Chapter 714: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 49
The Last Dance.
It was an event at their academy’s graduation party. Their last dance before getting thrust into society and becoming a full-fledged career esper. Some even coined it as the farewell dance of irresponsible life.
It didn’t matter who they were dancing with: friends, family members, or lovers. It was a song that started slow and gradually increased in tempo, so they could even change their dance partners in the middle and feel like they did a completely different dance.
It was fun. Or it should be.
On Han Joon’s graduation, he did not come because he was still climbing the tower in the Northern Alliance. The next year, Radia did not bother to come because he knew Han Joon wouldn’t be able to come anyway. There were a lot of reporters and important figures there, so they couldn’t be seen together anymore.
After all, the military and the Mallarc House were at the peak of their animosity at that time.
That last dance was not something they could ever do.
Well, not publicly, at least.
It was more than twenty years late, but Radia took that warm hand happily.
Han Joon gave a gentle pull and held Radia’s waist, moving slowly following the soft beginning of the melody. It was rather ridiculous having a dance in casual clothes, but the discrepancy disappeared when he gazed at the unchanging smile and twinkling eyes only reserved for him.
Radia chuckled and let Han Joon take the lead. "Now that I recall, I don’t think we ever talk about graduation."
