The Leopold Team, composed of A-rank Espers from Sector 4, was led by Baek Eu-jin, an 11-year veteran healer-type Esper.

That is until an accident involving his team’s Guide changed everything.

An unprecedented event occurred: both an A-rank Esper and an A-rank Guide lost their abilities. The shocking incident sent Sector 4 into chaos, but Baek Eu-jin secretly celebrated, looking forward to a peaceful retirement.

But then…

“Choi Ran’s ability came back! And it’s a healing power! The same type as yours, Captain!”

Baek Eu-jin, who had been dreaming of a carefree, unemployed life, suddenly finds himself reawakening—not as an Esper, but as a Guide. To make things stranger, his and the Guide’s abilities seem to have switched.

Although disheartened at first, Eu-jin quickly adjusts to the comforts of a desk job as a Guide—one far easier than his days as an Esper.

He might have even been able to enjoy this peaceful office life, if not for Kwon Su-ho.

“Do you really like desk jobs that much?”

“Between the steady paycheck, safe work environment, and fixed hours, I’d say there’s no comparison.”

“… Fair enough.”

The man, surprisingly, agreed without much resistance. His quick acceptance made Eu-jin uneasy, and that unease was validated when Kwon Su-ho added something unexpected.

“In that case, I just need to make your job harder.”

“What?”

Rising from his seat, Su-ho tousled his hair messily, pressing his knuckles hard against his lips. His flesh turned red and swelled slightly under the pressure.

Satisfied, Su-ho ran his thumb over his reddened lips, then tugged at the black turtleneck he wore, as if regretting his choice of attire.

“I shouldn’t have worn this. If I’d gone with a shirt, I could’ve ripped a few buttons off.”

“What are you doing?”

“Getting ready to make things difficult for you, Baek Eu-jin.”

Su-ho’s deliberately disheveled appearance gave off the impression of a man who had just been through a heated make-out session.

With clear intent, he took long strides toward the Guiding Room door, leaving Eu-jin no time to stop him.

“Wait, no! Stop!”

Despite Eu-jin’s desperate plea, the doorknob turned, and the door swung open. The noise from outside flooded in as Su-ho stepped out and looked back at Eu-jin with a sly smile.

“I really enjoyed today, Guide.”

With an unmistakably suggestive glance, Su-ho shut the door behind him.

The Guiding Room fell silent once more. Eu-jin, stunned, muttered under his breath.

“That crazy bastard.”

Just as Eu-jin feared, the rumor spread like wildfire.
