Tae-Woo looked back at So-Won and nodded quietly.
“I’ll be back in a minute.”
“Yes. I’ll be waiting here.”
As expected, it must be urgent.
There is nothing So-Won can do.
When So-Won released Tae-Woo, the armed Esper took something out of his bag and began to fill his body.
The strange-looking chain stretched one by one over Tae-Woo’s body.
‘Wait, a chain?’ So-Won thought.
So-Won, finally realizing what was happening, jumped up from his seat.
“Tae, Tae-Woo?” So-Won approached Tae-Woo in surprise but was quickly stopped by another Esper.
So-Won seemed greatly embarrassed. Tae-Woo, looking down calmly at his body being detained, opened his mouth.
“That’s all right. I’m going for an examination because of what just happened.”
“Ha, but didn’t you feel better….”
So-Won’s eyes shook nervously.
So-Won thought it was all over after preventing Tae-Woo from exploding, but it didn’t seem like it.
“I was a guide… He now has calmed down… Why are you restraining him?”
“We’re limiting his movement for safety because there’s a risk of being a runaway again. “
“I’m fine, Lee So-Won.”
Tae-Woo seemed used to this kind of work.
It didn’t feel like Tae-Won’s only been through it once or twice.
However, So-Won’s heart throbbed as if he had been stabbed deeply by a knife.
He was being treated like this, and So-Won didn’t know anything until now.
“Well, I’m coming with you.”
“No. Lee So-Won, please stay here.”
“But…”
“Thanks to Lee So-Won’s quick treatment, we will be able to come back soon after the examination. Please wait here for a moment.”
With a stubborn attitude, So-Won pouted his mouth and eventually closed it.
Come to think of it, So-Won figured he wouldn’t want to see him being tested in that condition, and there was nothing So-Won could do for Tae-Woo.
The Espers continued to detain Tae-Woo.
After turning his arm behind his back, he tied it to his body to prevent him from moving, and both ankles were also filled with restraints that led to chains.
After wearing a muzzle-like mask covering Tae-Woo’s face in half, he could no longer talk to So-Won.
Tae-Woo tried nearly went out of control, but there was no reason to be treated so badly.
However, Tae-Woo only looked at what people were doing as if he were familiar with this kind of work.
So-Won has many things he wants to say to him, but if he opens his mouth, So-Won thinks he will cry.
So-Won pressed down on his lips.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“I will call you if necessary.”
After Esper said so, he took Tae-Woo out.
So-Won was left alone.
“Well….”
So-Won felt like he was sitting on a thorn.
So-Won rolled his eyes with an uncomfortable expression.
So-Won came to take the guide training, but he felt useless.
Whenever that happened, when So-Won turned his head, So-Won glanced and made eye contact with the person who was peeking at him.
It was the same now.
So-Won knew the reason roughly.
It’s probably because of what happened in front of the association yesterday.
It was a loud incident where two S-class people collided, so that it would have been reported on the news at least three or four times.
So-Won was afraid to check people’s reactions, so he didn’t look for anything on purpose, but it seemed to be spreading.
When So-Won looked around yesterday, he saw quite a few people with smartphones.
It looked like they had taken pictures and videos.
The photos may have been circulated on the Internet by now or in the news mosaic if unlucky.
Anyone who knew So-Won would have noticed by the description that the Guide in the picture was So-Won.
For example, like the people who took the guide training together yesterday.
“Ha…”
It had nothing to do with being revealed that he was Tae-Woo’s Guide, but So-Won kept worrying that he was tangled with Si-Hyuk.
So-Won hope there’s no weird rumor going around.
So-Won made eye contact with a stranger again.
No matter how much So-Won thinks about it, it seems that he was caught being Tae-Woo’s Guide, so So-Won quietly packed his luggage and came out of the classroom.
“What should I do now….”
Once So-Won came out of the room, he had nothing to do.
So-Won also thought about going to Tae-Woo and guide him, but So-Won was scared that he would meet Si-Hyuk like yesterday, and he felt awkward seeing Tae-Woo’s face after what happened in the private room, so he did not bother going.
But So-Won didn’t want to go home like this even though he had gone out.
So-Won, choosing a destination in the hot sun, eventually decided to return to his parent’s house.
He often ran away to his house in the past, but since he regressed from eight years ago and started living with Tae-Woo, he has never gone home.
There was a pretty big incident yesterday, and So-Won headed to his house for the first time in a long time because So-Won remembered his parents, who were worried about him after he said that he was matched with Kang Tae-Woo.
[Mom, are you home?]
So-Won texted his parents on the way home.
However, there was no reply until So-Won arrived in front of the house.
So-Won, who looked down at the screen awkwardly, pressed the password of the front door and entered the house.
“Mom?”
As soon as So-Won entered the house, he heard a loud TV sound.
Soon after, So-Won’s mother stuck out his head with a curious expression inside the house.
“So-Won!”
As soon as So-Won’s parents confirmed that So-Won had come, their faces brightened.
So-Won regretted that he should have contacted them more often when he saw that.
He was a 30-year-old child confined to his room not long ago and did not talk to his parents properly, but now he is a 22-year-old immature son.
So-Won immediately felt guilty when he thought of his mom being worried about him.
“I was worried about the news… Are you feeling better? Are you hurt?”
“As expected, the news came out…”
So-Won grinned and muttered.
It was such a big event that So-Won couldn’t help but be on the news.
So-Won was a little hopeless.
This significantly contributed to Tae-Woo’s worsening reputation.
So-Won’s mother put a deep sighing So-Won on the porch and flipped So-Won’s short sleeve.
“Argh!”
At the same time, So-Won hurriedly pulled down his clothes in surprise.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“It’s not okay! You have bruises all over your back! How did this happen? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“Huh?”
So-Won asked back with his eyes wide open as he looked at his mother with a worried expression.
“What? Didn’t you know? How come you don’t know you’re hurt until you’re like this?”
So-Won, dumbfounded, rushed to the bathroom to look at his back in the mirror.
As So-Won’s mother said, a bluish bruise was on So-Won’s white back.
The shape of two thick bands winding around the back like a snake was Tae-Woo’s arm, no matter how much he looked at it.
That’s why it hurt… If he thinks about it now, it’s fortunate that it’s only been bruised. He jumped into him. He had nothing to say, even if he was seriously hurt. Still, it was a relief that Tae-Woo didn’t notice this. If Tae-Woo knew he was injured and felt guilty, he would have been difficult.
“For the time being, I should be careful when I change clothes…”
This wound was not a big deal, but So-Won thought he should be careful next time, so he decided to come out to the living room.
“What do you think? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No, thanks. It would disappear if left alone.”
When So-Won, shrugged his shoulders. He continued to talk, recalling what his mother had said.
“Mom, you said you saw the news, right? What was it about?”
“I heard that Kang Tae-Woo attacked Choi Si-Hyuk. In addition, I heard that Kang Tae-Woo suddenly nearly went berserk and hurt the guide… Did you get hurt then?”
“No, well…”
When So-Won glossed over his words, So-Won’s mother scolded So-Won for doing such a dangerous thing, asking what he would do if he were injured.
So-Won smiled awkwardly and avoided answering.
As it is news that many people watch, it has been moderately censored.
It didn’t s say anything about Choi Si-Hyuk forcing Tae-Won, or when Tae-Woo tried to explode.
So-Won was less worried but concerned about the sightings that would have spread on the Internet.
It was clear that the rumor would spread quickly because it happened right in front of the association, and there were many witnesses.
“Did they say anything else? With Esper Kang Tae-Woo… No, just don’t say it.”
So-Won tried to ask if there was any talk about his runaway.
[**they call an esper about to lose control a runaway]
So-Won thought it would be better not to ask his parents about kissing Tae-Woo because sometimes So-Won might ask him for no reason and then look for him later.
“So-Won, are you okay? I heard Esper Kang Tae-Woo attack Choi Si-Hyuk all of a sudden. Are you sure he’s not a dangerous person?”
‘Is this how they misunderstand?’ So-Won thought.
So-Won sighed deeply.
