Life Past The Recordings

Grave I Built

Once he's done dealing with The Mercenaries duo, he wore back his necklace before then he went to greet Choi Han as well introducing Raon to their newest members who has sworn not to speak what they knew of to anyone outside of the people within the room.

Rok Soo also returned the magic bags filled with the albums within the directory that just got destroyed to Bud, as he then explained that the White Star used the information collected there to find people with useful ancient powers.

Also...

"White Star was reincarnator and in one of his past lives, he was the first Mercenary King"

Rok Soo had casually said that as if the news didn't just voluntarily caused heart attack for his two listeners.

Well, Rok Soo never really cared about how'd they reacted as he needs to deal with other things already.

'Heh. One day someone would bound to actually get a heart attack from this habit of his, I bet'

Alberu only hoped that the said person won't be him in the future.

Now, with Ron escorting the two guests back to first floor, Rok Soo was left with Choi Han since Raon was told to go with Beacrox to get some food ready for their next trip.

"Choi Han, I need to grab something somewhere nearby and probably spend the night there until tomorrow morning. Please go with those two and keep a good eye on them?"

Moonlight said to Choi Han while shyly fiddling with the swordsmaster's calloused fingers.

"You're going somewhere? On your own?"

Choi Han asked worriedly, which to his relief Moonlight shakes his head.

"I'll go with Raon. I mean, I can return late at night once I finished with what I need to do, but... It would be tiring to go back and forth like that and I—"

"Hey, it's okay"

Sensing the other's anxiety, Choi Han immediately say to comfort the red-head.

"We'll meet up tomorrow morning, right? Just get some rest yourself as much as it needed."

"But it's been so long since I returned, aren't you going to be lonely?"

Choi Han, who cannot lie even with his own life on the line can only smiled a bit rather than answering.

And how could Rok Soo not get worried about this?

Cale and Choi Han seems to depend on each other more than he initially thought, which is why he wanted to check on Cale in addition to the other matter that needs to be discussed.

However, Rok Soo is a bit reluctant to do so because that means he needs to leave Choi Han on his own accord.

Yes.

This Choi Han who had been hugging him quite tightly last night, as if he doesn't want to let Moonlight go.

That shows just how lonely this Korean must have been when Moonlight is away...

The more he thinks of it, Rok Soo couldn't help his ridiculous thought.

'I feel like I've somehow become a babysitter along the way— no, actually, perhaps that was the case'

With all of the people that he takes in under his care. Perhaps babysitting is what he's doing.

In addition, Rok Soo realized just how hard it is to be a good cupid. Especially when has to play the role of the third wheel at the same time.
