Guide Me If You Dare
Chapter 47: HARD LAUNCH

Chapter 47: HARD LAUNCH

AHJUHYUNG is getting carried away.

Yuno was the one who first put his tongue in Ki Gayoon’s mouth, so he was also the one who broke the kiss.

As expected, the grumpy old man looked pissed.

"We’re still in public, Ahjuhyung," Yuno whispered, and then his gaze went past Ki Gayoon. "And someone wants to interview you."

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Who?"

"Turn around, Ahjuhyung."

Thankfully, Ki Gayoon listened.

But why is his arm still around my waist?

"Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi, congratulations on entering the Top 5 once again!" Kwak Hakjae, the president of the Esper Association, said cheerfully while talking on a microphone. And then he pointed the mic towards Ki Gayoon. "Please tell us how you feel."

Yuno honestly thought Ki Gayoon would just ignore Kwak Hakjae.

But, much to his surprise, the grumpy old man grabbed the mic.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that Guide Noh Yuno-ssi is my exclusive Guide. The Esper Association and the National Guide Bureau will release a joint statement later," Ki Gayoon said bluntly. "Remember my Guide’s face very well. If you mess with him, I’ll kill you—"

"CONGRATULATIONS ON FINALLY FINDING YOUR EXCLUSIVE GUIDE, ESPER KI GAYOON!"

Pfft.

It was funny how Kwak Hakjae had to shout just so Ki Gayoon’s threat would be swallowed by his loud voice.

As if everyone isn’t already aware that Esper Ki Gayoon is one scary bastard.

Hence, the audience burst out laughing at Kwak Hakjae’s poor attempt at "censorship."

"Guide Noh Yuno-ssi, congratulations on being Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi’s exclusive Guide," Kwak Hakjae said, snatching the mic from Ki Gayoon to give it to Yuno. "Please tell us how you feel as the exclusive Guide of an Esper that belongs to our country’s Top 5."

To be honest, Yuno disliked being the center of attention.

But I can’t miss this opportunity for free advertising.

So, he grabbed the mic.

"Whether you’re an Esper, a Guide, or a normal Civilian, please remember how consent works," Yuno said indifferently. "It’s only consent if it’s freely given— don’t pressure or manipulate them into saying yes. Consent is reversible— they must be able to change their mind at any time. Consent should be informed— they must have all the facts first. Consent is enthusiastic— if they seem to agree but still look worried or hesitant, then it’s not consensual. Consent is specific— they can say yes to doing one thing, but not to another. Consent is—"

"CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ESPER KI GAYOON’S EXCLUSIVE GUIDE, GUIDE NOH YUNO-SSI!"

Kwak Hakjae yelled as if his life depended on it while Ki Gayoon burst out laughing.

Aigoo.

I’m not joking, though?

"NOH YUNO, I wonder just how many loose screws you have."

"I don’t know, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said lazily while monitoring the internet on his phone, ignoring Ki Gayoon who kept laughing while driving his fancy supercar. Yes, they were now headed to the hotel. "But I’m 100% sure that you have more loose screws than I do."

"Maybe that’s why we have a perfect matching rate."

Aigoo.

Someone is in a good mood.

Yuno just ignored Ki Gayoon because he was busy reading the joint press release of the Esper Association and the National Guide Bureau.

The message was short but straight to the point.

["This is the Esper Association and the National Guide Bureau.

We’re writing to inform our dear citizens that Ki Gayoon-nim (a natural S-Class Esper) has a 76% matching rate with Noh Yuno-nim (a B-Class Guide).]

Blah-blah-blah.

The rest of the message was just congratulating Yuno and Ki Gayoon and calling them a national treasure.

He then checked the community forum.

As expected, pictures and videos of Yuno and Ki Gayoon kissing were trending.

Tsk.

I’m not ugly, but I look like a squid next to Ahjuhyung.

"Noh Yuno, are we going all the way today?"

"No, we’re not," Yuno said, and then he finally raised his head to look at Ki Gayoon. "It’s for your own sake, Ahjuhyung— I need to prepare you first."

For some reason, Ki Gayoon suddenly pulled over the car.

It was pretty abrupt, so Yuno was surprised.

"Ahjuhyung, why did you suddenly—"

"I’m not a bottom, Noh Yuno."

"Then good for you?"

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "You’re not planning to bone me, are you?"

"Do you want me to? Ahjuhyung’s build is a bit intimidating, but I can try. I’m open to being either a top or a bottom."

"You... are you..."

"A virgin? Yes," Yuno said, nodding. "I didn’t get a high matching rate with the previous Espers I worked with in the past. So, yeah. I don’t know my preference yet."

"Then why did you say you need to prepare me first? Prepare for what?"

Ah, so that was where the confusion came from.

"Let’s get to the hotel first, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said, going back to monitoring the internet on his phone. "You’ll understand it easier if you experience it."

Ki Gayoon looked curious, but he didn’t ask. "Alright."

***

HWARANG HOTEL’s penthouse suite.

It was like a fancy apartment.

Yuno was broke after escaping from the Lab, but he got the chance to live in a hotel’s penthouse suite for a full month before Moon Noa took him home.

Hence, the penthouse suite wasn’t new to him.

Having said that...

"Isn’t a penthouse suite of the most luxurious hotel in the country a bit too much, Ahjuhyung?" Yuno asked. He wasn’t complaining, of course. "A normal suite would have sufficed."

"My reputation as a "business tycoon" would have suffered had I booked anything less than a penthouse suite in this hotel. And I can afford it anyway," Ki Gayoon said, and then he paused before pointing at the bathroom. "Rock, paper, scissors."

When the grumpy old man suddenly started the game, Yuno panicked a bit before going along with it.

And in the end...

"Heh. I won," Yuno said, smiling because he chose "paper" while Ki Gayoon chose "rock." "Then I’ll shower first."

Ki Gayoon clicked his tongue. "You really don’t respect your elders."

"Ahjuhyung, your "elder card" won’t work on me."
