The Sun Proposed to the Moon

Well... Yeah. (3)

Cale's pace gradually became quicker as he could hear the God's voice in his head once more.

"Where are you going? My dear Cage is the other way!"

Cale grunted and hissed. He stomped his foot and he rushed faster in the other direction, completely ignoring the god's words. He refrained from cursing out loud since the children were following behind him.

'I swear to shit. If you don't shut up and I die because of it, I'll kick the absolute shit out of you.'

'Whaaa! But hon–'

"It hurts! Shut up!"

The god shut up quickly.

Cale sped up, finding an isolated location. His ears remained covered as the ringing slowly died down. Cale did not realize how quiet the people following behind him had gotten.

He sat on a bench and waited. The ringing took much longer to stop than Cale had expected. Cale absolutely hated it when the god's tried to contact him while he was awake. Those idiots got too excited whenever Cale responded to their calls and talked for hours. He didn't care how strong his divine connection was, these bastards needed to learn patience.

Sigh. Cale let out a sigh and grumbled, finally removing his hands from his ears. It took a moment for everything to register but he finally saw the faces of those around him. Kim Rok Soo, Choi Han and Hans all looked worried, Rok Soo looking pale as if he'd witnessed a murder.

"I–"

"Cale."

Rok Soo called out his name.

"I am alright now, I'm sorry."

"Cale, why are you apologizing? What happened?"

Cale stared at his lover for a moment before sighing again. He didn't completely understand it himself, having someone he cared for be so worried about him was always strange. It didn't give him the same feeling as when Hans was worried about him. Maybe it was because they were lovers but it just felt so strange at times.

"I need to talk with that crazy priestess."

Cale was blunt. He did not feel like nor want to speak with her. Especially since death did not know when to shut his mouth but Cale felt they'd need to establish a relationship and curse out that damned god together.

"Not now, of course. Eventually, yes."

He made the distinction very clear. There was no need to speak with her now, after all they needed to get that ancient power, get rid of Choi Han's group and get to the capital. Speaking with her can wait.

"Cale, are you sure you're alright now?"

"Yes."

"...Are you sure Cale-nim?"

"I am perfectly fine. There's just a bas– idiot that has terrible timing."

The group did not understand what that meant but could only take Cale's word for it. The redhead looked tired and definitely did not want to be asked any further questions.

After a few moments, Cale stood up and wrapped a hand around Rok Soo's bicep. He was very clear about what he wanted and directed everyone back into the directions of the ruins.

Upon arrival, they could see people praying all around the area.

At that moment, Hans stealthily approached Cale and whispered to him.

"Earlier, I saw the eldest son of Marquis Stan's household."

"I see, good job."

Cale praised his loyal butler. Hans smiled before stepping off to the side, carefully watching his young master be sure another incident would not occur.
