Chapter 669: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 4
In an empty bathroom, Han Joon stared at his reflection in the mirror. Or at least he tried,
For the last forty-six seconds, he hadn’t been able to see anything. Not that his view went black; rather, everything went white as if he was flooded with a blinding light. Snow blindness. Yeah--it was like that.
"Haa..." he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Snow blindness would go away after a while, so this must be too.
"Joon?"
Slowly, Han Joon opened his eyes when he heard his darling’s voice. This time, he could see the void in his eyes, and the stern expression he always wore on the outside, to the point that sometimes, he had no idea which one was truly him.
But when he heard his darling’s approaching footsteps, a smile came to his eyes and lips, and his face softened just like that. Just like always, only for him. Only and because of him, his lovely darling.
He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. See? The world looked clearer the moment his darling entered his vision. He could no longer think about that momentary blindness if his mind was full of this lovely specimen turning around the corner.
"Yes, darling?"
"Oh, there you are," Radia stopped and let his husband walk toward him instead. He tilted his head toward the front door and smirked. "Can you hear your little brother shouting out there?"
"That’s why I’m hiding," Han Joon shrugged, prompting a laugh to escape Radia’s lips--which he kissed lovingly the moment he arrived in front of the summoner. "Let’s go."
Time had been rolling splendidly, and all of their friend group had gotten married. They even had their own place to live, away from each other, and yet...for some reason, they still gathered in Radia’s mansion to play.
