Baek Sijin, who has been assigned as a diagnostic examiner at F12 Center, where his lifesaver Esper Ham Geon-woo is, goes to work with excited feelings. However, an unexpected barrier is waiting for Sijin there.

"If you really have no interest in Ham Geon-woo, then you don’t need to find me difficult either. Right?"

That person turns out to be Jeong Taeyul, an A-rank guide with a high matching rate with Ham Geon-woo.

Jeong Taeyul sticks close to Baek Sijin and irritates him by opposing him at every turn. If he were going to be annoying, it would be better if he were annoying all the time, but whenever the test results are bad, Sijin, who is fiercely professional, keeps paying attention to him....

The meeting between an A-rank guide gong and the weakest ordinary person shou! What ending will the relationship between these two, who begin as enemies, have?

Preview:

"It’s only natural to feel favorably toward your lifesaver. So please don’t misunderstand me any more."

At those words, Jeong Taeyul gave no reply.

Sijin glanced toward the driver’s seat. There was Jeong Taeyul gripping the steering wheel with one hand. His brown hair was blown by the wind, revealing a neat forehead. His sharp features stood out above a well-balanced neck.

After a while, Jeong Taeyul spoke in a calmer voice.

"It’s not a misunderstanding."

"...Pardon?"

"I just asked because I was annoyed."

"About what?"

"Why you keep not being able to pass by people who need help."

It was a pointed remark. Sijin wondered how Jeong Taeyul had figured out that side of him.

‘I thought he’d ask me to read him erotica too...’

That, too, was unexpected. Based on the patterns Sijin had experienced so far, he would have complained that only Ham Geon-woo was being treated specially and asked to have something read to him too. If that really happened, Sijin might have resigned.

Then Jeong Taeyul glanced toward Sijin for a moment and let out a small laugh.

"I’m not asking you to read me erotica."

"...Pardon?"

"Your expression gives it away. I’m not a pervert, so why would I ask you to read it?"

‘What a scary guy...’

Could Jeong Taeyul’s ability actually be reading minds? Sijin got goosebumps.

Still, the atmosphere between them loosened a little. Feeling as though he could finally breathe, Sijin asked with a playful tone.

"Then does that mean Esper Ham Geon-woo is a pervert?"

"That guy—"

Jeong Taeyul started to say something, then hesitated. Frowning at his tidy impression, he warned him.

"It’s annoying, so don’t ask."

"...I can’t even be curious?"

"No."
