# Chapter 95
Geonwoo immediately summoned Dr. Yoon. He needed someone to stay by Jaehee’s side so he wouldn’t be alone while Geonwoo dealt with the monsters. Dr. Yoon was the appropriate person for this. He was the one that the unstable Jaehee could be somewhat comfortable having around.
Not long after, Dr. Yoon arrived. Behind him was an Esper assigned to his protection.
The two who entered the room simultaneously looked at the bed. Geonwoo was there, holding Jaehee in his arms, watching the two of them.
“…”
Dr. Yoon’s face immediately crumpled. It was a scene that naturally revealed what Choi Geonwoo might have done to Jaehee while he was away.
But whether Dr. Yoon’s expression crumpled or not, Geonwoo didn’t care at all. Instead, Geonwoo’s gaze was directed at the Esper standing behind Dr. Yoon. Pressed down by the oppressive atmosphere, the Esper naturally lowered his head. The difference in power was acutely felt just from Geonwoo’s wavelength scattering around.
Geonwoo, looking at such an Esper, suddenly released pheromones. A massive amount of pheromones filled the room so thickly that it was suffocating. But the Esper must have been a Beta as he didn’t react at all to Geonwoo’s pheromones. He was just trying not to make eye contact, pressed down by Geonwoo’s dominance.
Instead, the reaction came from Jaehee. Jaehee, in Geonwoo’s arms, whimpered and squirmed. As the pheromones heavily touched his increasingly sensitive body, he seemed to be in pain and dropped tears.
“Is it very hard for you, Guide-nim?”
“Hh… ugh…”
Tears automatically welled up in his eyes from the heat that wouldn’t subside. Geonwoo gently caressed Jaehee’s eyes and spoke in an apologetic tone.
“I’m sorry, I had to check if that Esper was an Alpha.”
I can’t have another Alpha beside you except for me, can I? Geonwoo said this and held Jaehee in his arms to comfort him. Then he raised his upper body.
“…!”
Dr. Yoon’s eyes widened greatly. As Geonwoo raised his body, the blanket slid down, revealing a curved upper body with nothing on it. Dr. Yoon quickly turned his gaze to look at Jaehee, seeing the explicit appearance that revealed what they had been doing. It was with a mind that dreaded to think.
But Geonwoo immediately covered the blanket that had slid down from Jaehee. Choi Geonwoo didn’t think of concealing his own body, but he didn’t want to expose Jaehee’s body.
Geonwoo sat on the edge of the bed and arranged the place so Jaehee could rest comfortably. While doing so, with his gaze still on Jaehee, he spoke to Dr. Yoon.
“I would like you to take care of Guide-nim.”
“…”
Dr. Yoon just listened quietly.
“As you can see, Guide-nim’s physical condition isn’t very good right now.”
Geonwoo said this while gently placing his hand on Jaehee’s neck. Perhaps because his manifestation wasn’t far off, his body temperature was gradually rising.
“But with the situation outside, I need to leave Guide-nim’s side for a while.”
Geonwoo pointed outside the window as he spoke. A horde of monsters had somehow approached very close.
“First, I need to check Lee Jaehee Guide’s condition directly.”
Dr. Yoon said this while watching Geonwoo’s reaction. Then he approached Jaehee. He needed to check Jaehee’s condition as soon as possible.
“Guide Lee Jaehee?”
Under Geonwoo’s watchful eye, Dr. Yoon carefully called out to Jaehee. After blinking his eyes for a while, Jaehee slowly opened his mouth.
“…Dr… Yoon?”
Jaehee barely recognized Dr. Yoon, frowning as if his temperature was rising. His body was trembling as if something was hurting again.
“Yes, it’s me. Guide Lee Jaehee.”
Dr. Yoon said. Then, as if Jaehee was overcome with emotion, he dropped tears. Dr. Yoon’s eyes widened. He could tell from Jaehee’s current state how much he had been suffering all this time. How scared he must have been, trapped alone in a situation he couldn’t escape from on his own. Dr. Yoon clenched his molars imperceptibly.
“…Dr. Yoon…”
Originally, Jaehee wasn’t someone who leaned on others. Yet now, that same Lee Jaehee was shedding tears just seeing him. Finding comfort just in the fact that he saw his face in a situation where he had been alone with Choi Geonwoo…
Dr. Yoon regretted. He regretted hesitating when Dohyun insisted they needed to go to Jaehee as soon as he woke up. He should have found Jaehee even a little earlier.
“He has a high fever.”
Geonwoo said. Unlike Dr. Yoon, Geonwoo’s face was painfully contorted at Jaehee’s reaction. Still, Geonwoo couldn’t let go of Jaehee. So Geonwoo collected his expression and continued speaking to Dr. Yoon.
“So until I return, please stay by his side and make sure he rests.”
Geonwoo looked outside the window once and then stood up. He picked up his clothes and put them on.
“It won’t take very long.”
He didn’t want to be separated from Jaehee, but there was no more time. Soon this area would be filled with monsters. Geonwoo planned to handle them after making the monsters move away from this place as much as possible, so that Jaehee wouldn’t get hurt.
“I’ll be back, Guide-nim.”
Geonwoo gently stroked Jaehee’s cheek and whispered that he would return soon. His eyes held a deep affection. His love for Jaehee was overflowing.
Geonwoo approached the doorway to leave the room. Then he suddenly stopped. He turned his head, looked down at Dr. Yoon with a cold gaze, and spoke softly.
“It’s dangerous outside, so don’t come out under any circumstances. Dr. Yoon, you just need to take care of Guide-nim inside this room.”
Having said that far, Geonwoo paused and approached Dr. Yoon. Soon, a large shadow completely engulfed Dr. Yoon’s body.
“So other than that, don’t do anything.”
Geonwoo’s words were loud enough for Jaehee to hear.
“If Guide-nim isn’t in this room when I return.”
Geonwoo, who had been looking at Dr. Yoon, shifted his gaze to look at Jaehee. At that moment, the cold expression he had been wearing while looking at Dr. Yoon melted away, leaving only a soft smile. Geonwoo spoke, smiling affectionately towards Jaehee.
“Then I don’t know what I might do.”
But contrary to the brightly smiling face, the words Geonwoo uttered were chilling.
“So I don’t know.”
It was clearly a warning.
***
“So loud…”
The Center was in an uproar. A loud warning sound that hurt the ears was blaring everywhere. Amidst such commotion, there was a man. He was Lee Minhun.
“Haah, haah. Tch.”
He was walking alone, staggering through the corridor of the Center. His breathing was uneven.
“…What the hell, really.”
Minhun felt like his head was about to explode right now. Was it because of this warning sound? No, these symptoms had been repeating for some time now. The reason was unknown. All Minhun knew was that only when receiving Guiding from Yoo Jiwoon could he be free from this pain.
But it was strange. The more Guiding he received from Yoo Jiwoon, the better his body felt, and although his headache would disappear at that moment, damn it, it was only for that moment. As time went by, the headache got worse. He even felt like an unclear voice was repeating like tinnitus. Minhun was going crazy.
“…Guide Yoo Jiwoon.”
Yoo Jiwoon was like a drug to Minhun. Like an addiction, Minhun sought out Jiwoon. Because only when receiving Guiding from Jiwoon could he escape this headache that was gnawing at his nerves.
Minhun entered the medical ward looking for Yoo Jiwoon. Jiwoon appeared. He looked a little surprised, but soon showed Minhun a gentle smile as always. He welcomed him, telling him to come in.
“I need Guiding.”
At Minhun’s words, Jiwoon immediately stretched out his hand. Minhun urgently grasped his hand. Guiding energy entered his body. The sounds that had been banging loudly in his head stopped. The headache disappeared, and peace came. His entire body relaxed lazily, and his mind became blank… quiet.
And that’s when it happened. For a moment, Jiwoon’s body scent was felt. It was the first time this had happened. But his blank mind couldn’t find the reason. His empty eyes were merely reflecting Jiwoon’s face approaching him.
“…yo.”
Yoo Jiwoon whispered something small into Minhun’s ear. But Minhun couldn’t hear it. Yet strangely, his head nodded as if naturally expressing agreement. At the same time, a specific sound repeated in his head like tinnitus.
“Esper Lee Minhun.”
And a small weight was added to his previously light uniform pocket. Jiwoon withdrew his hand from Minhun’s sleeve.
“The Guiding is over.”
Jiwoon said this and smiled as he detached himself from Minhun. At the same time, Minhun’s head dropped toward the floor.
“…must… do it.”
Minhun repeatedly said something with his head lowered. Along with his gradually returning consciousness, those words were deeply imprinted in his mind. Very strongly, to the extent that he couldn’t recognize it himself.
It was while Jiwoon was watching such a Minhun with a smile.
“Guide Yoo Jiwoon!”
Simultaneously with the door bursting open, an Esper’s wavelength was felt from behind. Jiwoon erased the smile from his lips and turned around. There stood an Esper with a familiar face.
