After Han Minhyun had walked off with Lee Soohyun, silence was present in the lobby. Oh Chaeyoung noticed how Eunwoo was staring towards him; He did not step closer to her or say anything to her.
Moon Jimin, on the other hand, had moved further away from Eunwoo, and with her cheeks being coloured red, she stared at the ground. She felt a surge of happiness go through her, noticing how Eunwoo did not try to explain anything to Chaeyoung.
Oh Jihoon and Hw.a.n.g Yejoon stared straight at Ahn Eunwoo; Nonchalance could be seen on their faces. Staring compet.i.tion between them and Eunwoo carried on whilst silence sat beside them.
With one last glance towards Eunwoo, Chaeyoung turned her back on him whilst a lingering pain remained within her chest. She hated herself for having expectations towards her whilst she walked towards the direction of her room.
"Ahn Eunwoo— that"s what you"re called now, right?" Yejoon questioned whilst raising the corner of his lips.
"Hw.a.n.g Yejoon and Oh Jihoon," Eunwoo enunciated, "It"s not hard to recognize you two."
Yejoon chuckled and vocalised, "I"ll be taking that as a compliment, but it is nice to see you following my steps. Keep it up!"
Saying that, Yejoon placed his hand around Jihoon and turning their back towards Eunwoo, he said, "Let"s go and take a bath."
Ahn Eunwoo clenched his hand into a tight fist, and noticing the tense atmosphere, Jimin moved her hand towards Eunwoo— placing her palm on top of his fist.
"Eunwoo-ah, are you fine? Could this be because of me?" Jimin questioned— nervousness being noticeable in her tone.
Ahn Eunwoo shook his head, and turning towards Jimin, he flashed her a wide smile. He then vocalised, "No, Noona, it is nothing like that. This has nothing to do with you."
"What about Chaeyoung, Eunwoo? She misunderstood about everything. Should I go and—"
Extending his hand towards her, Eunwoo rubbed her head and said, "Noona, I"ll go and handle everything. You should find a room and take a bath. You"ll be catching a cold if you continue to stay that way."
Lowering her line of sight, Jimin nodded whilst cursing profanities towards Jiwoo. If it wasn"t for her, Eunwoo and her would have gone much further from kissing. Although Jimin was curious on why Jiwoo was here, she did not want to believe that she would be plotting against her.
"I"ll go and book two rooms for us, Eunwoo. Good luck with everything," Jimin said before walking towards the receptionist"s desk, which was in the other room.
Ahn Eunwoo ran his hand through his damp hair and followed after Jimin. Before dealing with everything, it would be better for him to take a bath first.
Lee Soohyun stared at Minhyun before her. She could clearly hear her rapid heart beats, and under the dim light, she could distinctly make out his feature. His face being covered by the mask made him look enigmatic, and she was curious to know the secret about it.
However, she wanted him to tell her about all of his secrets whenever he is comfortable. Even if she wanted for him to open up to her, she was ready to wait for it.
Hearing him confess about how he trusted her, b.u.t.terflies began to randomly flutter around her stomach, and she found herself unable to meet gaze with Han Minhyun.
Turning to look the other way, Soohyun questioned, "What are you saying all of a sudden? What are you apologizing for?"
Taking in a deep breath, Minhyun voiced out, "Look at me, Soohyun."
Reluctantly moving her head to stare at Minhyun, she kept looking towards Minhyun"s shoulder. She was afraid of meeting eyes with him and feeling those weird tingling feelings in her heart.
"I thought you"ll be more angry, and I actually prepared myself for it," Soohyun pointed out.
Although Soohyun had truly strengthened herself to hear those words from Minhyun, when those words actually left his mouth, she found her emotions being a mess, and it was hard for her to control them. She was aware that it will hurt; However, she did not expect it to hurt to this extent.
That"s why, when Minhyun voiced out about how he trusted her, joy and relief spread through her in a matter of milliseconds, and a certain feeling within her intensified.
"You"re about to cry," Minhyun vocalised.
Soohyun let out a chuckle, and in a teasing tone, she voiced out, "What? Don"t tell me merely that was enough to guilt trip you?"
Pointing towards her chest, he said, "I have been in such a position, and I know how painful it is to have an ache there. I am not a coward who refuses to accept my mistakes."
Touching her chest, Soohyun had a wide smile forming on her face— which reached up to her eyes— and she vocalised, "Minhyun, you really know how to charm the females. What to do now? I am really falling for you."
Placing his hand down, Minhyun shook his head and stated, "Get serious now, Soohyun."
Soohyun nodded and said, "Right, Minhyun-ah! But you shouldn"t point at a girl"s chest like this. You"ll be mistaken as a pervert."
Sucking in the cold air, Minhyun voiced out, "I am still angry at you for not listening to my words."
"Well, I am angry at you for hiding things from me. It is suspicious how Eunwoo chose to be with Chaeyoung, and I am sure someone like you found it dubious as well. Moreover, I know that you have a feeling— no, you"re sure— Chaeyoung will fall for Eunwoo.
However, you let her be with him. There is something about this entire thing that doesn"t seem right. There is something you"re trying to hide, and there was no use to keep up that facade when Eunwoo knows that Chaeyoung is involved with Red Clan," Soohyun expressed.
"Han Minhyun, what are you actually trying to do? I know my actions today probably destroyed all of your plans, but I was forced into that position. If Chaeyoung trusts Eunwoo wholeheartedly, the ending wouldn"t be good for either of us," Soohyun added.
