How the Guide Escapes the Obsessive Lover Chapter 18

"Ack!"

I scread and shot up in bed. Above was a stark white ceiling, different from the one just a mont ago.

‘Where am I? Where’s Joo Seunghyuk? Kim Jun?’

I darted my eyes around in a panic.

A simple desk and laptop. A folding table set to one side. A worn-out stuffed dog under the bed. This was my dorm room.

Neither Joo Seunghyuk nor Kim Jun were anywhere to be seen. My arms and legs were free, and I had no injuries.

‘So it was a dream...’

Relief that I was alive swept over —but right behind it ca a wave of bitter frustration.

"Shit, when did I ever cloud your vision? You just slamd the door and refused to look..."

Words I’d been too afraid to say to Joo Seunghyuk slipped out belatedly.

It might’ve been just a dream, but my entire body was trembling. Cold sweat dripped down my back. His eyes. The beatings. That killing intent. It had all been too real.

What the hell kind of dream was that?

It was similar to a scene from the novel. In the original, Lee Yeonsu also t a brutal end at Joo Seunghyuk’s house.

But the conversation had been completely different.

Was it... a premonition?

Sure, Joo Seunghyuk was obsessed with right now—but maybe the dream was telling that the original plot wouldn’t change in the end.

I clasped my trembling hands together. I couldn’t just sit here.

I had to take action. I had to escape this obsessive lunatic.

I’d heard there was a Guide among this year’s new recruits who’d joined Changwi Guild.

I asked Jihui noona to introduce to him. In exchange for buying lunch, I was able to get access to the first-years’ class schedules.

First-years had a lot of mandatory major classes, so the titables were all pretty similar. That ant I could probably deduce Kim Jun’s schedule too.

Thankfully, the kid brought it up himself—saying he was in the sa class as an F-rank Guide—so I was able to figure out Kim Jun’s titable more easily than expected.

Today, during fifth period, Kim Jun would be in the Central Training Center taking a course called Guiding Basics.

I texted Joo Seunghyuk in advance.
