Lee Soohyun opened her eyes and was greeted with a bright light. Unable to bear the intensity, she closed her eyes. In order to become accustomed to the light Lee Soohyun opened her eyes gradually.
She let out a hearty yawn.
"What a weird dream I had today!" Soohyun mumbled, "Jihyun teleported out of nowhere and the windows in my room shattered completely just like in those movies. I swear I have been watching too much fantasy and action movies recently."
When Lee Soohyun moved her hand up in order to wipe away the tears that formed at the corner of her eyes, she noticed that there was something on her face. Curiosity filled Lee Soohyun as she pulled that open, and she winced at the pain as it came off.
Bringing the object in front of her eyes, Soohyun looked at it questioningly and muttered, "A bandage? When did I get hurt?"
Noticing the blood that was smeared upon the bandage, Lee Soohyun recalled everything that happened last night, and her eyes widened considerably.
"Minhyun was in the middle of scolding me when the window just shattered. There was a note that was left behind and then Jihyun teleported into the room out of nowhere.
I know my current life is not normal, but this is just on a different level. Yah! Minnie! Where are you when I need you? Show yourself."
"You finally found out about it, Soohyun. I was waiting for that," Minnie voiced out.
"Are Han Minhyun and Seo Jihyun not human? How in the h.e.l.l could you not tell me about it? Does that mean I have bedded someone who is of a different species than me? What type of missions are you making me do, You Dumb Mission?
I only sleep with humans; You can"t just make me sleep with some unknown species. This is just clearly wrong. Did you see how the window broke yesterday? I don"t want to stay in this world anymore. Yeah, Stupid Minnie, just take me back. What happened yesterday—"
"Calm down, Soohyun. Calm down. Didn"t I say that you"re safe from death for a year?" Minnie voiced out, "And you"re going to face far more scarier things in this life."
"What if I"m schizophrenic and imagining this entire thing? Actually, I"m in my real world and this is something I have created in my imagination. That should be it! This is too unreal," Soohyun rambled on, "I should visit a psychologist soon. If that doesn"t work, I"ll just visit a shaman and exorcise whatever possessed me."
"Soohyun, if you don"t shut up now, I"ll make sure that you die before a year!" Minnie snapped— frustration noticeable in her tone.
Lee Soohyun let out a groan and shut her mouth close. Even now, she had a hard time absorbing her current situations. The matters kept on getting complicated. If they had to deal with such a.s.sa.s.sins, then when will she get the chance to top Han Minhyun?
"Han Minhyun and Seo Jihyun are not human like you. He will explain what is happening in a little bit, and you need to calm down your mind by then. If you can transmigrate to inside a novel, then why can"t this happen?"
Although Lee Soohyun was extremely frightened at this moment and her heart was beating rapidly, Soohyun knew that she needed to calm down at this moment and think clearly. In a moment of panic, she can not ruin everything.
"The novel was not tagged under Fantasy or Supernatural. It had no mentions on Han Minhyun being anything other than a human," Lee Soohyun pointed out.
"That novel is just an outline of what would have happened if Moon Jiwoo, now You, acted that way. It hid many things, and since your ways of approaching a situation are different from Moon Jiwoo"s, things are slowly starting to get revealed.
Moon Jiwoo never knew about it because she kept her distance with Han Minhyun, but it was a different case with you. Moreover, you haven"t finished the entire story so you"re clueless about it," Minnie explained.
"Heol! Talk about a major plot twist. I would have never expected that," Soohyun commented.
"If the Villain is not a human, could it be that the Male Lead isn"t a human as well? That would make more sense," Soohyun mumbled.
"About all of this, Han Minhyun will explain to you. Your face will give away to him if you know the matter from earlier. A piece of advise, Lee Soohyun.
Han Minhyun isn"t that gullible or an idiot; He can easily look through your acting. So, instead of acting fake to him and making him form distrust in you, show him your real self."
Lee Soohyun"s eyes widened.
"So, all the acts I put on before, he saw through all of them? Does that mean I"m exposed? This is so embarra.s.sing, and this will just make him hate me! Can"t we just rewind time? Ah!"
"You"re a fool for thinking that you can convince him with your pitiful acting. Who do you think he is? He has seen people with better acting skills than you, and even those people were not able to convince him," Minnie voiced out, "So, what gives you the confidence that you"ll be able to?"
Lee Soohyun"s hands trembled, and she wanted to cry out loudly. Does that mean all that humiliation she went through before was just pointless?
Soohyun desperately wanted to beat up Minnie at this moment. If Minnie had warned her before about this, she wouldn"t have made herself into such a joke. There weren"t many details about the Villain in the story, and, therefore, Soohyun was clueless on how he actually was or what his abilities were.
"Han Minhyun is a suspicious man, and at this moment, he is doubtful about you. With how you latched yourself on to him, it"s only right for him to be suspicious of you. If only you be honest with him and show your true self might he be convinced that you mean no harm to him," Minnie said.
Soohyun scoffed.
"My real self? Are you kidding me? If I did that, Han Minhyun would think a thousand times before kissing me!"
"You won"t know unless you try it," Minnie cajoled.
At that moment, the door to the room opened, and raising her head, Lee Soohyun looked towards the door. Han Minhyun stood beside the door, and seeing him, Soohyun turned away. Looking at him would only remind her of those embarra.s.sing moments she wanted to forget.
"Minhyun is here. Talk to him properly and don"t make him hate you. You"re still not on his good side."
