Guide Me If You Dare-Chapter 197: DAMN IT ALL

IT’S DONE.

Yuno was relieved when he saw Kwon Hojun’s eyes return to normal.

The kid still looked a bit out of it, but he could tell that Kwon Hojun was far from going on a Rampage.

In fact, his Mana was dropping.

But it’s nothing to be worried about.

"Hyung, I feel sleepy," Kwon Hoju said while rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. "I feel like I’ve eaten too much in a buffet, and now I’m sleepy."

"It’s because you were greedy. But it’s alright," Yuno said while patting Kwon Hojun’s head. "Sleep, Kwon Hojun. You’ll be fine after you wake up."

Kwon Hojun couldn’t even respond— the kid just plopped on the bed, already asleep.

Okay, my job here is done.

To be honest, Yuno wanted to check Kwon Hojun’s Core.

But it was wrong to do that to a sleeping person without their consent, and an Esper’s Core was really not his expertise.

It was just a shame that he could no longer hear or see Matthew.

He only gained that ability when the Esper Core was implanted in his heart.

But maybe Kwon Hojun gained the ability to see and hear Matthew-ssi, if Matthew-ssi is still around.

Judging by the cold breeze in the room, it seemed like Matthew was still there, though.

Good.

Yuno tucked in Kwon Hojun in bed properly.

And when he was about to leave the room to look for Ki Gayoon and Moon Noa, he suddenly got a call from someone he couldn’t ignore.

Why is this person suddenly calling?

"Yes, Haru-nim?"

Yep, it was none other than the dethroned prince of Japan.

<"Yuno-kun, you once told me that being a snitch is okay sometimes, right?">

Aigoo.

"Yes, Haru-nim. I often snitch when the opponent is stronger than me. There’s no shame in that, as long as you know you have a strong back-up to protect you from the consequences of your cowardice."

He heard Haru chuckle on the other line.

But when the ex-prince spoke again, his voice sounded serious.

<"Noa-san brought home Sungbin-san.">

"Excuse me?"

<"They made a deal.">

"What deal?"

<"I haven’t heard the details yet, but it seems like it has something to do with Noa-san’s sealed memories.">

Yuno froze on the spot when he heard that.

Did Sajangnim agree to unseal his memories?

But if that was a part of the deal, then it meant Moon Noa agreed to share his sealed memories with Ryu Sungbin.

In short, his boss fell into Ryu Sungbin’s honey trap.

"Fuck."

Yuno only realized that he cursed under his breath a little loudly when Haru chuckled— but that laugh sounded shallow.

Like even the ex-prince was disappointed in Moon Noa.

<"Yuno-kun, don’t be too hard on Noa-san.">

"Then you shouldn’t have snitched, Haru-nim. You know that I’ll get angry since I’m sensitive when it comes to Sajangnim’s sealed memories."

<"I was hoping you’d deal with the problem in a civil manner.">

"If Sajangnim was a child, then gentle parenting wouldn’t work on him."

<"Yuno-kun, as long as you don’t beat up Noa-san, I won’t get mad.">

"I don’t need your opinion, Haru-nim," Yuno said stubbornly. "Thank you for telling me, but I’ll deal with Sajangnim in a way that I know would work."

<"Yuno-kun—">

Yuno ended the call and turned off his phone.

He then marched out of the room with clenched hands.

BANG!

Aigoo.

It sounded like something exploded after the ground shook a bit.

Yuno could tell that Ki Gayoon was fighting.

Gayoon Hyung is probably fighting Leehan Hyung.

If that was the case, then Ki Gayoon was probably be really angry towards Moon Noa if Leehan felt the need to protect their boss. freewebnøvel.com

His boss really messed up.

Sajangnim, you didn’t forget the promise that we made before, right?

Yuno followed the trail of strong Mana clashing against each other, and then he reached the right room.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by an almost dead shadow beast.

Aw.

That’s Leehan Hyung’s favorite pet, the three-headed monster wolf...

Yuno was worried about the shadow beast, but he was more worried about Leehan who was suspended in the air— his movements obviously restricted.

It looked like Ki Gayoon would twist Leehan’s body until all his bones were broken.

That’s too much for a petty fight.

"Gayoon Hyung."

Ki Gayoon flinched as if he were a child caught stealing a cookie in a jar.

When Ki Gayoon turned around, he went pale as if he was worried that Yuno was mad at him.

Cute.

It was probably why Ki Gayoon dropped Leehan in an instant, and the Esper explained.

"Yuno-ya, they started it."

I know, Hyung.

But Yuno didn’t have the time to talk to Ki Gayoon since he saw red when he saw Moon Noa sitting on a chair calmly— as if he just didn’t make a bad decision.

Ah, this is really making me angry.

Hence, Yuno stood in front of Moon Noa...

... and then he slapped his boss with the back of his hand.

Leehan gasped out loud, while Ki Gayoon reacted the way Yuno expected.

"That’s so fucking sexy of you, Noh Yuno."

Of course, his lover would react that way.

If the situation wasn’t that scary, Yuno would have laughed.

Yes, it was true that he slapped Moon Noa unapologetically.

But the Korean in him was shaking.

I mean, I don’t really care about age hierarchy. But Sajangnim is way older than me. Plus, I just bit the hand that fed me all these years.

Yuno knew he only fulfilled his duty, but his hand still shook.

I really slapped my boss...

"Noh Yuno," Moon Noa said, calling Yuno by his full name instead of his nickname. The sajangnim then turned to him while touching his swollen cheek. "I guess you still remember our promise."

Yuno nodded while hiding his shaking hands behind his back. "Sajangnim, you told me to slap you if ever you fell for Ryu Sungbin’s honey trap."

"Who told you?"

"..."

"It’s probably Haru."

Aigoo.

Sajangnim sounds scary when he calls people by their full name instead of the stupid nicknames that he made for them.

That was probably why Yuno’s hands wouldn’t stop shaking.

Moreover, Moon Noa was still an S-Class Guide.

Hence, I feel like I slapped a higher being than me.

"Moon Noa, stop intimidating Noh Yuno with your aura," Ki Gayoon growled lowly, standing behind Yuno to hold his shaking hands. "You deserve that slap."

Yuno wanted to tell Ki Gayoon to stop it.

But it seemed like Ki Gayoon’s intimidation worked since Moon Noa’s heavy aura disappeared.

Oh, my hands finally stopped shaking.

Yuno leaned against Ki Gayoon’s chest because he felt safe with his lover.

"I know I was the one who told you to slap me if I fell for Binbin’s seduction, but I didn’t expect you to really do it, Yuyu."

Ah, Sajangnim is back to his usual cheery self.

"Sajangnim, why did you agree to share your sealed memories with Ryu Sungbin?" Yuno asked, sighing. "Are you going to betray me?"

Pain crossed Moon Noa’s eyes, but he smiled to hide it away.

It wasn’t successful, though.

Sajangnim still looks sad and in pain.

"I did this for you, Yuyu."

"Bullshit," Yuno said. He didn’t mean to curse in front of Moon Noa, but he said something so vague and suspicious. "Explain properly, Sajangnim."

"Since my sealed memories are very important to all of us, I asked Ryu Sungbin to give me a piece of information that could match it. And he did," Moon Noa said, pausing for a moment before he dropped the bomb. "He gave me the information that Lee Sarang tried to steal before she got caught."

Ah, right.

Lee Sarang initially found something suspicious, but Ryu Sungbin and the others caught her before she could find it.

"What kind of information did you get, Sajangnim?"

"The E-Class Guides that attack you actually left a trace, so Bambi and his servants actually found them," Moon Noa said, sighing. It seemed like he was about to drop another bomb since he called Bambi properly instead of calling him ’Bambam’ like usual. "Apparently, Bambi will help those E-Class Guides kidnap you, Yuyu."

"What the fuck?"

It wasn’t Yuno.

This time, it was his turn to soothe Ki Gayoon.

"Hyung, calm down," Yuno said, turning around to hug Ki Gayoon because his Mana immediately fluctuated— a sign that he was about to snap because of extreme anger. "It’s a good thing that we found it early—"

"This country has already forsaken you, Noh Yuno," Ki Gayoon said in a cold voice. "I have no reason to fight for this country anymore."

Aigoo.

<"SO, THERE’S going to be a big fight between Esper Ki Gayoon and Esper Ryu Sungbin?">

"Yes, that’s correct," Bambi said while talking on the phone. "Don’t you think it would be the perfect opportunity to grab Guide Noh Yuno before you leave the country? After all, Esper Ki Gayoon would be too busy to keep an eye on him then."

<"Let’s talk in person— I’ll teach you how to mess with Noh Yihun’s Core.">
