Guide Me, Claim Me 13 ~ A Fight For His Guide
"Some Espers are fighting each other right now. You should go help," Minseok told me bluntly, still looking sternly at me."Help?" I repeated it in shock. "There's a fight going on outside the premises? What kind of place is this? Is this some kind of karate dojo?" I asked, raising my eyebrows."No. It's a fight between Espers. And you know what happens when two or more Espers start fighting, right?" Minseok stated matter-of-factly."What?" I gaped at him again. "But... You're sure they aren't training or sparring or something?" I tried desperately to remember what might have happened."Well, It's because of me. They sort of were dueling to have me as their Guide," Minseok answered simply, shrugging his shoulders.My jaw dropped open in utter disbelief. "Wait, seriously!? Are you serious!?" I shrieked, completely taken aback."Yup. That's how it is," he confirmed flatly, giving me a look that said clearly, Don't bother asking questions, because I won't tell you and you wouldn't unders

He'd known I didn't want him since the moment we met, so why would he think that suddenly changing my mind now would change anything? Maybe he thought I would start liking him because I couldn't say no. Or perhaps he thought it was only natural that someone as beautiful and powerful as him should attract Esper's attention. After all, I had been staring at him since the moment we met. And when he touched me... well, I guess he got a taste of how much I despised him at first, but the uncertainty was still there; Dr. Yoona could see through it easily enough. So why did he keep trying? Why did he insist that I'd want him? Did he truly believe I liked being around him or did he simply enjoy torturing himself?I glanced over to him, meeting his gaze. Our eyes locked for a moment, and then he turned his head away, breaking eye contact.I sighed quietly. He knew full well that he was at a loss for words for the first time, but before he could speak, we heard a crash.Boom!A deafening explo

Then I moved. I didn't have time to explain why. I just needed to act fast.As soon as the monsters reached the threshold of the building, I used my telekinesis to block them from escaping.One.Two..Three...I counted the monsters as they tried to break through the windows. I couldn't help but laugh. It reminded me of my days as a kid.I'd always love watching monster movies with my dad. We'd watch them over and over again until we knew every line by heart.Monsters are scary. I know. They're supposed to be scary.But I loved monsters. I was fascinated by them. I wanted to meet them, even if I knew they'd kill me in a heartbeat.Here they were in the worst possible place they could find themselves and with me."Hahahaha! You think you'll get away after killing innocent people?" I mocked.They wouldn't dare. And yet, here they were. Right in front of me.What did I expect them to do?How many times had I wanted to kill them? To rip them apart limb from limb? How many times had I wish

The monster looked up at me with frightened eyes, its mouth open wide.And I wasn't surprised by how much it resembled the monsters who attacked me during my first year of training. They had a similar look to them."I need answers."I stepped forward, slowly approaching the monster."Why did you attack us? Why was this place a target? Why did you set your sights on us?"I looked above, realizing that the drone had been destroyed by the monster.This was even better than I had hoped. I had never seen a monster so afraid of a human being before."You will be the main course today," I told it in a low voice. "I'm sure you've never spoken to a human like this before, haven't you? You probably don't know what to do or say now that we're talking."The monster shook its head."First of all, you should apologize for attacking me. This is the least you can do."The monster whimpered quietly, looking down at the ground."Next, you need to start thinking about why you are attacking humans. Why d

"Haah, haaah..." My exhausted body trembled from the pain.Heaviness filled my head like a lead ball, and I shook my head as hard as I could to dispel it.It's over..."Now who said that your examination is over?" Miss Hae-won glared at me. "Do you know how much work you've caused us?""Sorry!"I quickly knelt, trying to placate her. She held up her hand, shaking her head."No, you should thank me. You would be lying here dead if I hadn't come to check on you," she said gently before standing up.Her beautiful face looked pained, probably because of the headache she got from using her tablet computer too much.She adjusted the rim of her glasses, her brown eyes focused on my every move."Miss Hae-won, I said I was fine! I don't need all these checkups!"The last few days had been really rough.Since the attack on Headquarters, everyone has been on high alert. We were forced to stay at the dorms around the clock, which meant no training and little exercising. The only exception was dur

My eyes shifted upward slightly to find a petite form with long dyed blue hair. Her expression was gentle, but it was hard to tell because her lips were curved in a wicked grin. She wore a black dress that barely covered her thighs, and her skin was pale enough to look white despite the darkness of the night."Who are you?" I asked."Mmm...you really don't remember me, do you? My name is Luna. We met several years ago when you just joined.""No, I mean, who the hell are you?!"Her gaze narrowed slightly. "Oh, did I scare you? Well, it looks like I've caught you at a terrible time. Why don't we get to know each other better?"She pulled me closer by the arm and was about to kiss me.I slid right out of bed. The abrupt movement made me lose balance and fall to the floor."Ow!""Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was hurting your feelings by kissing you," said Luna as she brushed off the dust on her dress."You're the last person I want to see right now," I replied, sitting up.Luna blink

"I'm not in the mood for games.""You're not playing. We both know that. However, you need to understand that you will never receive the answers you seek unless you give yourself up to the process.""I don't care. Go away!""You're not being honest with me. I know you've been through some rough times because of him, but you still haven't accepted the fact about your sexuality. But the moment you start accepting it, you will become aware of how wonderful this feeling is.""Who cares about that?!""Everything is connected to everything else. Everything you feel today is influenced by the past events that shaped your feelings. Therefore, we should try to resolve these things first before moving on to the other matters.""I don't need your help! Kindly leave my dormitory if you value your life!""If I leave, you won't move forward. Only when you overcome this hurdle will you be able to progress to the next step.""Are you out of your mind?! I am NOT going to do this shit!" I shouted, glar

He didn't answer right away. Instead, he sighed and looked at the floor. This was the first time I'd seen him doing that. Usually, he was the type to never show weakness and to always be mischievous. I guess he couldn't hide it from me."Well, it's been bothering me for a while now..." he finally said."And what's that?" I asked.Minseok walked over to the window and gazed outside."So you know... I am not like most people," he started. "I'm not a full-blooded Korean—""Pfft, tell me about it." I cut him off. "Your looks are a walking stereotype of 'I'm not just a Korean', not to mention your accent.""Yes, well... that's because I'm half Russian." He looked back at me. "My mother is Russian, and my father is Korean. They met while my father was working in Russia, fell in love, and decided to get married.""Ohh..." I nodded. "That makes sense.""I had lived in Russia for the majority of my childhood until I became a Guide," Minseok went on. "Then suddenly, everything changed. One day,

Guide Me, Claim Me 88 ~ Winning streak
The compound’s alarm blared the next day, jolting me from a restless sleep. A breach. I rushed to the command center, finding Commander Moon and Dr. Yoona already there. “It’s a group of corrupted Espers,” Commander Moon said grimly. “They’ve broken through the outer defenses.” My heart sank. Corrupted Espers were rare but deadly, their minds twisted and their powers amplified by the same darkness I was fighting. The team mobilized quickly, engaging the intruders near the compound’s perimeter. The battle was chaotic, the corrupted Espers fighting with reckless abandon. I joined the fray, my energy flaring uncontrollably. “Seojin, focus!” Minseok’s voice rang out, anchoring me briefly. But the corruption was too strong. My attacks became wild, destructive, and I could see the fear in my teammates’ eyes. When the battle finally ended, the compound was in shambles. The corrupted Espers were defeated, but the damage was done. The team avoided my gaze, their unease palpable. --- Tha

The room fell into a stunned silence, Jiho’s words slicing through the tension like a blade. Everyone froze, their eyes snapping to him. He didn’t look frightened, but there was an eerie calm in his expression, a stillness that sent shivers down my spine. “What do you mean, Jiho?” Minseok asked, his voice steady but strained. Jiho raised his gaze to meet ours, his dark eyes holding an unshakable certainty. “It’s here. The corruption—it’s close.” For a moment, nobody moved. Then Minseok sprang into action, issuing commands with the efficiency of a seasoned leader. “Na Ri, secure the perimeter. Hye Jin, monitor any energy spikes. Soo Min, take Jiho somewhere safe. We can’t risk—” “No.” Jiho’s voice was firm, louder than I’d ever heard it. Everyone turned to him in surprise. “You can’t hide me. If you do, it’ll find another way in. It always does.” “What are you talking about?” I asked, stepping closer. “How do you know this?” Jiho hesitated, as if searching for the right wor
Guide Me, Claim Me 86 ~ You Have To Survive
The moment the figure's voice echoed again, I felt an odd pull deep within me, like a thread being tugged at the core of my being. Minseok tightened his grip on my arm, his sharp gaze scanning the vast expanse of blackened earth around us. “Seojin, whatever it’s saying, don’t listen,” he said firmly, his voice unwavering. “We’ll figure this out. Together.”I nodded, though the pull was almost irresistible. The figure remained still, its featureless head tilted slightly, as if it was waiting for something. The oppressive sky above seemed to churn with energy, and for a brief moment, I wondered if this was the end. But then, a thought struck me—if this was the end, why did it feel so... familiar?Minseok's voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. “Do you recognize this place? It feels... off.”Before I could respond, the ground beneath us shifted. Minseok and I instinctively braced ourselves, but instead of another collapse, the blackened earth morphed, twisting and transforming. Wi
Guide Me, Claim Me 85 ~ Just You Wait!
The air inside the hive felt heavy, saturated with the smell of rot and an unsettling sweetness. Every breath was a struggle, as if the very atmosphere wanted to choke us. The dim glow of our lanterns barely pushed back the oppressive darkness, and the whispers at the edge of my mind grew louder with every step we took."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 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. Could I real
Guide Me, Claim Me 83 ~ Just Up Ahead
Na Ri swiped at her neck, grimacing. "Ugh, it’s like walking into a sauna filled with mosquitos and nightmares. Why are jungle missions always the worst?" Jiho adjusted the straps of his gear, glancing at the corrupted zone ahead. "Because jungles are naturally hostile, and now they’re corrupted. Double the fun." “Cut the chatter,” Minseok said sharply, though not unkindly. His eyes scanned the dense foliage, assessing the safest route. “We don’t know how far the corruption has spread. Stay alert.” 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.
Guide Me, Claim Me 82 - Just right
The flight back to the Korean Guild HQ was meant to be uneventful. The tension of the South American mission was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and the team was uncharacteristically quiet as the jet sliced through the skies. Na Ri sat near the front, absently scrolling through her tablet. Soo Min had taken up the rear, her head leaning against the window, earphones in but no music playing. Hye Jin, ever practical, was already drafting a post-mission report on her laptop. I sat near the middle, Minseok beside me, reviewing the corrupted structure’s schematics one last time. He didn’t say much, but his quiet presence was grounding. The whispers were blessedly silent, though I had a feeling they weren’t gone for good. They were waiting. I could feel it. --- It wasn’t until we were thirty minutes from landing that Soo Min’s voice shattered the silence. “Uh... guys?” she called out, her tone hesitant and confused. Na Ri turned, raising an eyebrow. “What now?” “There’s... so
Guide Me, Claim Me 81 ~ Redo
You're telling me to stop because it makes you uncomfortable?! How could anyone find it pleasurable when they're being made to go through this?!"He shook his head and gave what I could only call a ruse smile. "It's not that I can't help. To be honest with you, I hate it. I hate this feeling. I've been through this with those in my past. I thought we were different, Seojin. But it's fine; after all, I'm the guy that's only needed when things go wrong, the one that everyone else will abandon once the problem is solved. I guess this is the price I pay for awakening as a Guide, huh? The price of becoming someone others rely on."His eyes searched mine, and for a moment, the world seemed to fade away. It was just us, standing there in the glow of the setting sun, the connection between us humming softly like a melody only we could hear."I’m glad," he said finally, his voice barely above a whisper.I reached out, brushing a strand of hair from his face. "You don’t just guide me, Minseok.
Guide Me, Claim Me 80 ~ This feels crappy
I opened my mouth to respond, but then I remembered that I was still out in the open. I took a deep breath."Hm? What is it?" Minseok asked, looking up from where he sat cross-legged."Oh. No. Nothing. Sorry."I shook my head, trying to clear away the lingering sensation from the kiss.He grinned. "Don't be sorry. Why don't we get back to work first? We can continue elsewhere.""Right."The team had scattered across the Guild when we arrived, each of us retreating to our respective spaces to decompress after the tension of the mission. The world map displayed on the wall monitor flickered as I watched the red zones of corruption pulse ominously. My mind kept racing, unable to settle on anything. The threat we faced was enormous, but what kept gnawing at me was the strange, unsettling feeling that something was off—something that hadn’t quite clicked yet.Minseok’s voice broke through my spiraling thoughts. “You’re brooding again.”I looked up to find him leaning against the doorframe
