YUNO's motto was to work as just much as he was paid.
But how could he half-ass his Guiding when he had a 100% matching rate with Ki Gayoon? He expected that his matching rate with the grumpy old man would be 50% max, but what was this?
We're the first pair to receive a 100% matching rate in the entire country!
"I can't accept this result."
That was Yuno's sentiment as well, but the complaint didn't come from him.
Guide Bambi barged into the room and expressed his desire to contest the results of Yuno's matching rate with Ki Gayoon.
Naturally, Ki Gayoon scoffed at Guide Bambi's complaint. "Why do I need to care about whether you accept the result or not? This is between me and the little shit—"
"I agree with Guide Bambi-ssi's opinion," Yuno said, cutting off Ki Gayoon on purpose. The grumpy old man glared at him, but he ignored him. "Even in other countries, it's rare to receive a 100% matching rate. Can we try other machines?"
"Of course," Guide Bambi said, nodding. "We have plenty of machines that we can use here. Follow me."
Whew.
I'm relieved this isn't the only machine they have here.
Yuno was about to follow Guide Bambi when, suddenly, Ki Gayoon grabbed him with his hoodie as if he were grabbing a cat by the scruff of its neck. "Ahjussi, what do you think you're doing—"
"I should be the one asking that," Ki Gayoon said in a low, threatening voice. "We made a bet, remember? And I won."
"You haven't won yet, Ahjussi. Didn't you hear what Guide Bambi said? We have to make sure that the result was right."
"Hah! Don't you think I wouldn't know you're just trying to run away?"
That was true, but…
"Ahjussi, if we really have a 100% matching rate, then it means we'll be required to have sex if we have to," Yuno complained. Well, the situation was a bit complicated because E-Class Guides were exclusive Guides that could only Imprint to one Esper. But his main concern was the sex part. "Can I imagine yourself having sex with me?"
"Why not?" Ki Gayoon asked bluntly. "If you give me consent, all I need is to stick it in. What's so hard about that?"
Haaah.
It's scary to think that most Espers think this way.
But Yuno knew there was actually nothing wrong with what Ki Gayoon said.
Sex between a Guide and an Esper should be strictly professional, after all.
Having said that…
"Ahjussi, are you saying your bedroom skills suck?"
"What?"
"You're probably not good in bed if you think you just have to put it in," Yuno said, scoffing at Ki Gayoon with a straight face. "Ahjussi, if we're going to do it in the future, at least let me come."
Ki Gayoon's face turned red.
Whether it was from embarrassment or anger, Yuno wouldn't know.
"Noh Yuno!"
Oh.
It's from anger, I see.
Yuno just stuck out his tongue at Ki Gayoon before running away from the grumpy old man.
***
[CONGRATULATIONS, Esper Ki Gayoon and Guide Noh Yuno!
You have a 100% matching rate!]
Yuno almost fell on his knees when the 13th machine that they used gave them the same matching rate result.
"I can't believe this…"
Again, that was Yuno's sentiment, which Guide Bambi voiced.
That's what I want to say, too.
To be honest, Yuno was a bit disappointed in Guide Bambi.
No— he actually felt a bit betrayed.
Guide Bambi seems like the crafty type, so I thought he'd tamper with the machine. I know that it's almost impossible to do that. But, hey, a guy can dream.
"It's really a 100% matching rate," Guide Bambi whispered. "The first in South Korea."
Oh, god.
Yuno should probably say goodbye to his virginity soon.
"That's the last available machine, right?" Ki Gayoon asked Guide Bambi impatiently. "If we're done here, then get out."
Bambi Guide knitted his eyebrows. "Why are you kicking me out—"
"If you want to watch me make out with my Guide, then feel free to stay."
Excuse me?
Guide Bambi looked genuinely hurt by what Ki Gayoon said, and then he glared at Yuno.
What did I do?
Fortunately, Guide Bambi didn't pick a fight this time and just left the room in a hurry.
Wait, take me with you!
Yuno unconsciously took a step forward, but…
"We need to talk, Noh Yuno."
He tried to ignore Ki Gayoon, but a literal wall emerged from the floor— effectively blocking his way.
This grumpy old man…!
"Hey, are you crazy?" Yuno complained, turning around to face Ki Gayoon. "Why would you use your ability inside the Bureau?"
Ki Gayoon took a step forward.
Yuno immediately took two steps backwards, and then his back hit the wall behind him.
That was a dangerous position.
"Anything but a wall slam, please," Yuno pleaded in a frustrated voice. "That would be so cringe-y!"
Of course, Ki Gayoon didn't listen.
The grumpy old man slammed his hands on either side of Yuno's head.
Now he was trapped between the cold wall behind her and Ki Gayoon's solid and warm body.
Wait, that sounds like the cringey script I read for a living!
"Noh Yuno, you lost the bet," Ki Gayoon said, smirking yet still looking pissed. "Now call me properly."
I know I should, but I don't want this Ahjussi to get what he wants.
Even so, he promised himself he'd live a decent life.
"H-Hyung…"
Ki Gayoon smiled arrogantly.
And I took that personally.
"Come on," Ki Gayoon encouraged Yuno in a haughty manner. "Say it again, Noh Yuno."
Yuno shut his eyes tight and yelled at the ahjussi's face. "Ahjuhyung!"
