Chapter 54 – GOY 54
#54
Reflexively, I gripped Joo Seung-hyuk’s hand tightly.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, I’ve really never thought of doing something like that. Why would I shoot you? There’s no way I’d do such a thing to a person. Honestly, I have had other thoughts, but…”
“What kind of thoughts?”
“Thoughts that I hope you wouldn’t use the things you bought today on me…”
“The things I bought today?”
“Like the whip…”
I wasn’t a masochist like Kim Joon. I didn’t think that just because I had various experiences, I would suddenly discover some hidden fetish.
“Pfft. Is that why you’ve been stiffening up this whole time?”
Joo Seung-hyuk burst into laughter. Seeing him cover his mouth while laughing, it seemed he found it truly amusing. But I was serious.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, listen, [Read on Read BL Novels]I hate pain. [visit our site]So you can’t use those things on me. Got it?”
“I’ve never even thought about it.”
“Really?”
The Joo Seung-hyuk from the original story was a vicious sadist. Had his tastes changed?
“But hearing you talk about it suddenly makes me curious.”
“What?”
“Shall we try?”
I shook my head violently.
“No. Please don’t hurt me.”
“Then we won’t be able to do anything. Lee Yeon-soo always says it hurts at the slightest thing.”
“From now on, I’ll only say it hurts if it actually hurts.”
“So you’ve been exaggerating until now?”
The more I spoke, the more it felt like Read on Read BL NovelsI [visit our site]was sinking into a swamp. Is that why [stolen content]it’s called <The Swamp of the Guide>?
Regardless, if I said the wrong thing now, I might end up trapped in a trash can. I worked hard to persuade Joo Seung-hyuk.
“No! It really hurt. But I’ll endure that much, so…”
“Don’t endure it. You don’t need to endure anything, Hyung.”
“Seung-hyuk-ah…”
Even an Obsessive Madman had a tender side. Moved, I looked up at Joo Seung-hyuk.
“It’s actually quite cute when Lee Yeon-soo exaggerates.”
“…….”
Crazy bastard. As expected, this guy is a lunatic.
“How is the gun?”
“It’s good. It’s light, and the way it fits in my hand is great. The scope is well-made, too. Of course, I’ll only know for sure once I use it in the field.”
“Do you want to try firing it? There’s a training room in the basement.”
“Wouldn’t it be better for an Esper to do that kind of [Read on Read BL Novels]practice? I don’t [unauthorized copy]think I’d know much even if I did.”
“Why would some other guy do it? You should do it, Hyung.”
“What…?”
Without answering, Joo Seung-hyuk walked over to the display cabinet and brought back a small wooden box. Inside the shabby box was a ring set with a transparent gem.
“What is that?”
“The very first treasure I obtained.”
“First?”
“Yes. The treasure I got after defeating a Boss Monster for the first time in my life.”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s first Gate Raid… This was a story that didn’t appear in the original. Naturally, there had been no mention of that ring.
Joo Seung-hyuk took the ring out of the box and placed it on top of the Pistol of Horaitron. In that instant, the pistol vanished like smoke.
“Oh!”
Startled, I looked at Joo Seung-hyuk. However, despite a treasure worth as much as a building disappearing, Joo Seung-hyuk remained composed.
“Anything can be stored in this ring.”
He slipped the ring onto my finger. It happened so quickly that I didn’t even have time to refuse.
“Now, try taking the gun out.”
“How?”
“Give a command to the ring. You can visualize the image of the gun appearing. You’re good at handling mana, so you’ll be able to do it quickly.”
Since it didn’t feel right to give commands to someone else’s treasure, I simply visualized the image of the Pistol of Horaitron appearing. Then, exactly as I had imagined, the gun emerged from the ring and landed in my hand.
“It’s a picky thing, but you succeeded on the first try. I knew you’d find it easy, Hyung.”
“I was just lucky.”
“Try putting it back in.”
“Okay.”
This time, I imagined the gun entering the ring. Then, the gun in my hand vanished abruptly.
“Amazing.”
“Want to try one more time?”
“No. Experiencing it once is enough.”
As I tried to quickly take off the ring, Joo Seung-hyuk grabbed my hand.
“It’s yours now.”
“What?”
“I told you I was going to buy a ring today.”
Joo Seung-hyuk had suddenly brought up the topic of a ring today. And then we came straight to the Ability User Department Store. As luck would have it, it was the day of a special auction, and Joo Seung-hyuk purchased the S-Class treasure, the Pistol of Horaitron.
No matter how much of a third-generation chaebol he was, it must have been a burdensome price to pay on a whim. Yet, he hadn’t hesitated for a second.
Furthermore, even though no rings appeared in the auction, he didn’t seem the least bit disappointed.
Could it be…
“Did you intend to give me this from the start?”
“Yes. Why? Are you disappointed that it’s not a couple’s ring?”
“No, it’s not that. This is something precious to you.”
This ring was Joo Seung-hyuk’s first treasure. Regardless of the price or the value of the item, it must be something with deep meaning. That’s probably why he kept it in the most visible spot in the display cabinet.
It wasn’t something to be given away lightly.
“Nothing is more precious than you, Hyung.”
“Seung-hyuk-ah…”
“Take it.”
He seemed to have no intention of backing down. If I refused too much, it would only have the opposite effect.
“Alright. But I’ll give the gun back.”
“Forget it. I bought it for you, Hyung.”
As I thought, he intended to give it along with the Pistol of Horaitron from the beginning.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, I appreciate the sentiment, but this is too much.”
My policy was to avoid refusing things given by an Obsessive Madman if possible, but this was far too excessive.
“There’s a real Gate Raid next week. You need to bring a weapon. That’s why I’m giving visit our siteit [stolen content]to you, [Read on Read BL Novels]so don’t feel burdened.”
When doing real Gate training, one must bring a weapon. Espers had their own personal weapons, but most Guides brought the basic weapons provided by the school. I was the same.
Of course, high-rank Guides affiliated with guilds sometimes carried high-quality weapons, but that didn’t apply to me.
“I don’t even go inside the Gate. I don’t need something this good.”
“I know. You’ll never have to use this. Because I’ll protect you, Hyung.”
“…….”
Joo Seung-hyuk gently caressed my cheek.
“But just keep it. I think I’ll feel more at ease if you do.”
Since it felt like his stubbornness wouldn’t break no matter what I said, I had no choice but to nod.
I’ll keep it safe and give it back when we break up…
“…Alright.”
“Make sure to wear the ring.”
“Is it really okay for me to receive something so precious?”
“It’s okay. If not my Guide, then who would receive it?”
“…Thank you.”
“You’re thankful for every little thing.”
Joo Seung-hyuk chuckled and ruffled my hair.
“Then shall we go look at the other things?”
“Other things?”
“You bought other things today too.”
“No!”
I shook my head desperately.
“You don’t want to?”
Of course I don’t! Do you think I’d like it if you used them on me! How can you smile after buying a bunch of atrocious things that make whips and shackles look cute!
Instead of screaming in rage, I clung tightly to Joo Seung-hyuk.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, I—I like you!”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“I—I don’t want anything other than you touching my body!”
“Do you realize how dangerous the words you’re saying right now are?”
“I don’t!”
What’s dangerous about me! The dangerous things are the tools you bought today!
Those monstrous tools that look like they belong in a 19+ hard angst SM novel!
“Not knowing is also a sin.”
Along with a soft voice, Joo Seung-hyuk’s lips overlapped mine.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked at my hand. The ring was on the ring finger of my left hand. But there were no handcuffs. I wasn’t wearing shackles.
Feeling my hands and feet were free, I let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, my waist felt like it was going to break, but this was a relief.
I recalled the events of last night. Joo Seung-hyuk was an even more Indomitable Top than usual. However, he didn’t use the atrocious items he bought at the auction.
I had been trembling, thinking I would personally experience the ‘cozy trash can’ starting today, so it was a huge relief.
“Are you awake?”
Joo Seung-hyuk, who was lying in the same bed, pulled me into an embrace and bit my neck.
“Ah!”
“Does it hurt?”
“A little… Seung-hyuk-ah, do you like my neck?”
He was particularly fond of biting my neck.
“They say if you bite the neck, you bond.”
“That’s just in movies…”
Unlike the bonding between an Esper and a Guide, which occurs with mutual consent, the bonding between an Alpha and an Omega is said to be naturally engraved into the soul by a fate-like attraction.
However, perhaps because fate is so hard to find, there were almost no people who actually bonded.
It was said that there had been only two couples in South Korea over the past 100 years. It wasn’t that our country was particularly lacking. Finding people who bonded was not easy worldwide.
Many people claimed that ‘Alpha and Omega bonding’ itself was a non-existent concept, and that those who claimed to have bonded were either frauds or had mistaken ‘Esper and Guide bonding’ for ‘Alpha Omega bonding.’
But regardless of people’s beliefs, there were many novels and movies based on this. Biting the neck to initiate bonding was one of the most common tropes.
“And I’m a Beta.”
Even if bonding occurred by biting the neck as in the movies, it was impossible for me. Alphas and Betas cannot bond.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, if you want to bond, it would be better to meet an Omega… Ah!”
Joo Seung-hyuk bit my neck hard. This time, it actually hurt.
“You’re saying disgusting things first thing in the morning. Lee Yeon-soo needs to be punished.”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s gaze lingered on the atrocious treasures on the nightstand.
Last night, he had insisted on bringing them into the bedroom just to ‘check them out.’
I hurriedly spoke before Joo Seung-hyuk could unleash his S instincts.
“No, it’s not that, I just thought you wanted to bond…”
“Hyung, if you’ve stolen my purity, you have to take responsibility.”
“…….”
He kissed the ring on my ring finger.
“I’ll only accept the price for stealing my purity through marriage, so don’t think of anything else.”
“Okay…”
I answered softly, while thinking of a way to escape from the Obsessive Madman.
