When an A-rank gate appears in the ruins of Sanghyeon-dong, a place devastated by a gate outbreak long ago, one of South Korea’s few S-rank espers, Cha Yoo-heon, steps in to handle the situation. However, this triggers the worst possible outcome.... more>>

Cha Yoo-heon is notorious for being immune to guiding, and no guide exists who can calm him.

As Yoo-heon begins to spiral out of control, Yoon Hae-jin, the leader of a combat guide team who happens to be on vacation nearby, is called to the scene.

“Esper Cha Yoo-heon, I’m here to guide you. Are you going to refuse?”

“…I found you.”

“What? Wait a second.”

Despite his reputation for being ungovernable, Yoo-heon’s energy inexplicably drains Hae-jin’s guiding power, causing him to pass out.

“Sorry, but are you interested in me?”

From that day on, Yoo-heon follows Hae-jin around like a kitten who’s chosen its owner, and their compatibility rate is a staggering 92%.

“Guide only me. If you do it for anyone else, I’ll kill them.”

Yoo-heon clings to Hae-jin with unwavering obsession, begging to become his official pair. But Hae-jin, who has only ever lost the things he cherished, wants to avoid getting close to anyone again.

The young esper, Cha Yoo-heon, who can’t take his eyes off Hae-jin with a devotion bordering on blindness, bears an uncanny resemblance to the cat who was once his only family and the reason for his existence.

“You don’t remember me.”

“You don’t… remember me.”

“He bore an uncanny resemblance to the cat that was once his only family and the reason for his existence.”

Top: Cha Yoo-heon – A person with clear boundaries between himself and others, generally indifferent to those around him. His personality is unpredictable, much like a cat. When it comes to Yoon Hae-jin, he’s obsessively devoted, to the point of believing he’d rather die than not be loved by him. Raised as an esper from a young age, he endured near-abusive training to hone his abilities but doesn’t see it as wrong. He’s an S-rank esper with the ability to transform into a cat and wield deadly shadow venom.

Bottom: Yoon Hae-jin – Highly sociable and quick to pick up on others’ affection toward him. He appears kind but is actually averse to bothersome things and has a subtly indifferent personality. Responsible and genuinely affectionate toward children and animals. His current dream is to step down from his position as guide team leader and live a leisurely life in the countryside. However, Cha Yoo-heon, who calls him “Dad,” keeps tugging at his heartstrings. <<less

I found myself inside a simulation game set in a ‘Guideverse’ world. I'm supposed to be a Guide, but I'm an extra who can hide her abilities!... more>>

Since it's come to this, should I try living a sweet life with an attractive and talented Esper who suits my taste?

Just as I was about to go all-in, I discovered a super handsome guy on the brink of a rampage and guided him passionately with a kiss.

Now, all that's left is our hundred-year journey together as he falls for my amazing guiding, right?

...Or so I thought.

As it turns out, I made a mistake and guided the Esper who was none other than the world's most powerful villainous mastermind, the black-hearted master of this universe?

"Rose Valentine."

"..."

"I’ve always been certain that I’ll find my Guide."

"..."

"Since you've been hiding so well until now, you deserve some punishment."

"..."

"First, I'll do XX to XX, and then I'll XX you."

"...."

"And after that, I'll XX and XX with you—"

Rose Valentine's relentless struggle to avoid the obsession of the world's most powerful villain was a battle she never expected to face! <<less

Due to trauma, the esper Ji Seo-joon refused to have a dedicated guide. He had been receiving low-quality guidings for years due to his aversion to contact with guides and repeatedly low matching rates.... more>>

In front of Seo-joon, who was on the verge of exploding from accumulated fatigue, a guide with a miraculous matching rate appeared.

【98.8%】

The protagonist with an unprecedented figure, Cha Yeon-woo, was still a high school student who hadn't even graduated yet. He was thrown into the field without undergoing training, as if they didn't care if he died.

"Uh, I'm not a kid. I took a year off, so I'm twenty years old... I hope you don't say I'm too young, even if you don't know the other reasons."

Seo-joon couldn't help but feel itchy in his chest at the innocent and dedicated appearance of the rookie guide... <<less

The only one who ever reached out to him had died—... more>>

Even though Jiho had used up all his guiding energy for him.

‘If I’d stayed by his side from the start, maybe things would’ve turned out differently…’

Drowning in regret and self-loathing, Jiho collapsed.

When he finally came to, he found himself standing in the middle of the hallway of the illegal guiding facility where he had been confined until three years ago.

“Wh-what’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

And at the end of the hallway—he was there.

Baek Dojin, wearing the same tight-fitting combat uniform as he had that day three years ago.

‘Baek Dojin died. I must be dreaming.’

Maybe this was the last time he would ever see Baek Dojin in a dream.

So Jiho clung to him desperately.

The warmth of the hand patting his shoulder was so comforting that Jiho wished he’d never wake up from the dream.

“Mm… huh…?”

But something felt off.

“I won’t do anything you don’t like. So don’t be afraid.”

Why… why wasn’t he waking up from the dream? <<less

Iberis, an S-class esper diagnosed with a terminal illness.... more>>

Having lost all his family, colleagues, and loved ones,

He had no attachment left to life.

If he had a wish, it was only to die with a little less pain.

Lucas, a guide who abruptly entered his life,

Began to shake up Iberis's world at some point.

"I'm sorry, but I can't bear to see you die, Major."

"...Why?"

"Because I want you to live. So... open your mouth, quickly."

Iberis, who has no will to live,

And Lucas, who struggles desperately to save him.

Walking a tightrope between life and death,

What kind of ending will these two face? <<less

Top (Gong):... more>>

Seo Won (33)

A cold-type S-Class Esper who uses ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception), veiled in ominous black energy. His mastery over ice is so advanced he can even create autonomous duplicates of himself.

CEO of Prism BioBattery and the last remaining mixed-blood heir of the Kangsan Group.

He was once doomed to die young due to his genetics, but survived after receiving a heart transplant from a perfectly matched S-Class Esper.

However, that heart already bore someone else's Imprint.

To survive, he must track down the Guide who etched that Imprint—bind them to his side, no matter what it takes.

***

Bottom (Soo):

Cha Han-gyeom (28)

A rare Guide who uses GP (Guiding Perception) to stabilize the ESP channels of others. His abilities are so atypical that he’s unclassifiable by standard grading systems.

An unregistered Guide working off the grid, making a living by selling his guidance through underground brokers.

He lost his beloved Imprinter five years ago, and now lives as a hollow shell, waiting quietly for death.

Then, one day, a man with piercing blue eyes appears before him.

But why does that man’s heart carry the Imprint he engraved long ago?

***

At an unofficial research facility created by the Association, Cha Han-gyeom was horrifically exploited. Five years ago, he escaped that place the moment he lost his Imprinter.

One day, while scraping by at the very bottom of the pit—selling his guiding ability just to survive—someone appeared before him.

Seo Won, whose entire body was veined with black streaks, on the verge of completely losing control. A man with cold blue eyes—and a heart burning like fire.

“Cha Han-gyeom.”

He spoke Han-gyeom’s name, which he hadn't even been told, as if tasting it on his tongue. With both hands planted on the desk Han-gyeom was leaning against, he leaned in close.

As the overhead light cast his shadow long and deep, it fell across Han-gyeom’s face like a dark veil.

“Don’t forget what I said earlier.”

Suddenly trapped in the man’s arms, Han-gyeom turned his head away, pretending to be unfazed, and exhaled a plume of cigarette smoke.

“What are you talking about?”

The man abruptly grabbed the hand holding the cigarette. Han-gyeom’s hand fit perfectly in that firm, commanding grip.

“I said if you want… I can do even more than that.” <<less

65 years ago, the Gate Era began.... more>>

With the emergence of Espers and Guides, individuals with extraordinary abilities, society rapidly transformed.

Amidst this chaotic shift, Siho, who lost his family and developed a severe hatred towards Espers, lives a difficult and broken life, both physically and mentally.

Then, one fateful day, Siho finds himself trapped inside a Gate at the crossroads of a choice.

His destiny takes an inevitable turn when he encounters Kang Jae-yoon, who entered the Gate seeking death.

“The true precursor to rampage is when the eyes turn red.”

“Like your eyes right now?”

At the moment of death, Siho, who awakens as a Guide, is violently assaulted by Jae-yoon, who has gone rampage.

In exchange for enduring this merciless beating, he is granted a new life.

Due to the law, Siho is forcibly bound as Jae-yoon’s Pair Guide, and soon, three of this other Espers approach him.

In a tangled web of relationships formed by choice or fate, the emotions of these five individuals become increasingly intertwined.

And as their fragile everyday lives begin to unravel, a new threat to humanity emerges– the Black Gate.

Jeong Yeo-won wakes up from a frozen state.... more>>

When I opened my eyes, I found myself woke up 500 years later in a world that had already been destroyed.

A monster suddenly appears from the gate.

'Esper', a godlike creature who has awakened his powers follow its lead.

And the world is completely different from the past. Humans are no longer the masters of the Earth.

The Espers, who are supposed to hunt monsters and protect the city, are actually leading the world to further destruction due to their rampage. The 'Guides' that could calm the Espers have already disappeared.

But then.

"I'm a guide?"

The only guide who miraculously woke up in a discarded hibernation capsule.

Yeo-won creates a guiding drug that slows down the rampage and distributes it around the world.

Thus, the world is one step away from destruction,

but now she must protect herself from the espers who seek to find and possess the guide.

A drop of water that falls on dry land,

Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz.

What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him?

[Preview]
For some unknown reason, Delroz firmly believed that the guide who saved him was a woman. His conviction was so strong that he didn’t doubt it even with the person in question right in front of him.

Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party.

“I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.”

“Hmm…”

At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again.

“I heard it’s a woman with long hair.”

“That’s right.”

A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked.

“I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?”

“She was beautiful.”

“What?”

Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears.

“She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.” <<less

I've been transmigrated into an R-rated, tragic guide-verse BL novel.... more>>

And into a world where an obsessive madman destroys the empire.

ab*sed by a guide in his childhood, he turns dark and grows up to be a mad duke.

What would happen if I provided proper guidance to this obsessive man?

Of course, I should do it as an S-class guide, but...

"If you want to live, try to pique my interest."

He inhaled deeply at the nape of my neck, as if trying to imprint my scent.

"I might help you if I see you struggling, hmm?"

Why is this obsessive man, who should be fixated on the bottom character,

showing obsession toward me, a mere extra!

I only dreamed of a safe future,

but now my life is being threatened. <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.... more>>

But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial princess, Caesar.

My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar’s rampage and raise him to the throne.

“I have to find Your Highness’s guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide… only to discover that I was the one and only guide?

Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”

“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Huhh?”

“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?

And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

***

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”

“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.

His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

‘Jeong Hae-il’ possessed the only character who could guide dragons, ‘Hae-il’.... more>>

It was a secret that did not appear in the novel, and I could understand that up to this point.

However, this character is the son of ‘Ga-il Trecliff Dean’, who had killed eight dragons.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

For the dragon, I have to kill my father, and for my father, I have to kill the dragon.

What am I supposed to do about this?

* * *

‘I miss my mother.’

When I saw the dragon that appeared before my eyes, I instantly thought, ‘I’m dead now.’

[It feels similar to the World Tree.]

This guy started talking about how I felt similar to the World Tree.

Wait, so does that mean I can guide this dragon with this body?

* * *

“It replaces the liquid flowing under the bark.”

“…….”

“So if we were to substitute it, it would be with blood, saliva, or tears.”

Calthus whispered softly.

“When you’re mentally ready, then we’ll try it.”

Uh… So.

Let me summarize what he just said…

‘Forcing a kiss with someone you don’t even love is cruel, so you’re saying you won’t force it?’

What kind of nonsense is that.

Do you think I’m someone who would weigh ‘the purity of your snout’ and ‘your life’?

“Open your mouth.”

If you think kissing will make you better, then just kiss me.

Why are you talking so much? <<less

This time, you will be the ones who will be horribly destroyed.... more>>

There were various modifiers for the villainess Odette Lina von Albrecht, who appeared in the 19+ corrupted reverse harem game.

A deceiver who deceived the Empire by pretending to be a purifier when she was not. A witch who committed evil deeds that were too evil to even speak of and toyed with the four male protagonists who were transcendent.

However, there was something that the players who played the game and the male protagonists who hated and pursued Odette didn't know.

"You are nothing more than a toy in our house. Since your master has decided to abandon you, you should die happily."

All of Odette's terrible evil deeds were not based on her will. However, that fact was never revealed. Because Odette, who was falsely accused, eventually met her death at the hands of the male protagonists.

It was definitely going to end like that.

"...Could it be that you have come back?"

She returned to the past. And at the moment of her death, she realized that she had been reincarnated as Oddette.

***

A second life was given, a future where she knew exactly what would happen. I was going to show the family who betrayed me a real hell and use the male protagonists who hated me as a means of revenge. But,

"Damn it. I don't know why you care."

"I want to offer you my knightly oath."

The male protagonist who hated me changed. In the meantime, I suddenly awakened as a real purifier.

'When I wanted it so badly, I wasn't given anything. Why now that I've given up on everything?'

All that matters to me is revenge. I don't like anything. Really, not anything. <<less

“Kissing someone without knowing the colour of their eyes, really?”... more>>

Hexion sneered as he looked at the restrained man. Even a disaster grade esper didn’t seem like much.

“Ugh…”

A dry and rough kiss, under the guise of guiding, continued. Eventually, light purple irises were revealed beneath the forcibly removed blindfold. The esper, Zero Nine, muttered unconsciously. “I feel… surprisingly good.”

“A kiss has awakened you.”

Of course it would feel good. Despite the slight sarcasm, Zero Nine asked with a somewhat dazed look. “…Did we kiss?”

“Yes, we did. On someone’s orders.”

Bloody, torn lips, gaunt cheeks, pale skin, and flushed ears.

“Then, would you kiss me just once more?”

The man, who had been on the verge of rampaging just moments ago, said. Hexion lowered his head and commanded,

“Open your mouth.”

An A-class Esper, Renault had been living a quiet life, avoiding unnecessary attention—until the arrival of Raven, an S-class Guide. Raven, who had never recorded a matching rate above 10% with any Esper, astonishingly demonstrated a 98.7% match with Renault, becoming his dedicated Guide.... more>>

Though Renault found Raven difficult to deal with, he set out on a routine B-class monster subjugation mission, only to face an unforeseen crisis that left him gravely injured. As Renault was on verge of going berserk, Raven whispered something strange. It was then that Renault finally realized—the boy he had once saved in the past was none other than Raven, and he was far from ordinary.

***

"You really don’t remember a thing, do you?"

Raven murmured, his voice laced with curiosity. For a brief moment, Renault’s pale face went utterly blank.

"...What do you mean?"

His voice trembled slightly as he asked. It felt as if Raven had seen right through the unshakable sense of déjà vu, the creeping unease Renault himself couldn’t quite place. As if he had just heard something he wasn’t supposed to.

"See? I remember everything about you—every last detail—but you? You forgot it all. Ah, how unfair."

"What are you talking about…? Forgot?"

"I'm starting to feel a little hurt, you know? What should I do about that?"

The way he grinned while claiming to be upset made it impossible to understand him.

He forgot about this brat? That’s impossible. There was no way he wouldn’t remember someone with such a striking appearance, those jewel-like eyes impossible to forget.

So why was this brat acting so sure? And why did Renault feel this inexplicable sense of discomfort?

"Oh well. Guess I have no choice but to remind you—piece by piece, until you remember everything."

Jungon, amidst a heated argument with his cheating spouse, suddenly experiences waves of memories from the “future.”... more>>

A year later, due to a conspiracy by his spouse Jeha and Jeha’s guide lover Sagyeom, Jungon suffers a tragic accident leading to paralysis. Abandoned afterward, he spends five years trapped within his own body before finally meeting his end at the hands of a monster near his home.

Recalling these memories, Jungon, deeply disappointed, demands a divorce from Jeha. Determined to verify if the future he’s seen is true, he seeks out his dedicated caretaker and savior, Kwon Shinhyun (top).

Meanwhile, Shinhyun, who has lived twenty years as an Esper without meeting a compatible guide with a matching rate above 50%, is on the brink of physical collapse from the continuous pain his abilities cause.

Miraculously, he meets Jungon.

Now driven to discard his self-centered nature, Shinhyun finds himself desperately wanting to hold onto his guide—even if it means feigning kindness.

* * *

‘Kindness.’

Just yesterday, the person who called him “nice” now called him “kind.”

Yet again, it was a foreign concept to him. Hearing words he’d never thought would apply to him from someone he’d just recently met was unsettling.

At that moment, a lightning-like realization struck him.

He finally solved the puzzle named Yoo Jungon.

Yoo Jungon was entirely fooled by Shinhyun’s flawless acting.

Completely oblivious to Shinhyun’s darker intentions to monitor and cling onto the first compatible guide he’d found in twenty years. <<less

Espers are guaranteed sufficient guiding in exchange for serving the state.... more>>

Except for runaway espers.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

Shin Joo-hyun, who went on a rampage immediately upon manifestation and spent 11 years being used by the Association like a dog, lived a life far removed from guiding despite being an esper.

In front of him appears Cha In-ho, a famous actor who manifested late at the age of 26 as a guide.

And he has come to be matched with a runaway esper.

“From now on, I will be your matching guide, Joo-hyun. Please take care of me.”

But this guide, for some reason, keeps acting like he knows Joo-hyun…

“I am the only person who knows Joo-hyun.

And you are the only one who knows me.”

Will Shin Joo-hyun be able to uncover Cha In-ho’s true identity?

In a world where sudden gates appeared, Espers became a national asset. Among them was Cha Jaewoo, an S-Rank Esper known as the pride of South Korea. However, there was a problem—after his awakening, he couldn't find a guide with a high matching rate. As a result, a nationwide mandatory guide test was introduced.... more>>

"Could it be... it wouldn't come to that, right...?"

"Ha... "

"Cha Jaewoo?"

Haeyul, who thought it was something that needed to be done anyway, reluctantly took the guide test and recorded an incredible match rate of 97.8% with Cha Jaewoo!

"So, what should I do? I'm just a D-Rank...!"

His partner was an S-Rank Esper who had never received proper guidance and was on the brink of going berserk. Guiding him was like going after a boss monster right after creating a character!

Haeyul considered declining, fearing that his energy would be drained, possibly leading to his death. However...

"If a guide doesn't appear for Esper Cha Jaewoo, he will eventually be executed."

"...Am I... Am I going crazy?"

He wondered who he was worrying about in such a precarious situation. But faced with the possibility that Cha Jaewoo might die without his guidance, Haeyul signed the contract with tears in his eyes.

"That... I think I did something like this this morning..."

"Just that?"

"That's my maximum..."

Afterward, Haeyul, with only a hint of mana, started living under the same roof as Cha Jaewoo and guided him once a day! <<less

An S-Class Esper Ryu Hoyeon. No matter what anyone says, he was (probably) the strongest and (definitely) the most special Esper in the world. Though he was born with Esper abilities, it was somewhat unfortunate that he hadn't found a compatible Guide with matching compatibility and rank even after turning twenty. At this rate, he might die soon.... more>>

When he was half ready to give up, a Guide five years younger than him suddenly appears before him. As a media addict who had been confined to the Center all his life, reading nothing but dramas and novels, he had a tingling sensation.

"I look forward to working with you. No, let me speak informally since I'm older."

"Yes, I look forward to working with you too..."

The type who lived freely outside the Center until adulthood thinking they were ordinary people, only to end up becoming dedicated Guides to S-rank Espers who were struggling without compatible Guides. No need for further explanation. It's 100 percent certain.

Yuri Sobolev, having defeated his lifelong nemesis, Rosenhaur.

Chris weakened Yuri. He made him dependent, then disappeared without a care. His absence taught the once-flawless man something he had never known before.

It was undoubtedly loneliness.

On the other hand, Yuri tamed Chris and brought him to his knees. The master whispered human emotions and life to the once untamed beast. A being that could have been a disaster became human, willing even to sacrifice himself.

This is surely a downfall.

"I won't take back what I said about listening carefully."

Yuri's lips moved.

"Engrave it firmly in that s*upid head of yours."

This will probably be the first plea he ever utters aloud.

"Never leave me alone again." <<less

To obtain the “Siren’s Tear,” an item that allows self-guiding and suppresses rampages, he must win over Kang Junwoo, the impenetrable ice prince of the first division, who accepts no Esper exclusively.

“I want to be your exclusive Esper. I said it from the start.”

“Esper Tae Ijae, do you perhaps like me?”

“Oh, do I have to like you for you to do it? Then sure, I like you.”

“Are you joking?”

“No. I’m annoyingly serious. So tell me, What do I need to do to become your exclusive Esper?”

Excerpt from the Book:

“…Um, by the way.”

“What?”

“Why do you keep speaking informally? I’m a year older than you, Esper Tae Ijae.”

“Yeah, I’m a year younger than you. Nice to meet you?”

“Pardon…?”

“I said nice to meet you. Weren’t we supposed to greet each other again?”

“No. I was asking why you’re speaking informally.”

“You do it too.”

“Pardon?”

“Do you usually not understand things when they’re said once? Are you the type to ask repeatedly? It annoys me to say the same thing twice.”

“More than I thought…”

Kang Junwoo sighed briefly and continued.

“You really have no manners.”

“More than you thought? When did you think about me? You should’ve told me earlier; our exclusive partnership might have been much easier.”

“Pardon? No, I just thought you were a bit annoying just now…”

“Oh, thank you. I like you too.”

Is this guy crazy?

Also, the background and settings in the work are all fictional, and we clarify that regions, people, organizations, and other company names have no relation to reality.

Lee Eunseok became an orphan after losing his family to the ‘Gate’ incident that occurred 20 years ago. Though he dreamed of awakening as an Esper to take revenge on the monsters, he reached adulthood without awakening. Among the limited choices given to orphans, he chose to join the military.

After working diligently in the field, he was considered a promising candidate for the next team leader position in the Intelligence Command. However, during a mandatory health examination, he is identified as an S-class Guide.

“Mr. Lee Eunseok, as you have awakened as a Guide during your health examination, you will be reassigned to the Bureau of Ability Management.”

“Who decided this?”

“We are not here to ask for permission, but to inform you.”

Moreover, under the Guide Protection Act, Guides are not allowed to enter Gates. While Eunseok, who had been a field special agent, contemplates his desire to enter Gates, Choi Hanseo, an S-class Esper and guild master of White Tiger, approaches him.

“Do you have the courage to enter Gates with me?”

Eunseok begins his life as a Guide after contracting with Choi Hanseo on the condition of participating in Gate raids. However, he finds himself increasingly bothered by S-class Hunter Choi Hanseo’s subtle yet obvious advances…

“We seem to need more efficient guiding. For instance…”

Choi Hanseo trails off, raising his free hand to meaningfully brush his thumb across Eunseok’s lower lip. <<less
