Sijin, now gripping his pen like a whip, continued his scolding. "Why don't you admit your mistake, Shark—no, Guide Jeong Taeyul?" "Yes, I'm sorry." It felt a bit like forcing an apology out of him, but Sijin finally calmed down and put his glasses back on. Picking up the chart, he asked, "In any case... What about imprinting? What are you two going to do?" "We're not doing it." "We won't do it~" Thankfully, they at least sounded obedient now. Sijin couldn't believe how mentally…-

"How about counseling once a week? With… your body?" Sighing at his blatant harassment, Sijin realized he was cornered. With Park Jaesung drunk, there was no way to resolve this situation now. It would be better to leave and deal with it later. He decided to abandon any further conversation and stand up… until Jeong Taeyul arrived. "I must have misheard." Bam! Their foreheads slammed against the table. Sijin’s eyes zeroed in on their neatly-combed hair. A large hand was pressing…

‘Why did I end up with this job...?’ The next day, Ham Geonwu and Jeong Taeyul sat across from Sijin in his office. He had purposefully called both A-rank Ability Users to the diagnostic room together, although it wasn't entirely his decision. The order had come down from above. "You two share a special relationship, correct?" Sijin began as casually as possible. "In some ways, yes," replied Jeong Taeyul. "Well, entrusting our lives to each other isn't common." Both Ham Geonwu and Jeong…

“But I’ve… seen a Guide’s outburst firsthand. A B-rank Guide, in his thirties.” Sijin spoke, his voice low, as he attached the electrodes to Jeong Taeyul’s arms. “He lost his imprinted Esper and fell into a deep depression. He refused guiding, isolated himself… For seven months, he lived in solitude, then had an outburst in his own home.” “.....” “He was rescued… but he was like a doll. He didn’t react to anything – his friends, his colleagues who had fought…

Jeong Taeyul sucked in a breath as Sijin’s body pressed against his. Due to their height difference, Sijin’s forehead rested against Jeong Taeyul’s shoulder. His muscular body was warm and surprisingly comforting. He could hear Jeong Taeyul’s heartbeat, closer than ever, faster than he’d expected. Thud. Jeong Taeyul took half a step back, his foot catching on the edge of the examination table. Sijin, as if to calm him, placed a hand on his back, gently stroking it. Jeong Taeyul’s…

Later that evening, Sijin went to the examination room. “Doctor, are you sure about this…? Shouldn't you be resting?” “It’s just a bruise. I’m fine.” “Not the injury… You were attacked by a monster!” Shin Dayoung said worriedly. But Sijin was genuinely fine, and he knew that work would pile up if he wasn’t there. Besides, he had something he needed to do today. “I’m only here for a short while, without the Shark knowing. I’ll just review the data and leave. Is…

“.....” The thought of Jeong Taeyul made Sijin sit up abruptly. He was surprised by his own reaction, but the anxiety gnawing at him spurred him into action. He grabbed his tablet, seeking a distraction. He turned it on, and the first thing he saw was a recommendation from the Center. ‘A week of rest?’ They were recommending a whole week of rest? How could they do this when they were so short-staffed? ‘Being alone in this hospital is making me more anxious…’ He…

Anger, hot and sharp, surged through Sijin. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “You… you… I told you I hate it when you do that.” “Okay, okay, I’m sorry. My stomach hurts from laughing. Are you mad, Doctor?” “Don’t laugh. I told you I don’t like it when you do this. Why do you keep doing it?” “What should we do? Our puppy’s really angry. I’m sorry.” Ham Geonwu wiped at his lips, trying to contain his laughter. He then stood up and pulled Sijin into a hug, his…

Sijin woke up slowly, his eyes blinking open to a warm morning sun. He had slept soundly for the first time in a while. He turned his head, reaching for his glasses placed neatly on the bedside table. The sterile, monotonous scenery of a single hospital room came into focus. Still drowsy, he stretched lazily. Then, a gentle voice startled him. “Honey, you’re awake?” “.....??” Sijin’s arm froze mid-stretch. It was the endearment, so utterly unfamiliar, yet the voice…

An hour later, Sijin was settled into a private room after undergoing a thorough examination. Two Alpha Team members stood guard outside. Jeong Taeyul stepped out to catch up on his pending reports. “Captain?” One of his team members, Ryu Seonyeong, approached him. She was a D-rank Esper with brown wings, an extremely rare therianthrope Ability User. “Yes, report.” Jeong Taeyul said curtly. Ryu Seonyeong presented her tablet, her fingers tipped with sharp claws. He didn’t bat an…
