Chapter 673: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 8
When Radia and Shin arrived at the hospital ward, Han Joon had already in the middle of changing, sitting at the edge of the bed. From how he casually wore his shirt and the absence of any tube from his body, it was as if he had just come to the hospital for his monthly check-up.
"Hyung!" Han Shin burst into the room, but Bassena held the healer’s arm, pulling him to the side and silently pointed at Radia with his chin. "Ah..."
Pressing his lips, Han Shin held back from running to his older brother. He knew he was no longer his brother’s priority, and he had been learning to accept it and gave more space to them. Wasn’t that why he decided to move out of Althrea? It was just hard doing it when his brother’s life was in danger.
Reina gently held his hand, patting his arm as Han Shin let out a heavy sigh.
"Darling," Han Joon, meanwhile, smiled charmingly as his husband arrived in front of him. Since he was still sitting on the bed, he had to look up to see Radia. The way the crimson eyes looked at him coldly was a sensation that gave him a slight thrill. Just from that, he knew that Radia finally found out what happened to his body. "You look like you want to slap me."
"I do."
The answer was short and curt. Not something people might say to someone in a hospital bed, but Han Joon already expected it. "I won’t avoid it," he replied with an unchanging smile that he knew would only infuriate his darling.
"Later," Radia managed to turn his boiling anger into a cold fury. "But I think you owe us an explanation first."
Han Joon glanced at his trembling little brother and smiled wryly. "I guess."
Where should he start, though? They must have already found out about his condition--at least Radia and Shin, who came with the doctor. Then...they must have been interested in the ’why’, which was rather more complicated to explain unless they could live in his world and his mind.
"I realized my body was not in a normal condition when I changed physician to Doctor Ma," Radia turned toward the doctor, who was sighing at the door. "But it didn’t hinder my life, so I didn’t think it was important."
