Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301: THE HEIR

AH, I’m dreaming.

That was what Yuno thought while watching a ’scene’ play right in front of him.

This is my memory, though.

"Should I adopt you, Yuyu?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yuno frowned because of two things.

First, he still couldn’t get used to how Moon Noa addressed people now.

This person used to keep everyone at arm’s length. But, now, he keeps giving us weird pet names. Plus, he suddenly became cheerful.

The Moon Noa that he met was cold and reserved.

But, now, this hyung is acting like a goofy uncle.

Anyway, the second reason he felt annoyed was because...

"Noa Hyung-nim, I know that you’re way older than me, but why would you adopt me?" Yuno asked, scoffing. "I’m an adult— I don’t need a guardian."

Moon Noa looked at Yuno, and then he smiled as if he were sad. "You’re right. And you’re even old enough to draw lewd things."

"Ahem."

"You’ll also start working at my convenience store. Most of all, you’re moving out," Moon Noa said, suddenly acting like he was crying. "I shouldn’t have built a house above the convenience store. Yuyu, forget about the house. Let’s just live together forever."

"Hyung-nim, you don’t like me that much."

"What are you talking about? I like you plenty."

"Don’t lie to yourself," Yuno said, scoffing. "I know you have a small heart. You’re only capable of loving a few people. Unfortunately, a huge part of your heart is already occupied by Ryu Sungbin-ssi."

Moon Noa looked shocked while looking at Yuno, blinking rapidly as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. "You said my heart is small? Did you mean that in a literal sense or what?"

"How could I mean that literally, Hyung-nim? You’re an adult, duh. So, the size of your heart should be average. Or maybe yours is actually bigger. After all, high-ranking Awakened People need a bigger heart to store their Core."

"Ah, you’re right. You actually surprised me there, Yuyu."

"What do you mean by that, Hyung-nim?"

"I thought you discovered my secret."

"What secret?"

"That I have a small heart?"

Bullshit.

"As expected, we should really go our separate ways, Sajangnim."

Moon Noa gasped. "Why are you suddenly calling me ’sajangnim’ instead of ’hyung?’"

"You’re my boss now, so I’ll call you ’Sajangnim’ starting today," Yuno said, waving his hand dismissively. "Please don’t act like you know me in public."

"Yuyu, stop being mean to me."

"I’ll call you ’hyung-nim’ again if you tell me about what happened that day."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, Yuyu."

"Our memories were synchronized up to a certain point only," Yuno said bluntly. "You’re hiding something from me, Sajangnim."

"Don’t take it to heart, Yuyu," Moon Noa said while patting his shoulder. "I’m doing this to protect you."

***

SO, the secret was really about Sajangnim’s heart.

That was Yuno’s first thought after his ’dream’ ended.

But what does he mean by protecting me?

"Noh Yuno, you’re awake?"

Yuno opened his eyes when he heard Ki Gayoon’s voice.

As expected, the Esper looked very worried about him.

"Hyung, I’m alright," Yuno assured Ki Gayoon immediately while getting up. "I’m not in pain anymore."

Ki Gayoon let out a relieved sigh. "I’m glad to hear that. Lee Woonhak checked on you earlier, but he couldn’t find anything wrong with you." The Esper’s face hardened. "Is it the System again?"

"Yes, Hyung. Apparently, my connection to Sajangnim had been severed already."
