Chapter 365 - Be at the opposite side

Stretching her arms, Lee Soohyun sat up on the couch, and her body felt completely energized. All the events about what had happened flood inside of her mind.

Removing the blanket off of her, she looked around the room and saw no signs of anyone being inside of it.

The tiredness from her muscles were washed off, and feeling refreshed, she stood up on the floor, wondering about where the rest possibly could be at.

Her eyes fell on the mirror that was attached to the wall of Yejoon's room, and she walked at that direction in order to take in her appearance.

Although Lee Soohyun was not much of a clean freak, the image of her in the mirror was able to disgust her. Dry blood was all over her face and clothing, and she had the instant d.e.s.i.r.e to get off of them.

Turning her back on the mirror, her eyes fell on the folded piece of clothing on top of the bed, and assuming this to be kept for her, a small smile formed on her face.

"This is perfect," she mumbled, "I will be taking a small shower before going out and seeing what happened."

Lee Soohyun did not worry about Han Minhyun for she had an inkling that Minhyun was completely fine, and she believed in that feeling within her.

Picking up those piece of garment, she was about to walk towards the washroom when a sharp pain penetrated through her head. The surroundings around her went blurry for a moment, and raising her hand, she planted her palm against the wall, attempting to stabilize herself.

Red flashed in her eyes for a second before a gasp escaped from her mouth, and breathing was starting to become difficult for her. These all lasted for couple of seconds before Soohyun was restored back to her original state.

Feeling that the dizziness had gone away, she stood up straight and blinked her eyes multiple times. 

She then muttered, "This must be after effects of it. Ah! This is horrible, feels as if my head has been cracked open."

"Hyung, the feral army is already here; they came through Oh Jaeho's portal. I was not fast enough to prevent that," Yejoon voiced out while he ran towards Minhyun.

"That's alright. I have already expected that," Minhyun spoke out, "How many of our people have been prepared for fighting?"

"Around one thousand and five hundred," Yejoon answered, "Many of them were reluctant to join this and are currently in the hiding. At this moment, we were only able to collect this many. Due to this being sudden, they were not all that trained either."

Standing up from him chair, a murderous glint passed through Han Minhyun's eyes while he spoke out, "No, that's a big number. This just means that there are more for me to kill. It has been a long time since I have gone into such a big war. This gives me thrills."

Han Minhyun chuckled.

"Yes, Hyung, let's do this right," Yejoon vocalised, "Although this is my first time, I am excited to show all of my skills in that battlefield. But it seems that none of the Leaders will be joining, and as for their people, they are lending barely half of them. Those cowards are really annoying. They don't want to face this head on."

"Don't think about these measly matters," Minhyun said, "Make sure that all those who are not participating are protected properly, and as for those who were capable yet did not join, I will be taking care of them properly later on. Too bad, that there is no time in my hand now to deal with them."

Hwang Yejoon nodded and hesitantly said, "What about Oh Jihoon then? Is he on our side or his father? Should he be trusted?"

"You are talking about me," a voice spoke out.

Turning his head at the sound of that, Yejoon noticed that Oh Jihoon was stepping into the room with a smile on his face.

Staring at Oh Jihoon with a serious expression on his face, Minhyun asked, "What would you prefer to do, Oh Jihoon— side with us or your father?"

"My Dear father is not someone I would want to go against, and this Clan is too precious for me to betray," Jihoon spoke out, "In other words, I will be doing nothing, but watching. I am not supporting any of the sides; for this, I choose to be the fence sitter."

His words managed to successfully anger Hwang Yejoon, and clenching his hand into a tight fist, Yejoon vocalised, "Is that really what you are going to choose now? You are just like your—"

Before Hwang Yejoon was able to continue further, Minhyun placed his palm on top of his shoulder in order to stop him from speaking further.

Staring at Jihoon sternly, Minhyun spoke out, "You better remember those words of yours, Jihoon, or else I would not hesitate to kill you off. The only reason I am letting you off is because of how diligently you taught Moon Jiwoo."

Oh Jihoon gave no reply to those words of Minhyun, and Han Minhyun walked out of the room. Hwang Yejoon followed after him.

"Hyung, do you really think that he would not be betraying us?" Yejoon questioned.

Minhyun then voiced out, "If he does that, I suppose we can just finish him off. That would not be that difficult for us."

"This is shocking though," Yejoon spoke out, "The entire thing is so astonishing. We grew up with each other yet I never imagined him to be at an opposite side to us."

Han Minhyun then replied, "Well, this can't be helped."
