Since she's in charge of this, ahem, guiding session, she is responsible and keeps track of time. It wouldn't do for him to be late to his next dungeon. She's not exactly experienced bringing people out of subspace or... whatever state he's in... but she can do it gently and carefully and with lots of praise and petting and with offered water.

At which point he is terribly embarrassed. Since that also makes him really red it might not be the easiest thing to identify compared to before.

Pet pet pet, in the bringing him back up process she's shifted to holding him in her arms while she carefully feeds him water. The change in body language is pretty noticeable from here.

"Hey. You with me again?" she asks, stopping the insistent attempt to rehydrate him to inspect him.

"Yes."

"Okay. Um, it's..." Phone check. "12:41, sorry if that was a bit short, I wanted to leave you some time to eat and go to the bathroom and stuff? Are you doing okay?"

Did she fuck everything up by being in charge?? She's preeeeetty sure that logically he found that fine, he said himself that he prefers guidance via sex, so. Almost certainly fine. But if he could say she was amazing that would be great.

"U-um. Yes. Okay. Um. What's the—you just said the time. Um. Maybe I should eat." Or maybe she could tie him up and LEE TAE-GUN YOU HAVE WORK.

"I think it'd be wise! I kept the food warm, though like, no hard feelings if you feel like something else." She's totally going to raid the takeout bag, though, because she's kind of hungry.

"Oh. Okay. Thank you. That's fine. And good. Um. Clothes. I should put clothes on." He'll go do that rather than remain, uh, yeah. And he shouldn't be feeling embarrassed of his erection but he is so uh. Yeah. He'll. Yeah.

Oh, right, she should also - away go the boobs.

"Um," she says, after they're both clothed. She is an adult, and she will voice her concerns and request communication! She is strong! She is powerful! She had Korea's only official S-rank at the mercy of her tongue! She can do this. "That was all, er, fine, right...?"

"Wha? The? That? Oh. Um. Yes. Yes. Fine. Good. Great, actually. Um. Surprising. I. Um. Um."

"Okay good! I'm glad! .... Good surprising, right, like, not, uh, bad surprise in your silo when you've let down your guard - I'm shutting up now and taking you at your word." And stuffing food into her face before she further ruins the whole aura of having her shit together she had up. NOM.

Um.

...um!!!!!!

"I, um, time. Yes. Don't have it." Lee Tae-gun you absolute clusterfluck of a human being. He will scarf down food, how about, and then go about, uh, yeah bathroom good probably? And get ready for next dungeon? Right?

"Yeah, sorry," she says, self conscious about not having given him enough time to get himself sorted out. Oh no!! She got a bad grade in domming!! For her very first time...!

Do not resume babbling at him, he has people to go save. Instead she'll hide.

...okay but does he get to kiss her before he goes. Because. He wants to?

Oh, he does?? Really???

... Okay. Somewhat shy kiss.

Okay! Good! Kiss!

"I'll see you later." And off the teleports.

"Yeah," she agrees, giving a little wave and trying on a tiny smile.

...

Okay, well.

She notes to herself to maybe give him some more time to prepare next time? If there is a next time?? On reflection she's pretty sure he really enjoyed that and she's just being self conscious, and instead of having a meltdown about that, she should have a conversation with him when he's not backlashed about how she is a little baby esper who is new to sex and maybe needs some more reassurance and aftercare. And maybe longer breaks between dungeons, because no, seriously, an hour is not long at all!!!!

This decided, she finishes her lunch, carefully cleans up his house from all of the mess of, uh, activities including but not limited to having lunch, and then lets herself back out. She has an itinerary, after all, and it is not even a little bit in shambles even if she emotionally feels like it is. Shopping! She has shopping to do, for clothes! She still needs to get underwear, that's very important, and if she times things right she can get everything into the laundry at her hotel before she swings back to Tae-gun's silo for guiding...

The second esper meeting to briefly touch hands is, uh. It. Could have gone better.

("Really?? You couldn't even partner with me if you were compatible, then why the fuck did you waste my time with this -")

But it's very good motivation for setting things on fire very thoroughly! She is going to very crankily make pretty, pretty fire art in Tae-gun's house, making little kernels of fire to keep track by esper-sense of where everything is, instead of just working visually. And then the motes can be expanded at will to proper (smokeless, she's not setting off any fire alarms) blazes. While she technically can control an entire inferno, it's not very efficient, so it's better to only expand things when necessary. The 'fire' kernels don't even have to be particularly hot, when she pushes towards light over heat, and so they're perfectly safe to touch. Just little bits of warm air that happens to glow, and which can brighten into something significantly more dangerous at will. She kind of wants to see how hot she can go, but, again: she is in her partner's house and should not accidentally burn it down, even if she's irritated.

Playing with her powers to purposefully accrue backlash is a pretty good way to cheer herself up, though. Mobility seems very important for combat espers, so she gets the idea to start testing if and how she can propel stuff with her powers.

By the time Tae-gun gets to his silo, she's happily making a little jet-propelled paper airplane (made out of a receipt) fly around the house. She's not quite up to making it do loops yet, but she bets she can!!

Bwuh?

The receipt airplane doesn't make a pchoo sound, because actually Hye-jin powered propulsion is very efficient, but in spirit, it goes pchoo.

"Hi!" says Hye-jin, cheerfully, from the couch. "I was practicing mobility, turns out I can make things fly!!!"

"Con...gratulations," he says, trying to focus on her words and not on—you know.

"Thanks! Hold on let's see if I can manage a proper landing -" She furrows her brow and - nnnnope, her attempt to land the plane on the kitchen counter ends in its momentum failing to stop fast enough, and it sliding right off. It noseplants onto the floor below. "- Aw. I guess I'm not paper airplane certified... Anyway hi, I failed to get food, hope that's okay."
