Hyeseop is effing miserable! Abused and exploited. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Hyeseop actually became a guide when he was only 14, he became an orphan when his parents died while they were in the US, and he is staying at this awful orphanage. He thought a new good life would start for him when a man saying he was an esper offered him a life in a guild and Hyeseop thought it was better than the orphanage— it wasn't.

When the SS-Dungeon opened, they were at the scene, he was a guide for the Betel's leader, but as a kid Hyeseop was scared out of his mind, everywhere was espers injured, almost dying— it was a devastating scene. And then his esper was carried by his brother approached Hyeseop, his esper was gravely injured and actually demanding to physical guide him (like I'm livid, disgusted— Hyeseop is ONLY 15!!!) but our poor baby is too scared to activate his guiding matter what threat they were barking. I was confused at this part or maybe I was too mad to process what I'm reading, but the thing is something happened an earthquake I think? And Hyeseop's esper fell? In the seismic gap and died. THEN! THE BROTHER HAS THE AUDACITY TO BLAME IT ON HYESEOP! (Sorry I still get so mad at this part!! UUUUGH ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ) Telling him Hyeseop has to atone for what he'd done, his esper died because he couldn't guide him properly and was guilt-trip to be Dietrich's (the mf brother) new guide and the poor baby was so guilt stricken that he agreed and Dietrich practically forced to imprint Hyeseop to him. (Which is by Hyeseop's heart, the tattoo we've seen from the first part. Which us btw banned by the government cause when they break off the imprint it is too close to the heart it was a very risky surgery that could cost that person's life and Dietrich that SOB still did it to Hyeseop)

4 yrs... FOR 4YRS!!! Hyeseop is exploited, isolated, physically abused by Dietrich. He is cut from the world, no tv, no radio, no internet, no phone. Dietrich blame Hyeseop for his brother's death everytime and guilt trip him every moment while Hyeseop guides him. FOR 4 YEARS.( Yes, I am crying, yes I am livid, and I'm going to be again when this part is illustrated in this manwha.)

Worry not, there's salvation— Ren, another Betel esper, that Dietrich asked to feed and ONLY feed (his words) Hyeseop while he was away on a mission for some time. But of course, Ren is actually a green flag, not only he fed Hyeseop he also initiated talks with him, telling him about things he experienced in a dungeon and just his day to day routine (I really love him(⌒▽⌒)).

When Ren disclosed that Dietrich was coming back in 2 days time, Hyeseop had this big reaction and worried Ren, then slowly he discovered that this 18, years old wasn't a shut in but was gaslighted and falsely imprisoned by his esper, without any knowledge of the outside world, what infuriated him most was the imprint on Hyeseop's chest (as I said it's banned by the government and no guild would practice as such) then Dietrich came home and found out that Hyeseop was getting chummy with Ren, physical beatings happen here and there, and this SOB had this disgusting thought of touching Hyeseop just cause he's already 18 (it was indicated but I don't think he touched Hyeseop entirely cause our baby fought him off, or maybe that's my in denial part idk). Then finally Ren, our ever savior, confronted Dietrich about the treatment, abuse and false imprisonment he's doing towards Hyeseop and that he would report everything to their guild leader but our man could only do so much but he promised Hyeseop he would get him out of there, to which our poor baby cling on to even after a long while passed with more abuse from Dietrich.

Then Ren came in prepared to kill Dietrich if he have to just to get Hyeseop out (this part is heartbreaking, I was crying the whole flashback ┗( T﹏T )┛). Ren made Hyeseop promise to never ever guide Dietrich no matter what outcome their battle would ensue. As you all suspect, both are on the verge of dying — Dietrich got ahold of poison against beast-type espers and managed to inject this in Ren when he made dirty tricks to hit Hyeseop with his powers. Of course Ren still overpowered Dietrich but eventually the poison got him and got stabbed. Dietrich already deteriorating angrily commanded Hyeseop to guide him to heal his wounds but Hyeseop promised Ren and he was too terrified to activate his guiding anyways, he felt guilty he was responsible for two more espers dying. Then Ren managed to stand and finally finish off Dietrich but eventually succumb to the poison but not without telling Hyeseop his final words (I'm sorry i can't remember every words he said I was crying at 3am when this happened
(￣ε(#￣)Σ).

Anyways, I'm going to come back for more and as I said sharing is caring. Spread the word for those to want to be spoiled!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Then we are back in the present. Hyeseop found himself in a wrecked town, no one in sight, with nothing but some clothes he packed and a stone, from the monster that possessed Piano Andante gave him he accidentally broughtStarved and exhausted, on the brink of collapsing when an old man found him and helped him. He led Hyeseop in this isolated small cozy farmhouse, the old man let him stayed there without question and Hyeseop was grateful and stayed there helping the old man for a whole month. Hyeseop have no clue what's happening in the outside world, questioning if Andante was even looking for him or not, if he found his resignation letter, etc.

The the old man invited Hyeseop to go to the town on his slow tractor (like seriously slow, i think it was 4 hrs to travel there and another 4 back) then he was introduced to this vendor as an outsider staying in town for a while then Hyeseop saw the news about a SS-ranker looking for a guide and rumor spread that this guide might've had taken something from Onaip and was thought a wanted person. Hyeseop, afraid that it was the stone he was holding on, panicked and needed a way to return it. When Hyeseop and the old man came back home, which is already night time, Hyeseop asked if when they were going back to town again, which is another month later, and Hyeseop couldn't wait that long. So he made a plan, he borrowed the tractor the next day to go to town and bought a phone and a wifi router (I think it was one of those prepaid on the go wifi things, I just called it router to be clear with everyone cause where I'm from we call it broadband). Then he called the one person he didn't expect to ask for help; Shin Haechang.

Haechang answered, asking him usual questions when a person is missing; his location, his well-being. Then he heard Yujin's voice in the background shouting to never tell wherever Hyeseop is and run away as far and as fast as he could. Then there it is— the sweet but cold voice of Andante on the other end. Hyeseop's heart was hurting as Andante asked of where he is but couldn't answer. Then Andante asked in panic concern if he was put up with this by Haechang, threatened or kidnapped but Hyeseop denied everything and said his resolve that he was adamant in leaving Onaip— leaving him and he only called to return the stone he mistakenly carried and told Andante he'd come up a plan to return it immediately. Andante burst out of what he was talking about and such then the call abruptly ended cause Hyeseop was in a very remote place so the signal was bad, he thought it was for the best and as fast as he could book a train ticket to fetch a coordination scroll he hid in case he needs a quick getaway like this, he returns to the old man's home, thinking of ways to ship back the stone and tries to leave again but is hesistant as he already grew fond of the place and the old man but alas he needed to get away from Onaip— from Andante.

Then as he dreaded, Andante was there; hewrtbroken, cold and livid, he found Hyeseop's location with the phone signal and then their bond(idk that's what the novel indicated). Hyeseop grew scared, thinking this is not normal anymore and Andante wad getting obsessed with him and that was a bad thing because another esper was becoming one of his unfortunate victim(Obsession is kind of a desease to espers it blinds their mind and only seek out their imprint or guide they are possessive and with irrational minds it is dangerous to both guides and espers alike; like what happened with Dietrich when he fought with Ren). Hyeseop was afraid the past would repeat itself and he'll be locked up away again. Andante was actually a jerk at this point, like his mind is completely taken over by his emotions and raging on and on and on how he shouldn't have let Hyeseop out of his sight, his side— possessive ML things but not out of obsession, it'll be smooth out by chapter 183-186 and yeah he was still borderline obsessed but not like Dietrich at all. Then Andante noticed the way Hyeseop was looking at him, it was a face of terror, like he wasn't looking at Andante anymore but a predator after his prey. He tried to calm himself down, feeling bad and hurting at the way Hyeseop was looking at him but when he tried to approach his guide a sudden protective shield surround Hyeseop, they were both shock but Andante was more hurt and disbelief that Hyeseop actually believes that he would hurt him and Hyeseop admitted to that. Hyeseop was afraid the way Andante feels isn't love anymore but just obsession mostly when he already had someone else in his heart and it was not Hyeseop (it is Hyeseop guys, again Piano is his baby brother and mc doesn't know that).

Andante was full of emotion and Hyeseop taken over by his trauma with effing annoying misunderstanding hanging in the air between them cause seriously guys COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY! Then out of nowhere a gate appeared behind Hyeseop but it was a weird gate—a mutated gate Andante concluded when there were black shadowy hands that shoots out of it and tried to grab hold of Hyeseop but Andante was faster and tried to grab Hyeseop but only to be electrocuted by the protective barrier around the guide. Then more hands shoots out of the gate and Andante again tried to save Hyeseop but the shield was stubborn— a likeness from his brother, to which Andante found grateful and annoying.

Hyeseop thinking about the old man went inside the house and guided the old man out before the hands shoots out to grab him again, it was fixated on Hyeseop and Andante was sure it was targeting the weaker ones; which are the guides. Hyeseop and the old man barely made it out when the hands decided to destroy the house, the old man devastated sllump down the ground crying for his lost property. Andante managed to destroy the hands but the gate was standing there and adamant to take their target.

Andante wanted to destroy the gate as it'll put Hyeseop in danger but hesitant to leave his guide's side again. Hyeseop knew that and he knows he couldn't escape as long as Andante is there. So he agreed and promised to Andante's proposition to wait for him but as soon as Andante, still hesitant, entered the dungeon gate Hyeseop quick on his feet gave the old man the stone, to hold it tight so he could be safe from the shadowy hands from the gate and bid the old man well wishes and farewell before activating the coordination scroll (basically a teleportation scroll that creates a temporary gate, it was just called that in the novel). Before Hyeseop could enter the gate completely the shadowy hands shoots out of the mutated gated and grab ahold of his backpack. Hyeseop struggled but managed to shake off his backpack and stumbled inside his gate but his pack was pulled back to the mutated gate.

Meanwhile, Andante's mind going crazy worried for Hyeseop when whispers in his lover's voice tries to dissuade him, telling him things how Hyeseop already left (which is true btw haha) and all negative stuff to break his spirit but Andante knew better and just practically shouted at the monster to shut the eff up. Andante finally realized that he was slowly getting poisoned by the air in the dungeon, it doesn't affect him that much or quickly since he's a SS-ranker but it was slowly seeping in. After he defeated the boss, he got out to find Hyeseop missing and the old man alone still grieving for his old home.

In a fit of rage Andante grabs the old man by the collar and demanded where Hyeseop is but the old man in his frail detoriating age only muttered that Hyeseop went in willingly the gate but never told it was another gate, which is another bullet in their list of misunderstanding. In a panic Andante rush back in the closing dungeon, worry and sheer panic that Hyeseop could immediately die just from the poison alone. Then he found it— Hyeseop's backpack on the dungeon floor, this time full on dread filled Andante as he search every crook and cranny of the dungeon, not minding that the gate leading outside was already closed.

I'm purposely leaving this on a cliffhanger cause seriously the novel was a cliffhanger at this point too (￣∇￣") but I'll try to write what happens next cause I know y'all love this for Hyeseop but I don't know if some of you would feel the same way I do towards Andante, cause seriously the poor guy even if he was a jerk. SERIOUSLY COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY!!!

And guys if you are experiencing any hardships or just plain sad I hope you have someone you can lean on to, stay safe always (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Listen here, please, please, please, please no more cliffhangers. Are you trying to offer me? ╥﹏╥

Vrooo yk how to keep us on edge!!! Anyways thankyouuu!!!

Haha thank you ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

So here's another update, got stuck in traffic so I got time to write this out (≧∀≦)

----

When Hyeseop woke up he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Then a new face popped up it was a woman named Selena, who helped him when she and her children found him in the forest. Luckily they were a family of english speakers or else Hyeseop would be in trouble after all he teleported in BAÑOS, ECUADOR!! (Yes, he flew waaaaaaay out of Asia, I was surprised too).

Selena has two children; Teddy her, 17 (when they met), teenager son and obsessed with joining a Korean based guild and Tina, 14, the youngest and enamored with Jin (as what they call Hyeseop) and vowed to marry him (like the girl kept announcing it at every chapter istg haha). He stayed another month in Ecuador with the family, helping him communicate with the community and slowly he learned a spanish word here and there, was actually popular with the locals and even branded an eye candy around town. Then one day Selena asked him to tutor Teddy Korean as he learned that Teddy wanted to join the popular Korean guild— NSA when he awakens, it was the next best thing since no one can join Onaip, the number 1 guild in the whole world. Which was news to Hyeseop, he further asked Teddy what he means by number 1. Apparently the Onaip guild were raiding dungeons by dungeons by dungeons non-stop all over the world, biggest news of all was that Andante was labeled as a dangerous ticking time bomb as he was seen in the news as a crazy dungeon-obssesed monster, going in and out continuously without care if he was covered in dirt or monster blood, or even if he was injured; looking more and more disheveled and far from the popular handsome image he had before.

Hyeseop worries at this news but he knew he'd risk of his whereabouts but worries at Andante nevertheless. He was peacefully living with Selena and her children, he was satisfied with his life, he thought he could get over Andante eventually but then Teddy turned 18. And tested as an esper and A-rank at that to which the family celebrated but Hyeseop dreaded because Teddy sent his application to the NSA and Shin Haechang, afraid of whatever this new mutated gate could do to the world and without help from Onaip, he was sure it would devastate the country's safety, since they lack protection-skilled espers, which is Teddy's powers are. Even with Korea's esper age restriction (Teddy is only 18, and by law he could only get accepted in any Korean guild by the age of 21 so he could only apply for an institution for young espers aspiring to apply for guilds, which Hyeseop explained to Teddy) Shin Haechang accepted Teddy's application due to urgent circumstances, meaning Hyeseop didn't tell Selena or her family about his circumstances and relationship with Onaip or Nsa or even his history as a guide (this poor baby seriously needs therapy, 4 years of abuse could really get a toll on you).

Upon interview with his mom and got accepted right away, Hyeseop was worried Teddy might say, purposely or even accidentally (he did), of his whereabouts; contemplating to go but he doesn't have anymore scrolls for a quick getaway and he doesn't have his backpack, or even go to the airport cause he'd be spotted. In short, he's stuck. And what's more worrying is that a mutated gate appeared in Argentina, which the government adviced the town to evacuate to minimize any collateral damage.

Selena invited Hyeseop to live with them in Korea where they'll be safe since Teddy in now an esper of NSA but he told them he can't due to circumstances he left in Korea to which the woman understood and left with her youngest.

Then yes, Teddy accidentally slipped out that there's a black-haired handsome Korean guy living with them back in Baños after promising to Hyeseop that he'll keep his mouth shut (Honestly this kid, so funny (≧∀≦)) to Shin Haechang.
