After leaving the Guide Association, I bought some simple clothes nearby and returned home.
Because of the unexpected encounter with Jo Woo-yeon, I ended up returning home a bit late. I quietly opened the front door, glancing around cautiously, but fortunately, Vasily’s shoes were not in sight.
He must not have returned yet. Relieved, I stepped inside.
I organized my new clothes and went to bed early.
I blinked blankly while staring at the dark ceiling. I hadn’t realized that the moment of lying in bed alone could be this precious. Even though I had only slept in Vasily’s room for a few days, the memory of the last time I slept comfortably felt like a distant dream. Moreover, since I was wearing pajamas today instead of a suit, the comfort was doubled.
Checking the time and seeing there was still a long way until midnight, I closed my eyes. Vasily said he would be back before midnight, so if I fell asleep before then, he would likely pass by without waking me.
Expecting a perfect rest, I fell asleep in a pleasant mood, but…
Click.
My eyes snapped open at the sound of the front door opening. The sound of dress shoes coming from outside soon changed into quiet footsteps.
What time is it? Seeing that it was dark outside the window, it wasn’t morning yet. I quietly picked up my smartphone to check the time.
3:00 AM.
He said he’d be back before midnight; he’s late.
It was rare for him, as he always strictly kept his appointments, to be late. However, it was none of my business why he returned late. Ignoring the presence outside, I closed my eyes to fall asleep again.
Since I had been sleeping until just now, my consciousness quickly drifted away. Just as I was almost asleep, the bedroom door opened quietly with a creak.
Through my faint consciousness, I felt Vasily staring at my face. Now that he’s confirmed I’m asleep, he’ll probably leave. Just as I was about to let go of my thin thread of consciousness, Vasily flopped down on top of me.
“Ugh!”
My breath was cut off as I was crushed by his heavy body. I woke up instantly.
“What are you doing!”
“Seeing Guide Kwon Gi-dam-ssi sleeping made me sleepy too.”
“Then go sleep in your own room, Esper-nim!”
“Hmm…”
Vasily blatantly ignored my words and settled in comfortably. His chest pressed down on my solar plexus, making it even harder to breathe. Thinking I might die again at this rate, I decided to push Vasily off first.
“Enough. Get up for now. I can’t breathe.”
I barely managed to lift my arms and pushed his body away. However, I frowned at the cold body temperature transmitted through his clothes.
“Don’t tell me you went to a Gate alone?”
“I cleared all the Gates scheduled until next week. It took a bit of time because the last Gate opened late.”
“Why did you do such a thing! Your wavelength is a mess!”
When I raised my voice to nag him, Vasily let out a low sound as if his head were ringing. Seeing this, I lowered my voice, and he leaned his face against my shoulder and spoke.
“I didn’t want my time with Guide Kwon Gi-dam-ssi to be interrupted.”
Even with his wavelength in shambles, Vasily maintained a relaxed attitude. On the other hand, my mind began to race.
Come to think of it, he said he had rampaged not long ago. He, who had never rampaged once in six years, rampaged here in less than a year after forming a pair?
If they had been in a romantic relationship, there was no way guiding would have been insufficient. If so, perhaps the Vasily of this world had a constitution that was prone to rampaging.
An ominous feeling washed over me along with the cold breath brushing against the nape of my neck.
No way… is he going to rampage again?
After meeting death inside a Gate while caught up in Vasily’s rampage, I didn’t have the courage to face a rampaging Vasily again.
Of course, I didn’t have to think complicatedly; there was a way to prevent a rampage. Guiding.
The instinct of not wanting to provide guiding to Vasily despite such an easy method clashed with the feeling that a rampage must be avoided at all costs.
While my thoughts grew complicated, Vasily’s cold wavelength continued to flow into me. After agonizing for a while, I finally steeled myself.
…It can’t be helped. I’ll just have to close my eyes and do the guiding.
If I had to choose between stopping an S-class Esper’s rampage and providing guiding, it was obviously the latter. I sighed and opened my mouth.
“Esper Vasily-nim, how is your condition?”
“Well… maybe because it’s been a while since I used my abilities, I’m a bit dizzy.”
“Then I will provide guiding for you.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Vasily lifted his head and asked.
“Will you be okay? Your physical condition probably isn’t great yet.”
“I received treatment, so once should be fine.”
My injured thigh throbbed, but as long as I didn’t intentionally press on the wound, it was fine. Since quite some time had passed since I received the antidote, the monster’s blood that had seeped into my body should have been neutralized to some extent.
I thought he would accept the offer immediately, but no answer came from Vasily for a long time. Feeling puzzled, I met his eyes. He was observing me in silence.
Looking at the gaze that quietly observed me, I realized belatedly. He was recalling how I had been trembling pathetically in fear just before the guiding started last time.
At that time, the situation overlapped with the feeling of being forced into guiding as if being raped, and my body had frozen instinctively. It wasn’t that I was perfectly fine now, but there were no other options. It would be better than a rampage.
It was a relief that my physical condition had improved significantly after waking up from sleep. Of course, I would probably be bedridden again once the guiding ended.
“I was planning not to touch you until your body fully recovered, but…”
“So, are you not going to receive guiding?”
“If Guide Kwon Gi-dam-ssi offers to guide me first, I have no reason to refuse.”
Vasily lifted his body, which had been overlapping mine. I snorted as I watched him begin to take off his clothes. I knew it. There was no way Vasily would turn down guiding.
Watching the jacket and tie fall one by one onto the blanket, I roughly pulled down my pants. Since I was wearing pajamas, the lower half of my body was soon exposed with a single gesture.
As Vasily looked at me waiting for him while clutching the blanket, he asked.
“Aren’t you taking off your top?”
“Do I have to?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you keep it on.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Vasily’s face drew closer as if he were about to kiss me. I blocked his lips with my palm and spoke.
“Don’t stall and just finish this quickly.”
“Will you be okay? You seem very nervous.”
His cold lips brushed against my palm.
Hearing his words, I looked down and saw my hand trembling slightly. It seemed my body had tensed up reflexively now that the guiding was about to begin.
“It’s because I’m cold. Don’t mind it.”
I replied, quickly pulling my hand away.
Telling the truth wouldn’t change anything. I just had to lie still as usual and wait for time to pass. Once he put it in and I endured it, it would end eventually.
Watching Vasily position himself between my legs, I raised my arm to cover my eyes.
I relaxed my body as much as possible and grit my teeth in preparation for the pain that would soon arrive. However, instead of the pain of being split open, a cold and wet sensation wrapped around my genitals.
“Ugh…”
Startled by the unfamiliar sensation, I hurriedly looked down. Checking between my legs, I saw Vasily with my genitals in his mouth.
“Wha… what are you doing…”
“You seem nervous, so I’ll help you release once.”
“Hng… don’t speak while… no! Spit it out first!”
I felt his tongue rolling over my genitals. I shuddered and tried to push Vasily’s head away, but he didn’t budge. Rather, Vasily took my genitals deeper into his mouth as if refusing to let go. A strong pleasure instantly surged to the top of my head.
“Ah… hng…”
Soft lips enveloped the shaft, and a cold tongue slowly licked up the tip. Before I knew it, my member was standing erect. My hips kept arching unconsciously. Moans leaked endlessly from my mouth.
“S… stop… ngh…”
“Does it feel good?”
“No, I hate… hng…”
“For someone who says they hate it, you look like you’re enjoying it.”
Vasily mumbled while still holding my genitals in his mouth.
“Stop doing this and just put it in…”
“If I just put it in, you’ll get hurt.”
“You used to put it in just fine without caring whether I got hurt or not!”
I shouted abruptly and then quickly covered my mouth.
Damn it, I accidentally brought up things from before the regression. I wouldn’t know what to say if he asked if my memories had returned.
While I was desperately racking my brain for an excuse, Vasily surprisingly didn’t seem to be in a bad mood. Rather… he looked pleased…
“Aha… so that son of a bitch was me…”
I had a bad feeling at the incomprehensible mumbling.
