DG Ch 6.5

Taegyeong kept squirming, distracted by Chahyeon. This cold reaction wasn’t what he’d hoped for.

The more he tried to pull away, the tighter Seo Wooyeol held his legs. He licked his leaking cock and his small nipples, tormenting him until he couldn’t hold back his moans.

Taegyeong’s cries echoed through the living room.

* * *

Chahyeon woke up early in the morning to the sound of Taegyeong crying. Taegyeong was sitting on the sofa, curled up, his head buried in his knees. His shoulders shook occasionally, and he fidgeted with his bruised hands. Chahyeon, seeing him through the crack in the door, couldn’t bring himself to leave and just watched him from his chair.

There was a severe shortage of guides these days. While there were plenty of low-ranking guides, only about ten high-ranking guides manifested each year. Even then, many of them made extreme choices due to the excessive workload or quit and went into hiding to avoid the agencies.

While he understood why espers were obsessed with guides, Seo Wooyeol’s group was excessive. It was almost as if they were trying to kill a guide.

“…”

Chahyeon looked at his phone, the clock displayed on the screen. The sex video Ryu Ilho had sent had subtly spread among the field team espers.

Why would they do this? He was a skilled guide. Were they trying to make her quit? Was it just a game? No matter how obsessed they were with guiding, it wasn’t something a decent person would do. It seemed better for the current Lee Taegyeong to just quit and leave.

Chahyeon went to the living room and stood in front of Taegyeong. Startled by his presence, Taegyeong looked up. His flushed cheeks, tear-stained eyes, and black pupils shining in the dim morning light.

Chahyeon bit his lower lip.

“…If it’s too much, it’s not too late. How about quitting?”

“Yes?”

“Are you crying because guiding is difficult?”

Taegyeong smiled and shook his head, wiping away the tears streaming down his cheeks.

“…Ah! No, it’s because Squishy died.”

“…Squishy?”

“The summon Esper Ryu Ilho gave me. I was taking care of it, and he took it to the gate this time. But it died… sniff It was really cute. Like a rabbit.”

Chahyeon’s lips twitched at the unexpected answer. At least he wasn’t crying because Seo Wooyeol had tormented him last night.

He was relieved, but he felt a sense of unease. Most of Ryu Ilho’s summons had the habit of charming their targets and turning them into prey. He liked a monster like that? Enough to cry over it?

“Do you want to raise another one? I know of a more docile one.”

“Really? W-Where?”

“They raise non-aggressive monsters in the Middle East. They don’t grow beyond their larval stage, and they’re only palm-sized, so you don’t need to take special care of them, just feed them regularly.”

“I want to see it.”

Taegyeong wiped his face and smiled.

Chahyeon calmly showed him a picture on his phone. It was a round, white slime that looked like a snowflake, with cat-like ears but no eyes, nose, or mouth.

“I’ll bring it if you want to raise it… if not, then not…”

“Wow, it’s so cute.”

“Should I bring it?”

“Yes!”

He wasn’t sure if the second Squishy would function as a dildo, but Taegyeong felt happy. Chahyeon made a phone call and then turned to Taegyeong, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“So, Guide Lee Taegyeong. How was Squishy? Was it useful? As a dildo?”

“Huh…?”

Useful as a dildo? Did he hear that right? His heart pounded. He was so surprised that his jaw dropped. But he was too embarrassed to ask him to repeat himself.

Taegyeong looked at Chahyeon with wary eyes. Chahyeon, however, simply smiled faintly and lowered his phone.

“Let’s have breakfast together.”

As if nothing had happened, and as if he would never explain, Chahyeon casually headed to the kitchen.

* * *

It was the third day of sharing meals with Chahyeon. Taegyeong looked at the twelve side dishes on the table and gulped.

‘So, Guide Lee Taegyeong. How was Squishy? Was it useful? As a dildo?’

He still couldn’t forget what Chahyeon had said a few days ago. If he heard correctly, he still didn’t understand how Chahyeon knew he’d used Squishy as a dildo.

Was he just testing the waters? Or had he misheard? He couldn’t shake the feeling that Chahyeon could see right through him, making him cautious in his presence.

“Do you eat like this every morning?”

“Yes. My grandmother prepares it for me. Do you usually eat breakfast, Taegyeong-ssi?”

“No. I don’t have much of an appetite, so I just eat something light.”

“That’s why I suggested eating together. How does it taste?”

Taegyeong was touched by Chahyeon’s consideration.

“…It’s delicious. Your grandmother’s cooking is amazing. Thank you for the meal.”

Taegyeong’s favorites were the braised beef and seasoned radish. He could easily finish a bowl of rice with the savory beef and crunchy radish. Perhaps it was because he’d been exercising every morning, or perhaps it was because he was eating with Chahyeon, but his appetite had improved.

“Cough!”

Chahyeon suddenly choked on his water. He glanced at Taegyeong and then continued eating. Taegyeong meticulously cleaned his bowl, not leaving a single grain of rice, and then took his multivitamins.

“When is the white Squishy arriving?”

“Tomorrow evening.”

“Oh. We have a company dinner tomorrow, what should we do?”

“I’ll ask the security guard to hold onto it for a bit.”

“Hmm…”

It would be late. Since it was a rare company dinner, it could go on until midnight. Seeing Taegyeong’s worried expression, Chahyeon said casually,

“It sleeps eighteen hours a day, so it’ll be fine.”

“Ah, I see. It’s like Esper Woo Chahyeon sleeping in on weekends.”

“I need to conserve my energy for the weekdays.”

“Such profound wisdom… Ah, and you’re due for guiding today. The company dinner was scheduled suddenly. Should we just do it now?”

“…”

Chahyeon smirked. That smirk again. Taegyeong tilted his head, puzzled by his amused expression.

“I’m not feeling well, so I’m not really in the mood.”

“Then you should definitely receive it!”

Taegyeong’s eyes sparkled. Chahyeon stood up at his confident declaration and sat on the edge of the table, extending one arm.

“Let’s do it with a hug.”

“Okay!”

He stood up so abruptly that his foot got caught on the table leg and he started to fall backwards. Taegyeong’s heart dropped as he felt himself falling. He was going to land right on his ass. It would be terrible if he hurt his back!

Chahyeon, his eyes wide with surprise, grabbed Taegyeong’s arm.

“Euk!”

He’d felt a sharp pain in his wrist, but it vanished the moment he made contact with Chahyeon. Taegyeong blinked and rotated his wrist. …Was it his imagination? But his wrist had really been throbbing.

“I almost fell. Thank you…”

“You’re welcome. Then, please guide me more diligently.”

Taegyeong hugged Chahyeon tightly. He buried his face in his firm waist and muscular chest, the sound of a pounding heart echoing in his ears. It was definitely his own heart.

“Do I… just have to hug you diligently…?”

“Yes. Hug me.”

Taegyeong lowered his head dejectedly and rested his forehead against Chahyeon’s chest. Chahyeon then lifted him up.

“Ah!”

“Let’s do it on the sofa.”

It was clearly out of consideration. Sometimes, guides became unwell if they were separated abruptly during guiding.

Chahyeon carried Taegyeong as if he weighed nothing and sat down on the sofa. Taegyeong sat facing him.

Sitting on his thigh, not beside him, felt strangely awkward. With their upper bodies pressed together, Taegyeong couldn’t move and rested his head on Chahyeon’s shoulder.

“…”

His whole body was burning up. Taegyeong didn’t know where to look, his ears flushed.

“Heuut.”

Chahyeon’s hand rested on his back. The light touch sent shivers down his spine. Chahyeon then began to caress and stroke his back.

‘Good… this is so comfortable for guiding…’

Taegyeong’s eyelids fluttered closed. He wanted time to stop, lost in the feeling of Chahyeon’s hand on his back. He drifted off to sleep.

He was about to fall into a deep sleep when his body was gently shaken.

“Uu…”

“Guide Lee-nim, wake up.”

“Just a little longer…”

“We’ll be late for work.”

At those words, Taegyeong opened his eyes and sat up groggily. Another guiding session awaited him. It was almost as if he was going to work to have sex, not to guide.

Indeed, this was the perfect job for the current Taegyeong.
