# Chapter 67
Choi Jihyung continued with two fingers extended.
“I’ll give you two choices. One is to fight me and have Hajin all to yourself.”
Puppy swallowed, as if the mere thought was sweet.
“And the other?”
Just as Choi Jihyung was about to answer—
BOOM!
An enormous vibration shook the entire building as sirens began to wail. Weeeeeooong! Hajin squeezed his eyes shut at the deafening noise that felt like it was hammering directly into his brain.
[Emergency situation! We’re under attack! All Espers assemble!]
“What…?”
Everyone present was startled by the sudden situation. However, Choi Jihyung quickly regained his composure and addressed Puppy.
“The other option is to join hands with me. I didn’t expect this situation, but it’s actually perfect. Decide. Will you fight me now or will you join me?”
“Puppy. Please help me.”
Hajin set aside his pride and pleaded. He believed his persuasion would work since Puppy had experienced Contact Guiding with him.
Indeed, Puppy seemed to waver at Hajin’s words. When Hajin pleaded for help while in pain, Puppy twitched as if wanting to reach out immediately. But he didn’t extend his hand completely.
Hajin’s heart raced wildly with anxiety. He had believed in an Esper’s blind affection for their Guide. But he didn’t understand the blind spot of that affection.
At any other time, Puppy wouldn’t have even acknowledged Choi Jihyung’s words. He would have granted whatever Hajin wanted.
“…But no escaping.”
However, if it meant Hajin would leave his side, he couldn’t allow it. Puppy finally understood why Seo Jihan had acted the way he did before.
Now he understood why Jihan couldn’t fulfill his Guide’s wishes despite being distressed by his tears, and why he had become a wreck over a single Guide.
“What did you say…?”
Meanwhile, Hajin was shocked that Puppy had sided with Choi Jihyung. Though he had been on the other’s side from the start, Hajin never thought he would ignore his plea.
‘…Right, he’s just another crazy bastard.’
He shouldn’t have expected a madman to follow common sense, but being a rational person himself, he kept assuming others would think along the same lines.
Puppy couldn’t meet Hajin’s sharp gaze and lowered his head. But after briefly hanging his head glumly, he looked up again as Choi Jihyung slowly began approaching Hajin.
As if his timid demeanor had all been a lie, Choi Jihyung approached the struggling Hajin with a leering smile.
The closer his footsteps came, the more violent Hajin’s movements became. He had to break free from these ropes somehow, even if his hands were torn off.
‘Damn it! If only I could use Guiding…!’
If he could just use Radiative Guiding, putting these two to sleep would be nothing. That’s why, even knowing it was impossible, Hajin continuously tried to release his Guiding.
It felt like trying to break through something completely blocked. Cold sweat dripped from Hajin’s body as he struggled to force his immovable Guiding to work.
Guiding had never been this difficult before. He was also learning for the first time that trying to move forcibly blocked Guiding was painful. But despite the pain he felt both inside and out, Hajin couldn’t stop.
‘You think… I’ll just give in?’
Hajin had been pushed around too much. And not just in the current situation. His life had always been controlled by others.
He had pretended that he chose everything himself, but that wasn’t the reality. He’d been swayed by his father’s dying wish, had to choose the government to avoid forces targeting him, and now had been kidnapped and confined.
There was no way Hajin would quietly watch as they tied him up and tried to take him by force.
Hajin kept resisting.
The Guiding that couldn’t be released and kept circulating inside his body felt like it would explode at any moment, like a hose with the end blocked while water flowed in.
“Ugh, hah…!”
Despite Hajin’s labored breathing and suffering, Choi Jihyung paid no mind.
Instead, he trembled as if in ecstasy while looking at Hajin, who glared at him despite his gasping breath.
“Ahh, Hajin… I feel like I could come just like this. You really are the best…!”
It was disgusting how he prioritized his desires over urgency, especially when the attack was likely from people coming to rescue Hajin.
Seeing him flush and pat his waist, Hajin closed his eyes, his strength draining from disgust.
With his eyes closed, he could feel the circulating Guiding inside him more clearly. As if following its master’s will, the Guiding violently churned inside, seemingly desperate to get out.
If there was just a tiny gap, he could do it, but he couldn’t find that gap anywhere.
Thump, thump.
As if aware of the situation, Choi Jihyung approached Hajin with slow steps. Despite the distance not being far, his leisurely pace made the footsteps echo for quite some time.
“Not working, is it? Don’t waste your energy unnecessarily. I’ll untie the ropes binding your hands and feet anyway.”
But Hajin neither opened his eyes nor stopped trying to escape. Whether it was futile or not, he would be the one to decide that.
“My goodness… Tiring yourself out only hurts you. Will you be able to handle both of us if you’re exhausted?”
“…Stop talking. Just hurry up and untie me after you’re done.”
Unlike the relaxed Choi Jihyung, Puppy still couldn’t take his eyes off Hajin’s bound limbs.
For good reason. Hajin’s hands and feet were swollen and turning purple, painful even for onlookers to see.
He had ignored Hajin’s plea for help because he couldn’t let him go.
Yet having already given his heart completely to Hajin, Puppy was restless seeing him still in pain.
Hajin wanted to close his eyes to Puppy’s disgusting attitude—pretending to be concerned while being just as bad as the other. But he endured somehow, feeling that closing his eyes would be like accepting the situation.
Meanwhile, despite Puppy’s urging, Choi Jihyung remained relaxed. He shrugged and said:
“I want to do that too. But Hajin isn’t answering my question. Did you tell him by any chance?”
That triggered a memory. It had been a casual question, and since Hajin had never thought he could escape, he had answered without much thought.
Puppy shut his mouth at the question. Reading the answer from that reaction, Choi Jihyung clicked his tongue as if things had become troublesome, but still maintained his leisurely attitude.
After all, time was on his side, not Hajin’s.
Choi Jihyung closed the remaining distance in one swift movement. Then he carefully pulled back Hajin’s damp bangs that were sticking to his forehead. His touch was as careful as if he were handling a sugar sculpture that would break at the slightest touch.
“Hajin, if you keep being stubborn, you’ll only hurt yourself.”
It was the kind of touch Hajin had to endure dozens of times daily to avoid Contact Guiding. Hajin’s skin beneath his fingertips was damp and cold with sweat.
But Choi Jihyung bit his lip and held back his climax as if nothing could be better. He couldn’t ejaculate from just this much contact.
His first ejaculation had to happen deep inside Hajin.
“Hmm…”
His composure vanished upon touching Hajin’s skin. If just caressing his face felt this good, how good would it feel to be inside him? Choi Jihyung grew impatient.
“Hajin, listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to hurt you. This is our first experience—I don’t want to make it painful. Okay?”
As if intoxicated, Choi Jihyung continued caressing Hajin’s cheek while urging him.
“…”
“What? Can you say that again?”
Choi Jihyung brought his ear close to Hajin’s lips, which were muttering something softly. He didn’t care what Hajin was trying to say.
His ability only required hearing the other person’s response to be used. Even if Hajin were cursing, it would still count as a response to his words.
He could feel Hajin’s breath on his ear. With his hand still cupping Hajin’s face, he could kiss him just by turning his head. His mouth went dry at the mere thought, and saliva pooled.
Hajin was still breathing roughly, unable to steady his breath, likely still in considerable pain. Through those breaths, Hajin’s low voice leaked out.
“Fuck off, you bastard…”
I’ve won.
Just as Choi Jihyung was about to use his ability after hearing the response, an indescribable sensation he had never felt before spread throughout his body from the hand touching Hajin’s face.
Instinctively, he knew it was Guiding. Yet Choi Jihyung couldn’t bring himself to remove his hand from Hajin, even knowing that all his plans would crumble if this continued.
“Ah… Ahhh…”
How could he pull away? How could anyone distance themselves from this satisfaction?
Choi Jihyung wept at the fulfillment spreading through his entire body. The only sad thing was that Hajin wouldn’t be by his side when he opened his eyes again.
Thud.
Choi Jihyung collapsed, unable to hold on. Tears continued to flow from his eyes even in sleep. But whether he shed tears or snot was none of Hajin’s concern.
Having struggled to his feet, Hajin looked at Puppy. Their eyes met, and Puppy’s shoulders twitched. Though invisible, he could sense it instinctively.
That Hajin had finally overcome the Guiding blockage.
If Guiding were visible, one could have seen it shimmering around his body like heat haze.
Gulp.
He swallowed unconsciously. Didn’t he know how blissful Hajin’s Guiding was? Even knowing it was a trap, his body kept trying to move toward Hajin, desperate for his touch.
“Puppy, I’ll ask one last time. Please untie this.”
