"Yah! Yah! You liar! When did I say that? Lee Soohyun, you"re really evil for plotting against me this way!" Minnie exclaimed— her voice clearly showing how panicked she was at this moment.

Nonetheless, Soohyun was enjoying this. Minnie being like this gave her a s.a.d.i.s.tic joy, and she ignored Minnie"s words.

"Three to four mistress?" Minhyun asked.

Soohyun nodded and said, "My Source said how you have lots of admirers in your country and even a couple of mistresses. I am curious to know how those mistresses of yours are."

"Your Source is indeed interesting; I would like to meet it one day," Minhyun stated.

"Lee Soohyun, you"re really evil! I badly want to strangle you at this moment. Wait! I didn"t mean to say that. My mouth mistakenly slipped. Please overlook this," Minnie said— her tone changing from angry to pleading.

"It surely is. However, it said that it doesn"t want to meet you because it is scared of you after threatening it"s boss" wife."

"Hmm, Soohyun, I think I am sure who your Source is," Minhyun said, "Say Mihee that I will be meeting her when I go back to Underworld."

"You know what, Soohyun? Before I die, I will be taking you with me. Both of us will be dying together," Minnie said, "You"re really a jerk! Because of you, everything is ruined! Now, I have to delay— Nevermind, I am revealing nothing more. Lee Soohyun, I haven"t seen anyone as evil as you. I"ll die! I will really die now!" 

Hearing those words from Minnie made Soohyun laugh out loud. She had more ways to blackmail Minnie— who was also known as Mihee— if she needed something else.

"My Source heard you loud and clear. Let"s go and train now, Minhyun, since I feel more refreshed. Ah! After all those embarra.s.sing things it made me do, revenge feels great," Soohyun said.

Minhyun chuckled and commented, "It was mortifying indeed. You"re quite thick-skinned to show your face to me after all that."

"Geez! This is survival techniques. You would"ve done the same if you were in my place," Soohyun vocalised.

"I doubt it," Minhyun stated.

As everyone sat around the dining table, Soohyun stole glances at the man sitting at her other side and then looked at Yejoon questioningly. 

Soohyun did not know who the man beside her was. His soft brown hair fell on his head, and he appeared quite tender. Innocence radiated off of him, and he appeared to be someone who would be soft-spoken.

Staring at Soohyun, Yejoon understood what she was trying to imply and mouthed her the answer. When Soohyun was unable to make the name out, creases appeared between her eyebrows, and she furrowed them.

Yejoon moved his mouth to silently form a word, and somewhat understanding what Yejoon was trying to say, she mouthed, "Oh Siwoo?"

Yejoon shook his head and silently enunciated, "Oh Jihoon."

"His name is Oh Jihoon. You don"t need to act like this for it," Minhyun vocalised.

Hearing Minhyun words, Soohyun let out a scoff, and looking towards him, she said, "This is fun. Yejoon and I are trying hard to learn to speak silently. It is one of the essential survival techniques."

"Yejoon isn"t younger than you," Minhyun pointed out.

Soohyun was aware of that. If Yejoon addressed Junghyun casually without any honorifics, it showed that he was older than him. Nonetheless, calling him Yejoon casually sounded better to her.

"I know, but not many knows my age, so it"s alright," Soohyun voiced out.

Turning towards Yejoon, Soohyun asked, "You don"t mind, right, Yejoon-ah?"

Yejoon said, "I would prefer you calling me something else. Too bad, Minhyun Hyung is present here."

After directing a wink towards Yejoon, Soohyun turned to face Oh Jihoon and vocalised, "h.e.l.lo, I am Moon Jiwoo."

As long as the person was friendly enough, Soohyun liked the idea of having more people in the mansion. This would brighten up the gloomy mansion.

"h.e.l.lo, Jiwoo-ssi," He vocalised formally— his voice being mild and quiet, sounding as if he was shy.

Seeing the light pink blush upon his cheeks, Soohyun held in her urge to squeal and patted the back of her head. She did not want to scare off the boy by looking at his hungrily and therefore, tried to control the emotions in her eyes.

Before Soohyun could ask her next question, Minhyun voiced out, "Jihoon is not good with strangers, so don"t frighten him."

Feigning shock on her face, Soohyun turned towards Minhyun and let out a gasp. Holding her heart as if she had been brutally stabbed, Soohyun dramatically vocalised, "Minhyun-ah, do you actually mean me? I don"t frighten people. Look at Yejoon and me after all."

With mock being shown in his eyes, Minhyun said, "Jihoon tends to avoid girls who tries to flirt with him."

Soohyun scoffed and questioned, "Are you actually trying to ruin my chance of making friends by making fake accusatios?"

Minhyun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am stating some honest facts so that you can successfully become friends with him."

Scrunching up her nose towards Minhyun, Soohyun turned to face Jihoon, and wearing a wide smile on her face, she slapped both of her hands together.

"So, Jihoon-ssi, do you watch dramas? I had a drama partner for few days before he decided to betray me— not that I am affected by it. Don"t worry! I am completely harmless, Jihoon-ah, regardless of what Minhyun says," Soohyun said.

Wearing a shy expression upon his face, Oh Jihoon nodded and stated, "Sure, Jiwoo-ssi. I watched dramas sometimes as well, but I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to that."

Soohyun let out a chuckle and vocalised, "You don"t need to worry about that, Jihoon-ssi. I"ll teach you everything!"

"Eat quickly and chat less. You have training after this. Jihoon will be the one teaching you as I am busy," Minhyun said.

Seeing at the quiet boy beside her, Soohyun felt a wide smile forming on her face. Seeing how Jihoon was, Soohyun had an inkling that the training will be much milder if Jihoon was involved, and maybe it would be more fun.

"Sure, I have no problem with it!" Soohyun exclaimed.
