Guide Me If You Dare
Chapter 42: SNOWBALLING

Chapter 42: SNOWBALLING

"ARE YOU happy now?"

Yuno was just getting a canned coffee from the vending machine— there was one on every floor— when Bambi approached him.

With hostility, of course.

Had I known I would be attacked again, I should have just waited outside the Guide Chief’s office.

Ki Gayoon was still at Chief Kim Munhee’s office.

Ahjuhyung needs to send the official request form to duel with Esper Yang Youngjae for 5th place among the Top 5.

"Congratulations on ruining the team’s atmosphere on your first day of work, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

"Thank you, Team Leader."

"I’m being sarcastic."

"Ah, is that so?" Yuno asked, uninterested. It wasn’t like Bambi was the first person to be hostile to him. "Team Leader, I’m aware that 90% of the time, people dislike me either because of my sharp tongue or my horrible personality. But, this time, I’m pretty sure that I didn’t ruin anything. How can I ruin something that is already ruined from the start?"

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Team Leader has no intention to treat me as a part of the team," Yuno said bluntly. "I don’t need to be sensitive or quick-witted to know what the basic workstation you prepared for me meant. I heard your message loud and clear. My Esper did, too."

Bambi frowned. "You sure like flaunting that Gayoon Hyung is your Esper, don’t you? Can’t you do anything on your own?"

"Team Leader, I don’t have pride. Even if I’m a grown man, I’ll use Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi to solve my problems if it will make my life easier."

"You—"

"And I hope you stop picking on me while I’m cooperating with the government, Team Leader," Yuno said bluntly, cutting Bambi off accidentally. Oh, well. He continued anyway. "Even if I die or disappear, it won’t make Esper Ki Gayoon like you magically. You’re wasting your time hating on me when you should be begging Esper Ki Gayoon for his forgiveness."

Bambi’s face turned red— Yuno wasn’t just sure if it was still from anger or embarrassment this time.

If it’s just a verbal fight, then I’d win.

Probably.

"LET’S GO, little rusty shi— Noh Yuno."

Oh.

Ahjuhyung stopped himself from calling me ’little rusty shit.’

"Can I go home now even when if it’s still my working hours?" Yuno asked. He waited for Ki Gayoon at the entrance of the building to send him off. But he didn’t expect the grumpy old man to tell him to go home with him. "Don’t I need to apologize to Choi Kangmin first?"

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Why would you apologize to the bastard who punched you?"

"He punched me, but you almost killed him, Ahjuhyung."

"That bastard should know better than laying a hand on another Esper’s Guide."

Right.

To be honest, that was stupid of Choi Kangmin.

Other Espers would react the same way Ki Gayoon did.

After all, Espers think of their Guides as their possession.

It was a toxic mindset, yes.

But Espers lose their senses and they turn into beasts worse than dungeon monsters when they’re on a Rampage, so how they see their Guides is the least of our concern.

"Ahjuhyung, you almost killed Choi Kangmin. That’s too much of a punishment for the punch I got."

"So what? He deserves it. You’re dead if you apologize to that bastard, Noh Yuno."

Aigoo.

This ahjussi gets mad when I joke about my death, but he doesn’t bat an eye when he threatens my life.

"Let’s go before I destroy this building."

"Yes, sir."

Yuno followed Ki Gayoon to the car.

Oh.

Ki Gayoon brought a supercar today.

Wow.

"Get in the shotgun seat— I didn’t bring Baekho with me."

Yuno just nodded before he got into the shotgun seat while Ki Gayoon sat behind the steering wheel.

Again, wow.

Yuno wasn’t unfamiliar with supercars or other luxury cars since Moon Noa was rich rich.

But that didn’t mean he’d stop getting amazed by cars like this.

"Ahjuhyung, you have a nice car."

"I know you can afford a car like this," Ki Gayoon said while driving, his eyes glued to the road. "Why not buy one?"

"Well, I prefer being a passenger princess than the driver?"

"What?"

"Nothing," Yuno said, and then he pulled the canned coffee out of the pocket of his suit. Then he put the canned coffee in the cup holder. "That’s for you, Ahjuhyung."

Ki Gayoon just smirked, and then he picked up the canned coffee. He opened it with one hand, all the while his eyes were still glued to the road. "Is this your token of gratitude because I agreed to be your champion?"

"Yes."

Ki Gayoon smirked, and then he took a sip of the coffee. "As expected, it tastes cheap. Is this the extent of your gratitude, Noh Yuno?"

"Yes, I’m a cheapskate. But..."

""But...?""

"If you win, I’ll give you a reward," Yuno said firmly. "But I don’t want a simple win, Ahjuhyung— you have to absolutely beat the crap out of Choi Kangmin’s Esper. If you’re going to reclaim your spot in the Top 5, then please do it with a bang."

So that no one would dare pick on me again.

"Pfft."

Hmm?

Ki Gayoon suddenly burst out laughing. "You really have a loose screw, Noh Yuno."

Yuno avoided the Esper’s gaze. "I don’t want to hear that from a lunatic like you, Ahjuhyung."

But I’ll let it slide because you look 10x more handsome when you’re laughing.

<"BREAKING NEWS: Esper Ki Gayoon challenged Esper Yang Youngjae to a formal duel with the 5th spot among the Top 5 on the line!">

What the fuck?

Yuno almost choked on his saliva when the news about Ki Gayoon’s fight with Yang Youngjae made it to the national news.

He turned on the TV in his bedroom after taking a bath to watch a movie.

But he didn’t expect to see Ki Gayoon’s fight with Yang Youngjae (the #5 in the county) in the evening news!

And when he checked the internet...

Oh, Ahjuhyung is trending.

Yuno immediately ran out of his bedroom and went to Ki Gayoon’s bedroom.

Which was just next door.

He was just about to knock when, all of a sudden, the door opened.

"Ahjuhyung—"

Oh.

Yuno’s brain buffered for a moment when the half-naked Ki Gayoon greeted him.

Ahjuhyung and his sinful body...

Ki Gayoon was shirtless, clad only in low-slung unbuttoned jeans that barely clung to his hips— exposing that sexy pelvis of his.

I want to draw Ahjuhyung’s body.

Yuno tried not to look at everything from the nexk down, but it was hard because the little beads of water glistening over the parts of Ki Gayoon’s lean and well-toned torso were hard to ignore.

Ahjuhyung should be the blueprint of all mafia/gangster MLs in the BL world.

"Do you look what you’re seeing, Noh Yuno?"

Yuno raised his head, surprised to see Ki Gayoon now leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest.

He’s sexy and he knows it.

Damn.

Am I getting seduced by Ahjuhyung’s sinful face and body?
