# Chapter 85
Han Seungho, who had been staring at the scene as if entranced, unconsciously tried to kiss Hajin again but found his nape caught by Lee Doyoon once more.
“Where do you think you’re going again?”
“Ah, seriously…”
With everyone watching him, Han Seungho had no choice but to get up. Though his eyes were full of lingering desire for Hajin’s lips, he had to give up when he met Cha Jinwoo’s gaze.
“Tch, I should have gone later.”
“What difference would it make if the order changed?”
At Lee Doyoon’s snide remark, Han Seungho finally snapped.
“Why do you keep talking informally to me?”
“…Are you really one to talk?”
Leaving their comedic exchange behind, Cha Jinwoo sat beside Hajin. As Han Seungho moved away, Hajin had completely lain down, so Cha Jinwoo supported his back to help him sit up, then carefully wiped his lips that were wet with saliva.
Unlike Han Seungho who had rushed impatiently, Cha Jinwoo waited until Hajin caught his breath and was ready. Hajin expressed his gratitude through his eyes, preparing not just his body but also his mind.
The atmosphere somehow became a world of just the two of them, causing both Lee Doyoon and Han Seungho, who had just kissed Hajin moments ago, to pout.
Especially Han Seungho, who had just witnessed his own traces being wiped away, had a darkened gaze. But they couldn’t intervene between the two who hadn’t even touched lips yet.
“May I kiss you?”
Hajin blushed slightly, seemingly embarrassed by the sudden question. Whether from embarrassment or shyness, as Hajin’s face turned red, the jealousy of those watching grew.
However, Hajin was too preoccupied to notice their jealousy, and Cha Jinwoo didn’t care as if it wasn’t his business.
“Yes. Thank you for waiting.”
At Hajin’s answer, Cha Jinwoo moved forward, neither too quickly nor too slowly.
He gently pressed their lips together and moved his own slowly to stimulate Hajin’s. At this innocent kiss that seemed like that of young lovers, Hajin unconsciously closed his eyes softly.
“Mmm, ahh…”
The lips that had wiped away Han Seungho’s traces began to grow wet again with Cha Jinwoo’s. Hajin was completely immersed in their kiss.
The sound created when their wet lips met and parted seemed to make his toes tingle.
He would press lightly with a small smacking sound, then part, or take Hajin’s lower lip between his and brush it with his tongue. Hajin grew hazy from Cha Jinwoo’s actions.
Even without intertwining their tongues, it was more sensual than any other kiss. But that wasn’t all. Whenever Hajin was about to become dazed from the haziness, Cha Jinwoo would, with ghostly precision, gently bite his swollen, blood-filled lower lip.
Each time, Hajin would twist his waist in surprise and from the electrifying sensation that ran down his spine.
“Hngh…!”
Han Seungho and Lee Doyoon, who were watching the two kiss, felt their necks stiffen. The kiss grew increasingly intense, and though they too could feel the strange atmosphere between them, they couldn’t stop it.
They were only exploring each other’s lips, not even starting the Guiding yet.
They hadn’t known Cha Jinwoo could be so cunning. Cha Jinwoo and cunning?
What an incongruous combination. They felt betrayed by this new side of their team leader with whom they had spent no small amount of time.
Lee Doyoon clenched his fists, resisting the urge to pull Cha Jinwoo away from Hajin immediately. Even if he acted on impulse and separated them now, if Cha Jinwoo insisted that he hadn’t received Guiding yet, they would have to witness this again.
“Mmm…”
Wet, obscene sounds pricked their ears. The two wished, just for this moment, that an Esper’s superior physical abilities weren’t so acute.
They wanted to look away, but they couldn’t tear their eyes from Hajin’s figure, increasingly surrendering to pleasure.
Cha Jinwoo, sensing the murderous gazes boring into his back, parted Hajin’s lips. But instead of entangling their tongues, he ran the tip of his tongue along the roof of Hajin’s mouth, causing Hajin’s waist to jerk strongly.
“Hnngh!”
Though Hajin let out a moan, it was muffled against their joined lips. Unconsciously gripping Cha Jinwoo’s collar tightly, Hajin clung to him and trembled.
Even through the hazy pleasure, Hajin thought that at this rate, they might end up doing something in front of Han Seungho and Lee Doyoon.
Already feeling his lower half beginning to respond, Hajin moved his tongue to try to catch Cha Jinwoo’s, sensing the danger.
But Cha Jinwoo was no easy opponent. He would dodge when Hajin tried to touch him, and while evading gently, he continued to stimulate various parts of Hajin’s mouth, driving him crazy.
‘He said he’s never received mucosal Guiding from another Guide, so how…!’
Even if that had been a lie and he was an experienced player, only Hajin was growing desperate from his skilled movements. How could he face anyone if he got aroused just from kissing?
Hajin cupped Cha Jinwoo’s face, signaling him to stay still. Sensing that he shouldn’t tease anymore, Cha Jinwoo finally surrendered himself obediently to Hajin.
As Cha Jinwoo gave up running away, Hajin quickly captured his tongue. Cha Jinwoo laughed low in his throat at Hajin’s eagerness.
Provoked by that laugh, Hajin bit at his tongue, but Cha Jinwoo stimulated him more by running his fingers down the nape of Hajin’s neck.
“Hah!”
“That’s it! I can’t stand it anymore!”
Lee Doyoon, who had been enduring as if swallowing a hot stone, immediately pulled Hajin away from Cha Jinwoo as soon as he reached his limit.
The sight of Hajin with flushed cheeks, swollen lips, and a disheveled appearance was breathtaking, but the fact that he wasn’t the one who had created this sight made Lee Doyoon feel like he was testing the limits of his patience.
‘Ah, damn…’
Becoming aware of Lee Doyoon and Han Seungho’s presence again, Hajin lowered his head, belatedly embarrassed. His face burned at the realization that they had all witnessed him kissing Cha Jinwoo, feeling pleasure, and moaning.
If the other person had been forceful like Han Seungho, it would have been less embarrassing. But in this case, he had enjoyed it too much.
“Ahem, I’ll be in my room then. Let’s go for the examination as soon as Mr. Baek Jaan wakes up.”
Hajin ultimately chose to escape to his room. After Hajin left, a cold silence remained.
With him gone—the only one who could put a brake on the situation—the atmosphere between the three men became even more precarious, like thin ice.
“Wow, I didn’t know the team leader could be so cunning.”
Han Seungho spoke as if chewing each word, but Cha Jinwoo didn’t even blink. Rather, he just smiled leisurely, making the young men crazy with jealousy.
“Ah, seriously! Just wait. Next time, I definitely won’t let it go so easily.”
He didn’t mean he wouldn’t let Cha Jinwoo go. It meant that if another opportunity came, he wouldn’t let Hajin go so easily. Meanwhile, Hajin, unaware of the grave being dug for him, was busy cooling his heated body with cold water.
* * *
After receiving Guiding from Hajin and sleeping soundly for more than 12 hours, Baek Jaan was puzzled by the strangely tense atmosphere. Hajin’s reaction, in particular, was unusually strong.
His expressionless face wasn’t much different from usual, but he was strangely avoiding eye contact with those three people.
‘Something happened.’
He could tell almost instinctively, perhaps because it involved Hajin. Whatever event had occurred around Hajin while he was asleep, Baek Jaan didn’t like it.
The idea that there was something about Hajin that he didn’t know bothered him. But even if he asked, they probably wouldn’t tell him.
“Hyung, I’m up. Thank you for putting me to sleep.”
Instead, he chose to use this opportunity to draw Hajin’s attention to himself. At the same time, he casually mentioned what had happened the night before to provoke the three, making sure not to forget.
It was a reminder that they weren’t the only ones who had shared some sort of event with Hajin. Sure enough, Han Seungho, who understood ghostly well, furrowed his brow in displeasure.
However, Hajin was startled by the mention of the previous night and fled the scene, causing Han Seungho to miss his timing to respond.
“Since Mr. Baek Jaan is awake too, let’s go for the examination. Is that okay?”
Normally, Hajin would have first made sure Baek Jaan had eaten and then moved at a leisurely pace, but as embarrassing things kept happening to him, he became flustered and acted hastily.
But Baek Jaan, who would jump into a fire pit carrying straw if Hajin told him to, nodded obediently.
“If it’s what you want, hyung, I’m fine with anything, anytime.”
“Ugh, that fox bastard.”
Han Seungho was glad that Hajin had returned, but he was displeased at having to see Baek Jaan’s fox-like behavior again.
Baek Jaan followed Hajin to the entrance with a gentle smile but suddenly realized something and spoke up.
“By the way, I guess the Guiding finished while I was asleep?”
At this innocent question, Hajin’s shoulders, which had been off guard, jerked noticeably. It was a very clear sign of affirmation. Hajin answered without looking back.
He reassured himself that there was nothing to be embarrassed about with Baek Jaan, who hadn’t seen anything.
“That’s how it turned out.”
There was no other way to express it. Hajin led the Espers toward the hospital ward. It seemed his face had become more widely known, as people’s gazes fixed on him throughout their walk.
Their eyes contained the shock of witnessing someone they thought was dead returning alive. However, the gazes they encountered on the way were nothing compared to when they entered the Association.
“Gasp!”
“Guide Lee Hajin?!”
Structurally, to enter the hospital ward, they had to pass through the Association building, and the moment Hajin set foot inside, the eyes of every employee in the lobby turned to him.
