Chapter 371 - Pay for this

"Silly, what the hell are you saying? We already have lost a lot of time in the past, and I have a lot to say to you, Eunwoo. You can't be leaving me, Listen to me, Eunwoo; please don't give up, please," Han Minhyun stated, hugging Ahn Eunwoo tightly.

"Hyung, you know, I-I a-am s-sad that I h-have t-to g-go a-away t-this s-soon. All these years, both of us have separated from each other, and when I got to know the truth, I was looking forward to saying lots of things to you. But it seems that the fate is not by our side. This is unfortunate, right, Hyung? I am sorry, but this is painful. This is where I have to give you. I love you, Hyung," Ahn Eunwoo stated as his voice got weaker in the end.

Coughs continued to leave his mouth before everything turned silent; there were no words from Ahn Eunwoo anymore.

Han Minhyun's eyes widened and gripping on to Eunwoo's shoulder, he pulled away Eunwoo's body away from him. Staring into Eunwoo's eyes, he attempted to shake Eunwoo's body.

"Hey! Hey! Ahn Eunwoo! Wake up! Open your eyes! Didn't you say that you have lots of things to say to me! We were separated for this long! Now, this is unfair! You can not be leaving me so soon. Eunwoo, please hang on. Hyung will make sure you are fine."

Seeing how Han Minhyun was breaking down by holding on to Ahn Eunwoo's body, Lee Soohyun found herself being completely frozen. She was umable to move a finger of hers.

Only an hour ago, she felt that the victory was really close to them seeing how everything was turning out to be yet within such a short period of time, everything turned out to be devasting.

Lee Soohyun could only imagine how hurt Han Minhyun was feeling in that moment. Misunderstandings separated them for a long period of time, and when they got to meet each other again, they barely got to spend time with each other before fate decided to separate them.

Seeing the pained expression on Han Minhyun's face and how he was holding on to Eunwoo's body gave Lee Soohyun's heart a tight squeeze. She wanted to be there for him and engulf him into a hug. 

However, she was not able to do so. There was barrier between her and Minhyun at that moment, and she knew that she would not be able to get past that now.

Minhyun might need to hold on to Eunwoo like that before his heart could grow to become calm.

Turning her head, Lee Soohyun looked at Oh Jaeho and directed a glare at him. Due to him, everything had turned out to be like this.

As if noticing her stare, he spoke out, "Staring like this would not be doing any harm to me. Han Minhyun would not have to suffer from this and would have been perfectly fine. That's why, meddlesome person deserve the worst fate."

"What are you trying to do? Justify your actions with those words," she said, "I guess this opened up my eyes to how cruel people be. Just because you have killed him, doesn't imply that you will be the last one standing at here. It is too soon to say who will be having the last laugh."

"Aigoo! My dear daughter, you are really interesting. If we were born in a different world with a different storyline, I really would have favoured you. Too bad, the fate did not want that happening between us," he stated.

"I beg to differ," she voiced out, "Rather than a father like you, I would choose to be fatherless. Honestly, I honestly judge those people who would want to have a coward like you as a father."

"You are associating the word coward with me? That's funny. I thought that people needed a lot of courage before rebelling," he spoke out.

"You are a smart coward. That's why, you only decided to act out when the situation was in your favour, and if you were not so, you would have defended yourself early. You did not lack in strength. It is merely your cowardice that caused you to get bullied," Lee Soohyun pointed.

She then added, "You are a coward who did not even have the courage to acknowledge his own daughter. You are disgusting."

Instead of appearing offended by his words, Oh Jaeho chuckled and said, "You are really nothing like your mother and continue to astonish me. Too bad, we would never be able to talk peacefully over a cup of coffee. I believe that we would have had a great time together."

"Repeating all those words over and over again, are you attempting to show how regretful you are or could it be that you leave sweet words to a person before finishing them off?" she questioned, raising one of her eyebrows.

Before Oh Jaeho was able to give a reply to those words of Soohyun, Han Minhyun found his fighting spirit recovering, and gently, placing Ahn Eunwoo down on the ground, he stood up.

With the blood staining his entire clothing, he appeared to be entirely menacing, and even Lee Soohyun warily stared at him.

She wanted to approach him and question on how he was. But she was aware that would not be the perfect time to do so. The only thing that went around Han Minhyun's mind in that moment was revenge, and it would not turn out good if she had interrupted him.

This could turn out to be a double edged sword for Han Minhyun though. Now, he had enough drive and enthusiasm to defeat Oh Jaeho, but this could cause him to take reckless decisions as well.

"Oh Jaeho, you are going to really pay this time around."
