Off Guard

His unrequited love came down with amnesia. And the only thing he forgot—was me.

“Why… are you looking at me like that?”

“I don’t know. Maybe because it’s surreal to hear that someone this pretty is my lover.”

S-Class Esper Sung Cha-hyeon, who lost his memories inside a dungeon with a 7% survival rate, comes out with only one thing missing: his recollection of Ji Se-min, his Pair Guide who was like a real brother to him. And he ends up believing Se-min’s lie—without the slightest doubt.

— “Esper Sung Cha-hyeon! Are you and Pair Guide Ji Se-min still just close like brothers?”

— “We’re dating.”

Pfft!

The lie? That they’re actually engaged to be married.

Even when Se-min tries to tell the truth, Cha-hyeon only hears what he wants and believes it blindly. And then—he drops a bomb during a live interview by publicly announcing their romantic relationship.

“Ahh, so Se-min doesn’t date people he only kisses and sleeps with. Wait—don’t tell me you just fucked your hyung and ran?”

Faced with the outrageous behavior of the man he sees as family, Se-min is plunged into deep confusion. What happens when his memories come back…?

“You think I’ll regret this when I remember everything? Well, if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to go all in and regret it later?”

A whisper slips through the cracks, exploiting his hesitation. That voice, low and coaxing, leaves Se-min’s mouth dry with anxiety. Is it okay… to take this chance?
