Tae-Woo brought a glass and poured some drinks into it. The light green liquid fluttered on the glass. The amount was so small that he thought this was comparable to their relationship. However, he didn’t care much because he would taste it anyway.

So-Won smelled it as soon as he received it. It was almost unscented, but it also seemed to have a faint lemon scent. It doesn’t look carbonated.

“But I can drink this, right?”

“A little bit will do.”

Is it okay for the guide to drink specially made drinks? So-Won asked because he was a little worried, but when he heard Tae-Woo’s answer, So-Won felt relieved.

“Uh…”

So-Won’s face was greatly distorted. He almost spits it out right away because it feels like burning his tongue.

He barely swallowed what was in his mouth and coughed. So-Won’s throat was burning after he drank the lukewarm liquid. He swallowed it first, conscious of Tae-Woo’s gaze, but the shock did not go away quickly. Tae-Woo is looking at him, so he pretends to be okay.

“This isn’t a wine, is it?”

“Yes, it is not.”

“But what….”

It looks like liquor.

He was surprised as soon as he drank it. What’s in it? It tastes like this. He even felt like his face was heating up. So-Won only tasted it because I was curious, but he felt the word that curiosity kills people. So-Won vowed never to drink again. Then he remembered Tae-Woo drinking bottles of this.

Tae-Woo, how many bottles of this… So-Won glanced at the empty bottles rolling on the floor. Although it’s only for espers, Tae-Woo won’t think it’s good either.

“…….”

After the brief disturbance, silence fell again.

The awkward atmosphere was uncomfortable, so So-Won lifted his glass. When he moistened his lips, he felt a strong taste that he could not get used to, making him forget the uncomfortable air for a while. There was still nothing to say to Tae-Woo, and whenever the quiet atmosphere felt awkward, So-Won sipped his drink.

So-Won heard it relaxes muscles, but is it because of that or because of unknown ingredients? He woke up a long time ago, but his drowsiness returned.

The light green liquid in the transparent glass quickly bottomed out because the amount was not so large from the beginning. So-Won glanced at Tae-Woo sitting next to him, letting the last sip flow into his mouth.

Sitting alone in a quiet space with Tae-Woo was unimaginable in the past. Eight years ago, So-Won was afraid when he faced him, and Tae-Woo avoided him repeatedly. Since then, he only met him within the association.

When he regressed, he built a relationship enough for them to sit side by side, but recently, So-Won has been a little concerned about the distant relationship. He was also worried they might return to their original awkward relationship if this continued.

So-Won stared at the floor with dark eyes. Although he vowed to do his best as his guide again, So-Won made many mistakes even after regressing. Even recently, due to his carelessness, Tae-Woo’s image has deteriorated even further.

Nevertheless, Tae-Woo did not show any signs of discomfort. He must have been busy these days, but even if he was late, he always came home and let him sleep on his bed. Even if So-Won overslept, he waited without saying anything, and he always cared for So-Won by listening to unreasonable requests.

“…….”

So-Won silently fiddled with the empty glass.

As he got closer to Tae-Woo, he continued to worry about what had happened. He was the only one running away, leaving him alone on the cold operating table. Until the moment he died, he couldn’t even guide him properly, and only So-Won returned to the past alone. He deserves to be punished, but someone gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

It always occurred to him. So-Won wishes he’d come back with him. He hopes to meet Tae-Woo and live a proper life this time.

However, if Tae-Woo regressed, would he even want to see So-Won? A guide who did not guide properly and caused him to suffer.

“Tae-Woo, if, if.”

So-Won brought up the idea that he had kept in his heart alone.

“If Tae-Woo dies because of me… Tae-Woo, would you blame me?”

After asking, he lowered his head because he was afraid to hear an answer. His pathetic face seemed to reflect in the glass he clasped tightly with both hands.

So-Won could feel Tae-Woo staring at him when he asked a sudden question. But So-Won couldn’t look at him. Tears were about to leak out the moment he saw him because of the guilt that weighed on his chest.

So-Won thought he wouldn’t answer. The question asked by So-Won was really weird. As expected, he had yet to hear a single answer. So-Won finally tried to apologize to him for saying something weird.

“I can’t imagine it well, but I’ll be worried about you.”

Just as So-Won was about to open his mouth, Tae-Woo broke the silence and gave an answer. In response to the unexpected answer, So-Won was embarrassed by the unexpected content and asked.

“Why?”

“I thought so because you might feel guilty about my death.”

“Ha, but even though you died because of me?”

So-Won asked once again, but Tae-Woo’s answer was firm.

“If I die, it will not be Lee So-won’s fault but because I am weak.”

When So-Won heard the answer, he chuckled. But soon, he stopped laughing and soon began to cry.

“What is that….”

It’s because he is calling the strongest esper weak.

The view was blurred. Tae-Woo said to be happy, but did he say that because he was worried about So-Won while you were dying? Of course, it may not be. He had done a terrible thing that deserves to be blamed. However, if it’s the Tae-woo he knew, he would mean it, which made his heart ache.

Tears welled up and eventually flowed down his face. Tae-Woo pondered for a moment before he pulled him for a hug.

It’s as if he is touching something precious that gets broken easily when touched.

“Tae-Woo…”

So-Won liked Tae-Woo’s wide and warm arms. He liked the tenderness of the arms that firmly supported his precarious self, even though he was blunt.

“Tell me more.”

So-Won only knew him a little, even though he spent eight years as his guide.

“Well, I want to know more about Tae-Woo.”

So-Won wanted to get to know him more about what he was thinking and watching. If he knew more about him from now on, he thought he would understand what he meant by what he said. He wants to see if he blames him or if he is afraid of dying.

So-Won wants to be his guide one more time.

When So-Won raised his head after talking, his eyes met Tae-woo, looking down at him with a complex expression. Suddenly his eyes caught sight of his lips.

So-Won gently closed his eyes and pressed her lips to them. He could feel Tae-Woo startled. However, the stiff body gradually lost strength as So-Won kissed lightly. Soon after, Tae-Woo began to accept So-Won’s timid kiss.

“Uh-huh…”

It wasn’t as rough and violent a kiss as the first time he kissed him. A kiss that tickles your heart with a careful and gentle response. Whenever the lips touched slightly fell, a moist sound came out.

He continued. Feeling as if he were one with him, So-Won accepted with his whole body that Tae-Woo was alive. Tae-Woo’s arm swept So-Won’s back. Before he knew it, So-Won was able to find himself on his leg and settled down.

“Sigh…. Tae-Woo…”.”

The tongue was gently entangled, and So-Won carefully licked it. It was hot and wet, but the moist texture was insanely strange. But he didn’t hate it. Instead, he wanted to touch it more because he felt a cautious movement.

“Huh…?

Suddenly he felt something underneath. When So-Won appeared conscious of it, Tae-woo pushed him away with difficulty.

“I’m sorry. This is….”

So-Won felt like he is not in his right mind. It was because even though he knew what it was, he was not disgusted or offended; instead, his body was getting hotter.
