"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,

"Alright everyone, it's a brand new day." Commander Moon, the man who led our squadron, stood on top of a small hill overlooking the camp. Everyone else gave him their undivided attention while packing up the tents or preparing breakfast. It wasn't until he made eye contact with me that I realized he'd called me up there too."Seojin, I wanted to talk to you about something that happened last night."Damnit!Did that Luna chick say anything bad about me?I mean, she did call me names when she got mad at me, but I could still remember some of her words. I couldn't believe she might actually paint me as a pervert..."I was told that Mr. Lee might pose a danger to you."Hmmm?I turned my eyes up to the commander and waited for him to continue."A lady said you two shared a special moment yesterday, and she said that you two were close friends since you joined the Guild. She also mentioned how she didn't want to see you go through any unnecessary pain."I knew it! A twist to the story. We

It's a tough decision, but I guess the best choice would be to accept his challenge..."Be careful next time, won't you?" I said, grinning at him."What...?!" He shrieked, completely taken aback."You're the ones who came here to cause trouble, aren't you? I just wanted to make sure we understood each other," I announced, turning away from him before continuing. "Anyway, what are the rules of this duel?" I asked, turning back to Dohyun."We can't use our ability, obviously. We're fighting with our hands and feet; no weapons either," he answered immediately.So that means I need to take advantage of my stats and skills to win, huh? I think I'll have to focus on my stat growth for a while after this."Alrighty, shall we get this party started?" I said, cracking my knuckles and getting ready to fight."I agree. Let's start off easy, and if this doesn't work out, we can always increase the difficulty from there." He agreed with a nod, his expression changing to one of determination."Hm,

Dohyun stretched out a hand towards me, his fingers curled slightly. I had no intention of letting him win this match. I was fast enough to dodge his attack, but I wanted to see if he could run faster than me."Come on, hurry up and make your move," he said arrogantly.I don't need to rush. I haven't lost yet. Wait until I'm ready before you try something stupid."Hahaha, you're just scared that I'll beat you, aren't you? If you want to lose, then go ahead and come at me. I won't hold back."So he was trying to bait me into attacking. Well, I wouldn't fall for such cheap tricks."As you wish. You're not going to be able to escape my grasp, anyway.""And why not?""Because you're slow. So unless you have some sort of secret technique to help you run faster... Then you're dead meat.""Good luck finding it, then."We both formed fists and exchanged smiles. I knew he was bluffing, but the way he'd said those words made me feel like he really meant it.I jumped forward and pushed with all

"You'll see!" Hye Jin giggled mischievously."Oh... kay? Sometimes I miss Soo Min's ability; we could be at our destination at the tip of her fingers." I sighed."Don't worry, there's something a lot more interesting than that." She winked playfully. "And besides, I have my own abilities too!""Right, fire manipulation." I replied, "What do you plan to do with that? Burn your way through the street? Or maybe you're planning to burn down the city?""That'd be bad, wouldn't it?" Her mouth twisted into a smile as she looked up at the sky."Well, thankfully, we still have this method of transportation." I waved my hand to call a cab.*****Looking above and at the signboard that read "H&G Restaurant" made me feel nervous. The restaurant was located right next to the train station, so it wasn't hard to find. All the tables were occupied and there were a few people standing in line waiting to order. It was already past six o'clock in the evening; most of the customers here were probably s

"You're spoiling the mood," I whispered, making him laugh.He let out a chuckle and then said, "Well, I don't know what to order, so I guess I'll just get the most expensive thing on the menu, hmmm... Let's see..." He narrowed his eyes and then said, "How about I go with this?" He pointed at a steak called 'Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin Steak'?I looked at the price of the Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin Steak—1,800,000 won. I gulped and nodded."Yeah, that sounds good," I said, forcing a smile.His eyes widened, and he gave me a look that made me feel embarrassed. "Don't tell me the rich and lovable Seojin can't afford such a meal that costs more than the average person makes in a year." His tone was mocking."No, I can definitely afford it. You don't have to worry about that," I said, trying to sound confident.My money!!! Damn!Sigh!Not that I had what I spend money on anyway, so no worries."Soo, what would you like to get for yourself?" Minseok asked again, still smirking at me."Uh

We left our table and went over to the corner where there weren't many people. The place wasn't very big, and there were only two tables by the wall.As soon as we sat down, Minseok opened the wine bottle and poured a small amount into a glass."A toast, then?" he asked, raising his glass."Is there something I'm supposed to know? Like, why you didn't want me to drink?" I asked quietly."Well, one thing I'll say is that it reacts with an Esper's powers, so if you drink enough of it, you'll probably lose control of your reasoning. It won't kill you, but it will make you hyperactive and in some extreme cases, it might induce your arousal.""And that's why you wouldn't let me have more of it?""Right, because I'd prefer you not to get carried away. You can have as much as you want later tonight, but—""But you wanted me to enjoy myself, right?" I cut him off.There was a pause before he answered."Yes, I did.""How nice of you."I felt a smile stretching across my lips."If it were other

Guide Me, Claim Me 132 ~ Don't Lose Focus (II)
The air was thick with tension, each breath I took feeling heavy as the creature staggered, its form flickering like a dying flame. My mind buzzed, trying to piece together what we had just faced—what we were up against. The Veil was not a simple opponent, not some fleeting threat we could easily brush aside. It was relentless, and it seemed to find new ways to push us to our limits. The creature’s howls echoed in the stillness, but as I looked at it, I realized something even more unnerving. Its body wasn’t just crumbling. It was unraveling. There was something inside it, something far more dangerous than any physical form."Minseok," I whispered, my voice trembling despite myself. "It’s not just a monster, is it? It’s... something more."Minseok’s eyes never left the creature. He was steady, even in the face of the chaos around us. I could see his mind working, always thinking ahead. He was calculating, strategizing, even now, as the creature’s remnants crumbled into the dust of th
Guide Me, Claim Me 131 ~ Don't Lose Focus (I)
The figure before us—this shadowy creature—loomed like a specter in the midst of the darkened forest. My heart hammered in my chest, every beat a reminder that this wasn’t just some mind game. The air crackled with a palpable tension as if the very atmosphere had turned against us.I could feel the heat of Minseok's presence at my side, his hand gripping mine like an anchor in the storm. But it wasn't enough. The pressure was suffocating, and this time, I couldn’t wait for him to act.I could feel it—the surge of energy that always came when I was backed into a corner. The sensation was familiar now, this hum that resonated deep within me. My mind raced, calculating the best course of action, even as fear clawed at the back of my throat. Minseok’s voice broke through the rush of thoughts. "Seojin, stay calm. We’re not alone in this. Whatever happens, don’t lose focus."I swallowed hard, nodding without taking my eyes off the creature in front of us. The figure’s dark, featureless fac
Guide Me, Claim Me 130 ~ Safe House (II)
The man’s departure left an odd silence in the air, one that hummed with the tension of uncertainty. We stood at the edge of the safe house, the stone walls half-covered in ivy, the structure itself appearing to blend in with the forest as though it had been abandoned for years. The faint hum of the wind rustling through the trees seemed louder now, as though the world itself was holding its breath.Minseok’s hand tightened around mine again, his grip steady, but there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes that I couldn’t ignore. "We need to go inside," he said, his voice low, but his usual calm demeanor was tinged with unease. "If he’s right about the Veil knowing we’re here, we might not have much time."I nodded, though the feeling in my chest didn’t subside. Every instinct screamed that something wasn’t right, that the man who’d led us here was hiding something. But I didn’t have time to question it, not now.Together, we stepped toward the small wooden door of the safe house. I
Guide Me, Claim Me 129 ~ Safe House(I)
A high-stakes confrontation awaited us. Minseok’s words echoed in my mind as we made our way toward the mountains, the early morning mist swirling around us like an omen. Despite the calm exterior we presented, both of us knew the gravity of what we were about to face. The Veil was more than a looming threat—it was a relentless force that would stop at nothing to devour everything we held dear.The forest ahead was dense, its towering trees casting long shadows across the path. The air was thick with moisture, the earthy smell of wet leaves filling my lungs with each breath. I could hear the distant call of a bird, the only sign of life in the otherwise silent wilderness. It felt like the calm before a storm, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for what was coming.Minseok’s hand was still in mine, his grip steady and strong, a silent reminder that I wasn’t alone in this. His presence was a comforting anchor, grounding me in the chaos of our mission. But as we walked, I couldn’t shake t
Guide Me, Claim Me 128 ~ We'll Do It Our Way
It was an odd sensation, walking alongside Minseok in the dim light of the underground space, his presence both a comfort and a reminder of the growing distance between us. The air felt colder, as if the basement’s chill wasn’t enough to explain the icy tension that hung between us. Every step I took felt heavy with the unspoken words we hadn’t shared. We had come here for answers, but instead, all I felt was a growing sense of dread. The path we were on, no matter how necessary, was unraveling everything we thought we knew."Seojin," Minseok murmured, breaking the silence that had settled around us. His voice was quieter than usual, almost thoughtful. "Are you sure you’re ready for this?"I paused, glancing up at him, surprised by the concern in his eyes. "I don't know," I admitted, my throat tight. "But what else can we do? We’ve already crossed the line." He didn’t respond immediately, as if weighing my words. His eyes were distant, like he was searching for something in the flick
Guide Me, Claim Me 127 ~ No Turning Back Now
The morning stretched out before me like a long road I wasn’t sure I was ready to walk. Minseok’s presence beside me felt distant, as if a rift had silently formed overnight, pulling us apart. I had no idea how to bridge the silence, especially when I was unsure of how I felt myself. The tension was thick enough to choke on. I had spent so many nights trying to convince myself this wasn’t real—that what Minji had said, what we were facing, couldn’t be the truth. But reality had a way of catching up, no matter how fast you ran.As we walked through the familiar streets, I couldn’t shake the feeling that things weren’t the same anymore. The world, the city, even the air felt different. It was as if everything was holding its breath, waiting for something inevitable to happen. And I couldn’t decide if I was prepared for it or terrified. The silence between Minseok and me felt suffocating, but I didn’t know how to break it. What was I supposed to say? That I was worried? That I didn’t kn
Guide Me, Claim Me 126 ~ Unveiling the Veil
The next morning, the city felt unnaturally quiet, as if it had held its breath overnight, waiting for something to shift. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows on the streets, and I could almost hear the echo of our footsteps from the night before. But today, I wasn’t sure if we were walking toward an answer or deeper into the darkness.Minseok and I had barely exchanged a word since Eunji’s visit. He was quiet, too quiet. His usual confidence was overshadowed by the weight of the previous night's events. As we moved through the bustling streets, the usual vibrancy of the city seemed muted, like the sound had been turned down. People hurried on, heads down, trying to avoid the tension that hung in the air.We reached the outskirts of the district, where the more rundown buildings stood, their walls cracked and weathered. The contrast between the gleaming upper levels of the city and the poverty-stricken lower districts was always jarring, but today it felt like a stark re
Guide Me, Claim Me 125 ~ Between Duty and Loyalty
The air in the council chambers felt thick, like the weight of unseen expectations pressing against my lungs. Golden light filtered through the high-arched windows, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors. The room, usually a place of cold, calculating decisions, now carried an edge of something else. **Uncertainty.** I sat beside Minseok, my posture deceptively relaxed, though my fingers remained curled against my lap. Across the table, Grand Esper Hwang’s sharp gaze raked over me before settling on Minseok. His disapproval was practically tangible. “The situation is escalating,” he said, his voice measured. “We’ve received word that a faction of Guides is rallying under an unknown leader. They demand reformation—an equal footing with Espers.” I scoffed, leaning back. “Reformation? More like a coup.” Minseok’s fingers tapped lightly against the table, his face unreadable. “How credible is this threat?” Hwang’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Credible enough t
Guide Me, Claim Me 124 ~ Who Shouldn't Exist
I could barely hear myself breathe over the chaos. The clash of weapons, the crackle of energy, the heavy thuds of bodies hitting the ground—it all blurred together in a cacophony of battle. Every strike I blocked sent vibrations up my arms. Every counter I made was met with resistance. Minseok was right. If we tried to run now, we’d be slaughtered. But if we stayed— I dodged a spear aimed for my gut, twisting to the side before driving my own blade into the enemy’s exposed flank. They barely reacted, as if pain was irrelevant to them. As if they were something beyond human. Which meant they were exactly what I feared. Corrupted. Not just the mindless ones, either. These were the intelligent kind, the ones who still held onto fragments of their former selves. The ones who could strategize. Who could anticipate. Who could corner us if we weren’t careful. I gritted my teeth. We needed to break through. “Soo Min!” I shouted over the chaos. “Do you have enough energy l
