There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 714

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."

"Because we already know it’s useless," Han Joon smiled, moving them slowly to the empty space between the bed and the sitting area. "We don’t talk about useless circumstances."

"Really?" Radia tilted his head. "What about all those pillow talks?"

"What about them? Everything will be possible once I’m free..." Han Joon paused. "Did we end up doing them?"

Radia exhaled softly. "It’s hard to do what we wanted to do in our youth once we aged," he shook his head regretfully. "Also...it was hard looking for the time to do them."

They got together again at an unfortunate moment when Operation Fallen Star was reaching its peak. Even their wedding was nothing more than a registry office one and three days of locking themselves in a villa, before a family dinner to introduce Han Joon to the rest of the Mallarcs.

After the Operation finished, he got even busier handling the many businesses that followed. The days were so exhausting that the only thing he wanted to do was rest in Joon’s arms. And then, when things seemed to be settling down...

Radia sighed. Even after Han Joon woke up from the coma, the memory of seeing his husband collapse still haunted his sleep.

"What are you making that face for?" Han Joon pulled his darling’s waist until their chest clashed against each other. "Is it not a time to be happy?"

Radia raised his head and, upon looking at the youthful, cheeky smile, couldn’t help but laugh himself. "Yeah, it’s our time to be happy," he said. "After all, we are finally together. Like how we always wanted."

No Han Gyeong to chain Joon. No refusal from the Matriarch. No threat and illness to keep them awake at night.

"Good," Han Joon swayed their body quicker, following the increasing tempo of the music. "Those mindless pillow talks--let’s turn them into reality one by one."

First, by drowning themselves in the dance. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Honestly, neither of them knew how to dance. Radia learned it a long time ago, just because it was a useful skill for high society. But then, he never used that after becoming an adult. Han Joon, on the other hand...

Well, if none of them knew, what does it matter anyway? Han Joon grinned and pulled Radia in a circle, prompting the summoner to chuckle in response.

"We’re doing a twirl?"

"Nari asked me for it over and over earlier, so it’s ingrained in me now," Han Joon said nonchalantly.

Radia laughed, remembering the series of ’helicopter rides’ the children asked Joon to do earlier. Especially Nari, who had robbed Kar of Joon’s lap throne. But it seemed like Joon was treating this dance just like that helicopter ride stunt with the children because Radia was getting dragged around swiftly.
