There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 14

Blinking slowly, it took a while for Han Joon to register the flooding sunlight inside the bedroom. He, who used to wake up before the sun, needed time to digest the incongruity.

"Good morning."

But his thought was cut short by a soft voice and an even softer kiss on his forehead, which took even more time to digest. It was nice, but also weird. He used to be the one doing that; kissing his darling good morning and helping the sleepy head prepare for the day.

His eyes squint at the bright sunlight and he asked with a hoarse voice. "What time is it?"

"A bit past eight," the soft answer came with a gentle brush on his hair, which had gotten longer.

"Again," he muttered with a sigh.

"What?"

Han Joon turned his head to look at Radia and smiled in disappointment. "I woke up after you again."

"And?" Radia laughed in amusement. It was only the fourth--or was it fifth?--time Han Joon woke up later than him. In their entire married life. He couldn’t believe this man was disappointed because of that. "I love it," Radia smiled. "It’s rare for me to see your sleeping face."

"Hmm..."

"Are you jealous?" Radia arched his brow incredulously at his husband’s sullen face. Oh, that was cute. "You always did that, so it’s my turn now," Radia laughed, leaning down closely to Joon’s face until he could see himself reflected in the black eyes. "I can snuggle you all I want until I am satisfied."

He didn’t say it, but he would spend at least fifteen minutes snuggled to Joon’s side, solely to feel the new warmth of the skin and the steady beating heart. It didn’t matter if he had to push his schedule for later--he had promised to spend more time with Joon anyway.

Seeing his darling, who was already in a suit snuggled up at him, a smile formed on Joon’s lips automatically. "You can just ask me for more cuddles if you want, you know?"

Radia raised his head and pursed his lips. "It’s not the same if you’re already washed and clothed."

"What a peculiar taste."

Radia laughed and kissed the man on the lips before pulling him up and out of bed. Han Joon yawned as his darling pushed him to the bathroom to wash his face, smiling at the flip at what was normal.

"But still...I’ve been sleeping in more and more," Han Joon frowned while wearing his shirt. "I think I became lazy."

"It’s not that you become lazy," Radia chuckled. "You’re just more relaxed."

"Hmm..." Han Joon rolled his shoulder. After the cold energy was sealed, he did feel his muscles becoming less stiff. After four months, he learned how to spend the day doing nothing but browsing the links, playing games, and reading books like a bum. "I guess it comes with unemployment."

"Pfft--who says you’re unemployed?" Radia circled his husband’s neck and tilted his head. "Becoming my trophy husband is hard work, you know."

Han Joon chuckled and held his darling’s waist. "I guess."

He spent a few minutes kissing the faint scar on Radia’s neck while moving together to the door, enjoying his darling’s crisp laugh that he heard more and more every day. He only stopped once they reached the stairs and climbed down hand in hand to have their late breakfast.

"So, what task does my employer have for me today?" Han Joon asked in the front door, before his darling entered the car.

"A spa," Radia replied with a subtle smile.

"A spa?" Han Joon arched his brow.

"Cara will come and take you to a salon," Radia pointed at his human secretary for Mortix, who immediately bowed in their direction. "Let yourself be pampered and look pretty."

Han Joon looked up to see the dangling fringe that went past his eyebrows already. Indeed, it was time for a trim. Since he rarely left the mansion, he hadn’t been grooming himself lately, although he used to be very neat in the past.

Hmm...was that also a sign of him relaxing? Or as he thought--he was just being lazy?

That being said, if Radia told him to look pretty, it seemed like he would need to go out. Was there a banquet somewhere? Or a family meeting in the Peak?

Radia brushed the stiff black hair aside, smiling charmingly. "We’ll have a date tonight."
