Guide Me If You Dare-Chapter 171: THE #1 S-CLASS GUIDE

AH, FINALLY.

Moon Noa couldn’t help but smile while observing Mo Hanjin.

For years, he tried to approach at least one of the Guides that Bambi handpicked for the previous Top 5 Espers.

But he failed again and again.

Until Noh Yuno and Ki Gayoon worked together for him.

"Hyung-nim, I need to step out for a moment," Leehan said in a serious tone. "Can I?"

Oh.

Judging by how Leehan looked at the moment, there might be enemies outside.

Of course, Bambi’s side won’t let us take hold of Mo Hanjin without a fight.

"Of course, you may take a walk," Moon Noa said cheerfully. "You may also take off your leash if you need to, Hanhan."

That was him giving his bodyguard permission to go all out.

Leehan chuckled, but the seriousness on his face didn’t disappear. "Thank you, sir," he said, and then he turned to Lee Sarang. "Esper Lee Sarang-nim, I leave them to you."

Lee Sarang looked surprised at first, but she smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry, Leehan-ssi. I’ll protect Noa-nim and Hanjin Oppa."

Only then did Leehan leave the room in a hurry.

"Why am I here?" Mo Hanjin said, frowning. But, although he was acting grumpy, his eyes couldn’t lie— he was scared and nervous to be there alone. "The Esper Association requested for my arrest. This isn’t right."

Lee Sarang, who also didn’t know that Ki Gayoon would bring Mo Hanjin there, looked at Moon Noa as if she wanted answers to the same question as Mo Hanjin had.

Right, let’s start by reminding them who I am.

"Esper Lee Sarang-nim filed a complaint against Guide Mo Hanjin-nim for his negligence— causing Esper Lee Sarang-nim to often fall on the verge of a Rampage," Moon Noa said, speaking formally at first. And then we quickly switched back to his usual playful tone. "You’re right, Momo."

Mo Hanjin looked confused because it was the first time Moon Noa called him that way. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

I can’t call him ’Hanhan’ because that’s how I call Leehan, and I can’t call him ’Jinjin’ because that’s how I call Jin Sooin. So, ’Momo’ it is.

And he didn’t care if Mo Hanjin didn’t like his new pet name.

"It’s true that it should be the Esper Association’s job to interrogate you, Momo. But you seem to have forgotten one thing," Moon Noa said, smiling while pointing at himself. "I am the #1 S-Class Guide in South Korea— and I have more privilege and more authority than Bambam and Chief Kim Munhee combined together."

Unfortunately, it was a privilege and authority that he couldn’t enjoy the last few years because of Ryu Sungbin and the other Top 5 Espers.

He didn’t have a strong ally back then.

That was also how the Esper Association lost its power.

But everything had changed now.

I have Yoonyoon to back me up, and Yuyu can destroy the Top 5 Guides with his own hands if he wants to.

In short, Moon Noa could do whatever he wanted now.

Bambam and Binbin can try to stop me, but they’ll have to answer to Yoonyoon now.

Ah, this taste of power...

I have to savor this.

"Momo, before I hand you over to the Esper Association, let me talk to you first," Moon Noa said, putting on the white gloves with golden accents that he pulled out from his Inventory. "And let me give you a piece of advice as a Guide to a fellow Guide~"

Mo Hanjin went pale, and then he tried to step away from Moon Noa.

However, the younger Guide couldn’t move anymore.

After all, Mo Hanjin was already caught inside the glowing magic circle that Moon Noa created with his golden-like Mana.

It looks fancy, but...

Unfortunately, it was a technique that would only work on inferior Guides.

I tried to use this technique on Yuyu before, but Yuyu simply kicked the magic circle.

"Noa-nim, you’re not going to hurt Hanjin Oppa, are you?" Lee Sarang asked nervously. "Please don’t go overboard."

Hmm.

It was a difficult request.

"Sasa, it’s going to hurt Momo a little— but I promise I won’t kill him," Moon Noa said, smiling at Lee Sarang who looked like she wanted to cry. "If you don’t want to see Momo get hurt, then please close your eyes and cover your ears."

Mo Hanjin glared at Moon Noa. "Even if you’re the #1 S-Class Guide, you can’t do this— argh!"

Oh~

I still got it, huh?

Moon Noa just clasped his hands together, and it already caused Mo Hanjin to scream as if his entire body was being twisted. "I’m sorry, Momo— but I have to squeeze the truth out of you."

***

HAAAH.

Ki Gayoon massaged his temples after hearing Yuno’s long explanation.

No wonder this punk insisted that we talk once we’re at home— he knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate while driving.

That was also why Noh Yuno sat on the sofa instead of sitting next to Gayoon on the bed.

"So, you’re saying you don’t have savings because you’re supporting for families," Gayoon said, glaring at Noh Yuno. "Have you lost your mind, you little shit?"

He didn’t want to call his lover the way he used to.

But he couldn’t help it.

I hate how this punk is being too selfless!

Noh Yuno, who was sitting on the sofa while hugging a huge capybara doll, avoided his gaze. "To be fair, I have lost my mind a long time ago, Ahjuhyung."

"Yah. You know that’s not what I mean."

"They need help, Ahjuhyung. The other families aren’t as greedy as Kwon Hojun’s family. Plus, no one forced me to support them— I’m doing this because I want to."

"Noh Yuno—"

"And it’s not like I don’t have a life savings," Noh Yuno said, cutting Gayoon off. "Don’t worry about my finances, Ahjuhyung. You’re paying me a huge salary, so I won’t go bankrupt even though I’m supporting four families."

"You know I’m not worried about your finances."

"Then you should stop worrying about where I spend my money."

"I’m worried because supporting those families mean you haven’t forgiven yourself for what happened to your former suitors," Gayoon said sternly. He didn’t want to use that tone on Noh Yuno. But he couldn’t help it since this punk was obviously trying to drop the subject. "Noh Yuno, you have to move on. And you can only do that if you cut ties with the people related to your past suitors."

Noh Yuno bit his lower lip, but he still refused to look in Gayoon’s direction. "Hyung, you can’t ask that from me. Because of me, those poor kids died and left their families to fend for themselves. This is the only thing I can do for them."

"And I’m saying you don’t have to do that since you didn’t kill those kids."

"..."

Haaah.

Gayoon pressed the bridge of his nose.

This punk’s trauma is deeper than I thought.

Now he wanted to revive the person who made Noh Yuno believe that those kids die because of him, then kill that person again and again.

"Ahjuhyung, you don’t have to help me this time if you don’t want to."

"What?"

"Kwon Hojun’s parents seemed to have used me as collateral for the money they borrowed from scary loan sharks," Noh Yuno reminded Gayoon. "So, those loan sharks might come after me. It seems like Kwon Hojun’s parents borrowed a huge amount of money— bigger than the amount I send them monthly. So, I don’t think they’ll be able to pay it."

Right.

To be fair, Gayoon almost forgot the most important part because he lost his cool when he heard that Noh Yuno had been supporting four families all this time.

And the amount he sends to each family is enough for them to live comfortably.

No wonder Noh Yuno was working like a dog day and night and yet, his lifestyle didn’t seem to improve.

I thought Moon Noa wasn’t paying this punk correctly, but this is why.

"Ahjuhyung, you don’t have to force yourself to protect me."

"Are you really picking a fight with me, punk?"

Noh Yuno finally faced him, and his face looked as cold as it did the first time they met each other. "Ahjuhyung, I know I’m being unreasonable right now. And I can tell that you’re pissed off because of me."

"Yeah, I am."

"So—"

"But just because I’m pissed doesn’t mean I’ll stop caring about you. Didn’t you say that earlier?"

"Well, that was just my wishful thinking..."

Gayoon let out a deep sigh. "Come here, punk."

Of course, Noh Yuno didn’t budge.

This punk is really not someone you can boss around.

Gayoon already knew that, and so he snapped his fingers.

Noh Yuno let out a soft yelp when his body suddenly levitated— and then the wind carried him towards Gayoon.

Then Noh Yuno fell straight on Gayoon’s lap.

"Ahjuhyung, you only do what I want when I don’t want it."

"Whatever. You’re not the only one who can do whatever they want whenever they want," Gayoon said stubbornly, wrapping his arms around Noh Yuno’s waist. "Noh Yuno, you can’t make me hate you no matter how difficult you are."

***

"NOH YUNO, you can’t make me hate you no matter how difficult you are— and I will never stop caring about you, even if you don’t want me to."

Okay, Yuno would admit it now.

Hearing those sincere and warm words from Ki Gayoon made his heart flutter.

Ah, dammit.

I think I’m falling deeply in love with Gayoon Hyung...
