Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: A CLONING DEVICE

A few moments ago...

"DUDE, you’re really going?"

"Of course, I am," Ki Gayoon said while getting up. "I need to save Baekho and Yu Minju. Plus, I need to know why Noh Yuno’s siblings want to meet me."

"Are you not going to tell Yuno?" 17 asked. "This concerns him, too."

"It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission from your lover, you know?"

"Yuno will kill you."

"Well, it’s better than letting him put his life at risk again," Ki Gayoon said. "Take care of Noh Yuno in the meantime."

He really didn’t want to leave Noh Yuno’s side.

But he’d rather go alone and meet those ’siblings’ than bring his lover in another dangerous place.

Noh Yuno won’t be happy with my decision, but at least, he’ll be safe here.

"Fine," 17 said, shaking his head. "But don’t forget that I warned you, okay?"

"Yeah, whatever," Ki Gyaoon said, pulling the small piece of paper that came out of the pink turtle’s mouth as if it were a fax machine. The paper contained the address where the ’kidnappers’ wanted to meet him. "Noh Yuno better be safe until I return, 17."

"AND THAT’s what happened."

Yuno leaned against the door behind him after listening to 17’s slightly long summary of what happened while he was busy.

So, Baekho and Yu Minju were kidnapped.

And the kidnappers were his ’siblings.’

I suppose we can’t protect everyone when we’re barely surviving while dealing with the shit that the enemies have been throwing our way.

But why would his ’siblings’ agree to meet Ki Gayoon instead of Yuno?

That’s suspicious.

He already knew that the ’siblings’ he had met were no longer his real ’siblings.’

My real ’siblings’ have long been gone.

"Are you worried about Gayoon even though he’s a strong Esper?"

"Of course, I am. Just because he’s the strongest Esper doesn’t mean he’s immortal. I can still lose him at any moment, and that scares the shit out of me."

"Aww. You must really love him, huh?"

"Crazy, right? I fell for that personality."

17 laughed out loud as if he had just heard the funniest thing in his life.

And I’m not even trying to be funny...

"Yuno, do you want to follow Gayoon?"

"You know where Hyung has gone, sir?"

"I told you not to address me too formally~"

"17 Hyung-nim."

"Very well," 17 said, obviously satisfied that Yuno addressed him as ’hyung-nim’ instead of ’sir.’ "I happen to see the address written on the paper that he received from Yu Minju. Should we go?"

"Yes, but before that..." Yuno looked outside the window. From where he stood, he could see Haru standing in front of where Osaki Shohei was last seen alive. "I need to talk to Haru-nim first."

***

A JUNKYARD.

Ki Gayoon found himself in the middle of a junkyard.

I guess it’s more appropriate to say that this is a ’scrapyard’ since this place is full of wrecked cars.

It looked like an ordinary salvage/wrecking yard at first.

But the strong barriers around made it obvious that it was being used as a hideout by Awakened People.

Moreover, the barriers weren’t just meant to protect the place from trespassers.

It works as a cover because it makes the scrapyard almost invisible.

If Ki Gayoon didn’t receive the ’invitation,’ aka the paper that Yu Minju had sent him, he probably would have never found the place.

"Boss."

Oh.

***

It’s bittersweet, but that’s life.

OH, so Baekho was spot-on with his warning earlier.
