Chapter 49 – GOY 49

#49

‘What’s happening? Is it an earthquake?’

Startled, I looked toward the source of the sound. The vibrations and the roar were too intense to be a simple earthquake. Moreover, I could feel a massive wave of mana. And I wasn’t the only one surprised.

“Aaaaaah! What the hell is that?”

Aaron screamed. And then….

“Gah!”

“Wa-wait, the lights!”

Screams erupted from the classroom at the end of the hallway, followed by a dull thud as people came pouring out of the door.

Cameras rolled across the floor and lighting equipment fell.

They looked like a filming crew. Could they have been hiding in the empty classroom, filming us in secret?

“Guide Aaron, what is the meaning of this?”

I demanded an answer from Aaron. As soon as they were exposed, the crew glanced at Aaron for cues. However, Aaron didn’t seem surprised at all that suspicious people had suddenly appeared. He had known beforehand.

“Ah, we were filming a vlog.”

He spoke lightly, as if it were no big deal.

“A vlog?”

“Yes. Do you not know what a vlog is?”

“That’s not the point. If you were filming, you should have told me.”

Among the filming staff, there was an Esper of C-rank. They were likely the one using invisibility magic. There were people who hired Espers capable of spatial or invisibility magic to conduct clandestine filming.

“Why? I received permission from the school. And I’ve been [unauthorized copy]filming since Read on Read BL Novelsthe auditorium. Does that mean I have to Read on Read BL Novelsgo to every single student and beg for their permission?”

“It would have been better to let me know in advance.”

“I pursue natural scenes. Besides, Koreans tend to overact when they know they’re being filmed.”

“I cannot agree with that statement at all.”

“The professor gave permission, so what are you going to do if you don’t agree?”

Instead of apologizing, Aaron argued back brazenly, then suddenly flashed a bright smile.

“Esper Joo Seung-hyuk!”

I turned my head following Aaron’s gaze. At the end of the hallway, Joo Seung-hyuk was walking toward us, radiating an immense amount of bloodlust. Terrified by his murderous aura, the staff hurriedly fled back into the classroom.

Without sparing them a single glance, Joo Seung-hyuk approached me.

“Hyung.”

“Seung-hyuk-ah….”

“Who is this piece of shit?”

Joo Seung-hyuk looked down at Aaron with cold eyes. There wasn’t a trace of curiosity toward an S-Class Guide.

Although I was angry at Aaron, I tried to hold it back and intended to formally introduce the two, but Aaron spoke first.

“Hello. We met at the hotel, right? That day at the Lexington party….”

“Hyung, are you close with this piece of shit?”

Joo Seung-hyuk asked me, not even glancing at Aaron.

“No. I met him for the first time today.”

“Then why are you dealing with him?”

“I know, right?”

The path to the East Wing wasn’t a maze; [unauthorized copy]I could have just told him visit our siteto find Read on Read BL Novelshis own way. Why on earth was I guiding this nuisance?

“Let’s go.”

“Huh?”

“You said we were going to buy rings.”

“Ah….”

I hesitated for a moment.

Which would be better: getting couple rings with an Obsessive Madman, or talking to a nuisance?

I didn’t want to say a single word to Aaron, but it seemed better than couple rings with the Madman.

Because once we bought the rings, we would become an undeniable couple.

“Ah, Professor Oh told me to show Guide Aaron around the campus.”

“Why is Hyung doing such a trivial task? Just ignore him and let’s go.”

“But….”

How do I get out of this? The best option would be to pair Joo Seung-hyuk and Aaron together without buying any rings….

Just then, someone called my name.

“Lee Yeon-soo.”

Kang In-ho strode toward me.

What is this?

Kang In-ho hated noise and annoyance. No matter how urgent his business was, he was the type to just pass by if he saw Joo Seung-hyuk and Aaron entangled.

Even if he had something to say, he would send a text or tell me later; he wasn’t the type to dive into such a chaotic scene.

“In-ho-ya, what’s up?”

Was it related to the explosion from earlier? How serious was [Read on Read BL Novels]the matter for Kang In-ho unauthorized copyto speak to [visit our site]me? A sudden wave of worry washed over me.

“If you have a prior engagement, go ahead. I’ll guide Guide Aaron instead.”

“What?”

“I said go.”

Kang In-ho spoke chicly, pushing up his glasses with his middle finger.

‘In-ho-ya, your personality has really changed lately. Are you dating someone? You’ve become so considerate. But listen, I appreciate you becoming kind, but why are you offering such useless help? Why on earth!’

I wanted to grab Kang In-ho by the collar and demand an answer right then and there. But before I could, Joo Seung-hyuk pulled me by the waist and smiled broadly.

“Now the obstacle is gone.”

“U-uh….”

An ‘obstacle’…. He didn’t even treat the villainous sub-uke No. 2 as a human being.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay….”

There were no more excuses to make. When I answered obediently, Joo Seung-hyuk beamed.

Still, looking at this guy’s face after being worn down by two nuisances—Professor Oh and Aaron—felt better. At least Joo Seung-hyuk was handsome….

Realizing once again that I was a hopeless sucker for looks, I prepared to leave with Joo Seung-hyuk, but Aaron shouted desperately from behind.

“Where are you going? You said you’d introduce me— Ack!!”

The moment Aaron tried to grab my hand, his body was sent flying and slammed into the wall. Joo Seung-hyuk had used his mana.

“Ugh.”

Aaron groaned as he slid down the wall to the floor. Joo Seung-hyuk stepped on his hand with cold eyes.

“How dare you touch him with your filthy hand.”

“Aaaagh!”

Aaron screamed, but everyone was so overwhelmed by Joo Seung-hyuk’s bloodlust that they couldn’t step in. I, too, froze in place.

“Esteemed Student Joo Seung-hyuk, please calm down. This is a school.”

Kang In-ho stepped forward to stop Joo Seung-hyuk. However, ignoring him, Joo Seung-hyuk continued to grind his foot into Aaron’s hand.

Right now, I was the only one who could stop Joo Seung-hyuk. Calming my startled heart, I took his hand.

“Seung-hyuk-ah, I-I’m okay. He didn’t even touch me. You blocked him.”

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes. Let’s go quickly.”

“Alright.”

Joo Seung-hyuk smiled softly at me. Then, he turned around and kicked Aaron in the stomach.

Aaron screamed. But Joo Seung-hyuk ignored him effortlessly and looked at me.

“Hyung, let’s go.”

“Uh-huh.”

Joo Seung-hyuk wrapped his arm around my shoulder as if protecting me and began to walk. I could hear Aaron’s spiteful sobbing behind us, but he didn’t care at all.

We got into the black sedan parked in the parking lot.

As I sat in the passenger seat, Joo Seung-hyuk fastened my seatbelt for me, as always.

“I can do it myself….”

“I want to do it for you.”

The corners of his eyes crinkled beautifully. It was a gentle expression, making it impossible to believe he had just slammed someone into a wall and crushed their hand.

He seemed to have no regard for Aaron’s existence. A normal person would care more about stepping on a passing ant than he did about Aaron.

Feeling a sense of dread, I spoke cautiously.

“Seung-hyuk-ah, you probably heard, but Aaron is an S-Class Guide.”

Honestly, Aaron was annoying. I was angry that he was hostile and picked fights the moment we met, and I didn’t want to do what he wanted.

However, while a nuisance is just annoying, an obsessive yandere is someone who could confine me or even kill me.

As expected, Joo Seung-hyuk is not someone I can handle. It’s right to send him to Aaron.

“Ah, maybe you already know. He’s a world-famous star.”

“I don’t know. I’m not interested in any Guide other than Lee Yeon-soo.”

“R-really?”

I wish he wouldn’t… I knew it was just lip service, but it was scary.

“Yes. For me, there is only Lee Yeon-soo.”

“Th-thank you. Anyway, since Aaron is a world-famous S-Class Guide, his matching rate might be higher than mine if you test [Read on Read BL Novels]it. [visit our site]Why don’t you try it once?”

“Hyung, why do such filthy words come out of your pretty mouth?”

Suddenly, Joo Seung-hyuk’s voice turned cold.

I, who was about to suggest the 1-on-1 matching rate test once more, had no choice but to shut my mouth.

Joo Seung-hyuk’s hand touched my lips. I could feel a sharp wave of mana at his fingertips. If I moved the wrong way, I might get cut.

Unable to even swallow my dry saliva, I looked at Joo Seung-hyuk.

“You see, every time Lee Yeon-soo tries to send me to another Guide, I can’t stand it. It makes me want to shut you up by XXing you.”

He uttered a terrifying R-rated line in a murderous voice.

“I-I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

I moved my lips, prepared to bleed. If I didn’t apologize now, we might reenact a hardcore R-rated scene right here.

But contrary to my expectation, [visit our site]I felt no pain. It [visit our site]was thanks to Joo Seung-hyuk withdrawing his mana the moment I moved my mouth.

That didn’t mean the Madman’s anger had vanished. Pitch-black mana filled the car.

Vrrr, vrrr.

While I was unable to speak and only reading Joo Seung-hyuk’s mood, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I quickly took out the phone. It was a call from Ji-hee noona.

Joo Seung-hyuk wouldn’t be as sharp with Ji-hee noona. Or rather, he’d be less sharp than with others. But in this situation, I couldn’t answer the phone.

Just as I was about to hurriedly press the decline button, Joo Seung-hyuk spoke.

“Answer it.”

“Yes, sir.”

If the Obsessive Madman commands, I must obey. I quickly touched the accept button.

“Hello.”

Yeon-soo.

“Uh, Noona.”

Are you by any chance with Joo Seung-hyuk?

“Why?”

Joo Seung-hyuk destroyed a building.

“What? Destroyed?”

Was the explosion I heard earlier because of that?

Yeah. He destroyed the ‘Han Examination Room’ behind the KR building. He completely smashed a whole building.

The ‘Han Examination Room’ was a building constructed in the late 1990s with support from the Seong Han Group. It was a small building with one floor above ground and one basement, equipped with mana meters and 1-on-1 matching rate testers produced by Hanseong.

It was said that Seong Han, which was expanding the ability-user industry globally at the time, built it to promote its own products.

Since a new examination room was completed eight years ago, its usage had dropped sharply, but it was still used for simple preliminary tests.

Joo Seung-hyuk disappeared after making this mess, and the professors told me to contact you because they thought he might have gone to you.

“Ah….”

Now everyone thinks of me the moment Joo Seung-hyuk disappears. What a miserable reality….

Is Joo Seung-hyuk there?

“Uh-huh….”

I nodded while glancing at Joo Seung-hyuk. [stolen content]My [visit our site]conscience pricked me for lying, but my fear of the [visit our site]obsessive yandere took precedence.
