He flips Woo-young the bird but yeah sure he can go take a shower. Presumably Woo-young's shower isn't weird in some way such that he can't figure it out?

Nope! It is a totally normal shower with totally normal means of operation. But also the stall is very large and there's a shower chair and handles on the walls. And actually the whole bathroom is very large and there is a nice jacuzzi in the middle, big enough to comfortably seat five.

...

.........

............okay but now he kind of wants a bath in the jacuzzi. He probably oughtn't since this is not his place, but. He wants it.

He wonders if Woo-young has bath bombs.

What do you take him for? Of course he has bath bombs. He has two shelves of them by the tub.

Aw man he wants to try them. Is there a glitter bath bomb?

There are two.

He'd be unstoppable.

"You doing alright in there? Need any help?" Woo-young calls from outside.

"Fine! Just admiring your hot tub!"

"It's very nice! I really like it!"

Rub it in, why don'tcha.

Whatever. Shower time.

The water heats up very quickly and it is very easy to set it to the temperature and pressure he wants.

Rich people have some fancy shit, huh.

...is Tae-hwan going to be rich soon, too. Actually this place doesn't even look super rich, just really comfortable, 'cause if Tae-hwan were super rich he'd get such fancy shit. He doesn't know what fancy shit, exactly, but he knows it'd be fancy enough that you'd walk into his place and be like, "Damn, this guy's loaded." And A-rank espers are paid a lot of money, right? He's pretty sure they are.

Oh he's so stoked.

Woo-young knocks on the bathroom door and says something but the water is too loud to allow Tae-hwan to hear.

"What?" he calls back.

Muffled sounds.

Ughhhh is he going to have to step out of this nice and comfy shower to figure out what Woo-young's saying.

Fine. He leaves the water on, though, and gingerly tiptoes to the door to open it and stick his head out.

Here's Woo-young, blinking in surprise. "I said you could use any towel you wanted and I left you some clothes here by the door." Point at clothes.

"Oh. Thanks."

"Yeah, sure." Off he rolls.

Tae-hwan has to shut the door immediately and then go back to the shower to deal with something quite annoying.

Why oh why did his brain come up with a dumb manhwa fantasy of how he'd slip and fall on the floor and somehow Woo-young would end up lying on top of him while he's naked and wet and oh no now Woo-young has to take his clothes off because he's soaked and...

Why oh why is he getting a reaction to this fantasy.

It's probably because of how good guiding feels. And he should not let himself be swayed by the siren song of guiding. He should not. And in order to make sure he won't, he will. Take care. Of. Some business. Or something.

Woo-young is sitting on the sofa watching a dumb K-drama on TV and eating salted cashew nuts out of a little bowl when Tae-hwan comes out. "Oh, done already? That was quick."

"...it was?" He grabs his phone to look at the time, then squints at Woo-young.

He laughs. "Was wondering how much longer I'd wait before I decided it'd be time to check whether you were dead."
