Before Yejoon could answer, Junghyun stomped towards the dining room, and his footsteps created loud noises. Staring at his darkened face, she could see that he was extremely angry, making her curious on what happened between him and Minhyun.
As Soohyun and Yejoon stared at him, Junghyun shot both of them glares before sitting down on his seat. Confused on what could have happened, Soohyun and Yejoon exchanged glances.
"What"s the matter, Junghyun Oppa? Are you alright?" Lee Soohyun asked carefully whilst showing concern in her voice.
Turning towards her, Junghyun exclaimed, "Shut up!"
Hearing his words, Soohyun shrugged her shoulders and decided to attempt to talk to Junghyun. He appeared to be in a bad mood, and she did not want to be the one to annoy her further.
Looking at Yejoon, Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows and tried to communicate with him. Whilst staring at him pleadingly, she hoped he would understand her meaning.
Hw.a.n.g Yejoon shrugged his shoulders, and the casual look in his eyes implied "no idea". She scrunched up her nose before she mouthed to him— "What do you we do now?"
After reading her lips somewhat accurately, Yejoon moved his lips to indicate "I am confused as well".
A sigh left Soohyun"s lips before she mouthed, "This situation is too awkward".
Understanding what she was trying to convey and her feelings, Yejoon nodded before to moving his lips to silently say, "Junghyun right now is making me too tensed to do anything."
"Do something about it. Seeing him this way is scary," Soohyun mouthed back.
Somewhat getting the meaning behind Soohyun"s words, Yejoon silently replied, "He hates me, and if I start something, he will attack me surely."
Although it was confusing, Soohyun managed to comprehend half of what Yejoon was saying and mouthed, "I am a mere human. He will destroy me in a matter of seconds. I am too frightened to even make a sound".
Yejoon silently vocalised, "You"re are beautiful woman. No one can—"
Soohyun let out a gasp when she noticed the fork which came towards her, and due to her fast reflexes, she was able to hold the fork. Soohyun"s eyes widened.
Knowing that it was Yejoon, she turned to look at Junghyun. Soohyun stared at him whilst showing confusion on her face. She did not understand why would he do that all of a sudden. Although he held a hostility towards her in the beginning, she thought that everything between them was friendly now.
What could have happened?
Kim Junghyun did not understand why he attacked Soohyun all of a sudden. When he saw her happily conversing with Yejoon, Junghyun felt rage rise within her.
Junghyun did not like that. Lee Soohyun was Han Minhyun"s fated one, and that was enough of a reason to make him want to destroy her. Hating how he was starting to crave for Soohyun"s presence, he wanted to ruin her. If he does that, at least he wouldn"t feel this way towards her.
Before he knew it, he targeted the fork towards her. However, as the fork moved in her direction, Junghyun recalled about their fun moments, how Soohyun looked when she had that wide smile on her face, and how she teased him. That made him stop.
Although he wanted to hurt and destroy her, he couldn"t. A bigger part of him wanted to always watch her smile brightly and joke around with him. Although she did not belong to him, he wanted to tie her up and keep her by his side.
"Junghyun?" Soohyun questioned.
When he noticed Soohyun"s eyes, a sharp pain went through his heart, and standing up, he turned her back on Soohyun before running away. He did not want to see her any longer; Lee Soohyun was dangerous. He had to avoid her.
Looking at Yejoon, she asked, "What just happened?"
If Soohyun had to be honest, Junghyun"s attack hurt her. Although Soohyun easily did not let herself be attached to others, Junghyun"s personality made her feel comfortable.
Nonetheless, Soohyun understood. It was not possible for them to be friends— not when Junghyun did not like Minhyun. Lee Soohyun let out a sigh.
This was not the first time Soohyun felt betrayed so she was alright with it. After all, Soohyun was good when it comes to moving on.
"Are you alright?" Yejoon asked whilst raising one of his eyebrows.
Facing him, a bright smile formed on Soohyun"s face as she nodded and said, "Yes, I am alright; Just slightly shaken up."
Hearing knocks on the door, Minhyun ordered, "Come in."
The door to the room opened, and Butler s.h.i.+n stepped into the room. As the door behind him closed, Butler s.h.i.+n bowed.
"What"s the matter, Master Minhyun?" Butler s.h.i.+n asked.
Minhyun vocalised, "The barrier around the mansion— I am planning to make it stronger."
Hearing those words from Han Minhyun, Butler s.h.i.+n"s eyes widened, and he said, "You can not do that, Master Minhyun. It is too dangerous. The barrier is already strong enough, and Master Minhyun, your lifespan might shorten if you increase it."
"Doesn"t matter. They might soon enough break through the barrier enough to reach Junghyun. I can not let that happen. Hide this from the Leaders; I don"t want them to know about this. Prepare blood for me so that I would have enough energy to do it. I am also planning to connect myself with it."
"W-What, Master Minhyun? C-Connect yourself? Before being your butler, I promised to protect you, Master Minhyun. I can not let that happen; You can not connect yourself to it," Butler s.h.i.+n vocalised, "As you feel protective over Master Junghyun, I feel the same way about you!"
Smiling at Butler s.h.i.+n, he said, "Thank you for everything, Butler s.h.i.+n, but this is important. If I connect myself to it, I will be able to know when it is being attacked and probably who attacked it as well."
"But, Master Minhyun, when the barrier breaks, you"ll be dying as well," Butler s.h.i.+n voiced out, "The risk is too high. You can"t die, Master Minhyun."
Han Minhyun let out a chuckle as Soohyun"s mind flashed in his mind at this moment. Although he had no idea on why her face flashed in his head at this moment, it made him feel lighter.
"Don"t worry, Butler s.h.i.+n. I have people to take care of; It isn"t that easy to kill me."
Hearing Minhyun"s words, Butler s.h.i.+n let out a sigh. Han Minhyun"s mind can not be changed once it settles on something.
"I"ll prepare for it, Master Minhyun."
Butler s.h.i.+n bowed.
