Guide Me If You Dare-Chapter 134: SEASON 1 FINALE

YUNO was enjoying the lobster he was eating in a fancy fancy restaurant that Ki Gayoon booked for their dinner date, but his excitement died a little when he received a text message from Bambi.

It was a message sent to all Top 5 Guides.

[Attendance is compulsory.

---Team Leader Bambi.]

That was the last part of the long message.

Basically, they would be holding a meeting with the Top 5 Espers tomorrow to discuss the fate of the criminals they caught.

Yuno raised his head in time to see Ki Gayoon putting down his phone.

Hyung probably got the same message.

"Why?" Ki Gayoon asked when he caught Yuno looking at him. "If you don’t want to attend the meeting tomorrow, then we don’t have to."

"Are you crazy, Hyung? It says attendance is compulsory."

"Yuno-ya, you always call me a gangster. Do you think I’d care about the law? I even ignore the President’s orders, so why would I listen to the Bureau or the Association?"

Right.

"Let’s attend the meeting, Hyung. I want to know what will happen to the criminals we caught," Yuno said, choosing to be a law-abiding citizen. "And I feel partially responsible for Choi Kangmin’s death. So, I want to make sure his killer would be punished properly."

"It wasn’t your fault, but I understand how you feel," Ki Gayoon consoled him. "Alright. We’ll attend the meeting tomorrow."

Hmm.

The National Guide Bureau and the Esper Association should give me a bonus for turning Gayoon Hyung into a law-abiding Esper.

Yuno patted his shoulder gently.

You’re doing great, me.

"Why?" Ki Gayoon asked worriedly. "Does your shoulder hurt?"

Yuno just shook his head, and then he changed the topic. "Hyung, I think the other Top 5 Espers and Guides already realized that I’m an E-Class Guide. So, I want to reveal it to them properly. I mean, I only hid it because of Sajangnim’s deal with President Cheol Kang. As long as it doesn’t get leaked to the public, I guess it won’t be a problem. What do you think?"

"Do what you want. I’ll support you."

It may have sounded like Ki Gayoon didn’t care because of his short response that sounded like he didn’t think about it at all.

However, Yuno knew that wasn’t the case.

If the Ki Gayoon says he’ll support you, it’s like getting support from the entire country.

"Thank you, Hyung."

"Anything else I can help you with?"

Yuno took a delicious bite of his scrumptious lobster first.

Ah, shit.

The lobster almost melted in his mouth.

So, he ended up taking more bites before he finally remembered that he had something else to say.

Fortunately, Ki Gayoon just kept watching him silently while enjoying his own lobster.

Ahem.

"Hyung, I’ve revealed all my cards already," Yuno said while choosing what to eat next. "Reverse Guiding, protecting one’s Core with our Mana, the skill to take away a Guide’s Guiding ability, deciphering the sign language taught by the Lab to the E-Class Guides, killing my fellow Guides by crushing their hearts, and removing bombs planted in an E-Class Guide’s body. Oh, I can probably help the Bureau and the Association find Jacob Hyung-nim by giving them information about my "siblings." But that’s it. My usefulness ends there."

"Noh Yuno, if you cooperate with the Bureau and the government, you might be forced to tell them everything you know about the Lab," Ki Gayoon reminded him carefully. "Noa Hyung was the chief of the National Guide Bureau back then, so he was able to protect your existence as an E-Class Guide. But Chief Kim Munhee wouldn’t be as kind or considerate."

"I’m prepared for that. Hyung, I want to reveal the existence of the E-Class Guides that suffered in the Lab years ago. Everyone in the country knows about the existence of the Lab, but only a select few know about the E-Class Guides. So, I want to reveal our story before Jacob Hyung-nim and my "siblings" give our class a bad name."

To be honest, it was Yuno’s goal to let everyone know about the existence of E-Class Guides.

That was why he worked with Moon Noa all this time.

But, now, he was in a hurry.

I have to stop my "siblings" from ruining the E-Class Guides’ name.

"Alright," Ki Gayoon said, nodding. "Do whatever you want, Yuno-ya. I’ll gain more power in the meantime in order to support and protect you properly."

Hmm?

Gayoon Hyung is already too powerful that not even the government can touch him. How much power does he want to have?

Oh, well.

That will benefit me anyway.

"Fighting, Hyung," Yuno said encouragingly. "Please take over the country soon."

"Yes, I will. So, all you have to do is live and play well. Eat delicious food, get enough sleep, work only if you want to, and have plenty of sex with me," Ki Gayoon said casually. "Are you done with your meal or would you like to order more?"

Oh.

I didn’t realize I’ve already cleared my plate— no wonder I feel bloated.

"No, I’m full," Yuno said, ignoring the "plenty of sex" part that Ki Gayoon said earlier. "But I still have room for dessert."

"Okay. Should I ask them to bring out the dessert now?"

"I want the red bean ice cream our convenience store sells, Hyung. I’ve already had a fancy meal, so my peasant taste is craving something cheap."

"You act like you don’t earn more than a billion won monthly. Where does your money go to when your lifestyle is so simple?"

Yuno flinched, avoiding Ki Gayoon’s gaze.

Why does Hyung have to bring that up?

"Yah. You’re not investing your hard-earned money in some shady shit, are you?"

"Hyung, we shouldn’t talk about our finances on our first date."

"I don’t care about your finances as long as you’re not getting scammed."

"I’m not getting scammed," Yuno said, then he pulled out Ki Gayoon’s Black Card and changed the topic. "I’ll pay for tonight’s dinner, Hyung."

Ki Gayoon chuckled, obviously didn’t mind getting a "free meal" even though he knew Yuno would be paying using his money anyway. "I’m lucky my boyfriend is generous, huh?"

***

"YOU’RE awake, sleepyhead?"

Hmm.

Yuno lost to Ki Gayoon in an argument last night, hence he ended up sleeping in the Esper’s room instead of his own.

Cursed Hyung for his good memory.

["Noh Yuno, didn’t I tell you to rate all the ice cream flavors in this store from your least favorite to the ones you liked the best?"]

["You still remember that, Hyung?"]

["Hell yeah, I do. So, where’s the list?"]

["..."]

["I see. You’ve forgotten, huh? As a punishment, you’ll sleep in my room tonight. Don’t worry, I’ll just hold your hand."]

Lies.

Yuno’s cheeks turned red when he remembered how Ki Gayoon rubbed their cocks together until...

Ah, brain! Stop remembering it!

"Noh Yuno, what are you fantasizing about that you got hard?"

Aigoo.

Yuno immediately got up and covered his crotch. "It’s just a simple morning wood, Hyung. You would know since you have one, too."

Ki Gayoon smiled lazily. "Should we help relieve each other, then?"

"No. We can’t be late today, Hyung."

"Tsk."

"I’ll take a bath in my room, so stay here and get ready," Yuno said, standing up. "See you at breakfast, Hyung."

"Tsk."

Aigoo.

A thirty-year-old man throwing a tantrum so early in the morning should be annoying.

But Ki Gayoon’s face card was lethal, and Yuno was a sucker for good-looking people.

Especially since this hot specimen is mine.

Heh.

I chose well.

Yuno cupped Ki Gayoon’s face between his hands and gave the Esper a light kiss on the lips since he hadn’t brushed his teeth yet. "That’s your good morning kiss, Hyung."

Ki Gayoon blinked, obviously pleasantly surprised. "Can I have my good afternoon and good night kiss in advance?"

"Bye!"

"Yah!"

***

"WE’VE identified the serial killer as simply ’Jae.’ He doesn’t have a family, and he doesn’t even have records of his birth. Guide Jae-ssi already admitted to killing Guide Choi Kangmin, as well as the victims from Japan and China."

Ah, so he talked.

Yuno wasn’t surprised while listening to Bambi’s report.

Right now, the Top 5 Guides and Espers were in the fanciest conference room of the National Guide Bureau HQ. Their seating arrangement was the same as before.

Ah, Sajangnim is also here.

Bambi led the meeting even though Moon Noa was supposed to be the highest-ranking Guide in Korea.

Team Leader Bambi-ssi is practically the Bureau’s next boss after the chief, after all.

"President Cheol Kang, Chief Kim Munhee, and President Kwak Hakjae all agreed to give Guide Jae-ssi the death sentence," Bambi continued with his report. "And they have all agreed to let Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi kill the serial killer."

Ah.

It felt bittersweet.

However, Yuno was happy with the result.

It won’t bring back Guide Choi Kangmin-ssi, but at least, Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi can avenge his Guide.

"Guide Noh Yuno-ssi."

Yuno raised his head, surprised that Bambi called him. "Yes, sir?"

"Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi attacked you. He was under Guide Eun Rina-ssi’s control, but it doesn’t change the fact that Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi almost killed you," Bambi said. "What do you want to do? Esper Yang Youngjae-ssi also told us he’d retire from being an Esper if that’s what you want as his punishment."

"Our country needs Espers like Yang Youngjae-ssi, so it would be a shame if he retired early. I understand his circumstances, so I don’t blame him for the attack. A simple apology would suffice," Yuno said, ignoring Ki Gayoon who clicked his tongue. His Esper-slash-boyfriend was probably thinking he was being "too" forgiving. "May I know what would happen to Guide Eun Rina-ssi, sir?"

"Yes, but first things first," Bambi said, and it made Yuno nervous. "Guide Noh Yuno-ssi, would you like to introduce yourself again? Properly, this time. President Cheol Kang has allowed it."

Ah.

So, they want me to introduce myself as an E-Class Guide?

"It’s alright, Yuyu," Moon Noa encouraged him. "This won’t get leaked to the public."

"I’ll kill anyone who blabs," Ki Gayoon added, scoffing. "So, don’t worry about anything, Noh Yuno."

Aigoo.

Gayoon Hyung, you’re the one I’m most worried about.

Anyways, Yuno stood up— all eyes on him now.

Here goes nothing.

"Hi, I’m Noh Yuno— an E-Class Guide."

***

THE ESPERS were kicked out of the room.

According to Bambi, he had something to discuss with the Guides.

"Gayoon Oppa, are you going to wait for Yuno?"

Ki Gayoon raised an eyebrow at Lee Sarang. "Why are you calling my Guide’s name casually, Lee Sarang?"

"Yuno didn’t tell you, Oppa? We agreed to talk comfortably with each other," Lee Sarang said cheerfully. "He calls me ’noona’ now."

Haaah.

Gayoon was about to warn Lee Sarang not to fall for Noh Yuno, but then Ryu Sungbin walked past them.

Matthew and Jin Sooin followed Ryu Sungbin as if they were about to go somewhere.

Ah, right.

"Ryu Sungbin, let’s fight."

Lee Sarang gasped.

Matthew and Jin Sooin turned around with a shocked look on their faces.

On the other hand, the opponent that Gayoon challenged...

"Fight?" Ryu Sungbin asked, turning around to give Gayoon a tired look. "Ki Gayoon, I’m not as free as you are. We have to stop the Chinese Espers and Japanese Espers who want a piece of the serial killer."

Oh, yeah.

The Chinese and the Japanese government were also hunting down the serial killer.

"I’ll help you then— but you have to fight me after we drive those Japanese and Chinese Espers out of the country."

"Well, I’d be a fool if I rejected the help you’re offering, Ki Gayoon," Ryu Sungbin said, knitting his eyebrows. "But why do you want to fight me? Have you run out of sparring partners?"

"Nah, I’m not talking about a "friendly fight,"" Gayoon said confidently, pointing a finger at Ryu Sungbin. "I want your official spot as the #1 Esper in South Korea, Ryu Sungbin."
