TTOA Chapter 100

“Wait, stop for a moment…”

Seo Eui-woo detached his tongue. A transparent thread connected their lips. Seo Eui-woo licked and swallowed the severed saliva with a sensual tongue. His lips were glistening. Just like his gray eyes.

“Don’t stop. Kiss me again.”

“No, it’s okay to stop now.”

“Jae-jin. I’m not okay.”

Seo Eui-woo called Kwon Jae-jin resolutely and wrapped his arm deeply around his waist. A slightly warm hand lifted the hem of his t-shirt and crawled inside.

“I, I need Guiding.”

“…?”

“Guiding.”

His mind went blank for a moment.

“…Now?”

“When else would it be?”

Seo Eui-woo was facing Jae-jin with a completely serious expression.

“I’ve been scattering my ability that much, so I need Guiding. Moreover, I have to go and mess with those generals’ heads, so I can’t just go around throwing around that much ability without Guiding.”

“…”

“I have to protect Jae-jin, you know. I have to.”

“…”

“I’m going to change Jae-jin’s fate. I… Seo Eui-woo will.”

His two eyes were intensely serious. They were hot like white-hot metal, and it seemed like heat haze was shimmering around his eyes.

In a moment of bewilderment, Seo Eui-woo kissed him again. The hand that had burrowed inside his clothes slid up his side and grabbed his chest. Moreover, he inserted his thigh between his legs and made their crotches touch. Seo Eui-woo’s pants were already heavy. A thick, long outline was clearly protruding.

It was Seo Eui-woo who was horny all the time, but he didn’t expect it at this moment, in this place. He needed time to react.

“W-wait. Seo Eui-woo. Just a moment.”

If it’s Guiding, how much is he going to do?

Is he really going to put his dick in here?

Kissing is fine, but Seo Eui-woo’s clinging felt ominous. He couldn’t guess what he was planning to do. Kwon Jae-jin, who had turned pale, stopped Seo Eui-woo for now.

“I said wait. Stop.”

As he pushed his shoulders with both hands and twisted his waist, an unpleasant wrinkle formed on Seo Eui-woo’s nose. He looked like he was more distressed than death at Kwon Jae-jin rejecting him. He glared fiercely.

“Why are you doing this? Did I… did I do something wrong?”

“It’s not that. It’s not that.”

“I didn’t kill anyone, you know. Not even Ma Tae-o. I only crushed that bastard’s bones, but I left him breathing. I endured well. I left everyone alive, so why…”

“…”

Jae-jin, speechless, closed his mouth in a straight line.

In fact, he was right. Espers crave Guiding every time they use their abilities. Seo Eui-woo, who had been in a frenzy a moment ago, exploded his abilities in all directions, and since he had released that much power, it was the right timing for Guiding. Furthermore, as he said, he had to use Mental-type Ability, so he had to do it now.

But still, even so, now…?

In this wide-open sea…?

Kwon Jae-jin frowned. He looked around with a troubled expression. Everywhere he looked, it was wide open.

Seo Eui-woo clung to him as if he didn’t understand why Kwon Jae-jin was hesitating. He grabbed the pushing hands, wrapped them around his shoulders, and indiscriminately kissed his cheeks and eyes.

“You know, Jae-jin.”

As he whispered while licking his eyelids, the inside of his eyes vibrated whenever he spoke.

“Until now, Guiding was for me. It was an act only for me, to resolve my imbalances.”

“What…? Ugh, what are you talking about?”

“But now I understand. It’s not that… Guiding is for Jae-jin and me, for us.”

“Out of the blue…? Huh?”

“No, it’s not out of the blue. In fact, it was like that from the beginning. It’s just that I hadn’t realized it.”

“…”

“We decided to live properly together, didn’t we? We decided to turn everything upside down. Only then did I realize. My ability was for this moment.”

“…”

“Guiding is the same. It’s not for me. It’s for both of us. It means nothing without Jae-jin.”

“…”

“The meaning of my being born as an Esper, the reason for my ability’s existence, that’s Kwon Jae-jin.”

At those words, Jae-jin widened his eyes.

He blinked once, then reacted like someone who had been caught off guard.

Guiding isn’t for Seo Eui-woo?

Guiding… for the two of them…?

He had never even thought of that.

It was shocking. The content of Seo Eui-woo’s words kept circling in his head.

“Guiding is…”

“Guiding…”

Not once. Not even once.

He had never thought that he was Guiding for Kwon Jae-jin.

Forcibly, reluctantly, inevitably, because Seo Eui-woo wanted it, because he was an Esper, because he was born that way.

He had accepted everything and was okay now, but there were definitely parts that he had done reluctantly.

But…

“…”

Jae-jin, unable to continue, finally closed his mouth again. He wanted to say something appropriate, but nothing came to mind, as if his head had turned white. He was just surprised, and his heart was pounding. His chest was vibrating, and his fingertips were tingling.

If Kwon Jae-jin had chosen to run away with Seo Eui-woo, he would never have known this.

If he had left with Seo Eui-woo, his absolute ability would have been buried somewhere in the mountains of the 6th Residential District. Esper or Guide, regardless of such things, they would have lived a simple life together and ended it.

But Kwon Jae-jin couldn’t run away, didn’t run away, and persuaded Seo Eui-woo. As a result, Seo Eui-woo returned as a sword that cuts the sky. Feeling disillusioned with the Esper society, he tore off his leash and was no longer a weapon for the nation, the military, or humanity.

His ability is to overturn Kwon Jae-jin’s fate and is the power for the two of them to live a proper life.

So, Guiding was the same.

If Kwon Jae-jin Guides Seo Eui-woo, it’s for the two of them.

Until now, Guiding had been something he reluctantly provided when he was pushed into it, or it was an act resembling sexual intercourse, so it was ambiguous whether it was sex or Guiding, doing both at the same time. However, he clearly realized today that there was a clear distinction in this act.

Guiding was, that kind of thing.

Now, when Kwon Jae-jin Guides Seo Eui-woo… it has that kind of meaning.

For Kwon Jae-jin, to fix the fate he was born with as a Mutant, to turn the world upside down and fight against it.

“Jae-jin, let’s do Guiding.”

Seo Eui-woo’s voice shook his heart.

“Guide me.”

“…I understand.”

Jae-jin nodded without resistance.

“Let’s just, change the location, and do it.”

“Location? To where?”

“That… the mansion is.”

“No way. It’s already exposed to the Center.”

Is it just exposed? The walls are broken and it’s a mess, and Espers are collapsing outside. It was impossible to go back there.

“…Then just, haa.”

In the end, Jae-jin let out a regretful sound. His ears turned hot with embarrassment.

“No, well, I’ve never, never thought of doing it outdoors…”

“…”

“If it’s a bit more hidden… behind a tree, or something.”

“…A tree?”

“…”

“…A tree?”

At those words, Seo Eui-woo burst out laughing. His hard face, which had been extremely grim due to the sudden attack, finally relaxed.

“A tree is okay? Is that all you need?”

“…Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t know.”

“I understand. A tree.”

Immediately after that, a sparkling white light spread. The scenery changed with the coordinate movement. Fortunately, it was land, and there were several trees with wide branches. Seo Eui-woo chuckled as he leaned Kwon Jae-jin against a thick tree trunk. Then, laughter kept erupting, and he snickered.

“Jae-jin, you’ve never done it outdoors before, have you? Is it your first time?”

“…Of course.”

“That’s right, you’ve been locked up in the mansion for four years, so of course, that’s right, isn’t it?”

“…I know, why do you keep saying it?”

“Then doing it outside will be the first time with me, right?”

“…”

“It’s another first with Eui-woo, right? Huh?”

“…”

Before he knew it, Seo Eui-woo’s cheeks were stained with his color. He felt relieved for some reason. The tension was also relieved. Until a moment ago, he was unconsciously watching him because he was so grim. He was also inwardly afraid of the thought that he had been caught. Jae-jin let out a deep sigh.

“Haa… Seo Eui-woo, don’t get excited again.”

“It’s not that I’m trying to get excited, it’s that Jae-jin is making me excited.”

Seo Eui-woo smirked. He was impatient and kissed him somewhat violently. He ruthlessly pressed his lips down and forced his tongue into the gap. He blatantly sucked on the already wet mucous membrane inside his mouth, soaking it again. The hand that was taking off his pants was desperate.

“I really like Jae-jin so much.”
