The Guide Is Fixing His Regrets

So-Won was buried under the blanket, but he couldn’t open or close his eyes properly. 

His hands and feet felt cold and his body trembled. 

So-Won felt cool felt like he is back at the cold operating room.

At this point, So-Won is lying down in the operating room where Tae-Woo died.  So-Won thought it was like a prison, as he kept feeling a bloody smell somewhere.

So-Won looked in the direction where Tae-Woo’s room would be. 

When So-Won opened that door, he thought of Tae-Woo.
He would be dead with a large hole in his stomach. 

Maybe the smell of blood is flowing in from there or maybe it’s all a fantasy, and now he’s still in the operating room. 

Holding the dead Tae-Woo’s hand in his.

When So-Won thought of his cold and hard hands, he heard a ringing in his ears. 

So-Won covered his ears with trembling hands, but still a sharp hallucination bothered So-Won. 

In the dark room, So-Won trembled with fear alone. 

He is curled up while covered in the blanket, while his eyes were filled with fear.

In order to soothe the fear, So-Won tried to recall his recent happy memories. 

A celebration party with parents for being accepted in the Esper Association, which was headed with excitement, and Tae-Woo, who is breathing.

It reminded So-Won of the moment when he fell asleep while guiding Tae-Woo in his private room. 

Curiously, So-Won didn’t have nightmares then. 

Rather than feeling anxious, So-Won slept comfortably with his eyes closed and sat down.
 

So-Won mumble “Guiding.”

Guiding was necessary.

It was not Tae-Woo but So-Won that needed to guide now.

 It was a funny thing to say. 

It’s not and Esper, but it’s a guide who needs guiding. 

However, only Tae-Woo’s fierce waves seemed to be able to defeat So-Won’s nightmare. 

So-Won checked the time by wriggling his body tightly wrapped in a blanket. 

‘One o’clock in the morning It was a little late to visit him.
Is he sleeping?’ So-Won thought.

So-Won quietly opened the door and checked Tae-Woo’s room across the room. 

The light could not be seen through the gap in the door, perhaps because the light was turned off.
So-Won’s expression became gloomy.

So-Won couldn’t believe he was awake. 

However, So-Won could not easily give up his lingering feelings.
He recalled Tae-Woo, who answered the phone at 4 a.m.

So-Won, who came out of the room, snooped in front of Tae-Woo’s room. 

He was doing that for a long time, but he couldn’t hear anything in Tae-Woo’s room.
It was only quiet. 

Because of the soundproofing, it seemed that even if there was a sound inside, it would not be known from outside. 

So-Won finally decided to knock on the door. 

He would tap it really soft and give up if there’s no answer.

So-Won lifted his slender arms. 

Rather than knocking, the sound sounded like a small bird accidentally knocked on the window. 

It was such a small sound that it was hard for even an awake person to hear, but Tae-Woo clearly heard it. 

“Come on in” Tae-Woo said.

So-Won’s expression brightened by the low sound from the inside. 

He sounded the same as usual, it looks like he is not sleeping. 

So-Won opened the door. 

The light was off, but Tae-Woo was well visible thanks to the moonlight coming through the window.

Tae-Woo was sitting on the bed looking at So-Won. 

The messy blanket on the bed showed traces of lying down until just now. 

So-Won interrupted Tae-Woo who was about to sleep. 

It seems that So-Won woke him up before Tae-Woo went to bed. 

Now, he became a little sorry.

“What’s the matter?” Tae-Woo asked.

“I’m going to guide you…” So-Won replied.

So-Won blurted out the end of his words because he seemed to be talking to Tae-Woo as if he was being generous when So-Won was  actually the one who needed to guide. 

So-Won, who was waiting for Tae-Woo’s answer, found Tae-Woo’s outfit, which revealed his arm as it was, unlike usual. 

It was the first time to see Tae-Woo wearing a short sleeve. 

That alone is very embarrassing, but the guiding machine attached to the bare skin made So-Won more embarrassed.

So-Won became uneasy. 

He thought that Tae-Woo would kick him out since he came in the middle of the night, but he has a machine guide. 

Then So-Won had to go back to his room and suffer from nightmares. 

So-Won, who became noticeably sullen, glanced at the guiding machine attached to Tae-Woo’s body.

Only then did Tae-Woo realize that he was using a machine guide. 

As soon as the door opened, Tae-Woo felt So-Won’s guiding that could not be compared to a guiding machine, so he forgot. 

Tae-Woo hurriedly grabbed several strings attached to his body at once and took them off.

“Please.” Tae-Woo said.

“Oh, don’t get up!” So-Won replied.

When Tae-Woo tried to get out of bed, So-Won was surprised and stopped him. 

So-Won doesn’t want Tae-Woo to move to his seat because he is the one who came to him in the middle of the night and interfered with his rest.

“I think you were resting.
So I’ll just do it in bed.” So-Won said.

So-Won took a step into the room. 

Tae-Woo’s room had a stronger body odor than anywhere else. 

The smell made So-Won feel at ease for some reason. 

So-Won didn’t even start the guide, but he felt like he was already falling asleep.

Tae-Woo’s bed was very big. 

So-Won knew that Tae-Woo was lying alone, but when he approached him closely, the size was clearly different from that of a regular bed. 

Thinking of Tae-Woo’s height, 2m is likely to be tall.
So-Won, who was convinced, climbed on the bed. 

The mattress was soft and firmly supported So-Won’s body. 

The soft bedding touching the bare skin made So-Won’s heart soft just by touching it.

So-Won fiddled with the expensive-looking bedding, but he withdrew his hand because he felt Tae-Woo’s gaze from the side.

Instead, So-Won looked around Tae-Woo’s room pretending to be seated.

Tae-Woo’s big room came into view at a glance. 

So-Won looked around Tae-Woo’s room, which he had never seen before, with curious eyes he looked around.
The large space was cold. 

The only thing in the room was a big bed and a guiding machine. 

There was also a space that looked like a dress room and a bathroom, but the inside was not visible.

It was a room that felt empty overall rather than neat. 

So-Won quickly lost interest and leaned on the bedhead. 

Looking at the horizontal room, it was easy to imagine how simple the dress room and bathroom would be. 

Tae-Woo’s room wasn’t the only one like this. 

Everything felt like this except for his room, where So-Won’s thing was cluttered. 

The empty house was desolate as if it were uninhabited.

After looking around, So-Won looked at Tae-Woo to guide him. 

Tae-Woo’s face was still not visible, but So-Won could see that Tae-Woo was looking at him.

“I’ll be your guide.” So-Won felt a little stiff because he thought he had looked around the room too openly. 

So-Won reached out his hand first. 

In Tae-Woo’s eyes, it was a white, small palm that looked infinitely fragile. 

Tae-Woo quietly stared at So-Won’s palm without raising his hand immediately, and then he slipped his hand under it. 

It was an act of extreme caution.

Then Tae-Woo saw his arm. 

Unlike So-Won’s white and clean arms, Tae-Woo’s thick arms were disgusting because countless veins was popping around. 

Today, the veins sticking out are starting to bother Tae-Woo more. 

Tae-Woo thought about changing into clothes that cover his arms even now, but he remembered the moment when So-Won’s head touched his arm in the private room. 

Tae-Woo, who was disappointed at that time, decided to be greedy for just one day.

The backs of their hands gently touched each other in the air.

So-Won was rather stabilized. 

So-Won felt the ferocious wave that made sure Tae-Woo isl alive.

It was the guiding that So-Won wanted to feel.

Sowon is now relieved. 

As the tension eased, So-Won began to feel sleepy. 

So-Won couldn’t think of any more nightmares that bothered him until a while ago. 

Right next to Tae-Woo he didn’t even feel scared. 

Now So-Won didn’t know if he wasn’t afraid or if his drowsy brain was oblivious to fear, but So-Won just felt comfortable at this moment.

The hand So-Won encountered in the air was now down on the bed. 

So-Won felt the warmth felt under the back of his hand and peeped at Tae-Woo’s arm, which was revealed differently than usual. 

So-Won could see skin full of dark red veins, not black sleeves. 

It was the first time to see Tae-Woo’s arm properly, which had always been covered.

Tae-Woo’s arms were muscular as they were physically reinforced. 

The thick pillar-like arms aroused curiosity to touch rather than gross.

So-Won just wondered if it would be hard or as soft as the chest he touched during the guided inspection.

“Tae-Woo, can I touch it?” So-Won asked.

“What do you mean?” Tae-Woo answered, confused.

“Arm… This.” So-Won replied.

So-Won asked the question first, but he was wary. 

If he touched his arm, he had no choice but to touch the veins that filled it. 

“The appearance covered with disgusting blood vessels is terrible.” Tae-Woo said.

It seemed that Tae-woo wouldn’t be very pleased to have someone else’s hand touch the veins that caused him to be called a monster.
