Soohyun called the server closest to them towards them, and when he stood in front of her, she flashed him a small smile.
Then, extending her hand towards the gla.s.s of drink on top of his tray, she took two gla.s.ses of that and handed one to Miyeon. While Miyeon accepted that gla.s.s of drink from her, she questioningly stared at Soohyun.
"About the other two gla.s.ses, give them to the two gentlemen standing over there. Say them it is from us," she vocalised as she subtly pointed to the two male standing there.
Hearing those words from Soohyun made Miyeon"s eyes wider, and the server politely nodded at her. With a bow, he started to walk over that direction.
"Wow! Jiwoo Unnie, you are really brave and bold; I really admire you. Wouldn"t it be too embarra.s.sing if they reject us though?" Miyeon voiced out.
"Ais.h.!.+ Which fool will reject an invitation from two beautiful women unless they are Kim or Han Minhyun?" Soohyun vocalised.
Miyeon chuckled and stated, "I guess you are right. After all, both of us are exceptionally beautiful today."
A smile formed on Soohyun"s face as she observed the server"s actions. As both the men took the gla.s.ses from the table, a confused expression showed on their faces, and turning back, the server pointed in their direction.
When the men looked in their direction, Soohyun and Miyeon both lifted their gla.s.ses up while wearing a smiling expression.
However, the two of them were really surprised when they saw that both of the men" eyes widened due to horror, and placing the gla.s.ses on top of the server"s tray, the two of them instantly ran away from that place.
Confused by their actions, Soohyun turned her head to look at Miyeon and vocalised, "What was that about? I thought both of us looked beautiful. Why did it look as if they were scared by us?"
"Ah! Both of us forgot. You walked in with Minhyun Oppa, and everyone saw that," Miyeon voiced out.
That"s when, it clicked within Soohyun, and she spoke out, "So, the reason they ran away is because I am Minhyun"s wife. What is this? I just wanted to have some fun. Minhyun would not have minded that earlier."
Miyeon laughed and said, "Minhyun Oppa"s power here is well known, and the last thing they would want to do is mess with his fated one."
"That means I can"t chase after anyone here. That is quite unfortunate," Soohyun vocalised as she lifted up the gla.s.s in her hand and took a sip out of it.
This made her feel despondent because she was looking forward to socializing here, and now, she would be bored here the entire time. Miyeon was a fun company, but knowing how the girl was, sooner or later, she will be running off in different directions.
She was too energetic to keep standing at one place.
Lee Soohyun had her eyes staring at the entire crowd before her as she took a sip out of her fifth gla.s.s of alcohol. It has been little over an hour since she had arrived at this ball, and currently, she found herself being utterly bored.
Hw.a.n.g Miyeon ran away to greet other friends of hers, and standing before the banquet table, she observed the people before her.
Everyone seemed to be occupied, and disturbing them was not something Soohyun wanted to do. After all, being called a nuisance did not sound that pleasant to her.
Taking another sip of the drink before her, she let out a sigh. That"s when she heard footsteps coming towards her.
Raising her head, Soohyun noticed that a woman was standing before her. Held within her hand was a gla.s.s of red wine with a slight scent of blood to it, and her att.i.tude showed that she was an elite.
Wearing a soft smile on her face, Soohyun questioned, "How may I help you?"
"Are you Moon Jiwoo, Minhyun"s fated one?" she questioned— her voice being articulate.
She nodded her head.
"Don"t tell me she is one of those admirers of Han Minhyun? Ah! Although cat fights are fun, getting into them in public is not what I prefer."
Extending her hand towards her, the woman said, "I am Lee Hyerin."
Staring awkwardly at the hand which was forwarded towards her, Soohyun decided to shake hands with her.
After Hyerin pulled away her hand, she said, "I am beautiful, young, and quite powerful as well. I believe that I have the qualifications to be Han Minhyun"s mistress. Can you put a word about it to Han Minhyun?"
"Wow! Look at the audacity! I am his wife, not his a.s.sistant! Geez! But this did not turn out bad. At least she did not pull my hair or challenge me."
"Sure, Minhyun was looking for a mistress the other day. Looking at you, I believe you are perfect for it, and you might not believe me, but he said me to keep a look out for potential mistresses. Looking at your figure, you would satisfy his appet.i.te perfectly," Soohyun voiced out.
Upon hearing those words from Soohyun, a sparkle appeared in Hyerin"s eyes, which was not missed by Soohyun, and guilt came upon her for lying to the lady before her. But this was fun, and Soohyun was getting too bored here.
"Is that what you think? I have worked really heard to maintain my current figure for Han Minhyun; this is perfect!" she excitedly stated.
"Indeed it is," Soohyun said, "Do you know what else he said to me? He told me to lead the potential mistress to him at the party. Would you like to go and talk to him?"
Lee Hyerin eagerly nodded her head.
Raising her finger, Soohyun pointed at the male dressed in black and vocalised, "You see Minhyun standing there. Go and approach him. Just say him that I have sent you there to bond with him. That will be enough for him to understand the situation."
