His fingers twitched, itching with the urge.
His mind screamed at him to act now, to shove Yeonwoo deep inside himself before that godawful scenario Sungchan described could happen.
“Shin Heesung.”
Just as Heesung reached for Yeonwoo with feverish eyes, Han Jihyuk—finally regaining his senses—grabbed him.
Jihyuk’s grip was iron around Heesung’s wrist, his gaze icy as it bore into him.
“Snap out of it. Don’t even think about doing something disgusting.”
Heesung didn’t even register Jihyuk’s uncharacteristically harsh tone.
His violet eyes were fixated solely on Yeonwoo.
“Let go. Yeonwoo is mine. Mine—”
“Since when was he yours? He’s been shared from the beginning.”
“No—no! He’s my cock sleeve, mine—!”
When Heesung convulsively tried to use his ability, Jihyuk seized him by the collar and yanked him close.
“Stop acting like a rabid dog unless you want to die. Do you really think you can take me, Shin Heesung?”
Jihyuk’s voice was low, dangerous.
His glare was like a blade pressed to Heesung’s throat.
Even if all four of them were the same rank, there was still a hierarchy.
And Jihyuk was the one who could wield his ability to its absolute peak—that was why he was the team leader.
“Mine… Yeonwoo, Yeonwoo—”
With his movements completely restrained, Heesung began to unravel.
His purple eyes lost focus, his mind fracturing as he repeated the same words like a madman.
Jihyuk dragged him out and locked him in another room.
Leaving him here would only risk more insanity.
When Jihyuk returned to Yeonwoo’s room, he found Kim Sungchan sprawled on the floor.
Thanks to Lee Dohoon, Sungchan had barely escaped Kang Taewon’s grip, his face flushed red as he coughed violently.
“What should we do, Jihyuk? If it were you—could you really share our Yeonwoo with those other bastards?”
“What answer do you want to hear?”
“You already know. As much as it makes me sick, Kim Sungchan’s telling the truth.”
Jihyuk fell silent at Dohoon’s words.
Nearby, Taewon was still seething, glaring daggers at Sungchan.
“I don’t want to believe that we can’t handle Yeonwoo on our own. Kim Sungchan—can you even take responsibility for what you’ve said?”
Sungchan, barely composed, shakily pushed himself up and met Jihyuk’s cold, blue gaze.
He swallowed hard.
Men like Jihyuk were the scariest—far worse than hotheads like Taewon, who wore their rage openly.
Knowing his next words mattered, Sungchan steadied himself and spoke.
“…I wouldn’t lie after being dragged into this mess. I value my life too.”
“So?”
That single word carried unspoken weight.
Explain.
Make me believe you.
“I get why you can’t accept it. Four S-rank Espers, yet we can’t handle one Go Yeonwoo? Sounds ridiculous. But you already know the answer, don’t you?”
“…”
“This is my first time experiencing Yeonwoo’s guiding, but it’s not yours, Jihyuk. If even I can tell how absurd his power is, how could you not?”
Sungchan’s gaze shifted to Yeonwoo, who lay breathing evenly.
“His guide rank is beyond S-rank—maybe even unmeasurable. Honestly, if that insane level of guiding could be quantified, that would be the real abnormality.”
Sungchan still couldn’t believe it.
Even after experiencing Yeonwoo’s power firsthand, it felt impossible.
No human should be capable of that.
It’d be more believable if Yeonwoo were some monstrous entity from the Gates.
“Of course the four of you can’t handle him alone. That’s just how it is. If you want to keep Yeonwoo by your side… this is the only way.”
No one replied. The room was left drowning in thick, suffocating silence.
“Ghk—kuh—huk—”
“Tighten up properly.”
“Kuh—hk…!”
“I said tighten.”
I gasped, my mouth falling open under the pressure on my throat.
Han Jihyuk gripped my neck firmly as he drove his cock into me at a punishing pace.
His other hand clutched my hip hard enough to bruise, rocking into me relentlessly.
My body was folded in half, pressed flush against him without an inch of space between us.
Han Jihyuk’s gaze never left me, watching intently before finally lowering his head completely.
By now, the way he kissed me while fucking into me was familiar—and undeniably hot.
To anyone else, his expression might have seemed as indifferent as always, but I could see it clearly.
Han Jihyuk wasn’t in a good state.
Of course, the other three weren’t any better.
They’d all grown rougher, fucking into me like wild beasts possessed by their own lust.
Ever since I’d fallen seriously ill that one time, all four of them had clung to me whenever possible.
Even if they didn’t say it outright, their psychological instability was written all over their actions.
‘I didn’t expect the plan to work this well.’
I was more than satisfied. My mood floated light as a cloud.
Even as Han Jihyuk pounded into me without restraint, I quickly assessed my physical state.
Just as intended, my guiding energy remained unstable, thrashing wildly inside me—as if my body was barely containing it.
It was a flawless deception, convincing enough to fool even Kim Sungchan, a healing esper.
‘I only thought about it, but I never imagined I could fake real pain like this.’
The reason my condition could deteriorate so convincingly was simple: the guiding energy inside me was too capable.
I’d wished for my body to appear pained without actual harm, and it had obeyed.
The guiding energy within me had responded to my will.
I’d been thinking about this ever since returning from the gate.
I knew that if I showed them a severe bout of illness, their inner conflicts would deepen.
At the same time, I needed to slowly reveal the truth about Go Yeonwoo—something they still didn’t know.
Sure, I’d only dropped a small hint, but it was enough.
Just letting them know that I’d merged bodies with Koo Hyukjun was sufficient.
I already knew they were investigating him because of the traces found on the gate’s monsters.
And they weren’t making as much progress as they’d hoped.
So, I had to help them along. The timing was just right.
Creak—hk!
“Hngh—ah—hah—!”
The bed screamed in protest as Han Jihyuk ravaged my hole with brutal thrusts.
Then, he suddenly pulled back, his face twisting.
He’d already cum once inside me, and now his second release was approaching.
The way his brows furrowed, biting his lip, was unbearably sexy.
As a reward for how prettily he was behaving, I clenched tightly around the head of his cock pressing against my walls.
Han Jihyuk let out a low groan—then came violently.
“Kh—!”
His eyes fluttered shut as he emptied himself deep inside me, filling my ass with searing heat.
A scream-like moan tore from my throat at the sensation.
“Ah—ah—!”
When Han Jihyuk’s eyes opened again, his body trembled as he stared down at me, drinking in the sight of me taking his cum.
Then, abruptly, he began releasing his energy.
It was such an obvious ploy—trying to drain my guiding energy on purpose.
I barely stifled a laugh.
Han Jihyuk never looked away from me, not even as he finished.
His gaze was relentless, scrutinizing my condition before finally resting a hand on my cum-filled stomach.
“Hng—kuh—!”
The merciless pressure forced my body to tense instinctively.
My hole clenched around his cock in response.
“…Hah.”
Han Jihyuk exhaled deeply, watching me shiver before suddenly snapping his hips up.
My mouth fell open in a silent gasp, and he did it again.
The energy radiating from him grew stronger.
The stifling pressure in the room bore down on me, threatening to crush my organs.
The stronger an esper’s energy, the stronger my guiding energy naturally became.
Even without my conscious will, it flowed ceaselessly into Han Jihyuk.
Thrust—thrust—
