There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 683

Chapter 683: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 18

Was it in the spring?

Han Joon did not experience snow blindness anymore, but when he came out thinking that the plum blossom petals were pieces of torn paper, he knew something was wrong again.

It took him a week and more tests until he was sure that he couldn’t see some colors anymore. This time, however, he dutifully told his darling about it. Well, he had no choice anyway, because some of Radia’s ties and suits started to look like different shades of gray.

For a second, the crimson eyes shook in dread. The fear, however, disappeared the next second--or rather, it was hidden deep, deep inside where even Joon couldn’t see. He was worried that Joon would refrain from telling him anything more if he saw what Radia truly felt.

So he took a deep breath and managed his emotions. "Anything else?" he scooted closer. "Did you feel bad anywhere else?"

"No," Han Joon looked at the crimson eyes with a clear gaze; with no lie. "Don’t worry, darling. I won’t hide things from you again."

Before, Radia would be convinced by this statement. But he couldn’t do it now. Not because he thought Han Joon would lie; he just wasn’t sure if the man himself knew what was wrong with his body.

But he smiled gratefully, reaching out to stroke his husband’s cheek. "Thank you for telling me, darling."

Han Joon held the caressing hand and pressed his lips on his darling’s palm. "It’s not really affecting my life," Han Joon said. "Although I won’t be able to help you dress well anymore."

Radia laughed, and Gods...he loved this man with all his being. They indulged in a long, tender kiss that ended in another laugh. A time like this, brief as they were, always managed to make them forget about the possibility of a gloomy future.

Still, Radia took his husband to the hospital to find out the extent of this sudden partial color blindness. It seemed that even though the cold energy was sealed inside his core, it still seeped out bit by bit when the seal of the Saintess weakened at the end of the healing period.

And that leaking energy, rather than his body, crawled to his head.

"At this point, it seems like Sir Han can not perceive blue," the doctor explained. "There’s a possibility that it will worsen in the future, so please be careful and check your condition often."

"I see..."

"I will give you special glasses to help you with it, but it’d still be better to refrain from driving."

Han Joon was quiet for a few seconds, blinking slowly. The voice coming out of him was unusually weak. "Even driving, huh..."

With him getting banned from the gym and the arena, driving around was the only thing he did for fun in the real world. There was a driving game and simulation in the virtual world, but...that just wasn’t the same.

"Then, I’ll drive."

Han Joon turned to the side, widening his eyes. "Darling?"

"You can’t drive, but it’s not like you can’t enjoy the drive, right?" Radia faced the surprised black eyes with a clear gaze of his own. It didn’t matter if he had to move his schedule again; his husband was more important than his work.

"...you can drive?"

At the bewildering question, Radia smacked his husband’s arm. Granted, he always had a driver or Joon driving him around, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t drive! Han Joon laughed at the glaring crimson eyes and leaned down to kiss the twisting lips. "Thank you, darling."

The doctor was not impressed being fed dog food in his own office.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat loudly. "Please monitor your condition closely. How about doing your check-up once every two weeks?"

"Sounds good," Radia nodded.

Han Joon smiled, still not letting go of Radia’s waist. "I’ll do what my darling tells me to do."

"How obedient."

"Haa..." the doctor sighed and cursed his single life inwardly. This was why he needed to go on a vacation--so he could look for a girlfriend, damnit! "I’ll send the glasses by courier tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Doctor," they stood up, and Radia looked at the doctor with a simple smile. "Once everything is over, I’ll personally handle your vacation."

The doctor raised his head. "Huh?"

"Let’s see..." Radia tilted his head in contemplation. "How about the new resort in the Far East? A month? Or maybe two? Of course, all-inclusive."

"...I’ll try my very best."

"Good night, Doctor."

"Good night, Sirs."

Han Joon chuckled and kissed his darling’s temple on their way out. Well, Radia was just happy that his husband was no longer dejected. "Now, should we have that drive before going back?"

"I won’t refuse."

So, there wasn’t much change in Joon’s life aside from the fact that he should wear glasses sometimes. It did not really affect his daily life, however, so he rarely wore the glasses too.

But like what the doctor said, his condition worsened. In the middle of the summer, he could no longer perceive green. He had to wear new glasses and this time, he wore them more often.

At least, it wasn’t red.

With that thought, he still faced everything with a light heart. The glasses weren’t uncomfortable anymore, although he did need to explain them--especially to the curious twins as they gathered in Shin and Reina’s lakeside villa while Bassena and Radia had a meeting in the guild.

"I see..." Zein nodded. "That glasses are cool, though. Is it bad?"

"Not really. It’s not like I can’t see things, and there are labels to differentiate. But there’s a delay in my brain while perceiving traffic lights, as I have no idea which one is on."

"So that’s why the doctor tells you not to drive," Reina clapped her hand.

"Yeah," Han Joon turned his gaze toward the lake. It was also colorless in his eyes. "But there are no traffic lights on the lake."

"We don’t have to drive if the ’vehicle’ is sentient," Zein muttered. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
