# Chapter 43
There wasn’t a single person in the world I could trust.
To think that something like this would happen to me.
I…
To think that I would be deflowered.
If it had been the S-class Espers, I might have at least understood.
Because they were S-class Espers.
It’s not that I thought they would do such things because they were S-class Espers, but rather because I already had such a low opinion of them that I wouldn’t expect anything better.
Though I’d come to realize I had greatly misunderstood them and had changed my evaluation of them quite a bit, I still had impressions from the original work ingrained in my mind. So if an S-class Esper had done this to me, I might have understood, thinking, “Why not?”
But how could Lee Ha-min.
How could that bastard do this to me!
Feeling betrayed and dejected, I buried my face in the pillow and didn’t move at all.
It wasn’t that I was deliberately refusing to move; no matter how I tried to move my body, it was too painful to do anything.
Lee Ha-min must be squatting beside me.
He was like that when I turned my head about ten minutes ago, and an hour ago too.
His face?
He looked perfectly fine, even glowing.
“Eunwoo. Does it hurt a lot?”
“Shut up. Don’t say anything!”
I spoke without removing my face from the pillow, so my words weren’t coming out properly.
“Eunwoo, I’m sorry.”
I got more irritated because the guy saying he was sorry didn’t seem sorry at all.
“I’m sorry, Eunwoo.”
The hand that stroked my back while saying sorry gradually moved downward.
I could accept it reaching my waist.
I’ll grant that while comforting my back, he might move his hand a bit lower to stroke my waist.
But this bastard’s hand went even lower and was now patting my butt.
If he was doing this because he was sorry, shouldn’t he just tap it lightly and remove his hand?
But this bastard was fondling my butt.
Yes, fondling it.
Very intentionally.
When I whipped my head around and glared at him like I was going to kill him, Lee Ha-min smiled brightly.
Like a child who had been playing alone while waiting for his mother to wake up, and was now happy that she finally did.
“Lee Ha-min. Do you want to die?”
“Eunwoo. Why doesn’t my guiding work on you? I wish I could make it not hurt.”
Hearing those words, I slapped my forehead, wondering what I had been doing instead of healing myself all this time.
What kind of fool was I?
I can heal my own wounds.
I think it was because of the shock of being deflowered by a friend I trusted.
“You, get out!”
When I shouted, Lee Ha-min, who had been deflated with guilt until then, became stubborn.
He said it was okay for me to be angry at him and he would do whatever I asked, but he couldn’t agree to that.
The point was that I was in a state where I needed care, and he couldn’t leave me alone.
How ridiculous.
He’s probably waiting for another opportunity to devour me.
I glared at him as if that was out of the question, but Lee Ha-min didn’t budge.
I knew his determination better than anyone.
He would easily give in on things he had decided to concede on, but once he set his mind on something, his stubbornness was unbeatable.
“Hey, Lee Ha-min. If you don’t listen, I’ll never see your face again, so if that’s fine with you, go ahead.”
“…”
“If you still don’t listen, I’ll become a dedicated guide for the S-class Espers and guide them all in rotation, so keep that in mind.”
“Uh… Eunwoo…”
Like he’d encountered a maximum crisis?
He probably understood what it meant to become a dedicated guide for S-class Espers and to guide them.
But in cases where I would need to provide such intensive guiding, it would mean an S-class Esper was rampaging to the point where their life was in danger, so it seemed he couldn’t say I shouldn’t do it.
I think I threatened him the wrong way.
“You. Would you be okay with me guiding the S-class Espers?”
As I glared at him, Lee Ha-min hung his head with a dejected face.
“I wouldn’t want that, but we can’t let the S-class Espers die, can we?”
“…”
I needed to threaten this guy with different words.
“If you’re fine with never seeing my face again, then keep staying there.”
“Then I’ll be outside the door, so call me if you need anything, okay, Eunwoo?”
Since it seemed like he wouldn’t leave unless I agreed, I said okay and waved my hand, and he finally left.
Ha! Disgusting bastard.
From that point on, I used my inner energy to heal my body.
I nearly burst out laughing several times during the healing process.
I had never injured that part before, so I had no idea how to heal it.
Until now, the parts I had injured were places like my shoulders, waist, arms, or legs. I mean, who would have ever injured that secret place between the buttocks?
It was difficult to direct my inner energy there.
Later, I almost burst out laughing loudly in exasperation.
If I had, Lee Ha-min would have rushed in immediately.
Realizing this was quite a serious problem, I concentrated fully on healing and eventually succeeded.
‘I should have done this from the beginning. How stupid.’
When I got up after finishing the treatment, it didn’t hurt at all.
Since I was up, I went into the bathroom attached to the room and took a refreshing shower, but damn it.
Every time I walked, there was a strange feeling between my thighs.
I will definitely kill that bastard Lee Ha-min!
Leaving marks on my body?
Every time I walked, his traces would leak out bit by bit, which made me deeply annoyed, but I finally got myself together.
It was my own fault for not knowing I should have done that from the beginning, but I still couldn’t let this go.
When I flung the door open and went outside, Lee Ha-min curled up like a small animal and just rolled his eyes to look at me.
This despicable thing.
“Lee Ha-min. You’re banned from approaching me from now on. Don’t come near me. Don’t come within a one-kilometer radius.”
“Eunwoo. But my room and your room are less than 10 meters apart?”
“Get another place to stay!”
“That… doesn’t seem possible.”
“Then don’t let me see you!!”
Maybe it was because I was shouting so loudly, but the S-class Espers crawled out of their respective rooms.
“Eunwoo-ssi is so energetic this morning. As expected of an S-class. I thought we were going to be burying Lee Ha-min yesterday. Just how amazing is your guiding ability?”
Shim Woo-jin asked with a bright, smiling face.
I wanted to make “guiding” a forbidden word for a while, but I wasn’t sure if these people would cooperate.
“Me too. I really thought Lee Ha-min was going to die.”
Kyun In said that and then scrutinized Lee Ha-min’s face.
It seemed like he was trying to check if he was really okay.
The one you should be worried about right now isn’t Lee Ha-min, it’s me!
I wanted to tell him that, but since I was also in good shape now, they probably wouldn’t believe me anyway.
But surprisingly, the completely unexpected Byun Tae-young looked at me intently.
“Seo Eunwoo. Are you okay? Shouldn’t you be bedridden and suffering by now?”
“What?”
“Wasn’t that your first time doing such difficult guiding? Even if it wasn’t your first time, shouldn’t you be collapsing from exhaustion? Seo Eunwoo, is it possible that your body is feeling the strain but you yourself don’t realize it?”
I was about to ignore his words, thinking he was treating me like an idiot, but the other S-class Espers seemed to agree with him and looked at me.
“That’s right, Seo Eunwoo Esper. Are you really okay? I think Seo Eunwoo Esper might have a problem in that area. You know, they say some people are like that. People who can’t feel pain. Isn’t Seo Eunwoo Esper that type? You feel pain, but you don’t realize when you’re struggling. Your physical body has actually reached its limit, but you don’t know it. So you’re slowly dying without even realizing it.”
Even if I told them!
But the S-class Espers seemed to think it was quite plausible. They approached me, putting their hands on my forehead and showing me two fingers in front of my eyes.
“Eunwoo-ssi. How many do you see?”
Shim Woo-jin asked with a truly serious face, without any intention of mocking me, and though I shook my head, I still told him I saw two.
“Seo Eunwoo, are you really okay? Aren’t you in pain?”
“No.”
When I answered Byun Tae-young, everyone had expressions of disbelief.
“That’s really amazing.”
But they weren’t just impressed; now it seemed like this had created another concern for them.
“As I’ve said before, I think we need to be more careful than ever. It’s been clearly proven that Origin can’t protect Central on their own. The cracks will appear in an instant, right? They’ll absolutely need us. To maintain their system.”
Kyun In spoke with a serious face about something they had discussed before.
“Do you really think they’ll go as far as kidnapping S-class Espers, hyung? I thought you were just saying that. How could they kidnap S-class Espers? It’s only because we don’t use our abilities against people, but if we really wanted to, there’s nothing we couldn’t do. If some fool tried to mess with me, I could just burn them to ashes. What madman would try to kidnap me?”
Byun Tae-young spoke as if there was nothing to seriously consider, and Shim Woo-jin nodded in agreement.
“Right. That’s what I think too.”
Then he tilted his head.
“No, actually. I might be vulnerable. Lee Ha-min might be too?”
Then he looked at me, and seemingly deciding I didn’t need to worry, turned his attention back to Lee Ha-min.
