Chapter 684: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 19
Red.
Red was his world. His color. The color of his whole world.
He could live with nothing but red; the red belonged to his beloved darling. He could live seeing nothing else in the world as long as he could still see his darling. The red that changed his entire life. His entire world.
He could live within the chilling cold gnawing at his bone. He could live with screaming muscles and numbed nerves. He could live with searing pain all over his skin.
But this? Losing his red?
He couldn’t live with this.
For the first time in his life, as red was robbed from him, he crumbled. He couldn’t keep himself together enough before tears fell from his shaking eyes. Eyes that were no longer useful to him.
His fingers twitched, and his hand raised to his face before he realized it, as if wanting to gauge the useless eyes out.
"Joon!"
The shout snapped him out of it, but the force behind his movement still lingered. Instead of his face, Han Joon swung his hand to the side, shattering the reinforced window. His eyes, unblinking, glared at the black marble floor as Radia rushed toward him.
By the time Radia arrived in front of him, Han Joon had already slid to the floor, blood dripping from his hands and the window. Radia held the trembling, bloody hand with shattered glass all over it, summoning a green-cloaked figure.
