So-Won, who finished preparing in a hurry, left for the Esper Association in a car driven by Tae-Woo.
The road was not so congested even though it was rush hour. When Tae-Woo arrived at the association because So-Won overslept, the time was way past their schedule.
So-Won and Tae-Woo headed straight to the doctorâs lab.
It was also the first interim test for So-Won.
Of course, what So-Won had to do eight years ago was right, but he couldnât because So-Won disappeared.
So-Won began to be a little nervous because he didnât know what to do in the examination.
So-Won, who is not yet familiar with the inside of the association, followed Tae-Woo to the lab.
The doctor who studied the results of the last guided test, including each bone marrow, welcomed them who would have brought new data.
âGuide Lee So-Won, how have you been?â The person in charge reached out with a bright face that was burdensome.
So-Won shook hands with an awkward smile.
âGuide Lee So-Won, please sit here and wait a moment. We will proceed with the regular examination of Esper first.â [The doctor in charge]
So-Won sat down as instructed by the doctor in charge, and Tae-Woo left somewhere with the doctor.
So-Won, who thought Tae-Wooâs test would take a long time, fiddled with his smartphone and thought about calling his parents to say hello.
While thinking about whether to press the call button or not, they came into the lab after finishing earlier than expected.
Tae-Woo came next to So-Won and sat down.
When Tae-Woo, dressed in black, entered the corner of his view, So-Wonâs eyes kept on Tae-Woo.
So-Won forcibly fixed his eyes to the front because he seemed to keep glancing at Tae-Woo.
The doctor in charge sat across So-Won and Tae-Woo, looked at the monitor and clicked the mouse a few times, and warmed up his voice as if he were about to start talking.
âWe will start the mid-term examination after looking at the results of the Esper regular examination. It takes a few minutes for the results to come out, but before that, Iâll tell you a few things first.â
âYes.â So-Won stood up straight and looked at the doctor as if he was being asked an interview question.
There was a touch of tension in his expression.
âFirst of all, the matching rate is 100% certain. We will officially announce it to the academic community soon, and we will never tell about guide So-Wonâs personal information, so you can relax.â
So-Won, who knows whatâs going to happen, nodded.
Even if the association closed its mouth, it would quickly became known to the world that So-Won was Tae-Wooâs guide.
Although there were no articles about it, the information about So-Won was floating around on the Internet.
This time, he was often seen with Tae-Woo, so people would know that Tae-Wooâs guide was him a little faster.
âAnd thereâs something Iâm concerned about from the last test resultsâŚ. Even when there was no contact, the guiding wavelength was recorded. Esper Kang Tae-Woo, do you feel like you are being guided even if you donât have physical contact with the guide?â
âYes,â Tae-Woo replied calmly to the question of the person in charge.
So-Won looked at Tae-Woo, surprised by what he heard for the first time.
On the other hand, the doctor, whose face brightened as if flowers would float around, continued excitedly.
âAs expected! Wow, itâs a rare radiation guiding phenomenon in a relationship with a matching rate of 90% or more, and you were lucky. Congratulations.â
So-Won was congratulated by the doctor in charge and was puzzled.
âThis has never happened in the past when the matching rate was 65%. I canât believe you can be guided even though you didnât intentionally do it.â
So-Won suddenly felt strange.
So-Won felt a stinging wave, but he didnât feel like he guided at all when he touched Tae-Woo.
âTae-Woo, do you still feel guided?â
âYes, I didnât mean to hide it⌠I thought it was my illusion.â Tae-Woo answered.
âWowâŚâ The doctor muttered.
So-Won was inwardly pleased.
So-Won canât believe that he can be a guide just by being next to Tae-Woo.
Then just being with him could have helped him.
A happy smile was formed by So-Wonâs mouth.
So-Won smiled at Tae-Woo.
Tae-Woo couldnât take his eyes off the smile.
The doctor smiled happily at the two who looked like they were on good terms.
At that time, the results of Tae-Wooâs examination appeared on the monitor.
âLetâs see how much better itâs been in two weeks.â The doctor checked the figures pleasantly.
âI checked again. No, itâsâŚâ The person in charge stiffened his face.
Nothing changed from two weeks ago.
The figures improved so little that it was not obvious, but Tae-Woo took a few days off without going to the gate.
âIt wonât be this bad even if they just hold hands all day. Why?â The doctor thought in confusion.
The doctor in charge asked gravely.
âGuide Lee So-Won⌠Are you doing well?â
So-Won replied embarrassedly with an expression that looked quite serious.
âHolding hands⌠I sometimes hugged himâŚ.â
So-Wonâs face turned red by saying hug.
It was because he remembered crying flat in his private room.
The doctor in charge was shocked.
Was that guide actually not an angel?
If they ever done is to hold hands and hug. For an Esper who hasnât been guided for more than 10 years, It was like torture. In addition, Esper, who has the worst condition, lost the opportunity to check how much it improves when it sticks with a guide with a 100% matching rate.
The doctorâs feeling that soared to the sky in anticipation was instantly swept to the ground.
I was also shocked by Esper Kang Tae-Woo. If Guide Lee So-Won touch him, or if Esper Kang Tae-Woo are next to him, Esper Kang Tae-Woo will feel the guiding but it will never be enough.
He needs more, so just by being next to Guide Lee So-Won, Esper Kang Tae-Woo must have been crazy, but Esper Tae-Woo endured it. It wasnât human patience. It was the patience of the monster.
No, really? He couldnât believe it . Esper Kang Tae-Woo was so good at convincing that innocent-looking Guide that it would have been enough to get an intense guide dozens of times by just barely holding hands and hugging him.
âWait, then donât tell me that the building shook a few days ago⌠Did you do that Esper Kang Tae-Woo, again?â The doctorâs face turned blue.
The doctor in charge recalled the association building, which had been shaking like an earthquake all day.
Originally, Esper Kang Tae-Woo was always like that when he came back from the gate.
The occasional roar could have been caused by the wall breaking because of the arm wielded by Esper Kang Tae-Woo while enduring the pain. It could have been a failure to control the power and smashed something.
Now that Kang Tae-Woo has a guide, he firmly believed that he would not do itâŚ.
The doctor in charge, who was greatly shocked, could not say anything when he saw the red-faced So-Won as if he were still ashamed.
Then the doctor came up with a possibility.
So-Wonâs personality, who didnât refuse to be matched with the monster Kang Tae-Woo and became his guide, and that innocence that blushes even though he barely held hands and hugged. Lastly, that face that looks so innocent. It was clear that he was unaware of the fact that with that level of naivety, he could do intense guiding even between the same sex.
The doctor in charge slapped his forehead.
This is why the curriculum was a problem.
Even to high school students, guiding education that elementary school students or elementary school students often hear saying, âIf you hold your hand, you can provide guidanceâ, this is what it looks like.
The doctor has asked the Ministry of Education many times to provide proper guiding training.
The doctorâs blood pressure rose and grabbed the back of his neck.
In this case, even if they were to conduct an intermediate examination now, there was nothing to save. While the world is curious about each of these two, nothing can be studied.
The doctor in charge was in despair.
He canât believe thereâs nothing he can do in front of two people who have 100% matching rates. He was already living a busy day with requests for research sharing from each country every day, and it was already hard to think of sending them an answer that they didnât know anything about.
The doctor tried to give So-Won stinging advice.
âEsper Kang Tae-Woo needs guidance through sex. Itâs very, veryâŚâ
The doctor tried to drop the bomb on the innocent-looking guide with determined eyes.
However, it was faster for Tae-Woo to stare at the doctor in charge.
The doctor could feel Tae-Wooâs fierce eyes.
The doctor in charge felt what he was going to say to So-Won come up to the end of his neck and then go down again.
âEsper Kang Tae-woo, if you donât say it now, itâs going to be harderâŚ.â The doctor said in his mind trying to communicate with Kang Tae-Woo.
The doctor in charge appealed to Tae-Woo with scared eyes, but Tae-Wooâs fierce eyes did not disappear.
In the end, the doctor in charge could not say the most important thing to So-Won.
Instead, the doctor squeezed out the courage he didnât have and gave So-Won weak advice.
âRight now, Esper Kang Tae-woo is very, very short of guides. He need a little stronger guidance.â
So-Won was shocked.
Even though he falls asleep while guiding every night and thought he can be guided just by being next to him, he still lack guidance?
So-Wonâs eyes trembled.
Indeed, Tae-Wooâs condition did not seem to have improved at all.
His physical condition did not seem to have improved, and the wavelength remained the same.
So-Won became greatly sullen.
âIf I had come to Tae-Woo sooner and guided him steadily after the match, his condition would have been a little betterâŚ. I remembered myself fooling around at home with the excuse that I couldnât contact Tae-Woo.â So-Won thought.
So-Wonâs face darkened as guilt rose.
âIâm sorryâŚâ
âLee So-Won, Iâm fine.â
When the doctor in charge saw Tae-Woo, who had changed to a friendly attitude in an instant, appease So-Won, he watched them with a confused mind, as to whether he should be happy or not.
