Chapter 353 - Be a petty man

This restlessness was not helping Lee Soohyun in any way, and therefore, mustering up her courage, she looked at Minhyun to settle everything. Only then will she be able to rest properly.

"Han Minhyun, I have something to talk to you about. Are you already asleep?" she voiced out while her eyes stared at his back.

Seeing that he was not responding, Soohyun was baffled at how he fell asleep when she barely was able to get a wink of sleep.

Feeling irritated by his attitude, she sat up on the bed and was adamant on annoying him to wake up. There was no way she was going to let him sleep when she was suffering in such a way.

Looking at his face, she noticed that his eyes were closed and was unable to decipher whether or not he was pretending to do so. 

Moving her hand closer to him, she poked on his cheek, and seeing no response from him only fuelled up her determination to irritate him further.

Since poking had no affect on him, she resorted to pinching his cheek. Holding on to a piece of flesh upon his cheek, Soohyun twisted it and pulled it back, making that it hurt him.

"Wow! Han Minhyun, your cheeks really feels better than mine," she spoke out, "It is softer and smoother. What type of beauty products do you use or could it be one of the things that naturally came off to the Red Clan? 

Geez! You lucky bastard! But I am also from the Red Clan. Why can't I have as beautiful skin as you? How do you maintain it? Let me in—"

Before Lee Soohyun was able to continue further, she felt her hand being gripped by someone, and her hold on Minhyun's cheek loosened. A gasp left her mouth at the sudden action of being pulled to the front.

When Soohyun thought that she would be flung off of the bed, Minhyun grabbed on to her waist and pulled him closer to his body.

It seemed that he had not fallen asleep and was merely teasing Soohyun again. Raising her head, Soohyun stared at Minhyun with a full expression.

What shocked her the most was that there was no mask upon his face, and his enthralling features left her with no words. She could only gape at the man before her.

'When did he even get the opportunity to take off his mask? He had gotten really courageous though. How can he just remove his disguise this easily? This Han Minhyun really wants to seduce me right now with those looks of his. Soohyun, hold it in. Don't embarrass yourself in front of those top class looks.'

"How do you treat your skin?" Soohyun managed to question.

Although her question sounded quite foolish, in her state of mind, that was the best she could muster up. Everytime she looked at Minhyun's unmasked appearance, it just seduced her more and more.

"Oh! Is that why you were disturbing my nap? To know the secret behind my skin?" he questioned while an amused expression sat in his eyes.

Their close proximity caused nervousness to bloom within Soohyun, and her cheeks began to heat up.

'Yah! My body, you really surprise me! Although you have been around Minhyun for so long, you still react in such an embarrassing way.'

"No, that was not the exact reason. That Minnie was annoying me about how I love you, and I wanted to ask you on whether or not that is true. Do I love you, Minhyun?" she rambled.

Realizing what she had just uttered, Soohyun raised her head and placed her palm on top of her mouth. How could she have just directly say all of that? Was she truly a fool?"

Her words caused Han Minhyun to let out series of laugh, and his euphonious voice caused embarrassment to fill Soohyun.

"Stop laughing, You Sadist! This, this, this, I did not exactly mean to say it. I don't even know how those words left my mouth. Ah! This mouth of mine! I really need to discipline it well! If I could, I would have beaten it up for being so reckless. See, I am saying nonsense now. This must be because of the lack of sleep. Let's talk tomorrow," Soohyun stated.

She buried her face within Minhyun's c.h.e.s.t, and unaware of what type of expression was sitting on her face currently, she could not find the courage to look at Minhyun directly at his eyes.

"You are really cute, Lee Soohyun," Minhyun vocalised, "What do I do now? It makes me want to bully you more."

"What? Do you watch dramas too as well now? This is a typical sentence used in the dramas. That's why, please don't use it as well. It is all too weird," Soohyun vocalised weakly— her voice being muffled.

"What are you being so shy for, My Dear Wife? About your question, would not it be better for me to answer it when you're looking at me right in my eyes?" Minhyun questioned while a teasing smirk appeared in his eyes.

"No, nevermind about that question. I really don't need an answer from you. Good night," she spoke out.

However, those words of hers were not enough to make Han Minhyun give up. Moving his hand closer to her, he gripped on to her chin and pulled her face up.

Against that strength, Soohyun was unable to do anything, and not wanting to stare at Minhyun's appearance, she tightly closed her eyes, praying for this moment to pass by quickly. She had an inkling that the longer it lasted, more mistakes will be created by her.

"Wow! Dear Wife, your cheeks are really warm now. What are you thinking about? If you keep your eyes closed like that, I might feel offended," Minhyun stated.

Then, moving his face closer to her ear, he whispered, "Dear Wife, I can be a really petty man."
