-s-class esper x c-class guide -omg so good -after creatures came, the world got split into factions w/ espers fighting the creatures and guides relieving the espers' condition -mc gets separated on a mission to the outskirts and runs into ml, who is from an enemy faction -ml is a jerk but is shocked to find that mc can guide him effectively, when no other guide can -ml essentially kidnaps mc to the southern faction and makes him act as his guide; mc and ml slowly get closer -mc managed to get a communication out to his central faction, who comes to pick him up; on the way home, mc's father-like figure crashes the helicopter and tells mc to run -turns out mc was taken in to be a sacrifice since he has the unique power to guide any esper, regardless of compatibility or class; he was going to be used in an experiment in place of the doc who found him, who has the same power -mc is saved by ml and they get even closer -doc's lover ends up kidnapping mc again to go through with the experiment (so doc doesn't die) -mc begins to suffer and goes blind -ml conspires w/ the doctor to free mc -they succeed; happy end (doc's end left ambiguous)

unrated esper/actor ji kwanyong x guide choi taehoon -ml is a successful actor who has been hiding his status as an esper for years (possibly d/t his shitty hidden personality and personal trauma) -mc is an office worker who has never had high enough compatibility w/ an esper to work as their guide -after a chance meeting w/ mc at a fansign he has an instant connection and their names get inscribed on each other's backs (happens to 20% of people) -ml saves mc from a rampaging esper and kills the esper, introducing himself to mc and revealing his own esper status -the end up matching unprecedentedly high and the center (the higher the match the better the guiding, but also the more intimacy required and the more reliant the esper is on the guide) -mc has symptoms of rejection that make him sick/tired after guiding d/t not opening up to ml (who conversely accepts mc as his guide w/ no sx, but his guardedness is the reason mc can't accept him)
