Life Past The Recordings

Finish it All

Cale's breath hitched as he felt familiar warmth instead of pain...

A bright red light came from his necklace when just a second later, he found out that someone is hugging him protectively while the latter's aura shielded both of them from any harm.

The world around them suddenly turned dark from the lack of light.

Though, even so, from how amicable it felt, Cale figured out the identity of this person rather easily.

'W-What...? How did he-?'

Cale's reddish-brown pair shook violently as he realized that his savior was none other than his beloved who was supposedly still quite far away from him.

Choi Han shouldn't have been able to reach his place even if he were to use Rok Soo's Instant.

So, how...?

"I got teleported here."

As if knowing what was in the younger's mind, Choi Han answered him.

"I think it was because of these two..."

That being said, his accusing eyes landed on the necklace that Cale wears- one that's glowing dimly like his own.

Unlike Choi Han whose eyes filled with questions as of why Cale has the other half when it was supposed to be Moonlight's, the said red-head himself reached a conclusion at that moment.

'Rok Soo intended for this as well...'

That red-haired hero must have anticipated White Star's true strength, and thus prepared this weird necklaces of theirs.

Choi Han opened his mouth, about to ask regarding something else he just noticed as he hugged the smaller frame, when Cale's voice beats him to it.

"I believe this is not the time for a chat."

Realizing that what he's saying is nothing but the truth, Choi Han shut his mouth once more after mumbling his lone reply.

"...right"

They shall defeat White Star first before having the inevitable serious talk...

'Hoo boy'

Valentino sighed as he leaned his back to the headrest.

Like any others, he was heartbroken still when he saw their ever so strong Hero-nim dying in front of his comrades like that. However, he could tell that another headache is coming just from thinking how chaotic it would be even after that bastard White Star got defeated.

That Carro Kingdom Crown prince could not tell if he's looking forward to that moment or whether he's anticipating himself for it.

Putting all of the other thoughts aside, Cale was about to peels off Choi Han when the taller hugged him even tighter.

"Not yet"

He said.

"I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. Remembering all that I've done to you, I understand. But please hold still a bit longer for now"

Cale wanted to tell the other that it's not that he hates him that he felt this uncomfortable.

He actually wanted to get away from Choi Han before he could get swept up at the moment and cling onto him instead...
