“For someone affiliated with the Center, this is truly disappointing.”
“Yes, indeed. We only had personnel with poorer guiding efficiency than expected.”
The man in a black suit bowed his head deeply with his hands clasped in front. He had kidnapped and dissected multiple guides from the national agency ‘EGI’ located here in Muju. However, none of the guides had been helpful for ‘The City’s’ goal of materializing guide abilities.
Espers needed to mix bodies with guides for recovery and awakening. They had to kiss partners they didn’t care for and have sex for recovery. ‘The City’ believed that if guide abilities could be materialized, all these unnecessary acts would surely be eliminated.
The man who had been crossing his legs silently put them down and turned his chair to reveal himself.
“We’re abandoning Muju. Let’s head to Seoul.”
“Yes, understood!”
The man’s voice carried power. When his red lips curved into a slight smile, the subordinate bowed so deeply he nearly folded his body in half before promptly leaving the spacious room.
“What do you think, Doctor Do-hoon? The Seoul Center handles not only city security but also critical national issues, so I think they should have guides who can meet our expectations.”
“Probability exists in everything. I can’t rashly guarantee, but I believe it has the highest possibility.”
After finishing his words, Do-hoon looked down at the documents trampled under the man’s feet. They contained information about guides whose experiments had failed. Muju Center B-class guide, Yongin Center A-class guide, Hwacheon Center B-class guide…
The people who died on cold operating tables looked far more haggard and horrific than the faces captured on A4 paper. Do-hoon was the one who had placed cloth over their final expressions, so he vividly remembered those faces.
“I hope you don’t forget that making that probability one hundred percent is your responsibility, Doctor Do-hoon.”
The man smiled kindly at Do-hoon. The man with a benevolent face that seemed incapable of malice was the founder of the organization ‘The City,’ created to materialize guide abilities. An S-class esper who controlled sound, Cheonum. Disobeying his words would mean your ears—no, your entire body—would explode in no time.
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I believe in you. In your skills.”
Cheonum took Do-hoon’s hand and kissed the back of it. Do-hoon knelt on one knee. Then, as a pledge of loyalty, he rubbed his own lips against the hand where the kiss mark remained.

Ui-jin’s fingers unclenched, turning pale white. The crumpled blanket was covered with traces of their intense lovemaking. Seung-oh’s lips covered Ui-jin’s mouth, muffling his moans.
“Mmph… ngh, hnnng…!”
Every time Ui-jin exhaled with mingled moans, his unique energy seeped into Seung-oh. Instinctively craving a deeper guiding wavelength, Seung-oh pressed his deeply embedded manhood harder. When Seung-oh’s thick member, too large to fit in one’s mouth, penetrated him completely, Ui-jin arched his back and let out a cry of pleasure.
“Hnng… ah!!”
“Don’t make such weak sounds. This is where you get most excited.”
Because Seung-oh kept thrusting persistently at one spot, wet, lewd sounds came from their junction, slick with pre-cum. With each meeting of flesh, with each weighty thrust penetrating his insides, Ui-jin’s body trembled. Through his quivering body, guiding wavelengths flowed into Seung-oh like waves.
“Oh, always…ngh! You, so… haah! Har-hnngh…!”
Though Ui-jin shook his head as if it was too much, his entrance clenched even tighter. Seung-oh felt the same. As an A-class mental esper, Seung-oh could clearly see without using his abilities whether Ui-jin was excited or craving his manhood.
Guiding received at peak condition without using abilities—that is, sex occurring purely by mutual consent—only meant that the longer it lasted, the greater the climax they would have to endure.
“Ah, hah! Hnng…! Ngh, uh, hah! Now…! Haah…!! Ha… cu-cum, cu, ahng!!”
“Ji Ui-jin. Speak properly.”
Ignoring Ui-jin’s plea to cum, spoken in a dazed, slurred manner, Seung-oh intensified his thrusting. Each time the moist friction sounds reached his ears, his body seemed to become as sensitive as when they first started sex, and even after teasing Ui-jin’s hole for hours, his swollen member wouldn’t subside.
From Ui-jin’s perspective, who had already climaxed multiple times, he should have been exhausted, but whenever Seung-oh brushed against his sensitive spot, he repeatedly mounted Seung-oh’s manhood again.
“Hnn… cum, please cum… Ah! Inside, as much as you… haah! Can put in…!”
No sooner had Ui-jin finished speaking than Seung-oh gripped his buttocks. Using his thumbs to spread the hole he was ravaging for a better view, the tight, bright pink entrance that had been so snug now widened as if ready to fully accommodate his manhood. Having already released bodily fluids messily, the sight was even more obscene. Seung-oh slowly pulled back his hips.
“Ha…, why… are you pulling… ngh…!!”
And then he thrust his shaft in with one powerful stroke. The explosive moans wouldn’t stop. Ui-jin, already too dissociated to find any trace of reason, completely surrendered his body to Seung-oh who was recklessly penetrating him.
As he did so, Seung-oh’s thrusts only grew more intense. Whether it was because of the guiding efficiency approaching 100% or their physical compatibility, he couldn’t tell.
“Ah! Hnngh…! Ha, hah, ah…! Ahng!!”
“Ngh…!”
Seung-oh’s large hand, blue veins protruding, firmly gripped Ui-jin’s buttocks. It was like restraining him so that even with deep thrusts, he couldn’t pull away. Seung-oh watched Ui-jin cry out in pleasure as he pounded into the inner walls that tightly gripped his shaft. As the thrusting continued intensely enough to bruise his buttocks, Ui-jin’s rigid member spurted its fluid with a gulp.
As Ui-jin approached climax, he radiated guiding energy explosively. With guiding seeping thickly into his mind like fog, Seung-oh’s excitement overflowed like a flood. Having figured out his mechanism through countless encounters, Seung-oh continued thrusting without stopping, increasing his pace.
As the tip of his member reached the deepest point, feeling as if it would be crushed, Seung-oh’s breathing gradually stabilized. The body beneath him trembled as he kept hitting the swollen prostate engorged with pleasure.
“Ah, uah…! Ngh, hnn, aah… nng….”
Climax was always like this. Too busy exhaling ragged breaths to notice that the tip of his member rubbing against the sheet had become wet.
Ju Seung-oh felt dazed, as if all the blood in his body had been absorbed through the thorough ravaging of Ui-jin’s insides.
With Ui-jin lacking the strength to right his flipped body, barely panting, Seung-oh cleaned up the traces of their sex and personally helped him sit up, bringing a water bottle to his lips. Ui-jin’s lips, reddened from being repeatedly bitten by his front teeth, sensed the thirst and parted slightly. Lukewarm water gurgled into his opened mouth.
“Now I can live.”
Ui-jin wiped away the moisture at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and spoke with a voice mixed with air.
“So you were dead until just now?”
At Seung-oh’s words, Ui-jin’s gaze turned aloof. Despite that sharp look, Seung-oh ignored it and got up from the bed to clean up the condoms that had fallen to the floor. Several layers of heavy plastic shells piled up on his large palm.
“What would someone who’s never been penetrated know?”
“Then do you want to penetrate me? This isn’t easy, you know.”
“…Should I? Should I try it once?”
“But I wonder if you could satisfy me with that.”
Seung-oh’s gaze slid down to between Ui-jin’s closed legs as he held the condoms. Ui-jin immediately rubbed his burning ears.
“This! You’re just showing off because you’re big and good at it!”
“Thanks. That’s the highest compliment.”
Seung-oh said, dusting off his hand that had been tilted toward the trash can.
“Ugh, so annoying.”
There was no malice in his grumbling voice. Perhaps that’s why Seung-oh merely shrugged his shoulders without giving any other response. Ui-jin hadn’t meant to provoke a fight either, so he just tapped his stiff waist a couple of times while watching Seung-oh neatly fold his collected clothes.
EGI, a national agency composed of espers and guides. EGI assigned grades to espers and guides, and designated partners with compatible chemistry to share the same quarters. Thus, espers and guides selected by the nation for EGI were assigned to centers in various regions.
While espers handled minor tasks like maintaining public order or solving major crimes threatening the nation, guides promoted espers’ recovery through guiding or stabilized disturbed energy waves through ability manifestation.
Guiding was nothing special. From light physical contact to intense sexual intercourse. It was about connecting physically between compatible espers and guides. Of course, guiding efficiency was highest when they explored each other’s desires.
Guides and espers designated by the Center were generally well-matched. However, in Ui-jin and Seung-oh’s case, they showed remarkably higher guiding efficiency than other partners.
“Want to do it once more after washing up?”
“…You really…”
One thing the Center had overlooked was that Ui-jin had an abundant sex drive. He was curious and had a strong spirit of challenge. The Center recommended relationship guiding only once or twice a week outside of combat situations, but Seung-oh and Ui-jin were different. They soaked the bed sheets and tore open condoms every day.
Of course, the Center had known about their relationship for a while. However, they didn’t impose any restrictions on the two’s relationship guiding… no, their sex life, because of the expectation that Seung-oh might awaken to S-class. Not only guiding but also an esper’s growth potential depended entirely on the guide.
Yet for some reason, although his ability continued to grow, after reaching a certain point, the upward trend soon became a plateau.
“Let’s just rest. You’ll wear your bones out at this rate.”
“I feel a bit disappointed…”
“After moaning like that… you say you’re disappointed…?”
Seung-oh, deliberately composing his expression, turned on the TV. A news screen with a “Breaking News” caption appeared before them. Seung-oh’s face, holding the remote control, immediately hardened.
—Breaking news. Another guide kidnapping has occurred in Muju. The victim has been identified as a guide affiliated with the national agency ‘EGI.’ A business card that appears to be evidence was found from the victim whose body was discovered… The government has decided to eliminate all forces that violate national beliefs…
After staring at the announcer’s eyes, who was mechanically reading the prompter, for a long time, Seung-oh shook his head. When he pressed the red button at the top of the remote with his thumb, the television quickly went dark.
“The City’s work, isn’t it?”
“Obviously.”
Seung-oh pressed his throbbing temples firmly as he bluntly answered.
‘The City’ was an organization opposing the government. It was mostly composed of extraordinary civilians and was growing in power by diverting nationally-affiliated espers through the influence of some brokers, nurturing them as organization members.
But this was the official press release. For some reason, ‘The City’ continuously kidnapped guides, brutally murdered them, and then placed their bodies to be ‘discovered.’
“……”
At the terrible news, Seung-oh firmly grasped Ui-jin’s hand. Feeling the warmly transmitted heat, Ui-jin looked at Seung-oh.
“If you used your ability, it would be easy to find those involved, so why do you only use abilities like mental disruption?”
“……I don’t want to read other people’s thoughts.”
“Why?”
At Ui-jin’s words, Seung-oh closed his mouth. He was afraid that if he could read thoughts, he would see the bare truth behind the words Ui-jin had spoken in front of him.
“Just think of us as guide and esper, nothing more, nothing less. We can never be together in the first place, right? We’re just work-related. Just enjoy the physical part! Don’t think, just enjoy!”
Guide and esper can never be together. Just work-related. He was afraid that Ui-jin and Seung-oh would be trapped within those suffocating boundaries.
“Do I need to explain even that to you?”
Seung-oh got up from his seat and turned away from Ui-jin.
Ui-jin, with a crooked expression, grabbed Seung-oh. He turned his face that fit in one hand and made him look into his eyes. Light brown pupils disappeared and reappeared behind thin eyelids each time he blinked.
“After giving this body to recharge your energy, look at how you talk.”
“What did I do?”
“That’s your problem. Your face is handsome, but your words are ugly.”
Ui-jin lamented as he kneaded Seung-oh’s cheeks. Espers and guides generated energy not only through sex but also through such simple physical contact. He felt a pleasant wavelength being transmitted through the cool fingertips. Seung-oh stared blankly down at Ui-jin, then pulled his hips back and shook his head.
“Looking into people’s minds as I please, I don’t like it.”
Seung-oh, rising from the sofa, ran his fingers through the back of his hair before entering the room. Left suddenly alone, Ui-jin watched Seung-oh’s gradually retreating back before closing his mouth.
Though the Center didn’t know, Seung-oh knew better than anyone. The biggest reason why he couldn’t awaken.
“Ju Seung-oh must be going through puberty again.”
That it was because of Ji Ui-jin.
