Chapter 30: Is this the date you wanted?

“Are you the happiest man on earth right now Yoon Seoyul?”

“….”

Not hearing an immediate response Cheon Areum took off his sunglasses and narrowed down his eyes on Yoon Seoyul sitting next to him on the bench with Cheon Areum’s arm around his shoulders.

“What’s ticking you off now?”

Following Yoon Seoyul’s line of sight he saw the people walking around in the park all holding up their phones probably recording them. Even the ones with kids and dogs had forgotten their kin as if they were competing on who got the best angle of their flash news of Yoon Seoyul and Cheon Areum first appearance since his pregnancy.

“Don’t scare them off now look at me instead and appreciate my beauty.”

As soon as he twisted Yoon Seoyul’s head towards himself the stare instantly softened Cheon Areum titled his head to rest on the back of the wooden bench pecking up his lips asking for a kiss to which Yoon Seoyul readily leaned in. Looking all smug Cheon Areum put on his sunglasses to stare off in the distance after the kiss with a satisfied smile with Yoon Seoyul’s hand around his waist.

“You really should have let Rian ride the bicycle on his own he thinks he’s the greatest bicycle rider of his time now.”

“Let him he can enjoy the benefits of my abilities too besides who’s going to tell him?”

This was also a way for Cheon Areum to keep track of Rian riding around the park as he couldn’t detect him with his energy anymore. He had no answers for that either but he also didn’t want to take him to the central bureau for this reason alone because if he did indeed have a developed core that meant he would be introduced to the world of hunters not the path he had thought Rian would ever be on.

“Oh look there are ducks here too!”

“Hello!”

Catching the ducks paddling away with their feet in the river in front of the bench they were sitting on. Cheon Areum waved at the ducks passing by and got off the bench he went down on his knees grabbing the edge of the river sliding down his sunglasses as Yoon Seoyul took a hold of the longer leather part of his hoodie.

“How’s the water my fellow space sharer?”

Ignoring him the duck he directed the question to drifted away nonchalantly. Cheon Areum glanced around to see if he was still being recorded.

“You know I helped clear the S-Class gate that would have blown off this river with you in it too. Learn to be more grateful hn?”

In the same instant the duck leisurely floating on the water was doused with a high wave that hit it from behind without any notice.

“Quack! Quack!”

The duck complained loudly but was ignored by his own peers too.

“Haha! See this how it feels to be ignored!”

“Those ducks don’t understand you Areum.”

Immediately speaking up for the poor ducks Yoon Seoyul with a kind heart couldn’t stay quiet any longer.

“Underestimating your opponent is a noob mistake my love just watch and learn.”

Cheon Areum spoke all serious but out of nowhere hearing the duck quacking made him queasy he placed a hand on his chest his other urging Yoon Seoyul to get him something. Not finding anything accommodating but a bucket hat he handed to him quickly patting and rubbing his back as Cheon Areum threw up in the bucket hat the pancakes he had eaten at the restaurant just before coming to the park.

“We can go back home if you’re feeling unwell. Let me call over Rian.”

Heaving over the bucket hat Cheon Areum gripped Yoon Seoyul’s clothes as he finished handing over the bucket hat back to Yoon Seoyul.

“I like the fresh air it’s okay.”

This was the first time Cheon Areum had taken Yoon Seoyul on a date with him to a normal place instead of dragging him to his personal training room to train with him or to another gate and the remaining time he would keep Yoon Seoyul in bed so when Yoon Seoyul suggested to take him out other than those places he hadn’t refuted him. With Rian picking out this park for their outing as he could rent a bicycle and ride it here Cheon Areum wasn’t going to hold an objection sign because he had become nauseous because of a duck.

I mean there’s a line to how pathetic you can become…

Getting rid of the bucket hat Yoon Seoyul returned to the bench and uncapped a water bottle for him. Midway drinking the bottled water Cheon Areum abruptly spat out to the other side not on Yoon Seoyul.

“Koff! Uhu! Is that an S-Class gate? Why is it so close?”

On the other side of the river right across from them an S-Class gate appeared from nowhere really. Cheon Areum had never seen a gate open before his eyes.

“Everyone knows what it is so just rest easy please.”

Drying off the water dripping from his lips with the back of his hand Yoon Seoyul spoke with a little anxiousness in his voice. Cheon Areum’s pregnancy had been scaring Yoon Seoyul more than him much less to his expectations. But then again this was Yoon Seoyul’s first baby too and he was also just a young adult.

“You need to rest easy too even the doctor said I’m alright.”

“Not considering the high spikes in energy because of the fifty energy boosters you took.”

“At least I have energy to spare now.”

Jumping over the bench with one hand braced against it, Cheon Areum moved onto the path that had been crowded just moments earlier. Just as Yoon Seoyul had said, the public—long accustomed to gates opening anywhere at any time—had evacuated on instinct, the area clearing itself in astonishing time.

“Let’s grab Rian and go too. Don’t even think of entering the gate.”
