The Sun Proposed to the Moon

The Better Stan

"Just... shut up."

The next day, Cale stood with his arms crossed and a frown on his face. His gaze was looking off into the distance, irritated at life.

Cale's outfit was even more flashy and luxurious than usual. His outfits were always luxurious and flashy but this was...rather much.

'Young master! Even if I, Hans, was not there, how could you go rolling around on the mountain? How could you let him get so dirty, Sir Kim Rok Soo?'

'This Vice Captain should have escorted you!'

"What the hell are you complaining about? I'm not such a precious snowflake where I need to be protected from bullshit like a bit of dirt.

Cale had dressed up even nicer than usual because he was annoyed at the gazes he got after coming back, looking like a mess from crawling through that damned cave. The fancy outfit he was wearing looked quite good with his bright red hair. Cale was definitely not lacking when it came to looks.

He could feel the eyes of Kim Rok Soo on him.

'This is your fault, you know! Dammit, I should have cleaned up before I went back.'

But there was another reason Cale was looking annoyed right now.

"You're going to go like... that?"

Somehow, Kim Rok Soo made the decision, without Cale's input, that the redhead would be taking care of the departing party.

That was even more annoying than the bullshit that happened the day prior.

They were standing in front of the inn. Cale was standing there with a hand on his hip and looking at Choi Han. Choi Han had a small bag and his sword with him. His two traveling companions turned around to look at Cale.

"Yes."

Choi Han did not seem to get that Cale was judging him severely.

There was no special feast or farewell party for the leaving group. Choi Han was not someone who wanted something like that. Though that was easier on Cale, the redhead had a bit of a knack for planning events. He'd planned something of a slightly small size, originally, for the departing group.

Choi Han, being himself, said there was no need for a farewell party at all.

That was why this was a 'farewell' rather than a party.

Cale, Kim Rok Soo, the kittens, Hans, and the Vice Captain. That was it. The fact that the Vice Captain was there was a bit odd, but he was standing there with a frown like Cale and Kim Rok Soo as he said his goodbye.

"Sigh."

Cale sighed before waving a hand to Hans. The ginger took a small bag out of his pocket and threw it toward Choi Han. Choi Han easily caught the bag. Choi Han recognized the bag. It was the same size as the bag that was given to the Black Dragon. Choi Han opened the bag to find potions and other types of useful items inside. Choi Han lifted his head from the bag and looked toward Cale. Cale just bluntly spoke when they made eye contact.

"I won't let someone who stayed with me walk away empty-handed. You better keep your end of the deal, you damn swordsman."

Choi Han did not say anything, but Cale was just saying whatever he wanted. The redhead smirked at the group in front of him as Hans tossed two more bags to Ron and Beacrox.

"Just toss it away if you don't want it."

He then turned around and headed toward his room, grabbing Rok Soo's arm and dragging him along with him.
