The Guide Is Fixing His Regrets

me in, looked at Tae-Woo. 

Tae-Woo’s expression was loosened a little, perhaps because he felt So-Won’s sincere apology. 

So-Won came into the room with great relief in his heart. 

The sound of the door closing was unusually loud. 

So-Won darted his eyes around the room.

So-Won was amazed after seeing Tae-Woo’s private room for the first time.

It was more like a big studio than a private room.

The sun shone in from the window that filled one side of the wall.

 There was a large well-organized bed right in front of the window, and next to it was a rugged guiding machine. 

In the middle of the room, a three-person sofa was placed facing each other with a table in between, and Tae-Woo was sitting there looking at So-Won.

“Mr.
Lee So-won.”

 “Yes?” 

So-Won, who had been relaxed for a while, answered with surprise.

“Would you like something to drink?”

“Oh…”

So-Won scanned the room and found a green tea bag on the water purifier.

“I’d like green tea, please.”

“All right.
Please sit down.”

So-Won felt awkward talking to Tae-Woo because he had never talked to him.

Tae-Woo’s low voice was also unfamiliar.

 So-Won rose from the sofa and glanced at Tae-Woo heading to the water purifier.

Short black hair with no brown color mixed with a large build. 

Even though it is summer, the body wearing black long-sleeved clothes was large, so the clothes stuck together and showed Tae-Woo’s line. 

Even though it’s summer, Tae-Woo’s body wore tight black long sleeves showing his body lines.

The skin that is uncovered by the clothes like the face and hands showed dark red veins.
There is also a thick black ring on his neck for an unknown purpose.

So-Won’s gaze on the sofa was soon fixed on Tae-Woo’s back. 

‘In my dreams, there is always a big hole there.’ So-Won thought.

So-Won can still see the hole in Tae-Woo’s back.
So-Won imagined that blood would flow out to Tae-Woo the moment he lifted up Tae-Woo’s long sleeved shirt.

So-Won’s hand trembled slightly when he recalled Tae-Woo’s death again.

He clasped his hands tightly to calm his cold hands.

Tae-Woo put the green tea bags with cool water in a paper cup and handed them to So-Won.

“Thank you.”

As soon as So-Won received the paper cup, his mouth dried up and took a sip of green tea.

 Tae-Woo sat across from So-Won and looked at him.

Tae-Woo almost thought that So-Won was not afraid of him.  So-Won seems natural behavior when facing him, but because of So-Won’s small trembling hands and evasive eyes, Tae-Woo had no choice but to admit that it was an illusion.

‘While drinking water, he felt Tae-Woo’s gaze.
He felt like he was going to have an upset stomach.
When So-Won sipped water while looking at him, half of the water in the paper cup disappeared.

 So-Won put the paper cup on the table.

“Can I give you my contact information for now?” Tae-Woo asked.

So-Won, who had completely forgotten the purpose of visiting Tae-Woo, came to his senses at Tae-Woo’s words. 

“Yes, you can.” 

So-Won nodded, feeling ashamed for no reason.

Tae-Woo rose from his seat again and brought something from the desk and handed it over to So-Won.

When he accepted the small piece of paper, the first thing he saw was Kang Tae-Woo and three characters.

“There was a business card, too…”

So-Won muttered to himself. 

For eight years as Tae-Woo’s guide, So-Won didn’t even know Tae-Woo’s phone number or business card. 

So-Won was holding a piece of paper and couldn’t take his eyes off of it.

So-Won looked at the business card with the momentum to memorize the phone number, but he was afraid that he might lose it  so he immediately input it.

He took it and saved his number.

So-Won’s thin fingers moved busily to store Tae-Woo’s number. 

Tae-Woo stared silently at So-Won.

 As expected, whenever So-Won was nearby, Tae-Woo’s body was in good condition as if he had attached a guiding machine.

 The warm energy that felt soft was strange but not unpleasant.

“I, and… .” 

So-Won’s round eyes looked at Tae-Woo and looked into his eyes.

 He hesitated to speak with his small hands twitching. 

“Because of the Mandatory Guide System, we have to live together.
There is also a state-funded dormitory, but I don’t like it.”

Was there such a provision? 

Come to think of it, other S-classes seemed to live with their guides. 

The image of living with So-Won came to Tae-Woo’s mind for a moment. 

A dedicated guide that welcomes him when he enter the house, and a guide that he can feel without having to attach a guiding machine.
It’s not bad

‘Your guide must be unhappy.’ He remembered what another esper had told him.

But why do the other Esper’s words come to Tae-Woo’s mind? 

At the same time, Tae-Woo remembered the life of a guide who lived in the same house as him and became unhappy. 

On the day he comes back from the gate, Tae-Woo will enter the house looking more terrible than usual.

After using the ability, the blood vessels that cover the body wriggle and become several times more sensitive than usual. 

If he accidentally touch the guide in a situation where he can’t control his power properly, his guide might be seriously injured.

Will this guide be able to withstand staying in a place with a monster?
