Life Past The Recordings

Wise Listener

As the sun shyly rising in the horizon, Rok Soo was gently shook by his younger counterpart who looked like a mess, especially with his red eyes and bruises all over.

'Shit'

Rok Soo instantly seated up as he focused on the other's bleeding wounds that are slowly healing up, most likely because of his own Vitality of the Heart— too focused on those injuries, he paid zero attention to the short-haired's teasing because of it.

"Wakey wakey, Hero-shii. Had a nice dream?"

Cale actually only came here to wake up Rok Soo so that he could prepare to meet the others when the other asked him something unexpected instead.

"Cale, what happened?"

"Hmm?"

Cale slowly grinned, but it does not reach the eyes.

"Oh, you know, the usual. I mean, it's not all that weird for a villain like m—"

"Cale Henituse"

Cale flinched at the stern tone.

"Who did this to you?"

Cale's face was about to form a frown when Rok Soo's nonchalant gaze sharpened instead.

Normally, Cale would have scowled if anyone would ever use this tone on him.

He had never really got scolded all his life after all, not even by his beloved mother.

Which is why, he found this kind of fright weird and internally shuddered.

Meanwhile with Rok Soo.

He is not someone who understands much about feelings.

He's not all that great with life advises or such.

Yet, for some reason, Bae Puh Rum went to him before he actually proposed to Kim Min Ah, Some of his subordinates had asked some suggestions back at Earth 1, The children had been seeking him for comfort, even Choi Han and Alberu had at least once asked his personal opinion about their standings.

Which is why, despite he doesn't think of himself as someone qualified to give actual good advices, at the very least he would listen.

And looking at Cale now, this young man looked like he's in need of a listener.

"Have a seat"

Despite the gentler tone, that was a command to which Cale complied out of scare...

+

"Young master-nim is in fact a great listener."

Many people affiliated with their Hero-nim agreed to the description mentioned.

Before helping so many beings indiscriminately, Cale has always listened to their problems.

Whether it would benefits him or not, once they mentioned about what troubled them, Cale rarely cut them off. He would only do so when there are pressing matter where he needs other info asap.

The more this fact sink in, the more they realized that they should have done the same to this numb hero...

"Fighting with troubled mind would only cause accidents. I can almost guarantee it"

Rok Soo said as soon Cale got seated.
