Chapter 675: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 10
The atmosphere seemed to turn nicer, and people were blushing or laughing. But the topic at hand was still too heavy for breakfast, so Zein decided to send the twins to the nannies in case something shocking came out again.
And from what had been swirling in his head, there would be.
Using excuses that they had already finished eating their fruit and yogurt, Zein sent Kar and Asa to the prison of the huge playground Radia made on the first floor before returning to the garden.
When he arrived, Han Joon was in the middle of teasing Radia about the slip earlier, looking really happy while doing so. While, it wasn’t like Zein didn’t understand the glee of seeing something so put together like Radia getting flustered.
So he felt kind of guilty about popping the happy bubble created painstakingly.
He considered asking it later in private, but he had learned enough that Han Joon was so good at hiding things if he wanted to. After weighing stuff in his mind, he decided it would be better to just ask it out in the open, rather than causing more heartbreak later.
"Joon, I’m sorry, but...can I ask you something?" Zein asked before he sat down.
Something had been bothering him since earlier, a gut feeling ever since Han Joon said he ’knew’ about the experiment. There was a possibility that he found out about the experiment while investigating the military about Operation Kronos, but there was something about his explanation regarding the experiment that made Zein think the man knew too much.
Too much if it was only something he found out in passing.
Han Joon probably could see the suspicion in Zein’s expression, but he replied positively nonetheless. "Sure."
Bassena tilted his head curiously, and he became even more curious when Zein held his hand while staring at Joon. "When you said the military was interested in the research, did you mean they also participated in it?"
