Chapter 64: BUSYBODY

Chapter 64: BUSYBODY

"BOSS, according to the report I received, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi had lunch with Miss Bae Youngji in a restaurant known for its rosé pasta. After that, the Little Boss and Miss Bae went to a café and stayed there for five hours."

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Who the fuck stays in a café for five hours?"

"Young people, Boss," Baekho said bluntly while handing a computer tablet to him. "The café that Little Boss and Miss Bae went to is called Work Together Café. It is famous for being a shared space where students and young workers come to do their work while having coffee. The café offers free wifi and each table has a charging spot for several devices—"

"I don’t care about the details," Gayoon said, cutting off Baekho’s nonsense while checking the pictures on the computer tablet. "So, this woman is just a work colleague."

Tsk.

Gayoon didn’t like how Noh Yuno was smiling in the photos.

Overall, that punk had a gentle look on his face the entire time he was with that Bae Youngji.

He rarely smiles when he’s with me.

"So, did this little rusty shit have dinner with this woman, too?"

"No, Boss. They already went separate ways because Miss Bae brought a car," Baekho said while shaking his head. "According to our people, the Little Boss is on his way home."

Weird.

Gayoon was hella pissed just a moment ago.

But hearing that Noh Yuno was on his way home improved his mood.

"I better start cooking then," Gayoon said while standing up. "That punk ate rosé pasta with his colleague?"

Hah.

My spaghetti is better than any rosé pasta.

***

"NOH YUNO, stop playing with your food. If you don’t like spaghetti, just say so. Tell me what you want to eat and I’ll prepare it for you."

Aigoo.

I got scolded.

Yuno forgot that he was having dinner with Ki Gayoon.

Only the two of them were in the dining hall this time.

We usually eat with Baekho-ssi and the other gangster-Espers, but I wonder why they aren’t here now.

"Noh Yuno, answer."

"I like this spaghetti, Hyung," Yuno said, taking a big bite to prove that he wasn’t lying. "I’m just thinking of something annoying."

Ki Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "What upset you this time?"

"Hyung, how does being on the verge of a Rampage feel like? Does it hurt you physically? Or does it make you weak?"

Of course, Yuno knew what a Rampage was.

I just want to hear how it feels like from an Esper.

"Well, first of all, being on the verge of a Rampage drives Espers crazy," Ki Gayoon said. "When the Madness tries to take over our sanity, we hear this constant static sound in our heads— it gives us splitting headaches. And calling it a ’headache’ is just putting it lightly. To me, it feels like my skull is being crushed."

High-ranking Espers like Ki Gayoon had high pain tolerance.

So, if Hyung said that the headache they get from their Madness hurts that much, then the pain could probably kill a normal person.

No wonder Espers would go insane during a Rampage.

Esper Lee Sarang-ssi is amazing for holding it together.

"Why are you asking me about it?" Ki Gayoon asked curiously. "Did something happen while you were playing outside?"

"I didn’t "play"— I was working earlier," Yuno corrected him. "Anyway, what do you think of Esper Lee Sarang, Hyung? Are you close to her?"

"I’m not close to that kid. But Lee Sarang is the only person I can tolerate among my fellow natural S-Class Espers."

"Esper Lee Sarang does come across as someone patient. Is she kind?"

"If being kind is synonymous with being a pushover, then I guess she is?"

Oh.

Well, Esper Lee Sarang does look like a pushover if she’s letting her Guide walk all over her. I mean, my heart goes to my fellow Guides in most cases. But just because I support Guides’ rights doesn’t mean I support their wrongdoings.

"Noh Yuno, are you into women? I thought you weren’t straight."

Aigoo.

"Hyung, if you’re going to ask about my sexual orientation, you should have done it more tactfully."

"Am I known for being tactful?"

"Right. It was my fault for forgetting that Hyung left his manners in his mother’s womb."

"Why are you suddenly so curious about Lee Sarang?"

"She bought HoneyMoon Guiding Pills at the store earlier," Yuno shared with Ki Gayoon because even though Ki Gayoon was rude most of the time, he was still a tight-lipped person. "She said her Guide was busy. But then I saw Guide Mo Hanjin hanging out with his friends at the restaurant. I even heard his conversation with his friend "accidentally." It seems like he’s neglecting Esper Lee Sarang on purpose."

"Okay, but so what?"

"Huh?"

"What do we care about their issue? It’s none of our business," Ki Gayoon said nonchalantly. "And they’re both adults— they know what they’re doing."

Tsk.

"I thought Hyung would care about Esper Lee Sarang. After all, it seems like you hate her less than the others."

"The only thing I care about right now is whether you’re into men or women."

Aigoo.

"What does it matter to you, Hyung?"

"You always tell me that I’m not your type, so I want to know what your type is."

So, was it just a small talk?

Well, it’s not like it’s hard to answer.

"I like anyone who’s pretty whether they’re a man or a woman," Yuno said, shrugging. "I guess I’m into good-looking people?"

"Then why am I not your type?" Ki Gayoon asked, obviously confused. "I’m handsome and you like my dick."

Aigoo.

The arrogance...

Well, Hyung has the face and the body to back it up.

"I think I also said that my type is someone normal. So, a pretty Civilian," Yuno said, going back to his spaghetti because his appetite had already returned. "How about you, Hyung? What’s your type?"

"Not you," Ki Gayoon said grumpily. "I don’t know what my type is, but it’s definitely not a little rusty shit like you."

Okay?

Why is this dude angry again?

***

YUNO wasn’t a busybody.

He liked minding his own business.

But god seemed to be testing his patience.

"Yuno-ssi, can I get some Guiding Pills again?"

It was Lee Sarang, dressed similarly as she did yesterday. She was back in the HoneyMoon Convenience Store again and she arrived three minutes after Yuno put up the ’open’ sign on the door.

And she’s here for Guiding Pills again.

But Lee Sarang looked worse now than she did earlier.

"I’m sorry, but as a Guide, I don’t recommend taking more Guiding Pills, ma’am," Yuno said politely. "Please ask your exclusive Guide to help you."

To be honest, he was ready for Lee Sarang to yell at him.

After all, Espers on the verge of a Rampage are sensitive.

However, that didn’t happen.

Lee Sarang suddenly burst into tears— bawling like a child. "Please, just give me the Guiding Pills, Yuno-ssi," she begged him between sobs. "I can’t take it anymore— I feel like I’m going insane."

Haaah.

Yuno clenched his hands, his head already filled with ways to fix the problem in the most violent way possible. "Esper Lee Sarang-ssi, let me walk you to the Bureau."

So much for ’not’ being a busybody.
