# Chapter 105
But despite Geonwoo’s calls, Jaehee couldn’t answer. His consciousness gradually blurred, and his breathing became fainter as if it would soon fade away completely.
Geonwoo grew increasingly desperate. His trembling hands grabbed Jaehee’s shirt. Soon the shirt came undone, and Geonwoo pulled Jaehee’s body into his arms. The fragile body with no strength left went limp like a doll at Geonwoo’s touch.
“…Jaehee hyung.”
Geonwoo trembled with fear as he looked at Jaehee, who seemed about to leave him at any moment. Please don’t leave me behind, he desperately kept calling Jaehee. He felt that if he didn’t call his name, his hyung would just leave.
But ultimately, no answer came. His body temperature gradually cooled.
“Hyung… No, please…”
Geonwoo’s trembling lips moved from Jaehee’s lips to his collarbone, to his chest. Gentle hands filled with desperation flowed along Jaehee’s body, going down below his waist.
The bond between an alpha and omega. It required the alpha’s knotting as an essential component. It was a bond that could only be carved through endless acts, through tears shed in pleasure resembling pain.
So preparation was needed. Geonwoo lowered his lips a bit more and gently took him in his mouth. To draw out any reaction from Jaehee, Geonwoo fully opened his pheromones and poured them onto Jaehee.
With trembling eyes, Geonwoo steadied his voice that threatened to break. He called Jaehee as he always did, affectionately and sweetly. So that Jaehee could cling to life, so that he wouldn’t give up. So that he could return to his arms, deceived by this sweetness.
“Hyung… Jaehee hyung…”
How many times had this desperate call been repeated?
How long had these sorrowful touches continued?
Geonwoo’s emotions built up, and finally, that desperation held onto Jaehee who was standing at the end of life. He had responded to his alpha’s endless calls.
“…Uh…”
That wasn’t the end. Jaehee weakly reacted to the blatantly pouring pheromones and the soft stimulation filled with heat. He made a small sound.
Geonwoo’s eyes widened. He focused on Jaehee’s reactions. He persistently stimulated him so that Jaehee’s breath would become hot.
“…Ah…”
Jaehee’s reactions gradually grew. His lips parted, and hot breath burst from his body that had been growing cold.
Geonwoo kissed Jaehee’s lips. He parted the slightly opened lips and swallowed the hot breath. Moist sounds continued, and their wavelengths and pheromones mixed together.
Jaehee was gradually consumed by heat from the stimulation of this familiar and longed-for person.

Kwagwang-!
Meanwhile, Dohyun and the Espers who had been thrown outside the building were using their abilities to the maximum to get inside the building where Jaehee was.
“Damn it!”
But they couldn’t break the barrier Choi Geonwoo had created around the building.
In the end, unable to do anything, they just gritted their teeth and helplessly looked at the building. Suddenly, Choi Geonwoo’s wavelength, which had been swirling massively, subsided to an unusually calm level. As time passed, even the barrier created by Choi Geonwoo gradually blurred and weakened.
As the barrier soon began to disappear on its own, Dohyun and the Espers exchanged glances. They immediately entered where Jaehee was.
Creaking, the door opened and the room inside was visible. Jaehee was still lying on the bed. He showed no movement at all.
Moreover, no omega pheromones could be felt around Jaehee. Dohyun’s eyes widened. The absence of pheromones meant that he had either passed away or bonded with an alpha.
Dohyun’s gaze quickly turned to the side. Choi Geonwoo was beside Jaehee. As if he had known that the Espers and Dr. Yoon would come, or rather, as if he had deliberately removed the barrier because he wanted that, he showed no agitation as he looked at Dohyun, the Espers, and Dr. Yoon.
“Dr. Yoon. Please check Guide’s condition again.”
Geonwoo said, looking directly at Dr. Yoon. Something about Choi Geonwoo’s demeanor had changed a bit.
But Dr. Yoon, unable to notice what caused this feeling, just exchanged glances with Dohyun for a moment and slowly approached Jaehee.
Jaehee, whom he checked directly, was quietly closing his eyes. The labored breathing, the distress that had contorted his face—all had disappeared without a trace.
With a slightly relieved expression, Dr. Yoon examined Jaehee’s condition precisely. He took blood samples and checked his overall condition. And surprisingly, the concerning state had calmed considerably.
It was the effect of the bond.
But the inherently weakened body couldn’t be helped. Though he had passed the crisis, the bond couldn’t restore a body that had already been damaged beyond repair. That was why Jaehee couldn’t wake up.
“Guide… won’t open his eyes.”
The voice full of worry sounded like someone who was more concerned about Jaehee than anyone else here. Dr. Yoon raised his head to look at Choi Geonwoo. His gaze was fixed on Jaehee. Fortunately, the dark red energy signaling a rampage had disappeared from Geonwoo’s eyes.
But Choi Geonwoo’s physical condition wasn’t good either, having crossed the boundaries of numerous rampages. Despite this, he was only worried about Jaehee.
Because he was someone who had given his own life to Jaehee by bonding with him in a situation where he might die, Dr. Yoon felt complicated emotions looking at Choi Geonwoo. After all, it was Choi Geonwoo who had saved Jaehee when they had to watch Jaehee die without being able to do anything.
“…It will take some time for him to open his eyes.”
So that’s why. In a voice that seemed somewhat subdued, Dr. Yoon looked down at Jaehee and spoke softly.
And just as he said, from here on it was Jaehee’s own battle. There was nothing they could do but wait until Jaehee woke up on his own. They didn’t even know when he would open his eyes.
At that moment, Dohyun approached from behind. Apart from feeling relieved about Jaehee’s improved condition, Dohyun couldn’t accept the current situation.
The bond between Lee Jaehee and Choi Geonwoo. That shouldn’t have happened. His tightly clenched hands were trembling, as if emotions were taking over.
“Stop it.”
Someone blocked such a Dohyun. But the one stopping Dohyun wasn’t Geonwoo. It was Dr. Yoon.
Alpha and omega who share each other’s life.
In the current state, if something were to happen to Choi Geonwoo, Jaehee, who was already weakened to the extreme, would truly meet his end this time. Knowing this, Dr. Yoon blocked Dohyun. Dohyun also knew this, so he gritted his teeth and endured.
Geonwoo briefly glanced at the two, then took Jaehee back into his arms.
“Please, wake up.”
…Jaehee hyung.
Geonwoo closed his eyes as if tired.
Before Geonwoo’s eyes, images of Jaehee’s behavior flashed by.
His hyung who always looked at him with eyes full of sadness.
His hyung who was so cold when awake, but always cried and called for him when asleep.
His hyung who worried while pushing him away, and who ultimately cried at his wounds and called him “Geonwoo.”
And then, memories of numerous lives overlapped. He recalled the words his hyung had said to him every time he repeated countless lives.
‘Geonwoo, what if… I’m such an unlucky person… and… what if you get hurt because of my misfortune?’
As events escalated in the repeated regressions, his hyung would invariably ask this question. It was what his hyung had said in every iteration.
So Geonwoo couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t tell him. That he was changing Jaehee’s fate, pushing away that misfortune.
‘You won’t get hurt. With an S-class Esper as your partner, why would you worry about that?’
So he just tried to reassure his hyung. He was busy comforting him, telling him that there was nothing to fear.
Because he knew that if Jaehee learned all this, he would endure all this misfortune alone, just like now. Because Jaehee would certainly have done so, he didn’t tell him anything.
Even if he forgot all the moments they had loved each other and started over from the beginning, alone with his memories of his hyung. Even if it was repeated countless times. Even if his mind gradually became devastated and ultimately broken in the face of his hyung’s countless deaths.
At least Jaehee… at least his hyung…
He wished for him to just be happy, following the path he had created without knowing anything. He wanted to bear all the sadness by himself.
This life was no different. Self-blame and regret flooded in, thinking that if only he had recovered his memories a little earlier…
