There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 12

"No?" Han Joon asked stiffly.

"No," Radia pressed his lips as he repeated his answer, pulling away slightly from his husband. "You shouldn’t do things that will tire you out."

Han Joon tilted his head. "I’m just going to follow you around without doing anything. What’s so tiring about that?"

"It’s tiring," Radia stepped back and turned around with a sigh.

He knew how tiring it was. Even if Joon did nothing, waiting around could feel even more tiring than the one who did the work. In the first place, they knew nothing about Joon’s real limit. How could they define what would be a burden when the man himself had no clear pain level? His one could be someone’s ten, for all they knew.

Radia didn’t want to risk having his husband suddenly collapse again. If Joon’s body broke from playing in the pool with the babies, who knew what would happen while he followed Radia’s busy schedule everywhere?

"I see."

Radia flinched at the dry response. He was about to return to his desk, but he stopped and turned around to see Han Joon walk toward the sofa instead of following him to the desk.

This was new. And that tone...Radia had never heard that tone before. Was he angry? No--Joon was angry when his brother wanted to go to the Tower despite having a pregnant wife. This one...

Radia blinked rapidly while watching his husband back. Despite the stiff voice, that face didn’t show anything. It was just...it was exactly like how he always acted in front of others when he was pretending to be a model soldier.

Oh...he was upset.

Radia widened his eyes. Crap. He never encountered an upset Han Joon before! Angry, yes--but not upset. It was usually him who got upset, and Joon would nicely coax him. In the first place, Han Joon had such a stable emotional state that nothing truly affected the man.

Seeing the husband who had always been all over him suddenly turned quiet, sitting down and reading a book without saying anything, Radia fell into panic.

He used to handle all kinds of people, but even a doctor couldn’t handle their own family members.

"Uhh...Joon," Radia hurried to the sofa and plopped down beside his husband, brain scrambling to salvage the situation. "I’m...I’m not saying you can’t do it at all, just--if I didn’t have many schedules...if I only have to stay in one place like today, I’ll take you with me."

The sound of flipping paper seemed so loud in Radia’s ears. "Is that so? I’m glad."

You didn’t sound glad at all! Radia bit his lips and lowered his head in contemplation. He felt so dumb all of a sudden. What...what does his husband usually do to coax him? Kisses...didn’t seem like the right thing to do. Soothing words...uhh--he didn’t have the low, calm voice like his husband.

Then...perhaps the content?

Radia scooted closer to his husband, touching the man’s arm. Ah...it had been such a long time since he acted cute on purpose--he really didn’t know what to do. How did he used to act in the academy? His perfect memory seemed to be very selective at this moment.

"Darling..." he softened his voice, using a slightly whiny tone. "Should we go for a vacation?"

The corner of Han Joon’s eyes twitched. He turned his head and tilted it slightly as he looked at Radia. "Vacation?"

"Yeah--I mean, a real one," Radia said, lips stretching automatically when Joon was responding in a usual tone. "Just the two of us."

Hosting a summer holiday for their precious family was fine and fun, but it was different from having a vacation just for the two of them. Thinking back, Radia realized that they didn’t really have that kind of memory. Their honeymoon was locking themselves in a hotel, and afterward, Radia was busy with the Deathzone. He thought he would have a chance after that, but he was busy with establishing branches of Trinity and Mortix in the Far East instead.

"Just the two of us..."

The crimson eyes flashed when Han Joon’s voice softened even more, and Radia did not waste the chance. "I’ll make time, and we can go to the Southern Kingdom. Let’s buy a yacht and sail around for a few days," he said while observing his husband’s expression.

Unfortunately, the sparkless black eyes had always been hard to read, so he had no choice but to bulldoze through it.

"Or we can go to the West Republic? It had been such a long time since I was there, and we could visit Mom and Dad. Ah, should we go to the Northern Alliance instead? You’re familiar with the region, aren’t you?" Radia started to sweat when there was no change in those black eyes. "Umm...would you prefer a local site? The resort will only be operated next year, but I think we can still enjoy the beach..."

"How many days can you spare?"

Radia flinched, making a quick calculation in his head. Three days would be too short, right? Hmm...if he left the guild completely in Rina’s hands...maybe a week?"
