It is known that the Central Center of the Ability Department, where Chae Do-min is affiliated, has not received any contact, contributing to public anxiety.
Meanwhile, a Central Center official cautiously mentioned the possibility that Chae Do-min might have been kidnapped by an Esper, given the recent surge in Guide kidnappings.

About an hour after Sa Hae-geon left and I was alone in the room. During that time, I tried my best to recall any connection with Sa Hae-geon while lying still. But no matter how much I thought, there was none.
I had never seen Sa Hae-geon, never encountered him, never held his wrist. At this point, I began to wonder if Sa Hae-geon had mistaken me for someone else. It’s not like I have an ordinary face, and I wouldn’t forget someone with such striking features as Sa Hae-geon.
Just as I was about to conclude that Sa Hae-geon must have confused me with someone else, the door suddenly burst open, revealing Sa Hae-geon wearing a bright yellow apron with a chick drawn on it. Despite Sa Hae-geon’s funny attire, I couldn’t help but swallow dry saliva at the expectant look on his face.
What should I do? I hadn’t been able to recall any memories with Sa Hae-geon, and I was in the middle of arbitrarily concluding that he had confused me with someone else. I looked at Sa Hae-geon nervously.
However, what came out of Sa Hae-geon’s mouth was completely different from my expectation, and rather absurd.
“Hyung, are you hungry?”
“Huh…?”
“I thought you might be, so I prepared dinner.”
Sa Hae-geon approached me with big strides and carefully raised my upper body. It was such attentive care that one might think I was a patient in need of support. Although I didn’t feel like it, I awkwardly put my feet on the floor with Sa Hae-geon’s help.
And only then could I discover my ridiculous appearance.
“…What is this?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“What, what am I wearing right now?”
“What do you mean? It’s pajamas, of course.”
“…You call this pajamas?”
Sa Hae-geon’s claim was so absurd that it almost made me laugh out loud. This is pajamas? This outfit that resembles a prisoner’s?
My fists clenched naturally. The design was so incomprehensible that I thought about ruining the vacation I had been looking forward to with my own hands. Even in the midst of this, my legs were moving along with Sa Hae-geon, regardless of how I felt.
‘…This is insane, really.’
To dress me in what they claim to be pajamas, but is actually a prisoner’s uniform with alternating black and white stripes. …Wait. Does that mean they saw me naked while I was unconscious? Isn’t that an even bigger problem than the design of the pajamas?
I might somehow endure the pajama design, but seeing my naked body and changing my clothes without my permission was something I couldn’t possibly understand or overlook.
“…You.”
“You can sit here, hyung.”
Just as I was about to confront him, Sa Hae-geon changed the subject again and pointed to a seat. Although I was annoyed, I sat down quietly in the chair, considering his effort in supporting me all the way here.
“You, my…”
“This is the dinner I prepared for you, hyung. What do you think?”
Sa Hae-geon naturally changed the subject again, while showing me a table filled with something incredible.
The large table was full of various Korean dishes including braised short ribs, various namul (seasoned vegetables), seafood stew, fresh kimchi, soybean paste, rolled omelet, soybean paste stew with beef brisket, grilled abalone with butter, and more.
“…What’s all this?”
“It’s the food I prepared. Do you like it?”
“You prepared all this? In an hour?”
I couldn’t help but gape, forgetting what I was about to say. To think that the reason he left me alone was to prepare this splendid feast. No kidnapper before had ever served food they made themselves, not delivery food, takeout, or meal kits.
‘Well, there’s never been a kidnapper who wanted to choose shackles together or dressed me in this kind of prisoner’s uniform calling it pajamas either…’
The shackles, the pajamas, the homemade food, and even finding out my house’s password – Sa Hae-geon was the first for all of these. In a different situation, I might have found it quite romantic, but not now.
However, seeing the table full of carefully prepared dishes, my intention to confront him about seeing my naked body while putting on this strange prisoner pajamas completely disappeared. Suddenly, this kidnapper named Sa Hae-geon started to seem like quite a decent person.
God, thank you. I’m quite perceptive, so I know you’ve taken pity on me and sent me such an excellent kidnapper. Thank you so much.
My dissatisfaction towards Sa Hae-geon was wiped clean, and just looking at the abundant food brought a satisfying fullness. Although his actions are completely different from previous kidnappers and unpredictable, if confinement is like this…
‘Even more than a month is certainly possible.’
Well, what’s good is good, after all.
