I'm Not Your Fated Guide, But...

A 92% compatibility rating—the highest the Center has ever recorded—should have made Esper Gye Joon-Min and Guide Won Yoo-Gyul the flawless pair everyone expected. Instead, from the very moment they meet, the two clash relentlessly, their seemingly destined match dissolving into endless friction. For Yoo-Gyul, the conflict runs far deeper than professional irritation. He has quietly loved Joon-Min for years, all while convincing himself the feeling could never be returned. Nine years ago, Joon-Min imprinted on a guide, and Yoo-Gyul resigned himself to the belief that the esper would never belong to him unless that old bond faded. Carrying a one-sided devotion while working alongside the very man who holds his heart has become a private, persistent ache. Yet as time goes on and their paths remain intertwined, Yoo-Gyul begins to suspect that hope may not be lost after all. The question remains: can these two ever share the kind of tender, heartfelt guiding that other pairs experience so effortlessly?
