Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he was about to lie down on his bed, his phone started vibrating as he was receiving a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Who?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon took his phone from the desk and checked the number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the name calling him, his expression softened, and he was also quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I didn’t think that she would already call me today! I am not complaining, though...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He answered the call, pressed it against his ear, and hoped that his heartbeat wasn’t loud enough for the caller to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaewon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You answered~ I was wondering whether you might be inside the game, and you wouldn’t be able to see my call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a giggle from the other side of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I didn’t play today... Had some stuff to do. I didn’t expect you to already call me today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted to ask... When’s a good time for me to call you? I know you’ll be most of the day inside Black Online.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Around nine in the night, if that works for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll call you at 9:30. I should be at home by then from work, so you better answer me, hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile, and he then lay down on the bed and rested his head against the pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t speak and were just listening to each other’s breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we FaceTime?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...FaceTime? Sure, but why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I want to see your face, of course, you silly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon shrugged his shoulders, put the call on speaker, and then activated FaceTime with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he was able to see Chaewon lying on her soft-looking bed. Her hazel-brown hair was spread out across her pillow, and she looked like an angelic sleeping beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your eyes are so blue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a raised eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giggle~ You got your vision back, and you haven’t even looked at yourself in the mirror?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did look at myself in the mirror, but I guess I forgot to check the color of my eyes... How blue are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really blue. I think that color is aqua? It’s like I am looking at the sky on a clear day. It’s really beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... That made me remember something from my past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a nostalgic expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I first lost my vision, I always had my eyes closed since I couldn’t see anything anyways, but my sister, Anna, told me to keep my eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something about my eyes looking too good to keep them hidden or something like that. I can’t recall the exact words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I just learned to keep my eyes open even without having any vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Have you told your sister that you’ve been discharged just yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, and I have no intention of doing so. I was kicked out of the Fang Village because my father believed that my ’disease’ might be contagious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought it was a stupid as hell of a reason since I had already stayed there nine years without anyone else getting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When my symptoms kept getting worse, and I was about to lose the ability to walk, he decided to kick me out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I am healthy again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon trailed at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re scared that they might want you to go back there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they want to, they can definitely force me to go back there even if I don’t want to. Thus, I’d like to keep this as a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmh, you’re fine, I think. I know that the head nurse was planning to call your sister since she is your ’guardian,’ apparently, but don’t worry, I deleted her phone number from the list of contacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a proud smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You did?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yup, I had a hunch that you didn’t want her to be informed. They always kept her updated regarding your condition since she is your guardian, so last night, I removed her phone number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate that... But wouldn’t you lose your job if they find out? That is a very risky thing to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really appreciated it and didn’t really know why Chaewon would go THAT far for him, but it made him feel sweet inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made sure to be sneaky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mhm, you could be a really good Assassin in Black Online.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said jokingly with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Chaewon looked elsewhere as she heard the shout from her mother, and she then turned back to look at the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like it’s my turn to head off to the showers. I’ll call you tomorrow again, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, good night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon approached the camera, pressed her soft pink lips to the screen and blew a kiss, and then ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon froze with his eyes wide open, and he then slowly closed the phone and put it aside and just stared at the ugly ceiling in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1480c3ec87ce843eeee85486931726d156fe059f9d092be7bd2ba2f2e206842","black-online-chapter-123","black-online-chapter-121",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
