TTOA Chapter 41

“I feel the same way. No matter what, I think I would have ended up with Jae-jin like this. Even if Jae-jin wasn’t a Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide and was born as a formally registered Esper, becoming my Guide earlier, wouldn’t it have ended up like this anyway?”
“…….”
“I would have always wanted Jae-jin. And I would have achieved it in some way.”
Is that so…
Would they have ended up like this eventually…?
Whether Kwon Jae-jin regressed or didn’t, whether he was a Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide or not, whatever happened… would they have ended up together eventually…?
No. It seems like too optimistic of a thought, but at this point, there’s no need to argue. Kwon Jae-jin knows all too well how desperately Seo Eui-woo craves him.
“Yes, then let’s just… say that’s how it is.”
“It’s not just saying it; that’s how it is.”
Seo Eui-woo spread his palm. An invisible, intense power gathered in his hand in a spiral shape.
It stirred up a fierce whirlwind, gradually condensing and gathering into a single point.
“…….”
Kwon Jae-jin silently closed his eyes.
If Seo Eui-woo could just read all of Kwon Jae-jin’s memories, it might be easier to be completely open about the past.
Then, there would be no barriers between them.
Seo Eui-woo wouldn’t need to try to figure out the four years he doesn’t know,
and Kwon Jae-jin wouldn’t need to long for the lost four years.
‘Maybe it should have been like this from the beginning…’
It’s good that he made the decision even now.
All the lights in the house flickered and went out. The TV, which was tuned to the news channel, also crackled and the screen went black.
It was as if thunder was raging in the living room.
The solidly condensed and gathered power exuded a tremendous presence.
The suppressed monster that had grown with Seo Eui-woo, the deep, dark thing writhing in the abyss, stretched and rose. As he took his time and more persistently drew out the power, a mass of power that was incomparably stronger and purer than before was forged, more brilliant and radiant than any existing jewel.
It was an invisible but felt, unknowable but frightening power.
Seo Eui-woo took a long, deep breath and embraced Kwon Jae-jin. Jae-jin surrendered his body to him without resistance. He relaxed his limbs and quietly submitted, waiting for Seo Eui-woo’s invasion that would soon dig into his core.
“I’m going in.”
His fingertip touched the center of his forehead. Soon, he was deeply swept into his memories.

02. 1st Timeline Seo Eui-woo
6th Residential District. A dark night with dim moonlight.
The streetlights illuminating the alleyway exploded one by one, and the lights flickered wildly. The uncontrolled power surged, crushing everything around it.
Seo Eui-woo had long surpassed his limits and had no choice but to move according to his instincts.
Somewhere, a faint pull was felt. The dark and unstable great abyss persistently searched for the existence of a Guide who was right for him.
It was a forbidden act for an Esper to enter a civilian residential area without permission. That’s how it should be in principle, but Seo Eui-woo couldn’t afford to be picky right now. The power he was born with was shaking his whole body and shouting at full power.
It’s there.
In that place, his Guide is there.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Seo Eui-woo grabbed the targeted person in an instant, like a bird of prey.
He relentlessly strangled Kwon Jae-jin and pushed him deep into the dark alley.
“Cough!”
There was no need to check, but he pressed his chest once to see if he had found the right person.
Inside Kwon Jae-jin’s heart, a small, incomplete Core was felt.
It was a Core that only Espers could have. Most are born with it, but sometimes, like this, it develops late and they become a Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide.
“That’s right. It’s you.”
“Ugh, Keuk……. What…….”
“My Guide.”
As he approached Kwon Jae-jin’s Core, Seo Eui-woo’s Core vibrated in his chest as if resonating. It was perfect. It was a perfect match to the point where a torrent of fierce joy poured out.
“E, Esper-nim……. I think, you’ve mistaken, something. Please, let go.”
Kwon Jae-jin spat out the words with difficulty. He wasn’t strangling him that hard, but he seemed to be in pain. But whatever the case, Seo Eui-woo didn’t care. He wanted to Guide with his Guide so badly that he felt like the Core/Haek in his heart would burst.
He was beside himself with the desire to suck his mucous membranes and shove his dick inside as soon as possible.
“No, I’m not mistaken. Should we check now? Whether you are the Guide who matches me or not.”
Quickly, quickly, hurry, quickly!
“Your mouth.”
If he had his way, he would rip off Kwon Jae-jin’s clothes and pounce on him right here and now. However, this is the 6th Residential District. If he gets caught, Kwon Jae-jin will be killed immediately, and Seo Eui-woo will not be able to avoid disciplinary action. No, maybe it won’t end with just disciplinary action. He may also be judged as uncontrollable and be culled.
Seo Eui-woo forcibly pried open Kwon Jae-jin’s mouth. He had to suck his tongue, but the Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide in front of him didn’t seem to understand his situation yet. He resisted by clenching his teeth, so Seo Eui-woo felt a moment of bewilderment.
He had never heard of or seen a Guide refusing Guiding.
It was the Guide’s duty and reason for existence. It’s the Esper’s mission.
Ah…… um, is it because he’s a Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide?
Seo Eui-woo swallowed his trivial questions and twisted Kwon Jae-jin’s jaw joint open with a gloved hand. As he forcibly pushed his tongue in and made contact with the mucous membrane inside his mouth, his instincts trembled with pure white ecstasy. It was an irresistible temptation.
He was going to just check it out and take him to the Special Residential District right away, but he couldn’t take his mouth off him. He felt like he had to suck the other’s tongue, and lick, rub, and chafe until it was all worn away.
This was far from enough.
“Euheuk, get away, Huk…… haa!”
“Mmm…….”
Seo Eui-woo, who had been biting and sucking Jae-jin’s tongue for a while, slowly fell away. A viscous thread stretched between their tongues and then snapped. Seo Eui-woo licked it up and swallowed it as if even that was precious.
“See, it works. Guiding…….”
Seo Eui-woo murmured, curving his long, horizontal eyes.
He was so thrilled with the tingling joy that he felt like he would stop breathing right away.
His whole body felt like it was floating, and naturally, a radiant smile formed on his lips. He fluttered his thin, long, beautiful eyelashes and finally looked straight at Kwon Jae-jin’s face. Until just now, he hadn’t had the presence of mind to even grasp Kwon Jae-jin’s appearance.
Kwon Jae-jin was wearing a perfectly fitting suit and tie, had black, neat, straight hair, and his silently shining eyes were also as black and hard as darkness. The shape of his features was clear and distinct.
At a glance, he was a very unwavering and upright person.
Even though he was panting roughly, the expression with which he glared at Seo Eui-woo itself didn’t change much. He basically doesn’t express his emotions well and seems to be expressionless.
Indeed, an S-rank Guide has this kind of face.
It was the first time he had seen one.
The pinnacle of existing Guides. The first S-rank Guide.
It was only regrettable that he had awakened as a Mutant/Late-Blooming Esper/Guide.
“You’re the Guide who matches me. You’ve been stuck in a corner like this all along, so I couldn’t find you.”
Seo Eui-woo whispered contentedly and grabbed Kwon Jae-jin’s neck. If he screamed, it would be troublesome, so with the reason he had left, he was going to quickly return with instantaneous coordinate movement.
“No. Keuheuk, Guide, there’s no way, Heok……. First, that, Geueuk, let go of this hand, let go! I can’t breathe…….”
Kwon Jae-jin twisted his body and tried to escape from his grasp. Seo Eui-woo pressed Jae-jin’s chest against the alley wall and gave him strength so that he couldn’t move. Kwon Jae-jin kicked Seo Eui-woo to try to kick him away, but of course, it wasn’t a big threat.
“Haha. I’m telling you it’s right.”
Seo Eui-woo felt like he could subdue Kwon Jae-jin with one hand if he wanted to, and if he wanted to more, he could make him unable to move with just telekinesis without using his hands.
But he didn’t really want to suppress him that much.
He had finally met his Guide, and he felt so good just from the Guiding he had done a little while ago.
“My Guide. You’re my Guide…….”
Seo Eui-woo didn’t hesitate and immediately moved the coordinates. A flash of white light burst in the alley stained with darkness as if a flash had gone off.
“Let’s do Guiding quickly.”
The view changed in an instant, as if passing through a narrow tube and out into a wide space. It was Seo Eui-woo’s seaside mansion bedroom in the Special Residential District, with walls and ceilings all surrounded by glass.
Seo Eui-woo was used to coordinate movement, so he nonchalantly pounced on Kwon Jae-jin on the bed, but Kwon Jae-jin was not. He seems to be feeling dizzy because it’s the first time he’s experienced coordinate movement. If you experience it a few times, you’ll get used to it quickly, but the first time, the reversed physical senses are unfamiliar, so it can be difficult.
“Eu, Aaa…….”
Kwon Jae-jin looked around the bedroom with unfocused eyes. He hadn’t grasped how the place had suddenly changed, and he seemed to be out of his mind because he was dizzy.
