The three of them— Lee Soohyun, Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo, and Jeon Minji— ended up being in the same room. Stepping into the room, they noticed two bunk beds inside the room, making them wonder whether or not there was another person arriving.
Nevertheless, pus.h.i.+ng that thought back in her mind, Soohyun dragged her backpack to one corner of the room and placed it there. As for Kw.a.n.gsoo, he did the same as well.
Jeon Minji instantly exited the room, and finding that to be a good thing, Soohyun instantly closed the door behind her after she left.
Then, she made her way to Kw.a.n.gsoo and voiced out, "Do you have any idea on what we should do next? Everything went really easy and fine until now."
Folding his arms across his chest, Kw.a.n.gsoo raised one of his eyebrows and stated, "I thought you"re supposed to be the Leader. So, enlighten me, Leader-nim."
Letting out a sigh, she said, "What could I have expected from you? Since we have nothing to do today, I will just sneak out and try to find any clue. It is better if everything is done quickly."
"Alone? Wow! You are courageous," he commented, "Sure, you can go alone, but don"t come crying to me when you need help. After all—"
Without continuing to further listen to his words, Soohyun walked towards the door and pulled it open with hopes that she will be finding some valuable information. Hearing Kw.a.n.gsoo"s ramblings would not bring any sort of benefit to her.
Seeing how Soohyun slammed the door before she had left, a gasp left his mouth as he said, "That disrespectful girl! Let"s see what she does when she gets into any sort of trouble. I sure as h.e.l.l would not be lending her a hand in those situations."
Lee Soohyun was not frightened. She believed that she would be panicking and anxious in this situation, but now faced with it, she did not feel any sort of emotions.
Deep within her, what she felt was blank. Surely there was slightest amount of thrill within her, but other than that, she could not feel emotions. This probably could be because she was aware of how close to death she was.
This mission was the matter of her life and death. Even if she did not take up this mission, she would be dying, and with doing this mission, there was also chances for her potentially dying.
At this point, she felt numb to it as if deep inside, she had expected for herself to die. Accepting her death was not something Soohyun thought she easily would be able to do. After all, she had made great sacrifices to live on up until this point.
Walking through the hallway, she looked at her either sides, and there was nothing beside her. This entire hallway felt never-ending, and she wondered whether or not there were secret pa.s.sageway around this place. After all, she had been walking for around twenty minutes now.
Spotting someone in front of her, more confusion grew within her. How did someone appear all of a sudden in this never-ending hallway?
Her eyesight range had decreased after her disguise, and on a closer inspection, her eyes widened after she recognized who that person was.
It was Ahn Eunwoo.
"F.u.c.k! It"s him! Don"t panic, Lee Soohyun. He would not be recognizing you. Although your body is the same, it"s not like he has touched you or Jiwoo before to notice that. With that mask on, you have a perfect desire."
Erasing the panic from her face, she confidently walked towards Eunwoo while making sure that the emotions on her face did not come off as fake.
Relief spread through her when she was able to walk past him without him being suspicious, and before she could let out a breath of relief, someone called out to her.
"Wait!"
Recognizing that to be Eunwoo"s voice, nervousness within her increased. Those emotions of her no longer remained blank.
"What is it? Could it be that he recognized me? He can"t be that good at it. Should I make a run for it now? No, that will make me seem more suspicious. Just obediently turn your head back. He definitely had some other reasons for calling me. You are getting anxious for no reason."
Looking at Ahn Eunwoo, Soohyun made a polite bow and stated, "Was there anything you needed?"
Unfortunately enough for her, there was no power at this moment that could change her voice, and she could only rely on s.h.i.+fting her pitch so that he would be unable to recognize her.
"You must be one of the new recruits. What is your name?" he vocalised— his tone being all grim.
"That"s all? Wow! See, Soohyun, you get nervous for absolutely no reason. This disguise of yours is perfect, and an idiot like Eunwoo would not be able to see through it."
"I am Lee Soohyun, Sir," she answered.
"You seem to belong to Yellow Clan. Well, that would not be a problem. I happen to need some help. Come and follow me," he vocalised.
At this opportunity, she found her heart swelling with joy. Eunwoo appeared to be one of the important person within the Headquarters, and if she got close to him, she might be able to find more clues.
Moreover, if she followed after him, then no one would accuse her of sneaking around. This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Sure, Sir," she vocalised.
With those words, Eunwoo turned his back on her and began to walk. Following after him silently, something hit her at that moment.
"Minnie, are you there? I need some help."
"What is it? If you want to ask about whether or not what you are doing is correct, then there is no need for that for even I don"t know about it," Minnie said.
"Certainly I know that you have no clue about it, so I would not be asking you anything regarding that. It is about Han Minhyun. Do you know where or how he is now?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but nope. Both Master and I are clueless on this part."
Hearing his answer out Soohyun into a despondent mood, and she just hoped he was fine.
