After the two of them had entered into the room, it was too late, and without discussing further on what Minhyun told her, the two of them went to bed.
Earlier today, Han Minhyun was called for handling some important affairs, leading him to him unable to have a conversation with her.
Stepping into the library, Soohyun let out a sigh. There was no one for her to spend time with her currently, and recalling about the tour Miyeon had given her yesterday, she used it to her knowledge to find the library.
Books were not indeed something Soohyun fancied, but at this moment, they could act as her source of information.
Silence surrounded the entire library, and seeing the incredible amount of books in the library, she was astounded. Walking further into the grand library, she looked around and had no idea where to begin her search.
The second floor appeared more appealing there, and she expected for more advanced information to be there. She looked around for the staircase, and, when it was found, walked over to it.
The staircase was coloured in blue and was crystalline. When she placed her hand on it, it was cold to the touch and felt comforting. Not feeling like to travel the entire way in her normal pace, she increased her speed, and in a matter of few seconds, she was on the flat surface of the second floor.
One thing she learned was that using her supernatural abilities drained a lot of energy out of her— depending on the type of ability she was using and the time.
Her eyes scanned over the large shelves of book, and she had no clue on where to begin her search. Taking in a deep breath, she decided to tackle the first shelf.
Books of various colours were on the shelf, and amidst of the books with tattered covers were those with new covers. One of the books caught her eyes.
Extending her hand towards it, Soohyun was about to pull it out. As it was out of her reach, she stood on her knees to get it, and her fingertips managed to touch the spine of the novel. Putting in her utmost effort, she held the book and pulled it out.
In the process of doing so, her clumsy movement caused the book beside it to fall down as well, and a loud sound was created when it made contact against the ground.
Scrunching her eyebrows, she bent down to pick up the book and realized that the book was open wide with its page spread. A photograph was turned, showing its white back.
Placing the book in her book down, she extended her hand towards the fallen book, curious on what the picture was on. Holding the photograph, she raised it up and turned it.
The picture made a small smile form on her face, and she mumbled, "Is that Minhyun?"
In the centre of the picture stood a boy, who looked to be around nine or ten, and he strangely appeared familiar to Minhyun. A wide smile was upon his face, and she could see how it truly reached his eyes.
A balloon was held within his hand, and seeing the happy birthday board behind him, she a.s.sumed this to be his birthday celebration. Standing behind him was a smiling couple, who seemed to be in mid twenties, and a younger boy stood beside Minhyun.
A bright expression sat on the younger boy as well, and Soohyun found him looking extremely familiar. But she could not exactly pinpoint she had seen him.
Pressing her lips into a thin air, she picked up the book, and as she was about to close the book, a certain word caught her eyes, making her open the book wide.
"Eunwoo," she muttered.
Wondering about why his name was present here, Soohyun bent down to sit on the ground, and leaning her back against the bookshelf, she began to read the sentence from the first.
"After this incident, Min Eunwoo had decided to take the decision of abandoning the clan, and his brother, Min Jaehwan, has disappeared after this incident," she read.
Looking over to the photo, Soohyun found the little boy in the picture resembling Eunwoo somewhat, and after connecting everything, only one thought came in her mind.
Eunwoo was from the Min Family, and Min Jaehwan— who was possibly Han Minhyun— was his older brother. Instead of disappearing, Jaehwan changed his ident.i.ty to Minhyun.
Although this was messed up, this made more sense to Soohyun, and as for the reason behind this, she had to ask Minhyun regarding it.
"It seems that sister-in-law was not aware of this beforehand."
Hearing a voice behind her, Soohyun was driven out from her thoughts, and turning her head, she saw a familiar man standing behind her— Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo. She recalled about their brief encounter yesterday, and so far, she had no opinion on him.
Closing the book in her hand, Soohyun forced out a wide smile on her face, and tilting her head back, she stared towards him.
Then, she vocalised, "I have no idea what you are talking about, Lee Kyungsoo-ssi, but don"t you think these kids look really cute."
"I have heard something interesting, Sister-in-law; It seemed that you had some kinds of entanglements with Eunwoo previously," Kyungsoo said.
"Really? It must have been the media," Soohyun stated, "They release a lot of stuff for money, and only a fool would choose to blindly believe them."
"So, are you telling me that the news on relations.h.i.+p with you and Eunwoo was a lie?" Kyungsoo questioned while raising one of his eyebrows. Amus.e.m.e.nt showed in his eyes.
Wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun stood up with both the books in her hand, and supporting herself upon her toes, she placed the book back in their place. She was relieved that they did not fall back on her head due to her sloppy methods of keeping them.
Then, looking towards Kyungsoo, Soohyun said, "No, I absolutely did not mean that. Both of us were engaged before, and I chased after him; that is the truth."
