“Don’t tell the Center that you’ve stopped taking the medicine.”

“I have to write a report, so what about that?”

“Fake it. What do they know? Just say you took it like usual. Write everything else truthfully, but just lie about taking the pills. For the ones they give you from now on, just take them for show.”

Jaechan answered with a “Yes” and laughed.

Right, now that things had turned out this way, he thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to truly prove himself as a properly manifested Guide. If manifesting via medicine was the end of it, wouldn’t it be fine to change the attitude of those who kept trying to control him?

More than anything, the fact that Han Kang was on his side couldn’t be more reassuring. He wanted to listen to his words more than the researchers’.

Jaechan’s eyes burned with the thought of properly proving the value of his existence. Whatever, let’s just do it. When he quirked his lips mischievously, Han Kang gave a wide grin in return.

Today felt particularly long. Since morning, they had moved dorms, done guiding, had blood drawn, and slept, but the day still hadn’t ended. Jaechan felt his body’s exhaustion and rolled his neck in a circle.

“The medicine… Kim Daeyoung came by when you manifested and said it would be good to take it.”

As he quietly recited how he came to take the medicine, Han Kang stared at him intently. Sitting loosely on the edge of the bed, he toyed with his fingers and said, “I see.”

Does he not want to hear it?

Thinking that might be the case, Jaechan shut his mouth again. Indeed, it wasn’t like he was trying to provoke anger, and what was the point of reciting the day the lies began? Just as he shrugged his shoulders, saying “Forget it,” Han Kang gently wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed Jaechan’s cheek.

“Keep telling me, honey.”

Seeing him acting coquettish again, relief washed over Jaechan. He gave a soft “Mm-hmm” and slowly started speaking again.

“I was so bored because you were the only one at the Center. They said I could hurt civilians and that I had to become a Guide to be with an Esper, and that it was a drug that helped with that, so I took it. But I was so damn pissed because it didn’t manifest even though I took it for a really long time.”

“No wonder, you were always making a fuss about why you weren’t becoming a Guide.”

“Ah, I did.”

“Yeah. Even though I told you not to, you said you wanted to do it, so I wondered why you were acting like that.”

“I’m really sorry once again for not telling you in advance. I couldn’t say anything because you hate Guides so much.”

“I understand.”

Han Kang, who had been listening to the story with his head bowed, looked up at him. With a faint smile, his eyes showed that he really didn’t care, so Jaechan shouldn’t worry.

Han Kang smiled softly and cupped Jaechan’s cheek. After pressing a soft kiss to his lips to share his warmth, he nodded several times, saying it was okay.

“Don’t walk on eggshells, it’s not your fault.”

After speaking in a low voice, Han Kang spoke of the future for a long time afterward.

He tried his best to forget the contempt for himself for creating a gap despite priding himself on giving Jaechan all his attention, and the shock that Jeon Jaechan had kept a secret. He decided to think only about how to break through this grim situation and protect Jaechan.

Lying on the bed and staring blankly at the ceiling, Jaechan saw Han Kang coming out after just washing up. He had said they were going to conduct full-scale training, and although only exactly one day had passed, his body was exhausted, making it hard to lift a single finger.

After forcing his body—which didn’t even have the energy to wash—to finish a shower, he lay still on the bed, and Han Kang immediately frowned. He recalled Han Kang’s voice from sometime ago telling him to dry his hair completely before lying on the bed.

He’s so meticulous…

Jaechan slithered like a snake and slid off the bed. Leaning the back of his head against the mattress, he looked up at Han Kang again. Because Han Kang was barely wearing underwear and he was looking straight up from below, his thighs, which were particularly voluminous, caught his eye at a glance.

Ahem. Rolling his eyes was only for a moment. Han Kang grinned and thrust his face close.

“Honey, you saw my cock, didn’t you.”

“…I didn’t ‘see’ it, it was just ‘visible’.”

Jaechan said, turning his head completely the other way. For some reason, it felt like Han Kang’s breath was right there, making his body feel restless. Just as Jaechan consciously kept his gaze in another direction, Han Kang sat down heavily right next to him.

“I couldn’t get any guiding today. Look at this.”

Han Kang thrust his hand in front of his eyes. The Esper’s body, craving guiding, was undergoing slight tremors. Jaechan reflexively bit his lower lip hard.

Normally, he would have done guiding during the breaks in training, but he couldn’t today. Han Kang had reached out his hand, saying it was okay and to try guiding. Saying it was fine even if they didn’t go as far as insertion guiding, so just please try a little contact.

He knew it was his job to take that hand without shaking it off, but he was afraid to take it. It was because the fact that he hadn’t taken the medicine since last night had been weighing on his mind the whole time.

So as he just stared at the trembling hand, Han Kang urged Jaechan with a difficult smile.

“Give me some guiding.”

“Yes, I have to, but…”

“Try it, trust me. If it doesn’t work, let’s take the medicine right away. The medicine is over there.”

Han Kang pointed to the white medicine bottle he had placed out for him to see. After discovering the medicine, Han Kang, who had told him to give him all the medicine he had, had lined up all the received pills neatly on the desk.

His saliva tasted bitter. Just as Jaechan, who licked his dry lips and moved his Adam’s apple, was unable to move his body readily.

Inhale…

Han Kang pressed their lips together first.

A wet noise leaked between the softly engaged lips. The slowly moving tongues were beyond cautious. Even so, whether he was feeling the wavelength or what, Han Kang began to press their bodies together more actively.

Thud. His body fell backward. Leaving the perfectly good bed, Jaechan, who had collapsed on the floor, naturally stroked the back of Han Kang as he climbed on top of him. He caressed his chest, massaged his face, and then firmly held the hands that had been trembling.

A moan that sounded like a groan flowed between the lips of the two who were completely pressed together. The moan that made the vocal cords vibrate heavily was deep and hot.

Jaechan opened his eyes with difficulty, reacting sensitively to the sensation enveloping his entire body. The first thing he saw was Han Kang’s black eyes looking down at him intently. His eyes, surrounded by a vivid aura, were very sharp as if he had no intention of avoiding his gaze or closing them in the first place.

Han Kang pressed his waist down firmly, bringing their genitals together. Since both were only wearing underwear, the hot temperature of the firmly risen cock touched him vividly. Jaechan let out a “Nnng” from his vocal cords and pulled his lips away. Han Kang’s hand, which had been shivering, also regained stability as if the guiding was entering properly.

Han Kang exhaled a large breath without a word and pushed his waist up. Tears welled up at the thrill of the soft fabric being pressed and rubbed.

“Haa, ah…”

“I want, to put it in.”

The words, accompanied by a heavy sigh, echoed in his ear. Han Kang, who relaxed the arms that had been supporting his body until now, collapsed and completely crushed Jaechan. Their touching chests thundered with a wild beat.

For some reason, Han Kang’s gaze, which was staring precisely at him, was somewhat dazed. To the point that he looked like a person high on drugs as seen in dramas; his pupils were blurred as if he were truly and deeply possessed by something.

At that, Jaechan grabbed both of his cheeks with both hands.

“Han Kang.”

He called out softly, but there was no answer.

Han Kang frowned deeply and put strength into his rubbing waist. He looked as if he had lost his reason and was being consumed by sexual desire. Seeing the eyes where desire lurked for the first time in a long while, Jaechan swallowed hard.

“Kang, Han Kang.”

He called his name again and tapped his cheek. He caressed the bulging masseter muscle and stroked his lower back. Then, the black eyes that had been wandering in the air dropped and stared at him.

The eyes, black enough to be cold, burned just as hotly. His appearance, looking delirious, was unfamiliar.

“Are you okay? Your condition is strange.”

It wasn’t the first time they were guiding, but he couldn’t help being sensitive to such a vivid reaction. Since the conditions had changed now, every single part of his condition was a concern.

But separate from that, his body faithfully melted in. The wavelength drained away from everywhere in his body that held hot heat. Whenever Han Kang’s hands, as large as pot lids, caressed his flat stomach, stroked his chest, and twisted his nipples, moans erupted helplessly and his waist bounced.

At the same time, heat gathered in his lower abdomen. The bubbling lust was clamoring as if it would burst out at any moment.

“Honey, Jaechan…”

He almost didn’t recognize the slowly spreading voice. Han Kang, whose voice was beyond heavily suppressed and sounded cracked, mumbled with his lips buried in the nape of his neck.

“Fuck, ah…”

Swearing under his breath, he finally gritted his teeth. Hearing that vivid sound in his ear, Jaechan looked at him. He wondered if something was wrong.

Han Kang, who sat up again, pressed firmly on Jaechan’s chest with trembling hands. As he moved his hands along the curves of the muscles, he flicked the firmly erect nipple. It was then.

“Hey, hey!”

Jaechan jumped up in surprise. Suddenly, wasn’t red blood dripping onto his chest? A startled Jaechan hurriedly grabbed Han Kang’s face. Nosebleed was dripping from his nose.

“If you’re not feeling well, you should say so…!”

It seemed the guiding wavelength wasn’t going in properly. Han Kang, who started to tremble even more violently than before, was making unusual groans like grrk, kkh.

Jaechan first pulled his body away. Separate from feeling upset, his thought was that he had to stop the wavelength from going in for now.

“Honey, fuck, it feels so damn good.”

Jaechan, who had been hurriedly pulling out tissues and clumsily blocking his nose, quirked an eyebrow. “What?”

A hot and soft tongue licked up his chest. He didn’t know how eerie the sensation of being licked all the way up was.

“Haa…!”

Jaechan, who let out a moan in spite of himself, snapped his head back. His body tingled. His startled heart disappeared once again without a trace, and a new pleasure filled the gap bit by bit.

Jaechan looked down with a hotly wavering gaze at Han Kang, who was continuously sucking on his chest. Whether he had licked the nosebleed he spilled himself, the red blood was smeared long.

“Are, you… okay, ah…”

Jaechan asked as he ran his fingers through Han Kang’s hair.

He had intended to pull him away immediately if he looked even a little unwell.

“Out of all the guiding… I’ve done so far… this is the best. Look at the nosebleed. Honey, it feels like your husband’s dick is going to explode too.”

Han Kang pulled Jaechan’s hand, which was holding the tissue, and placed it directly on his cock. It throbbed as if a heart were beating on top of the hard dick.
