Shock was the only thing Soohyun had felt, and she was not sure of how to handle this situation. The temperature of her cheeks began to increase, and it felt as if her heart would jump out of her chest at the rate it was beating.
This was not how she had felt when Junghyun had confessed to her. This time her feelings were more intense, and she did not how to come in terms with them. Rather than in an awkward, she found herself being a confused situation.
"What do you think, Lee Soohyun? Being dense doesn"t suit you," Minhyun vocalised.
She found a difficulty in breathing after hearing those words from him and questioned, "How? When? How could have this happened?"
Han Minhyun"s presence at that moment was making her nervous, and she visibly gulped. Minhyun actually fell for me, and seeing how intensely staring at her, she felt mesmerized by him.
"You Fool! Confess back to him on how you also love him. Come on! Don"t think that you don"t love him yet! That would be extremely stupid from your part! Geez! Don"t ruin his confession," Minnie stated— her voice holding annoyance.
Before Han Minhyun could say anything in reply to those questions, Soohyun voiced out, "Minnie thinks that I love you too, but I am unsure about that. I mean, oh my G.o.d! This is hard! Like, ah! I know I love you, but I don"t know in what way that is.
You do make my heart beat faster and blush as well, but then again, those dudes in the dramas do the same to me as well. However, I don"t care for them as much as I care for you. I guess that puts you apart from them. But— Ah! I think I better go from here now. I don"t even know what I am thinking at this moment."
Knowing that she had babbled a lot of nonsense and was bound to do the same if she stayed there, she pushed the chair back and stood up.
Running through the direction of the door, she held the handle, and opening the door, she ran out through it.
"Hold on, Lee Soohyun!" he shouted.
However, without putting any attention to that call of hers, she continued to run through the hallway while her cheeks burned due to the heat.
Closing her eyes, she tried to fix her thoughts and dim down the glee that she had within her. Han Minhyun loved her!
"I love Minhyun; I love him not. I love Minhyun. I don"t love him," Soohyun repeated as she tore off the petals of the flower before her.
Lee Soohyun was currently in the palace garden, and as her mind was in a distressed mind, she thought that this would be a perfect distraction.
However, when her eyes fell on the flowers in the garden, a foolish idea came inside her mind, and sitting down, she began to pluck the flowers. Whilst tearing off of their petals, she repeated on whether or not she liked Han Minhyun.
By now, she had torn the petals off of ten flowers, and the results were both she loved and did not love Minhyun. This was not at all a reliable source, but for the sake of the peace inside her mind, she wanted to continue with this method.
As she was about to tear off the eighth petal of the flower in her hand, she felt a hand on top of her shoulder. Since her entire concentration was on the flower, she was caught by surprise due to the hand, and a gasp left her mouth.
"Whom do you love and not love, Jiwoo?" A voice questioned with teasing undertone.
Knowing that voice very well, Soohyun turned her head back and shot him an annoyed glare. Seeing the smirk on his face made her feel more irritated. Surely, he came here to tease her on the entire matter.
"Shut up, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo! I am doing an important thing, so leave me alone," Soohyun voiced out before looking back on the flowers.
As a chuckle left Kw.a.n.gsoo"s mouth, he watched as Soohyun pulled off the last petal off the flower in her hand before placing the stem on top of the ground.
Crouching down to sit beside Soohyun on the ground, he said, "One thing I can a.s.sure you is that, Jiwoo, you would not be able to find your answer even if you finish plucking out all of the flowers inside the garden."
Forcing out a smile on her face, Soohyun stated, "How are you so sure of that? I might be able to find the answer. Now, this makes me eager to pluck out all of the flowers in the garden. This is a challenge! Let"s see who wins."
Those words of Lee Soohyun caused Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo to extend his hand towards the direction of the garden, and wearing an innocent expression on his face, he pulled out one of the flowers from the garden.
Then, holding the flower in his hand, he began to tear out the petals, and staring at flower, he mimickd Soohyun"s voice.
"She will win the challenge; I will win the challenge. I will lose the challenge; she will lose the challenge. Soohyun will be a winner; I will be a—"
Before Kw.a.n.gsoo could continue further, Soohyun let out a couple of sarcastic laughs and said, "That was very funny, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo! Now that I have complimented you, can you get away from here? After all, I have an entire garden to handle now."
All of a sudden, Kw.a.n.gsoo"s eyes turned dark in that moment, and feeling the serious air around her, Soohyun had creases forming between of her eyebrows. She wondered on what caused the sudden change of his mood.
"Now, that Hyung had given you his heart, you better treat it properly, Moon Jiwoo. If you dare play around with it, I will make sure to show your place," Kw.a.n.gsoo threatened.
Those words of his caused a chill to go down Soohyun"s back, and before she could properly scan his expression, he disappeared from that scene.
She mumbled, "What was that about?"
