As he lay still, the scene from his recent dream vividly came back to life.
Eunseok’s muffled moans and the movement of his hips. His face as he reached climax. The red tongue licking up his own semen. His slightly flushed face with the lingering afterglow of orgasm, and his eyes filled with a lustful light…
Suddenly, his throat went dry. Without realizing it, Choi Hanseo slipped his hand into his wet underwear. He grabbed his slightly erect dick and began to stroke it. In front of Choi Hanseo’s eyes, Eunseok’s face flickered, and his moans continuously rang in his ears.
Just imagining Eunseok’s face and moans from the dream was enough to bring him to climax embarrassingly quickly. Choi Hanseo reached his peak while imagining spraying his semen on Eunseok’s face. His underwear, already wet from the wet dream, became completely soaked.
“Ha-.”
Choi Hanseo looked down at his ruined underwear and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
After showering and preparing for work, Choi Hanseo stood in front of the mirror and stared at his face for a moment. For someone who had masturbated to thoughts of a guild member first thing in the morning, he looked remarkably normal.
“Sexual frustration, perhaps…”
Choi Hanseo defined his condition as such. Otherwise, there was no reason for someone his age to have a wet dream.
After arriving at his office, Choi Hanseo leaned back in his chair and absent-mindedly kept replaying the dream Eunseok in his mind. Despite being a dream, it felt as vivid as reality.
Could it possibly have been a real event, not just a dream?
Suddenly, that thought occurred to him.
Come to think of it, there was a good chance of that. Since he had apparently experienced insertion guiding with Eunseok, it could have been a resurfacing of past memories. However…
Choi Hanseo recalled the insertion guiding he had done with Eunseok after waking up with memory loss recently. At that time, Eunseok had his eyes tightly shut, enduring until the forced insertion guiding was over.
But how was Eunseok in the dream? He stroked Choi Hanseo’s hair and rubbed his dick. He even responded to kisses with utmost passion. It was a completely different reaction from the insertion guiding they had done recently.
Just remembering Eunseok passionately kissing him in the dream made his stomach tighten. He felt an urge to rush into the guiding room, push Eunseok down on the bed, and have his way with him. It didn’t necessarily have to be insertion guiding. He wanted to devour Eunseok’s lips and shower him with kisses. He wanted Eunseok’s fingers to roughly tangle in and pull at his hair.
“…You’ve lost it, Choi Hanseo.”
Choi Hanseo muttered, covering his eyes with his hand.
Is it because he’s an S-class guide?
Yes. That must be it. He must be instinctively drawn to him because he’s an S-class guide, no less.
After wallowing in self-deprecation for a while, Choi Hanseo pulled himself together. He then took out his phone.
Although it wasn’t appropriate behavior for a Guild Master, he was thinking of contacting Eunseok personally. Eunseok had said his partner was missing, and even if he didn’t return, he wouldn’t date hunters. But people’s minds can always change.
As Choi Hanseo was about to search for Eunseok in his contacts, he hesitated. He had discovered a name at the very top of his contact list.
Favorites
Eunseok
Eunseok’s name, without the surname, was set as a favorite.
Choi Hanseo stared at the name saved as just “Eunseok.”
This was a new phone provided by Director Lee, as all his belongings, including his phone, had disintegrated during the accident. But she hadn’t input the contacts herself. Since the contacts were downloaded from the account, it must be an exact copy of what was on the lost phone.
Were they close enough to save just the first name?
Choi Hanseo checked his message history with Eunseok, but of course, there was no way old messages would appear on a new phone.
[How about a coffee after work today?]
Choi Hanseo typed out the message and stared at it for a moment before deleting it completely.
[Guide Lee Eunseok. Can you spare some time today?]
He wasn’t satisfied with this message either. Choi Hanseo eventually closed the message window.
If it were a relationship starting completely from scratch, he probably wouldn’t be this cautious. Had he made some mistake with Eunseok before losing his memories? Given his personality, it didn’t seem likely that he would have forced insertion guiding. But Eunseok was clearly avoiding Choi Hanseo. What could be the reason?
For the first time, Choi Hanseo felt regretful about losing his memories.
Eunseok left the guiding room and pressed the elevator call button. Since leaving the penthouse, he had been cooped up in his quarters, trying to avoid Choi Hanseo. Noticing Eunseok’s behavior, Moon Bora and Kwon Eunchae had been taking turns pestering him to at least have coffee together. Feeling awkward about constantly rejecting their invitations, Eunseok finally agreed to meet them at the cafeteria. Choi Hanseo rarely used the first-floor cafe anyway, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
The elevator doors opened. Inside was a person wearing an employee ID card around their neck.
A-class guide. Seo Beomgyu.
Height about 183 cm, average build.
Since it was a face he hadn’t seen even in passing, he must be a guide who had recently joined the guild.
Out of habit, Eunseok assessed the rank and identity of the person he would be sharing the enclosed space with before entering the elevator.
He pressed the close button, and the elevator doors shut.
“Um… Guide Lee Eunseok.”
The man called out to Eunseok from behind. Eunseok turned to face him.
He was a man with a gentle impression, brown hair, and brown eyes. He extended his hand towards Eunseok.
“Hello. I’m A-class guide Seo Beomgyu, who recently joined Baekho Guild.”
“I’m Lee Eunseok.”
Eunseok briefly stated his name and shook hands lightly with the man.
“I’ve heard a lot about Guide Lee Eunseok. Actually, I transferred to Baekho Guild because of you.”
“Ah, I see.”
Eunseok nodded slightly.
“Guide Lee Eunseok is like an idol to us guides. I look forward to working with you.”
Guide Seo Beomgyu said, looking directly at Eunseok. He seemed to want to imprint his existence on Eunseok.
“I look forward to working with you too.”
Although they probably wouldn’t have much occasion to meet, Eunseok said this as a courtesy.
The elevator stopped right on cue. Eunseok turned without hesitation and headed towards the cafeteria.
“Eunseok!”
“Eunseok oppa!”
Moon Bora and Kwon Eunchae waved their hands. Eunseok approached them with a smile.
The muscular Moon Bora and petite Kwon Eunchae, sticking close together and slurping their drinks through straws, made an unexpectedly good match. It gave off a feeling of well-matched sisters. In any case, seeing the two of them immediately improved his mood.
An iced Americano, his usual drink, was placed at Eunseok’s seat. Eunseok sipped his coffee through the straw just like the two sitting across from him.
Drinking the cool beverage made him feel a bit more at ease. Eunseok noticed Moon Bora and Kwon Eunchae glancing at his empty earlobe but pretended not to notice.
“It would be nice if you could come to the gate with us tomorrow,” Kwon Eunchae grumbled. A B-class gate conquest was scheduled for tomorrow.
“Can’t you just come with us and leave the Guild Master behind? Bora unni can protect you, right?”
“That’s right. Eunseok, you’re not the type who needs protection in the first place. Even if something tough happens, we’re here.”
Moon Bora quickly chimed in.
“That’s right. And it’s not A-class, just B-class. We’ve gone to B-class gates without the Guild Master before, so it should be fine, right?”
The two seemed to have coordinated to boost Eunseok’s spirits, who had been confined to the guiding room and his quarters. And their suggestion was quite tempting to Eunseok.
“…Should I?”
When Eunseok asked quietly, Kwon Eunchae’s eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously.
“Let’s go. Let’s go. We just need to get permission from the Guild Master, right?”
“That’s right.”
Eunseok, already intrigued, received their suggestion very positively. He felt that moving his body a bit in the gate might refresh his mind as well.
“Then, oppa. Quickly call the Guild Master and get permission.”
Kwon Eunchae urged, narrowing her eyes. A glint of scheming flashed in her eyes. She seemed to want Eunseok and Choi Hanseo to contact each other, even in this way.
“I can just ask Director Lee to pass on the message.”
Eunseok cut off Kwon Eunchae’s hope. He was already busy avoiding Choi Hanseo, so contacting him first was absolutely out of the question.
Kwon Eunchae made an openly disappointed face and nudged Moon Bora’s side with her elbow as if to say, “Do something.” Moon Bora shrugged as if to say there was nothing she could do.
Eunseok didn’t waste time and immediately called Secretary Lee Eunju.
“Yes, Guide Lee.”
“Director, I’d like to participate in the gate that the first team is conquering tomorrow. Could you get permission from the Guild Master for me?”
“The Guild Master is currently unable to participate in gate conquests. Going on a gate conquest without the Guild Master…”
“It’s not A-class, it’s B-class. We’ve conquered gates without the Guild Master before, so I don’t think there should be any problem.”
“…I’ll ask the Guild Master and get back to you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
As soon as he ended the call, Kwon Eunchae gave a thumbs up. Just as he was about to smile at her, someone suddenly approached their table.
When he looked up, Guide Seo Beomgyu, whom he had exchanged greetings with in the elevator earlier, was standing there. As all three of them turned their gazes to him, he smiled slightly awkwardly.
“I saw Guide Lee Eunseok here, so I bought these for you to try. It’s not much, but please enjoy.”
Seo Beomgyu carefully placed a tray with various breads sold at the cafe on the table.
“Oh, thank you.”
Kwon Eunchae immediately brightened up at the sight of the delicious-looking breads.
“Then, I’ll be going now.”
As if that was truly his only purpose, Seo Beomgyu nodded slightly and immediately turned to leave. As they watched Seo Beomgyu walk away, Moon Bora and Kwon Eunchae leaned forward and fired off questions in succession.
“Who’s that?”
“Who is that person?”
Their eyes seemed ready to shoot lasers at Eunseok.
“He’s an A-class guide who recently joined the guild. We just exchanged greetings in the elevator on the way down.”
Eunseok said casually as he started opening the bread packages one by one.
“He’s handsome, isn’t he?”
“Tall and totally good-looking, right?”
The two whispered, glancing at Seo Beomgyu sitting at a distant table. Then they exchanged some unreadable glances with each other.
“Hey, oppa.”
“Yeah. Have some bread.”
Eunseok pushed the opened bread package towards Kwon Eunchae, attempting to silence her. But Kwon Eunchae wasn’t so easily deterred. She picked up a piece of bread and brought it to her mouth, but still managed to say what she wanted to say.
“You’re not thinking of cheating, are you?”
Eunseok, who had been sipping his coffee, nearly choked.
