Chapter 354 - The old man

His sultry voice was capable of causing chills to go down her back, and she instantly opened her eyes at that. Raising her hand, she touched her ear, and fl.u.s.tered, she stared at him.

With his collarbones exposed, playful expression in his eyes, and smirk on his face, he was way too seductive for Lee Soohyun.

'At this rate, I am really going to have a nosebleed.'

Lee Soohyun coughed, and in the spur of the moment, she spoke out, "Well, look, since Minnie told me that I love you, and Minnie is as good as reading my feeling as myself, then that means that I love you I guess. I will not be repeating myself any more. That's all. Let's go to sleep now."

"Was that you confessing to me, My Dear?" he questioned.

He then added, "Even your way of confessing us really unique. It makes me want to love you more."

"Geez! Did you take lessons from Yejoon about all of this?" she spoke out, "Could it be that you have watched dramas or searched online to learn of this?"

"Since both of our feelings are mutual, let's not talk about useless matters," Han Minhyun said before placing his lips on top of Lee Soohyun's.

'Han Minhyun is truly a pervert! I can't believe that I was destined to be with such a perverted guy, and I love him? Ah! I have blurted out those words due to Minnie, and the strange atmosphere. Ah! This is so weird! I want to disappear now. How do I face him now?

No, things are supposed to be normal between us. Why are you worrying so much about it? He loves you, and you love him. What's so abnormal about it? I guess Minnie was right about the part that I would not want to divorce him even after the missions are complete. That bastard knew about all of it.'

Driving those thoughts away from her mind, Soohyun pushed the blanket off the bed, and standing in front of the mirror, she noticed all of the marks Minhyun had made on her neck.

He was not like that before; it seemed that he was recently changing his ways as well. Thinking about all that would be coming in the future, her cheeks warmed up considerably.

Raising her hand, she cupped her cheeks and questioned, "You are really weird! Why are you this s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e? Han Minhyun is just another handsome man that you mistakenly fell in love with. Is it really necessary for you to behave in such a way? I don't understand how you work even though you are my cheeks."

Regardless of Soohyun's nonsensical ramblings, the events of yesterday left a jittery feeling within Soohyun, and a wide smile formed on her face. She found herself being in a joyful mood.

However, this moment would be very much short lasting.

"Sorry, Miyeon, sorry," Soohyun vocalised, "I forgot to sneak you out yesterday. I will be doing it tonight. I promise."

Standing in front of Soohyun, Miyeon shook her head and spoke out, "It's alright. I understand. After all that had happened yesterday, you must have been tired as well. We can go today instead. I don't mind it. By the way, Soohyun, I have baked some cookies today as well. Do you want to try them out? It really gets boring at this room alone now."

Hwang Miyeon let out a sigh while she looked down at the floor.

Lee Soohyun understood that after losing such a important figure in her life, Miyeon needed someone to comfort her and to be by her side. Being locked away inside a room could be harmful to her mental health.

"Hmm," Soohyun said, "I guess I can stay at here. I have free time right now. What type of cookies they are?"

"Orange and Lemon frosted cookies," Miyeon replied.

Sitting at the meeting beside the Leaders was indeed nerve-wracking, and Soohyun was close to scolding Han Minhyun for bringing her into such a place.

She was perfectly fine with him letting her in on the details of the meeting after it was over, but he insisted on her coming at here, mentioning how she had a big contribution this time around.

Currently, all of them were in the meeting room, and in front of them was a big, round table. The King, the Leaders, Minhyun, and Soohyun was seated all around it.

That's when, Soohyun's eyes fell on Oh Jaeho sitting at one side, and the look in his eyes was something she took to be really strange. His eyes were on her, and there seemed to be something deep inside it.

But Soohyun are unable to pinpoint what it was that she found off. This was not the only time she has noticed it. Everytime he looked at her, there was something very much peculiar about his gaze. One thing she was sure of that it was nothing good.

Instantly, he covered up that emotion from his eyes and flashed her a small smile.

Turning her gaze away from him, she decided to concentrate on the other things. It would seem suspicious if she kept on staring at him in that way.

"Han Minhyun, care to explain why she had been brought here?" Han Sungmin questioned, raising one of his eyebrows.

'Ah! Why does that annoying old man have to speak? Geez! It's not like I am harming you by being here.'
