Kwon Muyoung is to trust him with that?

—Why did they give him back after entrusting him to Kwon Muyoung? ㅠ They should have just kept him.

└I’m disappointed in Kwon Muyoung too, it seems like he acted too thoughtlessly.

[Title: What’s so dangerous about Yiili?]

Haven’t they revealed anything about what his options are?

They’re already treating him like a plague..

Comments

—Frankly, wouldn’t we only find out what Yiili is capable of when he kills someone? We need to be careful beforehand.

└If he kills someone, that’s mild. What if he’s like an explosive item? Then multiple people would die.

└But that’s the same even if the Supernatural Management Bureau keeps him locked up… He’s a sentient being with emotions, isn’t it better to try to persuade him?

└You’re living in a fantasy world.

└I think you’re the one with low intelligence lol.

[Title: The Doomsday Cult surprisingly hates Yiili]

They say he’s the one who will bring about a false apocalypse.

Comments

—There are real and fake apocalypses?

└In the real apocalypse, you’re saved by God, but in the fake apocalypse, you aren’t.

└Is this guy from the Doomsday Cult?

└Escaped.

└Scary *shiver shiver*

[Title: The Crayon Religion calls Yiili an apostle]

Apostle of the End, they say.

Comments

—lol That’s hilarious.

└So, Yiili serves…? them?

└Yeah, they’re saying to send him to them.

└Send him? What are these crazy people talking about?

└It’s shitty that Yiili is out there, but it’s also shitty to send him to them.

—What’s their full name, by the way?

└Crepusculum

└I thought it was Crepuscoolum this whole time.

└It’s Crepusculum.

[Title: After the Rift incident, the number of cults has increased worldwide]

It’s really something to be proud of that we have one of the most notorious cults in our country, my ass. Are they crazy? The Doomsday Cult.

Comments

—The Doomsday Cult leader is bald.

└Even so, is it okay to make fun of someone for their hair? ;

└Are you part of the Doomsday Cult?

└No, I’m baldㅠ

└Sorry.

[Title: Honestly, I have some weird thoughts about Kwon Muyoung keeping Yiili]

Yiili is really pretty.

Did they do it?

Comments

—What the fuck, are you crazy?

—God, please return my brain to before I saw this post.

└It’s not like I enjoy thinking this way;; It just doesn’t make sense why Kwon Muyoung is acting so weird all of a sudden, it’s not like he got shot in the head.

—Is Kwon Muyoung gay?

└He had a girlfriend, so he’s probably bi.

└Whatever.

—Wasn’t Kwon Muyoung’s last girlfriend like 7 years ago? I guess he found a new love.

—Is this fucking RPF or something?

└No, it’s notㅡㅡ

—#Harlequin #HandsomeMaleLead #HunterMaleLead #BeautifulMaleLead #Non-humanMaleLead

└What the fuck.

Muyoung received a phone call from his parents after a long time. It was a completely useless call. Telling him to return Lim Sunyul to the Supernatural Management Bureau, saying that keeping him would only be detrimental…

“I’ll handle it myself. Don’t call me about this.”

Muyoung hung up without listening to the rest of what his parents had to say, about how they were only saying this for his benefit.

He hadn’t had any particularly deep emotional connection with his parents. He was grateful for the affluent life they had provided him in his childhood, but that didn’t mean he had to listen to their nagging.

Muyoung ignored the ringing phone again. It had already been almost ten days since he showed Sunyul around the guild. The blazing interest had died down somewhat, but there were still some fanatics left.

Everyone was so talkative, as if they could handle it themselves. Even though he had said countless times that Lim Sunyul wasn’t dangerous.

Lim Sunyul isn’t dangerous. Muyoung opened his status window for the first time in a while.

Survival Strategy (S):The best strategy for survival. Ability to detect all kinds of dangerous elements is enhanced.

The detection ability of [Survival Strategy] was sometimes close to precognition. Even things that seemed to have no immediate danger were sensitively detected by this trait. However, there was no such indication with Lim Sunyul.

His trait guaranteed it, and his gut feeling pointed that way. When the two aligned, Muyoung’s judgment had never been wrong.

The people who had trusted Muyoung’s trait until now were denying it based on reasons that weren’t even visible. Of course, from their perspective, Muyoung’s reasons were also invisible, so they couldn’t believe him.

He knew that his reasons would feel vague to others. He wished he had clear, visible evidence.

“…….”

Muyoung got up. He sensed another presence in the quiet house. It was an unfamiliar sensation since no one other than Muyoung had slept in this house since he moved in.

After a moment of contemplation, Muyoung quietly headed towards Sunyul’s room. Confirming Sunyul inside through the carelessly open door, Muyoung entered the room.

Sunyul was sleeping soundly, unaware of anyone entering.

Muyoung sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked down at Sunyul. Then, suddenly, he reached out and caressed Sunyul’s cheek. It was soft and warm. To the point where it was hard to believe he was an item.

In the darkness, Muyoung stared at Sunyul for a while. Even as he thought it was about time for him to wake up, he wasn’t tired of looking at Sunyul, so he continued to stare.

“……Ugh.”

Suddenly, Sunyul let out a low groan.

Muyoung thought he was waking up from the presence. However, instead of opening his eyes, Sunyul suddenly raised his hand and clutched at his chest.

“Ugh… ugh, uck.”

Sunyul trembled, groaning in pain.

“Lim Sunyul.”

Muyoung called out to Sunyul urgently. But Sunyul didn’t react to his words. Instead, he only writhed violently, letting out more painful groans.

“Argh! H-Argh…”

“Lim Sunyul, calm down.”

“I-It hurts… H-Hurts, a-argh…”

Sunyul’s suddenly opened eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. Just by looking at him, it was clear that Sunyul’s pain wasn’t fake.

Muyoung grabbed Sunyul’s hands, which were clawing at his own flesh. Sunyul, his wrists gripped tightly, trembled, not knowing what to do.

“Stay still.”

“No, no… H-Ugh…”

It didn’t seem like staying still would make it go away. Muyoung took a painkiller potion from his inventory.

It was a strong painkiller, enough to affect even him, an S-rank. Sunyul had said medicine worked on him, so this should be able to alleviate the pain.

“Drink this.”

“H…”

Sunyul couldn’t properly swallow the painkiller that Muyoung poured into his mouth. Seeing the painkiller dribbling out, Muyoung clicked his tongue and poured the rest into his own mouth. Then, grabbing Sunyul’s chin, he kissed him, pouring the medicine directly into his mouth.

After being directly fed the medicine, Sunyul, who seemed to be resisting for a moment, swallowed it. Wiping his wet lips, Muyoung observed Sunyul. It was a strong painkiller, but Sunyul still seemed to be in pain.

“……Sigh, Lim Sunyul.”

He could only sigh, not knowing what to do. If Sunyul were a normal person, he would have called a healer, but… Sunyul was classified as an item. A very suspicious item at that.

He couldn’t carelessly reveal the fact that Sunyul was sick to the outside world. He didn’t know how the Supernatural Management Bureau would react if he reported Sunyul’s abnormality. They could very well try to retrieve him, claiming he was a suspicious item. Especially with public opinion already being so negative.

In the end, there wasn’t much he could do.

Muyoung pulled the trembling Sunyul into his arms and sat him on his lap. As he wrapped Sunyul’s arms around his body, Sunyul began to claw and scratch at Muyoung’s back. It wasn’t a particularly strong force, so it didn’t hurt much.

Muyoung patted Sunyul’s back. Until the strength left Sunyul’s hands and he lost consciousness again. He continued.

Thinking countless thoughts.

⊹₊｡ꕤ˚₊⊹

Sunyul opened his eyes, feeling slightly suffocated. And he was shocked to the point of fainting.

Muyoung was lying in front of him, eyes closed.

“G-Guild Leader?”

“You’re awake.”

Muyoung opened his eyes as if he hadn’t been sleeping at all. And unlike Sunyul, who was frozen in surprise, he calmly sat up.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“……Yes?”

“The pain.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You were in pain in the early morning.”

Sunyul blinked, his face blank with incomprehension. Muyoung frowned. He couldn’t lie, it all showed on his face… It seemed Sunyul didn’t remember anything from last night.

“I see you don’t remember.”

“Was I really in pain?”

“Quite a bit.”

“……I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“For making you worry.”

“Lim Sunyul.”

Muyoung called Sunyul in a deliberately stern voice. Sunyul flinched, unsure what he had done wrong.

“Yes?”

“I told you. Don’t apologize for things that aren’t your fault.”

“But… being sick is my fault.”

“Why is that your fault?”

“You didn’t like it. You were a little… annoyed.”

Muyoung’s fists clenched involuntarily. Sunyul was talking about what happened in the lab.

He had known since they tried to put him in the same training area as monsters and experiment on him, but… wasn’t it a bit much? Even if he was an unknown entity, he was clearly a being with emotions, yet they caused him pain and were annoyed by it.

He was angry, but Muyoung suppressed his emotions. He didn’t want to scare Sunyul unnecessarily.

“Being sick isn’t wrong. It’s not annoying. Especially not if someone made you sick. The bastards who made you sick are the assholes. Do you understand?”

“……Yes.”

Sunyul’s face brightened faintly. Muyoung raised his hand and ruffled Sunyul’s hair somewhat roughly before getting up.

“You probably don’t remember because the medicine was a bit strong, so don’t worry too much about it.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

Sunyul’s eyes sparkled as usual. Muyoung was satisfied with that.

“You sweated last night, so go wash up. There’s still a lot of time before work, so take your time.”

With that advice, Muyoung left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Sunyul sniffed himself to check if he smelled. He was worried that he might smell because Muyoung was holding him when he woke up.

‘If I smelled, he would have left already, right?’

Pushing away his anxiety, Sunyul squeezed out more body wash than usual and washed himself thoroughly. He wanted to show only his best side to Muyoung.
