After Lee Soohyun had the conversation with Hw.a.n.g Hyunae about going to a place with more privacy provided, Soohyun had excused herself in order to go to Minhyun. She then told him about how Hyunae was suspicious and for him to keep an eye on them.

As Lee Soohyun had expected, Hw.a.n.g Hyunae tried to harm her. Lee Soohyun had seen the sharp needle in her hand and realized that Hyunae attempted to harm her with that.

Han Minhyun pulled the needle out from Hyunae"s hand, and his eyes scanned it, trying to figure it out. His gloved hand touched the surface of the needle, and removing his hand, Minhyun saw that his white glove was stained with beige. 

Seeing that, Lee Soohyun"s eyes widened. Hyunae was trying to poison her. Although Soohyun knew that Hyunae wanted to harm her, she did not think Hyunae would want to go as far as to kill her. 

Hw.a.n.g Hyunae"s legs s.h.i.+vered, and her face visibly paled. Now that she was caught by Minhyun, Hyunae was bound to die. Hyunae"s legs gave out, causing her to fall down on the cold ground.

Tears fell down both of her eyes, and holding Minhyun"s legs with her s.h.i.+vering hands, Hyunae said, "I-I am s-sorry. I didn"t mean to do that and kill you. Beomsoo, yes Jung Beomsoo, he is the one who ordered me to do this. I-I—"

Before Hyunae could continue, Minhyun ordered, "Let go."

His icy cold voice and stare was enough to increase the fright within Hw.a.n.g Hyunae. Her heart palpitated quickly in her chest, and Hyunae was close to having a panic attack.

Hw.a.n.g Hyunae"s hands hesitantly moved away from Minhyun"s legs, and she repeatedly kowtowed whilst pleading for forgiveness. Hw.a.n.g Hyunae did not understand what possessed her to do this when she clearly knew Moon Jiwoo was Minhyun"s wife.

Facing Soohyun, Hyunae continued to kowtow and said, "Please forgive me, Jiwoo. I would never do this. I will not repeat my actions. Please forgive me, and I will do as you wish."

Lee Soohyun wore on a sinister smile and said, "I am the last person you can expect forgiveness from. My life is what I value the most, and there is no forgiveness for those who try to take it away. Minhyun-ah, just do as you see fit."

As Soohyun was about to walk away, Minhyun voiced out, "Stop. You name the punishment or else she will be left unpunished."

Lee Soohyun sighed and said, "Fine, fine."

Turning towards Hyunae, Soohyun said, "Eye for an eye; tooth for a tooth; a life for a life. Since I am alive, don"t you think someone should die in my stead?"

Hearing the words from Moon Jiwoo, Hyunae"s eyes widened. Hyunae did not think Moon Jiwoo would want to kill her. As Hyunae was aware of how Minhyun tortured, she ran towards the railing and jumped off of it.

Seeing Hyunae"s actions, Soohyun was not surprised. If Lee Soohyun got on Minhyun"s worst side, she might have done the same— or not since she did not want to die early.

"Oops. Too bad, she gave up her life," Soohyun said.

Walking towards the railing, Lee Soohyun looked down and saw Hyunae being caught by two muscular men. Soohyun immediately felt pity towards Hyunae. The girl most definitely would not have a peaceful death now.

"Ah! Minhyun-ah, your men caught her nicely," Soohyun commented.

Looking down, Soohyun showed her thumb towards them and said, "Good job, You Two! Your boss is satisfied."

Smiling towards Minhyun, Soohyun voiced out, "See, I told you that I will involve you in my troubles. Wasn"t it fun?"

Minhyun vocalised, "Avoid Jung Beomsoo."

"I know. He wants to kill me. Did Moon Jiwoo offend him in some way?" Soohyun questioned.

"The one with surname Jung, s.h.i.+n, Ahn, Jeon, Park, Kang, and Song are from Blue Clan. Remember that," Minhyun stated.

"Ah! Because he is from the Blue Clan and Blue Clan is the enemy of Red Clan, he tried to attack me. Got it," Soohyun said.

"You better imprint that in your mind," Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun recalled about reading how Ahn Eunwoo tried to attack Minhyun, and now realizing that he has Ahn as his surname, Soohyun wondered whether or not he is a member from Blue Clan. 

After the cake for the birthday was cut, the guests had dinner in the Moon Mansion, and after that was done, a few of the guests were beginning to leave. It was time for Soohyun and Minhyun to leave as well. Nonetheless, before leaving, Soohyun decided to do what she came here originally for.

After searching for a while, Lee Soohyun finally spotted Moon Jimin, and walking towards her, she wore a bright smile on her face. Jimin turned to look at Soohyun after hearing her footsteps and smiled back at her.

"Unnie, do you mind sparing me some of your time?" Soohyun questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

Jimin said, "Of course I don"t. Was there anything you needed?"

Soohyun nodded. After that, Lee Soohyun stared at Moon Jimin"s group of friends standing close to her and voiced out, "We need to go somewhere private though."

Turning back in order to face her friends, Jimin said, "I will talk to you all later."

Both of them stood behind the stairs. The place was isolated by the guests, and silence surrounded the entire area. Soohyun leaned closer to Jimin.

Soohyun then whispered, " Unnie, yYou like Eunwoo Oppa, Unnie, don"t youright?"

Moon Jimin"s eyes widened at Soohyun"s words, and a light pink blush covered her cheeks. Moving back, Lee Soohyun folded her arms over her chest whilst wearing an innocent smile on her face.

"Again with that, Jiwoo-ah. Of course I don"t like him," Jimin said, "Even though I think Eunwoo is a decent guy, I don"t see him in that way, Jiwoo-ah. He is merely a little brother to me."

Soohyun"s smile grew wider, and she said, "Unnie, you seem to have misunderstood me. I don"t want to harm you and help you instead."

"Help me?" Jimin raised one of her eyebrows.
