Soohyun barely managed to wash her face and brush her teeth properly before she ran out of the room, and noticing the long flight of stairs, Soohyun felt her anger rise.
Nonetheless, Soohyun did not waste a second before running down the stairs and on her way down, she stumbled a couple of times due to the speed. If it was not for the fact that she was used to das.h.i.+ng down the stairs, Soohyun would"ve definitely tripped and fallen down, breaking a couple of her limbs in the process.
Noticing the familiar scene before her, Soohyun immediately came to the realization that she was at that creepy and abandoned mansion. Soohyun remembered seeing a dining room when she was searching for the boy last time.
Instantly, she rushed towards that direction, and when she reached the dining room, she stopped. Hands on her knees, Soohyun took deep breaths and tried to slow down her breathing rate.
Han Minhyun turned to look at Lee Soohyun. Beside him, the boy, Kim Junghyun, was seated and he was also staring at her. Due to how much of a rush Soohyun was in, she did not brush her hair properly. No matter how beautiful Moon Jiwoo"s hair was, it currently looked messy.
Standing up properly, Soohyun combed the top of her head with her fingers to make her hair look at more. This did little to fix the tangled mess her hair was currently. Noticing both of the eyes that were on her at this moment, Soohyun felt awkward.
"Sit down," Minhyun commanded— his voice sounding void of emotions.
Lee Soohyun nodded. Glancing at the clock, Soohyun noticed that more than five minutes had pa.s.sed. Nonetheless, Minhyun allowed her to eat along with him.
"Could it be that his words from earlier were just to trick me? I"m really gullible when it comes to him."
Thinking that, Soohyun let out an audible sigh. She had indeed become Han Minhyun"s plaything. This was not anything new to her though; This was not the first time Soohyun was used as someone"s amus.e.m.e.nt. Nonetheless, just because it was not her first time did not mean that she was not annoyed by him.
Once she finds out about his weakness, she will be exploiting that to her advantage.
"You"re really looking extremely ugly, Old Lady," Junghyun commented.
Smiling sweetly at the boy in front of her, Soohyun voiced out, "Such a pleasant little boy you are. Aren"t you?"
"Yah! Didn"t I tell you to not call me little!?"
Soohyun gasped, and wearing a wide smile on her face, she spoke out, "Omo! Look at how adorable you are. It makes me want to squish your cheeks."
Soohyun"s words were not a lie. The boy in front of her had rosy and slightly chubby cheeks. His bottom lip was protruded forward, and his hair was brushed messily. The clothes he wore made him look cuter in Soohyun"s opinion.
"You look like a pervert, Old Lady! And don"t a.s.sociate me with the word adorable. I"m handsome," Junghyun spoke out— his voice showing hostility.
"Wow! With the way you talk, you really seem like Minhyun"s little brother, although you don"t look very similar," Soohyun expressed.
"Are you f.u.c.king with me? I"m that Han Minhyun"s little brother. Do you take me to be r.e.t.a.r.ded?!" Junghyun exclaimed, "You—"
Soohyun noticed that Junghyun did not continue with his words any longer, and she realized that this was because of Han Minhyun fierce glare towards him.
It was quite easy for Soohyun to understand why he suddenly grew quiet. Under that gaze of his, Soohyun herself, as an adult, would melt, and Junghyun was merely a kid.
"Kim Junghyun, remember that I"m back at the Old Mansion now. If you don"t—"
Junghyun groaned.
"f.u.c.k! Fine! I"m not hungry anymore!" Junghyun exclaimed.
He slapped the food that was served to him with his right hand. The bowls crashed against the floor, creating a loud noise. The food splattered across the wall and the floor. Rage radiated from Kim Junghyun"s eyes, and the expression on Han Minhyun face remained the same.
Kim Junghyun"s sudden actions made Lee Soohyun jump in shock. It seemed that the boy in front of her had anger issues, and if he held supernatural powers like Han Minhyun, she needed to be wary of him. Already she was not on his good side.
"Minhyun, quit acting so haughty. You"ll meet your end one day as well." Junghyun sneered before shoving his hands inside his pockets and walking away arrogantly.
Pretending to be oblivious of the situation, Soohyun looked down at the food in front of her and started eating. In such situations, it"s better to feign ignorance.
Eating the food in front of her with great delight, a wide smile sat on Soohyun"s face. After the stressful morning, this felt really great.
"Stay away from Kim Junghyun," Han Minhyun ordered.
Unlike Lee Soohyun— who ate hurriedly— Han Minhyun maintained his manners when he ate. Since Soohyun missed breakfast, she was extremely hungry at this moment.
"Why?" Soohyun asked whilst raising her head to look at Han Minhyun.
"Just be an obedient wife and listen to all of my orders," Minhyun spoke out.
"Will you like me better and dote on me more if I do that?" Soohyun questioned before stuffing her mouth with the kimchi.
"Depends," Minhyun replied.
"Possibility if I use my best acting skills?" Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows.
"Ten to fifteen percent," Minhyun replied.
"Isn"t that too low? I won"t lose my pride for such a low possibility," Soohyun voiced out before shrugging her shoulders.
"Do you have options?" Minhyun questioned.
Soohyun winked.
"I"ll just have my part of fun and then run away from you. My acting skills might be bad, but I"m good at running away," Soohyun said.
A smirk formed on Minhyun"s face.
"How did you suddenly get so much courage? I am seeing that you"re getting less frightened of me," Minhyun voiced out.
"Just like how you are getting more talkative?" Soohyun questioned.
She then added, "Now that I know you won"t kill me or torture me like you do to your enemies, I feel much at ease."
Even though Minhyun voiced out about how he had other methods to torture her, those were not something that would make Soohyun completely fearful for him. Moreover, Soohyun knew when to control her tongue— most of the time that is.
Since Minhyun appeared to be in a good mood currently, she decided to be light-hearted with him. After all, Lee Soohyun had to seduce him, and if she showed him a business-like act, he might be more disinterested.
She had once read an article on how some male prefer girls who are fluent and smart with words, and it would not exactly kill her at this point to experiment.
