♥︎ Yeo Hanseo (Baekgu): Subject 109 in the research institute's Guide experiments. After awakening as an Esper, he escaped the institute but was captured by a cult leader and forced to live as his dog. After dying and regressing due to a chance discovery of the "Book of Prophecy," he approaches Gu Jei disguised as "Yeo Hanseo" (a missing person from the Gates) to save him.

"Save the national hero? I'm just some villain's lackey."

♥︎ Gu Jei: An S-class Esper. Hailed as a national hero for his numerous achievements, he has never received proper guiding due to the lack of Guides with a compatibility rate exceeding 10%. He's suspicious of Yeo Hanseo, who "coincidentally" appeared just before his impending rampage and saved him. Yet, circumstances ultimately compel him to propose a contract to Yeo Hanseo...

"Mr. Yeo Hanseo, will you marry me?"

Quote:

"Why would you go to such lengths?"

"Because I want you to be safe, hyung."

Of course you should be safe. If you die, Gu Jei, my peaceful life will vanish too.

Synopsis:

I'll give you a chance to live a new life.

You only need to accomplish one thing:

Condition for Success: Save Gu Jei 

In a world destroyed by a dungeon break, Baekgu regresses through time thanks to the Prophecy Book.

He can live again and start over from the beginning.

Born as Experiment 109 in a research lab, and later living as a cult leader's dog after escaping, this was his chance to change his miserable life.

To secure a happy new life, Baekgu disguises himself as "Yeo Hanseo" a missing person from Gates and approaches the national hero, Gu Jei.

He finds a way to stay by Gu Jei's side, who is suspicious of the guide who "coincidentally" showed up at the perfect time.

But that method...

"To become an exclusive Guide, you must be married to an Esper."

...Marriage?

Naturally, Hanseo had never even considered marrying Gu Jei.

"Yeo Hanseo, you're too considerate of others."

"...?"

Who? Me?

He'd heard plenty of insults like "trash" or "bastard," but this was the first time anyone had ever called him considerate.

"I just did what I had to do. Everyone else would have done the same, right?"

"No, people like you are rare."

"You don't have to praise me so much..."

"In times like these, kind people don't live long."

Was that... not a compliment?

As he stood there, puzzled, Gu Jei warned him, "That's why I'm telling you to be careful. Someone like you would probably act before thinking, even after hearing this."

Is he talking about me right now?

What on earth is he thinking?
