"I was a bit surprised when you suddenly collapsed. I haven't even received proper guidance yet… I guess you have a weak constitution?"
Before Jae-jin could even think deeply, a large hand came carelessly into his groin.
Seo Ui-woo felt and touched the inside of Jae-jin's square drawer as if it were natural. If it had been Kwon Jae-jin in the first round, it would have been the timing for him to have a serious expression, grit his teeth, and kick.
At that time, Jae-jin thought he was being dragged to an unfamiliar place and forcibly taken over. That was true.
However, for Kwon Jae-jin, Seo Ui-woo's house was incredibly familiar, and this sudden request for guidance was not the first or second time he had experienced it.
This kind of situation is already a daily occurrence for Kwon Jae-jin.
Now is the time to get excited.
"Hey, Seo Ui-woo."
Jae-jin clicked his tongue inwardly as he spoke. His chest felt a little hot.
"Why?"
"Just out of curiosity, do you remember me?"
"Have we met before? If we had, I wouldn't have missed you… … ."
"No, that's not it. Okay, that's fine then."
As expected, Seo Ui-woo looked unaware of anything. His gray eyes, staring at Jae-jin clearly, were transparent without any sense of incongruity.
As he quietly looked into those eyes, his chest felt slightly hotter and heavier, as if something was blocking it.
'Am I the only one who's experienced regression? Tsk.'
It might be good that Seo Ui-woo didn't regress, which means…
'I guess that means I'm the only one who got caught up in the gate and died.'
The only person who returned was Kwon Jae-jin.
The only person who dies four years later is Kwon Jae-jin.
'I can't be sure, but perhaps the moment the gate appeared, space-time was temporarily distorted. I was sucked into it and ended up going back in time.'
It has already been a century since the first Gate Impact occurred and various creatures in the form of monsters poured out from it. Human society regained stability through the existence of Espers and Guides who fought against it, but the Gate has remained in unknown territory to this day.
Research is currently ongoing on this topic, and numerous hypotheses and theories have been proposed, but none of them have been proven to be correct. There are still many more facts about the Gate that humanity has yet to discover than what it has already uncovered.
Most of the information is unknown, and Kwon Jae-jin, who was born a commoner, knows even less. There is no way a mutant from a non-Awakened background could know something that even the Awakened don't know.
'Well, there's no need to dwell on the reason why I regressed right now. I won't be able to find an answer even if I think about it. The more important issue is what happened four years later.'
Four years later. It was a certain future that the gate would burst in the yard of Seo Ui-woo's mansion.
It is also a certain future that Kwon Jae-jin gets caught up in that gate and dies with his limbs torn off.
If he doesn't get out of this house by then, Kwon Jae-jin will die.
In the first round, he somehow managed to slip through the space-time rift and return to the past, but there is no guarantee that he will do the same in the second round. So Jae-jin had to avoid the gate that would occur four years later at all costs.
'It's a shame to die once at such a young age, so I can't die twice.'
If Kwon Jae-jin runs out of this house alone or persuades Seo Ui-woo to move in with him, it's over.
If there is a way to avoid death, he wants to avoid it.
In that sense, this return could not have been anything other than a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
'I can't stand this kind of ruined life!'
He must survive no matter what he has to do, and this time, please, please! He must fight for a decent life.
He will let him enjoy all the fun in the world, experience all the valuable and good things, spend billions of dollars like water, and indulge him in all kinds of delicious delicacies. This way, he will enjoy a long life until he is a hundred years old, and close his eyes peacefully as if he were sleeping in a quiet mountain cabin.
To do that, first of all,
'I need Seo Ui-woo's cooperation.'
Kwon Jae-jin knows. Seo Ui-woo is an S-class Esper.
S-class Esper. He had no idea what this short and simple expression meant in his first life, but now he knows it so well that it makes his blood boil.
He is an unparalleled user of multiple powers, capable of teleportation, creating clones of himself, and even using his powers unconsciously.
In other words, there is simply no way to escape from him.
Even when ordinary espers are usually powerless, he is not vulnerable. He can use telekinesis even when asleep or unconscious and can track Jae-jin's movements easily. He is an absurd ability user.
This mansion in particular was completely his domain.
From the moment he set foot here, Kwon Jae-jin was no different from standing in the palm of Seo Ui-woo's hand. No matter how hard he tried to escape, it was useless, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not leave his territory unless Seo Ui-woo allowed him to.
'That said, this isn't the first time. I'm not feeling frustrated all of a sudden.'
If there was no way to exclude Seo Ui-woo, then all one had to do was simply get his cooperation and throw him out.
And that's not particularly difficult.
'I don't know what that guy Seo Ui-woo was thinking, but he clung to me quite a bit and said he liked me.'
In the first round, it took 4 years for him to become a lover. So how much time will it take in the second round?
'I heard the words 'let's date' after three years.'
At that time, Kwon Jae-jin turned down the offer to date as soon as he heard it, but if he accepted it nicely this time, they could become lovers even after three years.
'No, if I refuse to guide and don't engage in a fierce war with Seo Ui-woo, there's no need to drag it out for three years.'
If Kwon Jae-jin had obediently followed the guidance, he wouldn't waste three years.
If that happens, it will take about a year to teach and persuade Seo Ui-woo about our position, or even before that, we will be able to build a friendly relationship.
This was a match that depended entirely on how well Jaejin could charm and tame Seo Uiwoo.
A challenge that cannot fail and a game in which the winner is already determined.
'Seo Ui-woo needs me anyway.'
For an Esper, a Guide is an absolute necessity.
This is especially true for powerful Espers.
As the power used is great, the aftereffects are also great. Therefore, they cannot help but desperately desire guidance that can help them to alleviate the imbalance.
Seo Ui-woo needs Kwon Jae-jin.
Kwon Jae-jin also needs Seo Ui-woo.
In the first round, Kwon Jae-jin didn't need Seo Ui-woo, but in the second round, Kwon Jae-jin needed Seo Ui-woo. To survive.
'Then isn't the story already over?'
Jae-jin swallowed dryly. His fingertips twitched slightly, then he clenched his fists tightly as if he were trying to grab hold of something.
No problem.
He can already see the future ahead.
Unlike the time when he was unaware of anything and was treated mercilessly, this time he could easily grab Seo Ui-woo and shake him up.
He understands Seo Ui-woo's mindset well and he knows the right words and actions to influence him. If he dangles guidance as bait, Seo Ui-woo.
Seo Ui-woo is just simple.
"…Ugh!"
Jae-jin's thoughts were interrupted by an unpleasant intrusion. He felt a foreign object in his buttocks.
Seo Ui-woo, who had already taken off Jae-jin's garments, was spreading his ass open and inserting his index finger into his asshole. He dug deep inside and began to rip open his soft inner walls. Jae-jin's knees shot up.
'What… What is it?'
Jae-jin frowned.
Even though only one finger was inserted, his whole body froze as if rejecting it. His eyes shot open wide, his legs curled up, his lower body became tense and his wrinkles clenched tightly.
'It hurts…?'
His body was tensing up on its own.
Even though he had experienced this guiding countless times in the first round, this was his first time experiencing it in the second round. Even if you learned how to swim in theory, it's the same as sinking when you go into the water.
No matter how mentally prepared he was and how determined he was to accept guidance, Kwon Jae-jin's body did not follow his thoughts.
"This… Are you doing this on purpose? This is bad."
Seo Ui-woo bent his knuckles and pried the hardened flesh. Even though it didn't go in well, he forced it in, and the dull pain got worse. Jae-jin urgently stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Seo Ui-woo. Please wait a moment."
Of course, Seo Ui-woo did not stop.
Instead, he used his other hand to spread his buttocks to the sides and tried to thrust further into him.
"Ouch!"
Ha, this bastard.
Yeah, that's right.
Seo Eui-woo, this son of a bitch was like this.
This guy is the one who clings to you, gropes you, sucks your tongue, and thrusts his dick in you without even thinking about your circumstances. Guiding is the guide's duty, so he doesn't think it's wrong to do such coercive things.
Jae-jin's ears turned a little red in embarrassment as he faced a more difficult situation than he had expected. Even so, it was not something he could easily back down from.
Jae-jin grabbed Seo Uiwoo's wrist, which was poking around inside.
