=====
A kiss for battle was nothing.
But the subtle tension between lovers was too unfamiliar and awkward for me.
Seeing me falter and struggle to adapt to this relationship, Jae-ha took a step back.
“Let’s take it slow together until you’re ready.”
“How?”
“Like normal couples. How about starting with holding hands?”
“…Okay.”
It started with holding hands when we visited Potato’s empty grave.
Warm hugs and kisses on the forehead followed.
It was a series of ticklish days.
The affectionate touches, like a young bird pecking with its beak, slowly melted my stiff, wooden heart.
Jae-ha must have noticed it too, because at some point, we naturally started waking up together in the same bed.
We didn’t share our bodies, but simply slept together and woke up at the same time.
It wasn’t like there was only one bed in the spacious house, but somehow it ended up that way without me realizing it.
‘I’ve experienced this countless times before when we fought together on the front lines.’
Being so close in the quiet house with just the two of us made my heart flutter uncontrollably.
‘Damn it. Heart, don’t act up.’
Trying to calm my heart was useless. What’s the point of pretending to be calm on the outside? His S-Class hearing can hear everything.
Just as I was worried that he might have noticed my emotional turmoil, Jae-ha hugged me tighter.
“…Don’t be embarrassed.”
“Huh?”
“Because the more you do that, the less I can hold back.”
Before I could ask what he meant, Jae-ha’s chest was pressed close to my ear.
The loud sound of his heartbeat echoed powerfully like a drum.
It was a sound I could hear even if we weren’t close.
Hearing it with our bodies pressed together made my whole body feel hot.
“W-What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly like this?”
I was flustered and tried to push Jae-ha away, but he didn’t budge.
Instead, he held me even tighter and whispered into my red-hot ear.
“What about you?”
“……”
“You’re just as loud.”
“Y-You…”
“If I do this, my sound will be louder, so it’ll be less embarrassing for you, right?”
He needs to make sense.
“Isn’t it just because you want to hug me?”
“…No, it’s not.”
“Sure, it isn’t.”
Just looking at our hands, locked together like a padlock, it was obvious he had no intention of letting go easily.
Jae-ha avoided my eyes and told a clumsy lie that he wasn’t even good at.
When I glared at him, I saw that his neck was flushed red.
Through the thin pajamas he was wearing, I could feel his tense muscles and heated body temperature.
In addition, something large and hard that brushed against my thighs and stomach startled me.
The immense presence filling his pants made me choke out, “You…”
Is this what he meant by not being able to hold back?
Hyeon Jae-ha is trembling because of me.
That alone made me feel hot.
It felt like my whole body and mind were on fire.
I thought he had no sexual desire at all, treating me casually like hugging a body pillow…
I was completely wrong. It was the opposite.
Seeing me flustered and unable to say anything, just fidgeting timidly, Jae-ha chuckled.
“Do you know how long I’ve been celibate while you were gone?”
“…Jae-ha.”
“So, just go along with me when I’m trying to be as gentlemanly as possible. Don’t avoid me just because you’re embarrassed.”
Was this why he was hugging me so tightly, so I couldn’t escape?
I was embarrassed that he could read me so easily, but at the same time, it wasn’t bad.
Hyeon Jae-ha was the same as ever.
I couldn’t hide anything from him. To others, it might seem like I was on top of Hyeon Jae-ha, but the reality was different. The place I was sitting was on Hyeon Jae-ha’s palm. He was the only one who could read my emotions that I didn’t want to be exposed, and he pretended to be spoiled, telling me to rely on him if I was having a hard time.
I liked Hyeon Jae-ha like that.
Hyeon Jae-ha was the one who tied me down, who had been floating alone in the world like a duckweed.
Even with his body still aroused, Hyeon Jae-ha prioritized me.
“…If it’s too hard for you, we can do it now.”
“I’m not okay.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to rush into our first time together after being reunited with you, like a ravenous beast. I want to be with you, when you’re ready, not just for Guiding.”
Not Guiding as a means to lower Corruption Level, but simply because I love you.
Hearing Jae-ha’s gentle voice, like a mature adult, made my lower abdomen tingle.
It was because I couldn’t help but remember.
What kind of moans Jae-ha made when we had close contact Guiding in emergency situations.
He wants to do that without Guiding.
It was the best sexual appeal I could hear from an Esper who craved Guiding without any special reason.
I knew that the other guys in the unit knew that it was like a dedication that they gave to their loved ones with affectionate eyes….
But when I received it from Jae-ha, I felt an indescribable chill and thrill.
I hate to admit it, but my expectations swelled.
‘Am I too starved?’
When I couldn’t say anything and just hung my head, Jae-ha chuckled.
“Are you hard?”
“What?! N-No, I’m not!”
“You are.”
“Shut up, you pervert!”
I screamed and kicked Hyeon Jae-ha out of bed, using a pillow as a weapon to beat him.
Unfortunately, Hyeon Jae-ha was right.
That night, I had to go to the bathroom alone and wash my underwear.
“Aish.”
And I decided.
“I need to pick a day and get it over with.”
Once I became aware of it, my desires soared uncontrollably. I also wanted to roll around with Hyeon Jae-ha.
It’s all because of Hyeon Jae-ha.
‘…That was just a few days ago.’
I’m screwed.
The reporters’ enthusiasm didn’t seem to be waning, as they were camped out in front of my house every day, waiting with wide eyes.
“These guys are relentless.”
In addition to the reporters, my phone was also on fire.
The Secrety members had figured out that I wasn’t Yeon Yu-jin halfway through and had no choice but to tell the truth, but the President of HB Entertainment and my manager, Hyung Hyeon-soo, didn’t.
[Y-Y-Y-Y-Yu-jin? Are you really An Ga-hyeon Guide’s reincarnation (is that right?)? A-Are you?]
[Yu-jin, you were actually the 1st generation hero Hunter An Ga-hyeon Guide who was reported to be dead…? Haha, is this like a hidden camera? …Is it real? Then you’re never coming back as a Secrety member? ㅠㅠ]
In addition, countless messages from industry officials were constantly vibrating my phone.
Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and turned off my phone completely.
Seeing this, Jae-ha was going to get a phone since he had regained his identity, but he stopped. He said it would be annoying if something similar happened to him, so it would be okay to do it after the heat of curiosity died down.
“Haaa.”
It was a ridiculous situation.
“It’s not a Dungeon, it’s not a monster, but I’m afraid of people and can’t go outside.”
Reporters were truly the most persistent and venomous creatures I had ever seen among humans and monsters.
They were camped out in front of my house, even ordering food delivery, with the firm intention of waiting until Jae-ha and I came out, and we were both fed up with it.
“This is why I didn’t want to reveal my identity.”
When I had just possessed Yeon Yu-jin’s body, I wanted to live as ‘An Ga-hyeon’ as soon as possible.
Now, I just wanted to live quietly and normally with Jae-ha, like ordinary people.
That was all we wanted….
The government and the Hunter Management Department had publicized the Ban No-ah case to the public more extensively than I had expected, which made things worse.
The fact that Secrety, the group Yeon Yu-jin belonged to, was gaining popularity after breaking away from the Failed Idol image also played a part.
Fans and haters alike were hooked on this amazing story and hoped to hear more of our story.
[Any news on Yeon Yu-jin aka An Ga-hyeon Guide?]**
Well, my cousin’s friend is a reporter and I asked him, but he said he hasn’t seen them for the past few days ⤷ It’s not just the Ga(hyeon)Jae(ha) couple, all the White Tiger Unit members who had their identities erased and were working in the shadows have requested that people refrain from excessive mentions as they want to live quietly ⤷ O_O What’s the Ga(hyeon)Jae(ha) couple
⤷ Ga(hyeon)Jae(ha) couple
⤷ Ew, I know there are a lot of same-sex couples among Esper Guides, but a gay couple is ridiculous?
⤷ Who cares, they look good together
⤷ 22 They look good together, and if you didn’t save the world, shut your mouth ⤷ (Comment deleted by poster)
Even if Yeon Yu-jin doesn’t come back to Secrety and retires, I hope they show us Ga-hyeon and Jae-ha being lovey-dovey. It would be even better if they came out on a Hunter dating show ⤷ Would they do that
⤷ Would they do that 222
⤷ There’s no reason for the two of them, who are now ranked among the top in the world, to appear in the media. First of all, the hardships they’ve gone through are on another level ⤷ Forget all that, I want to know how they reincarnated??? According to the tabloids, that’s what the chairmen of the chaebols are most curious about these days?
⤷ I’m curious about that too
⤷ I’m also curious about when Yeon Yu-jin became An Ga-hyeon Guide… I thought he was a trashy Failed Idol, but he was an SSS-Class Guide, it’s like a mass-produced novel [Seo Yun-chae: Your love life is exploding in popularity these days?]
