By the time Sijin was halfway through his meal, Jeong Taeyul returned to the room. He seemed to have been gone longer than expected, but Sijin wasn't bothered. In Jeong Taeyul's hand was a silver aluminum case containing basic examination equipment. “You found it. Thanks.” Sijin expressed his gratitude as he took the case. He intended to examine Jeong Taeyul right away. He could have sent him to the examination room, but it was probably still a mess from the aftermath of the…

Sijin asked innocently, his eyes still drowsy, “Does it hurt?” “Are you serious right now…?” “It must be clustered again…” “.....” Jeong Taeyul, caught off guard by the unexpected assault on his vital point, was speechless. Meanwhile, Sijin had moved on, pressing his fingers against the crook of Jeong Taeyul’s elbow. It was another pathway for his wave energy. “You don’t have congenital analgesia, do you?” “…No.” “Then, it must be around…

Confined to the Center, Sijin found himself with nothing to do on his day off. It felt like house arrest, albeit a comfortable one. On weekends, he usually wandered around the Center's various facilities. Having eaten lunch a little late, Sijin strolled by the Center's lake, lost in thought. ‘Jeong Taeyul’s been dispatched to the neighboring Center… Geonwu’s busy as the main A-rank on duty. And I’m stuck here…’ As the designated A-rank Esper on standby, Ham Geonwu would be…

“Now you’re carrying a stuffed animal.” And then he ran into Jeong Taeyul. Sijin froze, his back stiffening as he turned towards the source of the voice. Next to the Administration building was a designated smoking area, shaded by a large tree. It was a spot Jeong Taeyul, a smoker, frequented. Jeong Taeyul stood under the tree’s canopy, one hand tucked into his pocket. His brown hair was tousled, his gaze sharp yet languid. He was still in his black combat uniform, a guiding glove…

The next day, Sijin woke up feeling relatively calm. He had successfully convinced himself overnight. ‘Jeong Taeyul wouldn't care about a silly doll.’ Maybe he'd use it for target practice… The thought of his dolphin doppelganger being subjected to such a fate made him uneasy. Then, around lunchtime, one of the trainees approached him, his face pale. “Dr. Baek… We’re dead.” “W-What? Why?” Sijin’s hard-earned peace of mind shattered. His worst fears had…

“Back then, I truly hated s*x guiding. I didn’t like the idea of being forced to do it just because I was an Esper.” “I see.” Sijin nodded slowly. It wasn’t uncommon to encounter Espers who were against s*x guiding. It was understandable to feel aversion towards an intimate act they didn't consent to. Yoo Seunghwa continued, her voice steady. “My Guide was part of the same intelligence team as me. He was always concerned about me because I refused guiding. Thanks to him, my wave…

“Forget it… Ha. I just want to keep him safe.” “Yeah, he keeps hiding his symptoms, so I had to lock him up in the recovery room…” Kwon Jiwon’s voice was laced with sympathy. Sijin hated it when people hid their symptoms or lied about their condition. It was a diagnostic examiner’s nightmare. Still, confiding in his friend had lifted a weight off his shoulders. They chatted for a while before Sijin started organizing the data. He had to leave soon. Then, Kwon…

“What did Yoo Seunghwa do to you?” Ignoring Sijin’s pleas, Jeong Taeyul sat up, the blanket falling away to reveal his toned chest and sculpted abs. Sijin’s eyes widened as they moved closer. “We just… talked. Nothing happened.” “I’ll be the judge of that.” ‘Why do you get to decide?’ Sijin wanted to rebel, the childish urge fueled by his deflated expectations. But he didn’t have time. He had an afternoon schedule to keep. He pushed aside his emotions and…

They were approaching the lecture hall. Sijin had been instructed by his superiors to give a lecture to the trainees today. ‘It’s been a while since I gave a lecture…’ He had done it a few times before, but he always felt nervous in front of a new audience. Feeling his nerves getting the better of him, he reached for his necklace, a habit he’d developed. ‘…Huh?’ His neck felt bare. Panicked, he frantically searched around his neck. ‘My platinum…

“I, personally… And the director won’t like this, but… I’m against imprinting. Because there’s no safe way to undo it.” His words were met with surprise. Imprinting reduced the risk of Ability Users’ outbursts, so the government actively encouraged it. However, even if the feelings faded, or if the imprinted partner died, the imprint remained on their heart. Yoo Seunghwa, for instance, was struggling to divorce because of her imprint. Moreover, there were crimes that exploited…
