“I need you, Su-ha-ssi.”
Chaewon, who awakened as Korea’s first S-Class Psychokinesis Esper at the very moment of his death, receives the expectations of everyone in one body.
However, as his weak body is the problem, he suffers from excessive side effects whenever he uses his abilities.
The one assigned to be Chaewon’s pair is Jin Su-ha, a Guide who possesses excellent combat skills, physical abilities, and even Guiding capabilities.
To think a perfect Guide is his pair; he looked forward to it with a fluttering heart, but…
“I refuse.”
“Do I really have to do this?”
…Su-ha strongly rejects Chaewon.

[Preview]
“Guide Jin Su-ha.”
“…You can just call me Su-ha-ssi.”
“Yes. Su-ha-ssi.”
Since he had called Chaewon ‘you there,’ it felt somewhat awkward to be addressed as Su-ha-ssi, but he wanted to decline titles like ‘Guide-nim’ even more.
In fact, Espers and Guides active in the field were not given other titles, except for perhaps a team leader.
This was to prevent hesitation when urgent decisions needed to be made in the field due to an overly rigid vertical hierarchy.
There were teams that used titles like senior and junior depending on experience, but even that was not mandatory.
However, even so, no Guide uses a word like ‘you there’ towards their own Esper.
Su-ha felt a bitter taste in his mouth at the sight of Chaewon, who didn’t raise a single word of protest despite the rude address.
Lee Chaewon.
While Su-ha dwelled on his name, which he had not yet called out loud even once, Chaewon continued speaking.
“You don’t like me, do you, Su-ha-ssi?”
Su-ha’s expression, which had been stiff the whole time, wavered significantly for the first time.
Since he had made it so obvious from the start, it wasn’t surprising that he noticed, but he didn’t expect him to ask so openly.
Su-ha looked at Chaewon with his eyes slightly widened.
It was not easy to read what he was thinking from that tranquil face.
Although he was a little flustered, Su-ha thought that perhaps this was for the better and nodded his head immediately.
“Yes. To be honest, that is correct.”
“Is it because my abilities are lacking?”
