Constellation's SSS-Level Test [TCF Fanfiction]

SSS-Level : Even if it takes my last breath (pt. 1)

As the midnight hit, it would be 8th November in this place...

It was an important Date for many some people Cale know of personally.

However, Cale also understand his place, and know that asking for a celebration would be absurd with the situation they're in and with the title he's currently shouldering.

Which is why, after finishing his talk with Heo Sook Ja and Jo Min Yeh, he quietly asked for Choi Jung Soo to follow him to the watch tower instead.

"Choi Jung Soo."

"Yes, Commander-nim?"

"Kim Rok Soo."

Cale wanted to be called as himself for now.

"Okay... Kim Rok Soo? Is there something wrong?"

Choi Jung Soo still seemed confused. Cale started to speak after a long pause.

Cale recalled Choi Jung Soo's voice in his mind at that moment.

Another Record played on the split screen...

['Rok Soo! Super duper happy birthday to you! Ahahahaha!'

'Shut up.'

A grumbling Kim Rok Soo could be seen looking away as he answered to the excited voice curtly.

'Haaaaaaaa. Hey Rok Soo, can't you be excited and wish me a happy birthday too? I guess not. Kim Rok Soo is not that kind of person.'

'Who said I wasn't going to wish you happy birthday?'

'Keke. So you're going to wish me happy birthday?'

A bright grin bloomed on Choi Jung Soo's mischievous expression.

'Of course. How could I not?']

+

Cale slowly started to speak.

"Happy birthday."

Choi Jung Soo's eyes opened wide.

The words Cale said with a gentle smile on his face seemed quite meaningful to brush aside.

That was why he couldn't just brush it aside.

Choi Jung Soo subconsciously started to stare at Cale who handed him a thick pile of papers out of his pocket and handing it to him.

"What is this?"

"Take it."

+

Choi Han had his mouth wide open with a silent gasp.

'That is...'

+

Choi Jung Soo was confused but still accepted the pile of paper.

He peeked at it for a moment and soon whipped his head up with shock.

[Choi Family's Swords Art]

That was the first line written as the title.

"...It's a present."

Choi Jung Soo subconsciously started to speak.

"Do you know me?"

Choi Jung Soo slightly regretted the thing he said.

The hands that looked nervous until now calmed down and Cale's face no longer showed any emotions.

"I will not answer any of your questions."
