WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE & EXPLICIT SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. Seojin, an SS-rank Esper, is the golden retriever type—kind, powerful, and fiercely independent. But there's one thing he's sure of: he doesn't need a Guide, especially not a male one. Haunted by a traumatic childhood experience, Seojin has spent his life pushing away anything that might tie him down, particularly 'Guides'. He’s convinced he’s straight, and the mere idea of bonding with a male Guide is something he refuses to consider. Minseok, a mischievous and dominant S-rank Guide, notorious for his ability to tame even the strongest Espers. He has always been desired, pursued relentlessly by Espers who craves his touch. But none of them interest him—until he meets Seojin, the one Esper who dares to reject him outright. To Minseok, this isn't just about power anymore—Seojin’s resistance becomes an irresistible challenge. For the first time, an Esper he sees as different has the audacity to turn him away, and Minseok is determined to claim him by any means necessary. What starts as a battle of wills soon turns into something far more dangerous: a burning desire, undeniable attraction that neither can ignore. Enemies on the surface, Seojin and Minseok find themselves drawn together by a bond stronger than either expected. As their disdain/obsession towards each other turns into passion, they must confront their deepest fears and desires—because in the end, they might just be exactly what the other needs.

If we were to use violence here, our reputation would be ruined. The entire world will think we're barbarous savages."She paused, looking around the table."...Our first priority must be to secure peace. At the moment, we have no guarantee that we'll succeed in that goal. Should we fail, however, we cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to panic or fear. Once we've made our decision, we must execute it swiftly and decisively. Above all else, we must avoid letting our emotions dictate our actions. This will require both caution and courage. Let us keep in mind those qualities as we move forward."After a few moments, the delegates fell silent."And so," Director Yoon concluded, "our final decision is to strike at these monsters while they are still weak and unprepared. In other words, we will attack and defeat them before a gate appears randomly
Soo Min puffed out her chest and straightened. "Very well, then."Her voice was loud enough to drown out the voices of the other guests.They assigned us a reserved table at the very front of the room, right next to the podium. It was just large enough to fit six people comfortably."You can't sit like that," Hye Jin said quietly, her voice laced with warning.She'd already taken off her coat and placed it neatly on the seat beside her. She folded her hands atop the table, making sure her fingers didn't touch any part of the surface. Her posture was perfect, head held high.It was a stance that spoke volumes about how confident she was in her own strength.Soo Min, however, sat slouched so far forward that her elbows rested on the table. She toyed absently with her cup of coffee, taking small sips without ever looking up at anyone.I could see the muscles in her face tense up as she desperately tried to project a cool, collected impression.She was trying too hard, which made it worse
"Ugh, just tell me already.""Alright, alright, do you see that cute guy over there? The one with the glasses?" Hye Jin replied, pointing to our right.We all turned towards that direction to have a better look."Yeah, I guess? What does he have to do with anything?" Soo Min asked.The guy, who was sitting alone on the bench, seemed to be having a tough time. His head was low while he kept glancing around, and the few words he muttered were vague. It was obvious he was searching for something, but nobody knew what. He wasn't looking at anyone or anything else, just himself.Hye Jin had a smirk on her face as she said, "You know, I think he might need some company, don't you think, Soo Min?""Well, yeah, but why would he want me to approach him? We're just strangers, and I'm a foreigner."Hye Jin shrugged and smirked, "It's because you guys are pretty, and you look like good friends. All I need is you getting his name and a hug.""Uh, hey!" Soo Min protested. "That's not fair! Why do I
The flight to Geneva was uneventful but tense. The team remained relatively quiet, each member lost in their thoughts.I knew that the initial burst of energy and laughter wouldn't last long. Once they'd settled in, we'd have nothing to do but worry.Soo Min occasionally broke the silence with lighthearted comments, but even she seemed subdued compared to her usual energy.Minseok leaned closer, his presence steady as always. He glanced at me occasionally, as if gauging my mood. “You’ve been quiet,” he remarked after a while.“Just thinking,” I replied, my gaze fixed on the clouds outside the window. “This summit feels... bigger than us.”“It is,” he admitted. “But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a role to play.”He was right. Even if the summit itself didn’t concern us directly, we had our own mission. And we couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.*****The plane touched down smoothly, and we disembarked after making our way to the waiting room. There, we were greeted by a man d
Director Yoona tapped a command on the console, and the holographic display shifted to reveal a world map dotted with red locator pins. “Because the recent surge in monster activity and corruption isn’t confined to our region. Similar patterns have been observed globally, and the situation is escalating.”“Escalating how?” Na Ri asked, leaning forward to get a better view.Director Yoona’s expression hardened. “Entire Guilds have gone dark in some areas. Unidentified monsters are increasing, gates popping up a lot more than it could be expected, and even corrupted Espers are becoming more common. The conference is an emergency summit to discuss a unified response.”The gravity of her words hung heavy in the air. For a moment, no one spoke, the weight of the situation sinking in.“When is this conference?” I finally asked.“We leave in two days,” Dr. Yoona replied. “The summit will be held in Geneva, Switzerland. Representatives from every major Guild and Association will be there. Our
"Relax! I'm just kidding." Minseok laughed.I was stunned. There was nothing I could say. I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to calm my racing heart."I was actually going to say, 'You have to show me how well you can swim before I teach you.'"Minseok's voice was laced with amusement, and he was leaning against the edge of the shore, looking up at me."Aww... but I thought you really meant that." I pouted.He chuckled again, shaking his head. "Sorry to disappoint you.""Is that your way of saying you don't think I can swim?""Definitely." He grinned.Reluctantly, I waded into the water, the cool waves lapping against my legs. Soo Min immediately launched a splash attack, which Na Ri and Hye Jin joined in on. Within minutes, we were engaged in a full-blown water war, the tension from weeks of missions melting away in the playful atmosphere."Hahaha!" I laughed.I'd only ever experienced swimming from the shoreline before. This was my first time diving into a body of water. As
The gentle hum of the ventilation system was the only sound in the briefing room as Soo Min slammed her hands down on the table, startling everyone. Bam!Her usually bright eyes were fired up with determination, a contrast to the fatigue etched into our faces.“We need a break,” she declared, her voice cutting through the tense silence.Of course.What were we thinking when she said she needed to speak to everyone about something important?As if we had any other choice.Even then, I knew things weren't going to end the way we expected.Na Ri raised an eyebrow, glancing at Hye Jin, who looked equally skeptical. I, seated at the head of the table, rubbed my temples, already regretting not dismissing the team sooner.“A break?” I echoed, my tone flat. “We don’t have time for that.”“Oppa! We’ll make time,” Soo Min countered, crossing her arms. “We’ve been running on fumes since the last mission. If we don’t recharge, someone’s going to snap.”I'm already in half as it is. I seriously
“Captain, we need to push forward!” Hye Jin's voice rang out, pulling me back into focus.We had taken care of all the small monsters, and now there were only a few large ones left. And they weren't about to give up without a fight.I turned around to find that the enemy was closing in fast. I could hear the sounds of limbs breaking and bones snapping, blood splattering everywhere.It was pure chaos.There was no way we could win against this army of monsters. I mean, I knew we were fighting the big guns, but the sheer number of monsters was more than we could handle.I looked over at Minseok, wondering if he could sense my doubt. He shook his head firmly, as though he understood how I felt."Don't do it," he said.He stared right into my eyes. His blue eyes, full of emotion, filled with pain and worry. "It'll put a strain on your body.""I know," I replied.My heart ached at his expression. He had a reason why he didn't want me to do it; he was afraid of the consequences. That was un
My vision blurred.Why...? Why would she do that? She tried to kill us! And yet here she is, offering herself up to us?!"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Minseok demanded, looking down at the girl."I'm... I'm sorry..." The girl looked down at the floor, her eyes glistening with tears."Please don't hurt me...""I won't hurt you. We're on your side." Minseok stepped forward, crouching down beside the girl."Iseul," I muttered her name under my breath.I had told myself that I wouldn't read anyone's thoughts without permission—but somehow, I just couldn't resist."H-How did you know that?" Iseul asked, her face turning red as she gaped at me."You called me 'master' earlier, didn't you?""A-Ah...""And you were merely testing me.""Y-Yes...""He's an Esper with telepathic abilities. As you can probably tell, he has no problem reading people's minds. If you try to lie to him, he'll be able to catch you out easily, so please don't test him too much..." Minseok warned, his expressi
Espers... Guides... What are they? I'm not sure how much I should talk about this topic. My name is Han Seojin. It would probably be best if I didn't say anything at all. But here we go. Let me start from the beginning. Twenty years ago, back when I was still seven and living with my parents, I had a pretty rough time of it after an event that scarred my innocence. I don't want to go over details right now; safe to say, it made me lose trust in males and the world around me. This wasn't a problem unique to everyone; no one would ever want such an experience. The difference between me and most people is that I got help and love to overcome most of my trauma. And not just from my family but from the neighborhood as well. Everything had been a little rosy up until a gate opened somewhere in Seoul and a huge number of monsters poured out. It was all over the news, so it seemed weird to have gone unnoticed, but no one could explain where they'd come from or why they were
