As she slightly winced at the pain, she turned back to look at the ballroom, and a scene before her caused a smile to form on her face.
Lee Junghwa was about to hug Han Minhyun. However, placing his hands on Junghwa"s shoulder, Minhyun prevented her from doing so.
That motion of Soohyun caused a warm feeling to spread through Soohyun"s heart, and she did not know why she liked it that much. This made Soohyun wonder on what her emotions would have been if he had hugged her.
Would Soohyun feel disappointed and sad at that?
Knowing that it was not the time for her to think about all that, Soohyun extended her hand towards the door handle, and after opening the door, she rushed out of it.
After Soohyun had left the room, the door behind her closed, and Minhyun shot at a glance at that direction.
While a pout formed on Junghwa"s face, she took a step back from Minhyun and voiced out, "What? Now, that you have a fated one, you would not want to let me hug you? You are being mean, Minhyun!"
Shaking his head, Minhyun said, "That girl has lot of foolish thoughts, so it is better for us to not hug; if you make her misunderstand something, you will be the one to suffer."
His words caused Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo to let out a chuckle, and he vocalised, "Hyung is not wrong this time around, Junghwa. You should have seen how badly Jiwoo had traumatized Chaerin. Chaerin had not left her room since yesterday, and you might be scarred as well!"
Those words of Kw.a.n.gsoo caused a glint to pa.s.s through Junghwa"s eyes while she spoke out, "Oh! Really? That makes me more interested in her. I want to tease her further."
Extending her hand to touch Minhyun"s cheek, Junghwa questioned, "What do you think about it, Minhyun?"
Gripping Junghwa"s wrist, Minhyun moved it away from him and vocalised, "Well, you can do whatever you want, but she should not get hurt. Remember that."
"Han Minhyun, this protective side of yours is really hot! It makes me want to crave for you more. Don"t think that I will stop making you my target just because you have found your fated one. This just makes it more challenging," Junghwa said as she licked her lips.
Ignoring those words from Lee Junghwa, Minhyun looked at Kw.a.n.gsoo and stated, "Kw.a.n.gsoo, come over to my office with me. I have to discuss on some matters with you."
Then, looking at Junghwa, he added, "Prepare for going to the surface. I have perfect sets of work for you there."
Those words of Minhyun instantly caused a serious expression to form upon Junghwa"s face. She understood that he was not in mood for any type of joke at that moment and nodded.
"I will be giving both of you your instructions later on at my office," Minhyun voiced out.
Raising his head, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo vocalised, "Am I allowed to refuse? I don"t exactly like getting into such fights, so keep me out of it."
Staring at Kw.a.n.gsoo, Minhyun smiled at him and stated, "There are no such thing as free meals, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo. So, if you refuse, I will take it that you want to act as a bait."
Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo let out a sigh, and moving his hand over to his hair, he ruffled it slightly. An annoyed expression formed on his face as he scrunched up his nose.
"Fine, fine. The only reason I am agreeing to this is because of my respect to you, Hyung, but Hyung, you do know that I am not reliable. You never know when I might drop the work in the mid-way," Kw.a.n.gsoo vocalised as a glint formed in his eyes.
"I will lock you up if you tend to laze around, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo, and don"t think that I am kidding. Without any further jokes, follow after me," Minhyun ordered— his voice being stern.
His tone was capable of causing a chill to go down Kw.a.n.gsoo"s back, and his casual mood disappeared in that instant. This was why Kw.a.n.gsoo respected Minhyun and looked up to him. Han Minhyun knew how to handle the situations.
"Aren"t you afraid that I am a.s.sociated with Kim Dohyun? I am really close to him, and Dohyun is not someone I will be that easily betraying. For him, I might even stab you in the back," Kw.a.n.gsoo vocalised.
Kim Dohyun was someone Kw.a.n.gsoo grew up with, and maybe the two of them could be called close friends. Everyone was well aware of Minhyun and Dohyun was in two different teams, and Kw.a.n.gsoo was considered to be someone who belonged to Dohyun"s team.
"Kim Dohyun is not my enemy neither is he foolish," Minhyun answered, "This is a serious matter, and he would understand how to cooperate on this as well."
A wide smile formed on Kw.a.n.gsoo"s face. His Minhyun Hyung was really admirable, and that was partially fueled up his desire to annoy Soohyun further. He wanted to continuously check whether or not she was suitable for him.
"Alright, alright, Hyung, now that you have managed to win me over, I will do whatever you want, except for some certain things," Kw.a.n.gsoo stated, "In exchange for that, let me spend as much as time with Sister-in-law. She is really fun!"
"I will see about that," Minhyun answered before disappearing from that room.
Being seated upon the couch in his office, Minhyun had his legs crossed, and a frown was on his face. As creases appeared between two of his eyebrows, he was immersed in his thoughts deeply.
That"s when, the area on the couch beside him was pressed down, and turning his head at that direction, Minhyun noticed that Hw.a.n.g Yejoon was seated beside him.
"Oh! You have arrived already," Minhyun vocalised.
While a grim expression sat on Yejoon"s face, he nodded his head and vocalised, "Hyung, I think I found out something new about them."
