"Why do these missions get harder and harder? Why? Why? Do you think a man such as Eunwoo, who literally fakes his gentle demeanour and is sly, would be that easy to embarra.s.s? Do you take me to be some genius!?"
"There is a reward attached to it," Minnie voiced out.
"So, I won"t be killed if I don"t complete this?" Soohyun inwardly questioned.
"You won"t."
Soohyun almost smiled until Minnie added, "You"ll miss the reward and might be unsuccessful in completing the main missions. That might cause you to die."
"That"s just same as I"ll die if I don"t complete it!"
"I guess you can say that," Minnie said in a tone as if it was no big deal.
"You piece of—"
Eunwoo snapped his fingers in front of Soohyun, and hearing that, Soohyun immediately stopped her conversation with Minnie. A smile came on her face.
"Stop staring at me," Eunwoo stated curtly.
"Honestly, I was staring at you and trying to figure out how Chaeyoung likes you," Soohyun voiced out, "Don"t get me wrong. You totally look like a second lead material."
"I thought you"re the second male lead when I read the novel for real."
Soohyun continued, "Girls enjoy novel like romances, and the male leads in those novels are domineering type."
Staring at Eunwoo, Soohyun moved her eyes from top to bottom and said, "And you look just like the second male lead— the gentle one who falls weak to the male lead."
Seeing his eye seethe in anger, Soohyun felt an inexplicable sense of victory. Male leads were formidable enemy, and therefore, this was not going to be that easy.
Regaining his composure, Eunwoo questioned, "What is your relations.h.i.+p with Minhyun?"
After thinking hard for few seconds, finally an idea came to her mind, and putting on the expression of a lovestruck female, Soohyun spoke out, "Both of us are married duh. Silly Oppa, didn"t I tell about it to you before?"
Shyly, Soohyun punched Eunwoo"s chest. As much as she would like to take credit for the act she did, sadly, it was from the second female of a drama from whom she learned this.
"Stop joking around and be honest," Eunwoo said.
"Time to begin my acting."
Within a second, an expression filled with hurt covered Soohyun"s face, and tears immediately formed at the corner of her eyes. A small pout sat on her face, making her look pitiable. To many, her expression would appear completely genuine.
As she abruptly stood, the chair slid back, and she slammed her hand hardly on the table, making a loud noise. The sound attracted the attention of many sitting there, and they turned to face their table.
"Perfect! Now that I have gotten the audience ready, it"s time for me to show my impeccable acting skills that even the top actresses would be envious of."
A drop of tear fell down from Soohyun"s eyes whilst she exclaimed, "How could you say that, Oppa? Don"t you have any shame for saying such things to a married woman!?"
