The two of them leaned comfortably against each other as they watched the news. The news was reporting on stories related to ability users or gates. Information about foreign gates or trends in domestic guilds flowed across the screen. How long had they been watching the news like this? The topic changed to the Apostles of the End.
[Verdicts are being handed down one after another for the terrorist organization members who called themselves the Apostles of the End. Their punishment levels are determined based on the Special Law for Ability Users. With the main culprit, Park Sunwoo, already deceased, voices demanding strong punishment for the organization’s leaders are growing louder. Especially the families of victims who were sacrificed in the terrorist attacks led by these individuals are continuing to hold rallies calling for severe punishment day after day.]
[So, what level of punishment is expected for these individuals?]
[As the Special Law for Ability Users was enacted not too long ago, it’s expected that there will be considerable deliberation in reaching a verdict. However, we can refer to precedents of ability users who have committed violent crimes. There’s a case from three years ago where a hunter who committed murder received a 15-year forced mandatory service sentence. Therefore, those involved in this terrorist act…]
Eunseok turned off the news with the remote. Many people had been sacrificed due to the mutants and gate breaks triggered by the Apostles of the End. They deserved severe punishment. However, watching the news made Eunseok think of Ji Taeuk, and his heart became troubled. Eunseok hoped that Moon Bora wouldn’t watch the news for a while.
When he checked the clock, it was already almost midnight.
“I’ll go wash up.”
Eunseok patted Choi Hanseo’s thigh and got up from the sofa, heading to the bathroom.
When he came out after showering, Choi Hanseo was lying on the bed. He pulled back the covers as if inviting Eunseok to come in quickly. Under the covers, Choi Hanseo was revealing his splendid body wearing only underwear, as he did every night.
As Eunseok climbed onto the bed and lay down, Choi Hanseo pulled him by the waist. They naturally pressed their lips together and began to kiss softly. Of course, it was only a moment before that soft kiss turned passionate.
Choi Hanseo was a man whose stamina was impressive, and his desires were always at their peak. At least when it came to Eunseok. And Eunseok, being in his prime, was also at an age where his sexual desires were overflowing. Naturally, almost every night, and sometimes even in the mornings, they were busy rolling around in each other’s arms. They were burning so hot that it made them wonder if it was okay to live so indulgently.
Choi Hanseo’s hand, which was showering Eunseok with hot and passionate kisses, slid downwards. His hand gripped Eunseok’s buttocks tightly as if about to burst them.
“Will you be okay?”
Choi Hanseo asked, breathing heavily. Gripping the buttocks was a gesture indicating he wanted to go all the way to penetration.
Anyway, tomorrow there was nothing scheduled except for guiding. Eunseok nodded slightly. Choi Hanseo’s eyes immediately heated up. Eunseok’s body, knowing well the extreme pleasure of feeling Choi Hanseo’s member strike his deepest point, also started to heat up.
Wet kisses and intense petting continued. Just as Choi Hanseo, unable to hold back any longer, took out the gel, it happened.
Ring ring-.
A monotonous phone ringtone sounded. Choi Hanseo glanced at the phone, ignored it, and opened the gel cap with a pop. But that was as far as it went. Choi Hanseo’s smartwatch started beeping.
“…It seems urgent, you should check it.”
Eunseok picked up the phone and handed it to Choi Hanseo. Choi Hanseo’s face was covered in dissatisfaction as he took the phone.
“Hello.”
Choi Hanseo didn’t hide his dissatisfaction even as he answered the phone. However, his expression gradually changed as he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
“…Yes. I understand. Prepare the helicopter. I’ll come up as soon as it’s ready.”
Choi Hanseo spoke in a rigid voice and ended the call.
“What’s the matter?”
Eunseok asked worriedly.
“I have to go on an urgent business trip to Jeju Island.”
Choi Hanseo said in a faintly irritated voice, then let out a sigh full of regret as he rested his head on Eunseok’s shoulder. The disappointment was mutual. But Eunseok hugged Choi Hanseo as if to comfort him and patted his shoulder.
“Hurry and get ready. You said it was urgent.”
“When I come back, we’ll continue right away.”
Choi Hanseo whispered, biting Eunseok’s earlobe. Then he got off the bed as if shaking off his lingering feelings. Eunseok went into the dressing room with Choi Hanseo. Choi Hanseo took out a suit, and Eunseok put on comfortable clothes.
“Just go to sleep.”
Choi Hanseo urged, realizing that Eunseok was trying to see him off.
“It’s just upstairs. I’ll see you off.”
Eunseok straightened Choi Hanseo’s tie and pulled him outside.
When they got off the elevator, the helicopter was already waiting.
“I’ll be back.”
Choi Hanseo pulled Eunseok’s waist and lightly kissed his lips.
“Take care.”
Eunseok also squeezed Choi Hanseo’s hand once tightly before letting go.
Choi Hanseo stared at Eunseok for a moment as if shaking off his regret, then turned and pushed himself into the helicopter. It seemed urgent indeed, as the helicopter immediately began to take off. Eunseok watched for a long time as the helicopter cut through the night sky and disappeared into the distance before turning around.
Moon Bora, who always liked to finish with a neck slice, sliced off the boss’s head with her longsword. She had claimed the final blow, saying she needed to break in the new longsword Eunseok had bought her from America.
“Today ended without me getting to fire even once again.”
Kwon Eunchae, who had just finished cheering for Moon Bora, said glumly while fiddling with the gun in her holster.
“For now, getting used to carrying it is the priority. If used incorrectly, guns can harm team members or become an obstacle when team members are attacking.”
Eunseok calmly comforted Kwon Eunchae. It wasn’t easy to refrain from using a carried firearm when one was in the middle of learning how to shoot. Fortunately, Kwon Eunchae was taking Eunseok’s advice very well.
“Did you see? Did you see? This one is really good. It’s perfect for me.”
Moon Bora boasted, swinging her new longsword that had just sliced off the boss’s head through the air. She seemed extremely pleased with the new longsword. Eunseok nodded while suppressing a laugh. Behind Moon Bora, the team members were touching the weapons Eunseok had gifted them, smiling with satisfaction.
Baekho Guild’s 1st Attack Team specializes in A-rank raids. Therefore, they usually don’t take on B-rank or lower gate raids. However, after the Apostles of the End incident, the number of espers belonging to the Ability User Management Bureau has drastically decreased. As a result, the number of gates assigned to each guild has increased significantly. Thanks to this, today the 1st Attack Team had to raid a B-rank gate, while the 2nd Attack Team simultaneously raided a C-rank gate.
By now, even a B-rank gate felt like a picnic with light training for Eunseok. It meant he had become that accustomed to this side.
“By the way, when will the Guild Master return? It’s already been two days.”
Kwon Eunchae grumbled as she emerged from the gate. True to her status as an avid member of the couple’s fan cafe, she really liked seeing Choi Hanseo and Eunseok together.
It was when the women were changing their dirty clothes inside the limousine van, and the men were roughly washing their hands and faces with bottled water outside. Suddenly, Choi Hanseo’s sedan was seen rushing towards them from the distance.
“Oh, it’s the Guild Master!”
Kwon Eunchae, who had finished changing, said with sparkling eyes. Unlike usual, the sedan drove at a high speed and came to an abrupt stop right in front of the group.
Instead of the back door, the front passenger door flung open. And the one who came out was none other than Chief Secretary Lee Eunju.
“Oh, Chief Secretary?”
“What brings Secretary Lee here?”
Kwon Eunchae and Moon Bora looked puzzled as they saw Chief Secretary Lee Eunju approaching with a stern face. The moment Eunseok saw Chief Secretary Lee Eunju’s face, he had a very ominous feeling.
“Guide Lee.”
Chief Secretary Lee Eunju called for Eunseok directly.
“Did something happen to Choi Hanseo?”
Eunseok voiced his ominous premonition. Chief Secretary Lee Eunju hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“The Guild Master’s helicopter exploded in mid-air while he was returning after finishing his work in Jeju Island.”
The team members standing nearby could be heard taking sharp breaths. Eunseok stared at Chief Secretary Lee Eunju’s mouth without blinking, even holding his breath.
