Guide Me, Claim Me 104 ~ This Is Where I Live
The air around us seemed heavier with each passing second, as though the forest itself was pressing down on us. The swirling darkness of the abyss loomed ahead, its edges pulsating with an eerie light. Minseok tightened his grip on his weapon, his jaw set with determination. "Seojin," he said, his voice cutting through the oppressive silence, "whatever this thing is, it feeds on our fears. It wants us to falter."I nodded, my knuckles whitening around the hilt of my blade. "Then we give it nothing."The ground beneath us trembled as we stepped closer to the edge of the abyss. Tendrils of shadow reached out, writhing and twisting as if alive. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to run, but I forced myself to stay rooted. We had no other option. This was our only way forward.Minseok moved first, his movements fluid and precise as he slashed at the creeping shadows. They recoiled with a hiss, retreating momentarily before surging forward again, more aggressive than before. I followe
Last Updated : 2025-01-09Guide Me, Claim Me 1~ My Guide's A Male?
Espers... Guides... What are they? I'm not sure how much I should talk about this topic. My name is Han Seojin. It would probably be best if I didn't say anything at all. But here we go. Let me start from the beginning. Twenty years ago, back when I was still seven and living with my parents, I had a pretty rough time of it after an event that scarred my innocence. I don't want to go over details right now; safe to say, it made me lose trust in males and the world around me. This wasn't a problem unique to everyone; no one would ever want such an experience. The difference between me and most people is that I got help and love to overcome most of my trauma. And not just from my family but from the neighborhood as well. Everything had been a little rosy up until a gate opened somewhere in Seoul and a huge number of monsters poured out. It was all over the news, so it seemed weird to have gone unnoticed, but no one could explain where they'd come from or why they were

"Yes," Dr. Yoona nodded firmly. "The best match for you, Seojin. He understands your kind and knows everything there is to know about you. Even though he's new here, he's also an S-rank Guide. He has the power to take on any Esper. More importantly, he's one of you." It wasn't clear to me why she needed to say all these things. In fact, it felt like a waste of time. "I told you, I don't want a Guide! Fuck this! Not a male!" I yelled, pushing Dr. Yoona's hands away from mine. "No way am I letting some guy get close to me. No fucking way!" But Dr. Yoona didn't budge. "Minseok is waiting outside. Please let me introduce him to you. You won't regret this, I promise. His power is remarkable. I've never seen anyone with so many skills, strong pheromones, and techniques at his disposal before. This is your chance to live your life to the fullest. Why would you refuse him?" "Because I'm not interested in becoming your pawn, Dr. Yoona," I snarled. "Don't be silly," she replied. "A p
Last Updated : 2024-10-25Guide Me, Claim Me 3 ~ Some Chemistry Going On
Minseok leaned closer to me to whisper, "Don't worry, I know you're not gay. I can smell it on you." "Please shut up! And stop looking at me with those creepy eyes of yours! It's freaking me out! Stop staring at me!" "Well, well. Are you getting angry now?" He teased. "Get away from me!" I tried to shove him, but he grabbed me, keeping me still. The room was too small for both of us, and I struggled against his hold. But for some reason his touch made my skin tingle, and I couldn't bring myself to push him away. "Stop touching me!" "Why are you getting so upset? We haven't done anything yet, right? Maybe you should calm down and listen to what I have to say..." He pulled my body closer, trapping me between his arms, and he looked at me with those gorgeous, blue eyes... and his lips curled up into a devilish smirk. "I'm telling you I am NOT interested in doing anything with you!" "Not interested? That's a shame. I thought we had some chemistry going on here." He wa

I woke up the following morning with a splitting headache. I groaned and lifted my head off the pillow, staring at the ceiling for a moment before I glanced across the bed and noticed I was alone. I realized that I had managed to walk back to my apartment before falling asleep. At least I'll be able to rest easy today. I slowly climbed out of bed and stretched, trying to move as little as possible. I slipped on a pair of boxers and a shirt before heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. I threw some eggs into a pan and scrambled them while I went over my daily schedule in my mind. After finishing breakfast and taking a bath, I quickly grabbed my backpack from the closet. Today, I'd be returning to our facility, which is also known as humanity's last defense, Guild Headquarters. I opened the front door and walked outside. The sun was shining bright overhead, and I could smell the faint scent of flowers coming from somewhere nearby. I didn't know where, but it reminded me of h
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Guide Me, Claim Me 5 ~ Why Do You Think You're Attracted To Me?
"What does that mean?" I asked, confused.He smiled mischievously, his voice low and sensual. "It means I'm attracted to you," he whispered.My heart skipped several beats. I swallowed hard."Attracted to me?" I repeated stupidly, unable to process what he'd just said."Didn't think I would be, did you?" he said.I shook my head. "It's your guiding instincts that are talking; you can't be remotely attracted to someone who you just met and doesn't see the need for the arrangement he's forced into.""No, it's not." He grinned, and then his expression turned serious. "I'm not going to take advantage of you, Seojin. Not like you're thinking.""That was what I had heard the last time I was—" I paused, swallowing hard. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It's not important."I caught sight of his eyes narrow in suspicion, and I averted his gaze."Are you sure? Because it sounded pretty important." His voice was soft, and he sounded amused.I glanced up at him. "Tell me the true reason why y

"Where do you think you're going?" His eyes glowed dangerously as he watched me. "You should stay here for the next few hours until your corruption subsides or I'll make it a lot faster and less painful for you by aiding you." I stared right into his face, trying to keep my composure. "I'm fine!" I replied immediately, trying to avoid eye contact with him. He continued staring at me, unshaken by my response. "There are things that we should talk about. Things that you need to know if you want to live your life to its fullest potential." I glanced at him cautiously. What did he mean by that? What sort of things? I knew that I had to listen to him; he was a rare rank just like I was and Guides were naturally adept at reading people. But I couldn't tell what he was thinking. His expression remained blank, and the only thing I could feel emanating from him was pure rage at my defiance, even with the state I was in. The last thing I wanted right now was to get angry back
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Guide Me, Claim Me 7 ~ If He's With You, I'll Feel Safe
To be honest, I hadn't planned on doing this. This was the first time I'd ever allowed myself to be guided. I wanted to try seeing things from another perspective. I needed to learn about the inner workings of this man and how I could see how far he could go to guide me.This time it wasn't an Esper that'll be controlled by a Guide. It would be me."I had lost control a little and I had to do something about it before I completely lost myself."Dr. Yoona walked to Minseok, giving him a hug from behind. "Thank you. You've helped me save Seojin's life!"Minseok smiled and replied, "You're welcome. I can tell you care a lot for him, so I'm glad I could return some of what you have given him.""That's not true!" Dr. Yoona said, wiping her face with the back of her hands. "I don't think I'll be able to thank you enough for finally breaking through his tough shell. Thank you, Minseok."He bowed his head slightly. "No, no, your gratitude is unnecessary. I was only trying to help Seojin.""I

"Seojin," Minseok said quietly, his voice sharp but not unkind. "Stay focused. You're zoning out again." I clenched my jaw, shaking off the haze creeping into my thoughts. "I'm fine," I replied, though my grip on my sword tightened instinctively. His gaze lingered on me for a moment, searching, before he nodded and turned his attention back to the path ahead. The walls of the hive seemed alive, pulsating with a sickly green light that traveled along vein-like patterns embedded in the structure. It wasn’t just a visual effect—there was a rhythm to it, like a heartbeat, making the entire place feel unnervingly sentient. Jiho, walking a few steps ahead, kept glancing over his shoulder, his crossbow gripped tightly. Even Na Ri, ever the stoic, seemed tense as she carefully secured the last of the barrier nodes we were placing to secure our escape route. "This place gives me the creeps," Jiho muttered, his voice barely audible. "Like it's watching us. Waiting." "We’ve seen worse," Na
Guide Me, Claim Me 102 ~ Our Past Rewritten
The air was thick with the scent of smoke and iron as we trudged through the wasteland. The jagged landscape stretched for miles, the remnants of shattered buildings and scorched earth serving as a grim reminder of the battle we had fought just hours ago. Minseok and I walked in silence, our footsteps echoing against the hollow emptiness around us.I had thought the mission was over. We had destroyed the corrupted core, saved the village, and now we were heading back to the Guild to report our success. But the strange twist of fate had other plans in store for us. The moment we boarded the airship, an unexpected tremor rattled the hull, and the vessel shuddered violently before veering off course. We had been pulled into the heart of a storm, a phenomenon so powerful it seemed like it had come from another world entirely.We weren’t alone in the storm.I glanced at Minseok, who was monitoring the ship's controls with a focused expression. “Something’s not right,” I muttered.He looked
Guide Me, Claim Me 101 ~ Stay True
His eyes widened slightly at my reply, but he didn't push further. Instead, he held my shoulders gently, looking deep into my eyes. “Look, Seojin…” I knew what he would say before he opened his mouth. “I just need to train,” I said, pulling away from him. “That’s all.” Minseok sighed, his eyes searching mine. “You don’t have to do this alone, Seojin. Whatever it is, I can help.” I shook my head, my throat tight. “Not this time.” I paused, then added quietly, "I've got to perfect this move." "Okay," Minseok murmured. He left my side, making his way over to where the other Espers and Guides were practicing. I watched him go, unable to hide the pain and loneliness I felt. It had been nine days since our last battle against the enemy, and I still hadn't been able to master the technique. My body was so heavy; my mind was numb. The others were all moving around, chanting, and practicing their moves, while I stood there like an idiot, struggling with my own thoughts. Cou
Guide Me, Claim Me 100 ~ True to it
I woke to the sound of muffled voices and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. My head throbbed, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure where I was. The world around me was dim, shadows flickering like ghosts on the walls of the cavern. Slowly, I sat up, blinking away the dizziness. The faint scent of burnt stone lingered in the air, a reminder of the battle I had barely survived.“Seojin,” Minseok’s voice cut through the haze. He was kneeling beside me, his face pale and drawn. “Are you okay? Can you move?”I nodded, though every muscle in my body protested. “What… what happened?” My voice sounded strange to my ears, hoarse and weak.Minseok hesitated, his gaze flickering to the side. “Someone… interfered. They saved you.”“Who?” I pressed, forcing myself to stand despite the pain.Before Minseok could answer, a figure stepped out of the shadows. It was Jaehyun. His usual smirk was gone, replaced by an uncharacteristically grim expression. “You’re welcome,” he said, his tone dripping wi
Guide Me, Claim Me 99 ~ Try and Error
As we ventured deeper, the once-vibrant greens of the jungle gave way to muted, ashen tones. Trees twisted unnaturally, their bark blackened and oozing an eerie, viscous liquid. The ground beneath our boots was spongy, as though the earth itself was rotting. Then the whispers began. ] I flinched. The voice was faint but unmistakable, like a breeze brushing past my ear. I glanced at Minseok, but he was focused on his tracker. The others didn’t seem to notice either. The second whisper was stronger, more insistent. My chest tightened, but I forced myself to stay calm. I wasn’t about to let my nerves jeopardize the mission. “You okay, Seojin?” Na Ri asked, her sharp eyes catching my unease. I nodded quickly. "Fine. Just... the air feels heavy, that’s all." She didn’t look convinced but didn’t press further. --- ### The Hive After hours of navigating the corrupted jungle, we finally arrived at the heart of the hotspot. What we saw
Guide Me, Claim Me 98 ~ The Awakening Storm
I froze, the shockwaves reverberating through my body like a sudden tremor. My heart hammered in my chest, and for a brief moment, the world around me felt like it was moving in slow motion. The figure that had appeared from the shadows wasn’t just another opponent—it was something far more dangerous, something I couldn’t fully comprehend.Minseok’s voice, weak and urgent, cut through the chaos. "Seojin... Run."My body refused to obey him at first. It was as if my mind had completely shut down, caught between the desire to act and the overwhelming presence of the unknown enemy. But the sense of danger in the air was palpable. This wasn’t just a fight for victory anymore. It was a fight for survival.And yet, I didn’t move. Instead, my eyes locked onto the figure, my body paralyzed with the weight of everything that had brought me here.The enemy in front of us was cloaked in dark energy, their aura swirling like a storm, impossibly dense. The air itself seemed to crackle and hum with
Guide Me, Claim Me 97 ~ The Trial Unfolds (II)
The darkness stretched across the cavernous expanse, its oppressive weight pressing down on me. The aftermath of the mission played out in my mind like a slow-motion replay, every moment, every decision hanging in the air like a question I could never quite answer. "Seojin..." Minseok's voice was soft but firm, cutting through the haze of exhaustion and confusion. "Why did you ignore the plan?" I didn’t have an answer. The mission had gone awry, true, but we still succeeded in stopping the enemy’s primary objective. It wasn’t a total loss. But the team had taken unnecessary hits. Rita and Kimberly were injured, not severely, but enough to knock them out of action for the next few days. Their faces haunted me. "I thought the risk was worth it," I said, my voice hollow. I didn’t believe the words myself, but I had to justify it somehow. Minseok’s gaze was steady, too steady. It made my skin crawl. "Risking their lives isn’t your call to make." I winced, but the words Jaehyun ha
Guide Me, Claim Me 96 ~ The Trial Unfolds (I)
The ground cracked wide beneath me, the dark chasm yawning as if the very earth was swallowing me whole. The air grew thick with an oppressive energy, the oppressive weight of something ancient and powerful creeping up from the depths below.I stumbled back, my pulse racing. The figure that had appeared—Minseok’s brief and frantic vision—was still fresh in my mind. What did he mean by "you don't know who you're dealing with"? Why had he disappeared? I couldn’t even catch my breath before the ground trembled violently again.Something was coming.I forced myself to focus. Minseok’s voice echoed in my head. *Listen to me... you have to listen...* The chasm widened further, and the creature that began to rise from it was enormous. Its massive, scaled body twisted and coiled as it slithered upwards, its red eyes burning with malice. It looked like a serpent, but there was something distinctly humanoid about its shape. The skin shimmered with an eerie iridescence, reflecting the faint glo
