The Guide Is Fixing His Regrets

That’s a disaster.

Choi Si-Hyuk was also an S-class Esper.

So-Won’s face was filled with embarrassment.

Espers had better basic physical abilities than ordinary people, even if they were not physically reinforced like Tae-Woo.

The higher the rating, the more so, so it was almost impossible for So-Won to get his hand out of Si-Hyuk as a normal person unless he voluntarily gave up.

However, the eyes looking at So-Won, as if it were interesting, seemed to have no intention of letting go of him.

“This would be about 40 or 50 percent…. You said you’re a guide, right So-Won? Would you like to have a matching test?”

“Oh, no, I’ve already…”

The distance between Si-Hyuk and So-Won gradually narrowed.

So-Won closed his mouth as he saw Si-Hyuk getting closer little by little.

So-Won was scared by the eyes that felt creepy, so he tried to fight back, but he couldn’t move his hand because he couldn’t pull it at all.

Si-Hyuk moved his body to reach So-Won a little more.

Then, a large black figure intervened between them.

“Please, Let him go.”

So-Won’s eyes were blocked.

When So-Won looked up, Tae-Woo, who had a blunt expression as usual, caught his eyes.

“Ta.. Tae-Woo.”

As soon as So-Won checked Tae-Woo’s face, his anxious mind quickly calmed down.

It was fortunate that Tae-Woo was next to So-Won.

A relieved So-Won immediately checked the situation.

Tae-Woo held Si-Hyuk by his wrist, holding him back, and Si-Hyuk still held So-Won’s hand.

Unlike So-Won and Si-Hyuk’s white skin, Tae-Woo’s hands were black and veins were bulging out, making it very foreign.

“Ay, ay, ay” Si-Hyuk made a sound like he was exaggerating, but he didn’t look sick at all.

“It’s not like I’m too touchy, but you’re so mean.”

Si-Hyuk smiled slyly.

At the same time, Tae-Woo’s hand, which grabbed Si-Hyuk’s arm, became more powerful.

So-Won was under the illusion that he could hear the twisting of the flesh.

“Ugh, it’s going to break, it’s going to break.”

This time, Si-Hyuk must have been really in pain, so he made a face and let go of So-Won.

So-Won quickly brought his free hand and stepped back and hid behind Tae-Woo.

Si-Hyuk’s hand throbbed.

The marks left all over the hand were not likely to be erased easily.

Tae-Woo released Si-Hyuk only after he saw So-Won, who had stepped back. He rubbed his painful hand.

The large handprints on Si-Hyuk’s wrist were serious enough to make his skin look dead, but they quickly disappeared like a mirage.

However, Si-Hyuk frowned as if he did not like it, and shook off the place where Tae-Woo’s hand touched as if something dirty had been smeared.

What the action meant was so clear that So-Won put on a serious look for a moment.

“I guess you still don’t get guided properly, given that the veins are still there?”

So-Won lowered his eyes because he was surprised by the following words.

Si-Hyuk’s words hit the nail on the head.

So-Won was sorry for not being able to properly guide Tae-Woo until a while ago.

After undergoing an interim examination, So-Won found out that Tae-Woo lacked guidance, but So-Won never gave him proper guidance except holding hands.

The doctor in charge even handed over the pamphlet, but So-Won was turning a blind eye because he had no courage.

It wasn’t that So-Won didn’t know there was another way to guide.

So-Won was just irresponsibly delaying it because it was embarrassing to do it with the same sex.

“Your guide must be unhappy. Since he is a guide to such monster.”

Si-Hyuk sarcastically said.

Tae-Woo and Si-Hyuk’s eyes met.

Tae-Woo didn’t reply even though he sounded like he was picking a fight.

As Si-Hyuk said, Tae-Woo thought So-Won would be unhappy to be his guide.

So-Won had to live with Tae-Woo, who was like a monster, and guide him every day. So-Won couldn’t turn away from Tae-Woo because of his good heart.

Tae-Woo would have been much happier if So-Won had become someone else’s guide.

For example, Choi Si-Hyuk.

Si-Hyuk grinned as if he was satisfied after seeing the slight darkness on Tae-Woo’s face.

Si-Hyuk looked at Tae-Woo with a single smile, and checked the time calmly to see if the long silence was boring.

“Then I’ll go now, so go to the gate instead of me. Guide Lee So-Won, I’m serious about what I said earlier, so contact me here.”

So-Won, who was lowering his head, suddenly took a business card that flew to him and raised his face.

Si-Hyuk looked at So-Won with a smile that had been drawn in his face, and moved while pulling a wheelchair.

When her eyes met with So-Won, she bowed her head slightly and greeted him.

Before So-Won could react, her wheelchair passed by So-Won.

So-Won couldn’t say anything when he saw Si-Hyuk disappearing far away.

The same was true of Tae-Woo.

They stood still for a while without opening their mouths.

It was Tae-Woo who came to his senses first.

Tae-Woo heard people approaching from afar and thought he should leave.

It was clear that if he didn’t leave before they ran into people, it would become a commotion in an instant.

That would have harmed So-Won and those who would have been treated or resting at the center.

So-Won was still staring blankly at the place where Si-Hyuk disappeared.

Tae-Woo’s eyes turned to So-Won’s hand.

When Tae-Woo looked at the hand with red marks, he remembered rubbing it as if it was painful.

Tae-Woo was worried that So-Won’s small and fragile hand might have been injured, so he couldn’t easily look away.

Tae-Woo wanted to ask So-Won about his condition, but he noticed Si-Hyuk’s name on the business card that the hand held tightly.

‘An unhappy guide’ What Si-Hyuk said came to Tae-Woo’s mind again.

Tae-Woo closed his mouth looking at So-Won’s red hands.

It was all his fault for failing to stop Si-Hyuk.

‘Does an Esper, who can’t even keep his only guide safe, deserve a guide?’ Tae-Woo thought.

Tae-Woo turned his head because he felt guilty while looking at So-Won.

“I’ll be on my way.”

“Yes…”

The long voice of So-Won became thinner and thinner.

Tae-Woo bowed his head toward So-Won and left.

Tae-Woo felt a long line of sight catching up behind his back, but Tae-Woo couldn’t look back.

Leaving behind the center where So-Won was, Tae-Woo headed to the gate.

Usually, Tae-Woo arrived early and waited, but today he ran out of time because he encountered Si-Hyuk in front of the center.

Tae-Woo, who arrived at the gate, was not even given a break.

As soon as Tae-Woo got out of the car, he announced his arrival through an association employee waiting in a temporary tent and received a simple checkup.

After that, even before changing into combat clothes, a gathering signal rang and there was no time to breathe.

As he approached the people gathered near the gate, an Esper who found Tae-Woo from afar narrowed his eyes.

Tae-Woo, who received a gaze that was not mixed with fear but contained deep hatred as if he was used to it, stood next to them with a calm expression.

The response of the general public and Espers to Tae-Woo was slightly different.

Anyone was surprised when they made eye contact with Tae-Woo for the first time, but if ordinary people avoid their seats in fear of Tae-Woo, Espers expressed disgust on the contrary.

Some Esper quickly frowned and spat at Tae-Woo as he passed by.

Even if the Espers don’t fight openly, they often say swear words in front of Tae-Woo’s face, so Tae-Woo is used to it now.

The dispatched management team staff, who confirmed that all Esper had gathered at the end of Tae-Woo. He opened his mouth, trying not to look at Tae-Woo.

“Everyone, since we’re all here, I’ll tell you a simple gate explanation and safety rules again before you go out.”

The Association Employee’s voice was a little shaky, but he was able to continue the explanation somehow.

It’s not his first time seeing Kang Tae-Woo’s face, but he couldn’t get used to it. He volunteered for Choi Si-Hyuk because he said he would come, but they suddenly changed to Kang Tae-Woo the day before.

He have a bad luck. He was about to start explaining, lamenting inside.

“Where’s Choi Sihyuk? Why is the monster here?”

The Esper who saw Tae-Woo, said in a dissatisfied voice and frowned as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.

The atmosphere became chaotic at the beginning of the remark.

“Esper Kang Tae-Woo?”

“What, the monster is here?”

“What happened to Esper Choi Si-Hyuk?”

When the surroundings became noisy, it was not Tae-Woo, the person they were talking about, but an association employee who was embarrassed.

The Association Employee felt sorry for Tae-Woo as he was restless due to the growing buzz, but the disturbance did not subside.

“Because of Choi Si-Hyuk’s unavoidable circumstances… Esper Kang Tae-Woo has been dispatched instead. I’m sorry I didn’t notify you in advance”

Fearing that they might provoke Kang Tae-Woo for no reason, the employee hurriedly tried to calm them down, but more complaints erupted.
