Today was mock training day.

Joo Seunghyuk slaughtered the monsters with incredible speed.

Even though they were just holograms, the monsters had been calibrated to match the level of an S-rank Esper. But to Seunghyuk, it was child’s play.

Guiding was scheduled to take place in the Guiding Room rather than in the Gate Chamber.

Since we’d finished training early, the Guiding Room was completely empty.

This was my chance. An opportunity to redeem myself for the shameful Lambert incident.

“How about we use that one today?”

I pointed to the innermost room among the multiple Guiding Rooms.

Normally, we’d just use the closest one near the entrance—but today, I had something to do.

“Sure. Let’s do that.”

Seunghyuk looked slightly puzzled but agreed without protest.

Despite having used a lot of strength in a short time, Seunghyuk’s mana remained stable.

The guiding session was brief. We were both S-rank, had a high matching rate, and his mana was steady—there was no reason for it to take long.

Though Seunghyuk was a lust demon through and through, when it came to guiding, he always stuck to the rules. He never once demanded anything beyond a level-1 deep guiding session.

He respected the principles I’d set for guiding. It was surprising, but also... appreciated.

“All done.”

“Thanks.”

Just as Seunghyuk’s hand was about to pull away, I grabbed it again.

“Seunghyuk, do you wanna do it?”

“...What?”

“I wanna do it. Here.”

“Here?”

Seunghyuk’s face stiffened.

He really doesn’t like this, huh.

I smirked inwardly.

He loved forcing himself on others, but hated it when someone else took the initiative.

Even in the original, whenever Yeonsu tried ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to seduce him, he’d always recoil in disgust.

I used to think the same thing every time I read Swamp of the Guide in my past life.

If only Kim Jun would just say he liked him, they’d probably have a happy ending...

Kim Jun loved Joo Seunghyuk. Even the imprisonment and borderline abusive behavior—he said he was okay with it all.

But he never once told Seunghyuk he liked him.

Not even at the very end. He just kept saying “I hate it.” (He was the type who said no with his mouth, but yes with his body...)

And that kind of attitude only stoked Seunghyuk’s conquest fetish even more.

Thinking back on it now, Seunghyuk wasn’t obsessed with the act itself—he was addicted to the thrill of breaking down someone who resisted.

So if I came onto him, he’d probably lose interest. That was always the case in the original—every time Yeonsu tried to seduce him, Seunghyuk would practically recoil.

He hated it even more than when Yeonsu spent money recklessly.

I thought back on that as I devised a new strategy. I’d act like a lust-crazed Guide, just like original Yeonsu.

That’d make him lose all interest in me. Getting dumped would only be a matter of time.

“Yeah. I want to do it here. Why? Don’t want to?”

I looked up at him with half-lidded eyes, thick with suggestion.

“Hyung... are you in heat?”

“No. I’m a Beta, remember?”

If this were the original Yeonsu, he would’ve flipped out at that question.

He had a massive complex about being a Beta. He’d rant about how even F-rank Kim Jun awakened, so why hadn’t he? But I didn’t care at all about secondary gender stuff, so I answered casually.

“Then why...?”

“I just want to. You don’t like that?”

I entwined my fingers with his, wrapped both our hands together, and kissed the back of his hand with a lingering touch.

Seunghyuk stared at me silently. His expression began to harden.

Ohh, is this it? Is he finally losing interest? This must be the right move.

If Kim Jun was the embodiment of “I hate it!”, I was going to be the image of horny seduction.

I climbed onto Seunghyuk’s lap. He stared up at me with a face carved in stone. He was clearly disgusted, but I didn’t stop. I gave him a sultry smile and pressed down on his shoulders.

Under my touch, his back leaned against the chair. The recliner had already been lowered all the way, so he was practically lying down.

I planted light kisses on his lips, his chin.

I’d practiced for this day by watching R-rated films. I wasn’t sure if I was pulling off the seductive Omega look, but I was trying.

Just like in the movies, I lowered my lashes seductively and ran my hand along his firm chest.

“What, do you hate this?”

“......”

Seunghyuk didn’t say a word.

Right. Even he must hate doing it somewhere so open. It’s probably killing the mood.

If things keep going like this, getting dumped is just a matter of time.

Hiding my triumphant grin, I slowly traced a finger along his lips, then slid it downward.

I’d kissed him, touched his chest, stroked his lips. Ah—right, I was supposed to touch his earlobe too.

But I’d missed the timing, so I focused on undressing him instead.

The impractical uniform he was wearing today was covered in buttons.

After unfastening all the buttons on his black jacket and a few on his shirt, his chest began to show.

I gave him a smoldering look.

And that’s when Seunghyuk’s tightly pressed lips finally parted.

“I want to crack open your skull and see what the hell you're thinking.”

“!!!”

O-okay. Maybe I went too far. Am I about to get killed like original Yeonsu did?

I quickly lifted my hands.

That was all I’d planned to do anyway.

“Ah, a-alright. If you really don’t want to, then... whatever.”

I moved to climb off him—but his hand caught me.

“Who said I didn’t want to?”

“What?”

Before I could respond, my body was pushed back.

In the blink of an eye, I was lying in the chair, and Seunghyuk was on top of me.

He kissed me as he began undoing the buttons on my jacket. I panicked and pushed at his chest.

“Lee Yeonsu.”

Seunghyuk growled in a low voice. I clung to the hem of my shirt and pleaded.

“Th-this is a Guiding Room...”

“You said you wanted it.”

“...Yeah. I did, but...”

I thought you’d freak out. I thought you’d get so disgusted you’d break up with me!

In the original, when Yeonsu used guiding as an excuse to force himself on Seunghyuk, Seunghyuk had blasted him with mana. Of course, given our relationship now, he probably wouldn’t go that far—but I’d expected him to at least be thoroughly put off.

I never imagined he’d actually want to do it in a Guiding Room.

But there was no way I could say that out loud.

“Hyung, if you seduce someone, you have to take responsibility.”

Seunghyuk smiled sweetly as he unbuttoned my shirt.

“But...”

“Don’t move. What if a button pops off?”

“Mmngh...”

In the end, I had no choice but to accept his hands.

***

“Damn, today was rough.”

A voice came from outside. Someone had entered the Guiding Room area.

My blood ran cold. But Seunghyuk, completely unfazed, held onto my waist.

“Seunghyuk—”

I grabbed his hand in panic.

“Th-there are other people here. They’ll hear us.”

“Let them.”

“Please... Seunghyuk...”

He clicked his tongue, then ran his thumb gently along the corner of my eye.

“You’re the one who asked for it—so why are you crying?”

I couldn’t tell him the truth—that I did all this just to get dumped—so I hurriedly made an excuse.

“I thought we’d just do it once...”

“And you think we’re going to stop after just one time? After seducing me like that?”

“...Sorry...”

Seunghyuk wrapped his arms around me. As the two of us lay down together, the Esper reclining chair was completely filled.

“Don’t apologize.”

He patted my back. I guess he wasn’t planning to go for another round. Relieved, I buried my face in his chest.

“Okay.”

“...By the way, Lee Yeonsu, were you always this lewd?”

“...No.”

I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head.

Even if I kept trying to act like some horny beast, it didn’t seem like he was going to lose interest.

I used to think Seunghyuk was the type who found more pleasure in conquest than in sex—but clearly, I was wrong.

Even if that were true, if I kept this up, I’d probably die of exhaustion before I got dumped.

“Liar. You’re filthy.”

Seunghyuk slipped a finger into my mouth and slowly rubbed it along my tongue.

“I thought you were this calm and proper guy, so I held back and held back... but if you’re this dirty, how am I supposed to live in peace?”

His hand brushed along my lips, down my jaw, then my neck.

“I want to put a leash around this pretty neck and lock you away.”

“......”

His eyes swirled with a fierce, obsessive glow.

“From now on, tell me everything you do.”

“...What?”

“Who you’re with, where you go, what you’re doing. Report all of it.”

“You’re... joking, right?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

His hand slowly traced my neck. Chilling mana followed the movement, clinging to my skin like a leash.

“Report everything. Otherwise... I don’t know what I’ll do.”

***

My second plan to get dumped by Joo Seunghyuk also failed—spectacularly.

To think we actually did that in the Guiding Room... I felt like I’d become the main bottom in a hardcore BL.

And far from getting dumped, all I’d accomplished was increasing his obsession stat even higher.

Just arrived at the lecture hall. About to attend the Ethics of Guiding class.

I sent Seunghyuk a message as soon as I sat down. A long sigh slipped from my mouth.

How the hell did things end up like this?

Seunghyuk used to hate clingy, forward people. Not just Yeonsu—he didn’t like it from any Guide.

So why did his preferences change?

Because of my dumb stunt, I was now one step away from being imprisoned, and on top of that, I had to report my every move to him.

It was a nightmare.

I turned to the person sitting behind me—Kim Jun—and asked:

“Jun-ah.”

“Yes, sunbae!”

“What kind of person is your ideal type?”

So much had changed from the original. Maybe something about Kim Jun had changed too.

“...Huh? My ideal type?”

He flinched like I’d asked the most shocking question in the world.

Is that really so surprising?
