Life Past The Recordings

Sun Palace's Garden

After that crying incident, which actually happened only yesterday, Cale has never been left alone by his friends and family.

Honestly, he wouldn't have minded if it was just the children, since he felt bad already from breaking his promise about not getting hurt.

Eruhaben and Choi Han's presences couldn't really be helped either. And though that fact was starting to get on his nerve as it reached the next three days, he couldn't really say anything to them as well, as he always got shot down everytime he opens his mouth to speak.

The culprit was none other than the ancient dragon himself.

And with them, that counted for 5 additional beings who's always around and keeping him on tight watch.

It's annoying enough to have not even a second of privacy for that long with so many eyes on him.

Not even to the washroom.

But it didn't stop there.

Oh, no.

If it truly stopped with them, he might be able to endure it past the week.

However, Either Ron, Beacrox, Basen and Lily, or any of his other friends and family members.

Every. Single. Moment.

There's always at least 7 people in the room excluding himself.

And though it has reached a whole damn week with Cale can truly seated straight on his own without any of their helps already, thanks to the Cintamani's influence, neither of the mentioned would allow him to even get to the toilet on his own accord.

Which, with this still keeps on going, that red-haired noble finally had enough.

"Why are yo—?"

"Shut up, Cale. Just get some more sleep"

Once again, Eruhaben shot him down while leisurely eating some grapes on his own.

Cale's brows twitched.

"No. Eruhaben-nim. Please, Listen"

He's tired of not being heard.

"Why are you guys acting like this, hmm? I already said that I'm fine. The scar is not even visible anymore and I can walk if you just let me. So why?"

His voice is indifferent, but Cale was genuinely frustrated.

Eruhaben shot him a piercing glare as he told him back.

"You used your soul until There's barely anything left. SOUL, you unlucky bastard! That thing is even more fragile than your already easily break glass for a plate. And you want us to believe that you are fine?"

The gold dragon scoffed.

'But I am???'

Cale wanted to yell back somehow, but he's not brave enough to blatantly do so with that fierce look on the ancient being's face.

He was afraid that pushing the latter so far would cost him a limb or two.

So, instead, he let out a sigh.

"Can't you just check it yourself if you don't believe me?"

"Cale-nim"

Hearing the call, Cale turned to his other side where Choi Han is looking seriously at him.

"The only one who can check on you right now is Sheritt-nim. And even she said that it would at least take you a whole month before you can get moved."
