Chapter 374 - At a little cost

Seeing the sword drive through his c.h.e.s.t caused satisfaction to spread through Lee Soohyun although she was surprised by it. 

Although it was disappointing that she did not get the chance to finish him off, it did not matter to her that much. As long as she got to see that man not breathing, she would be content with the result.

Caught by shock due to what had happened, Oh Jaeho turned his back to see his murderer. Smiling at him was his own son, Oh Jihoon.

"Father, you have played around for a long time. Now, it is finally time for you to go at a deep rest," Jihoon spoke out.

Although Oh Jaeho's son did not help him that much with this, he did not see his son interfering with it either. He was aware on how Jihoon wanted to stay on the neutral side with this.

However, seeing how he was the one killing him, Jaeho let out a chuckle. Now that he was being killed by his own son, there was nothing he was able to do but give up to the fate.

"Bye, Father," Oh Jihoon said while Jaeho slowly closed his eyes.

Oh Jaeho's death have been simple. Although he had died, Soohyun still held resentments towards him, and she felt that everything had gone way too easy for him. He had not gone through the suffering and agony he deserved.

His cries would have able to satisfy Lee Soohyun. But there was none of that. Oh Jaeho had submitted to the death too easily, and that was not enough to make up for everything.

"Don't look at me like that. He was my father, and the best I could do is painlessly kill him," Jihoon said, letting go of the sword in his hand.

At that, gravity pulled back Oh Jaeho's body, and his body soon enough touched the snowy field while his heart beats came to a halt. The blood that flowed out from him coloured the entire snow red.

As much as Lee Soohyun wanted to torture his body and destroy it to the point that no one would be able to recognize it, the rational part within her understood that there was no use in her doing so.

He had already passed away, and such things would not be having any affect on him.

Everything was finally over, and Soohyun's eyes had grown to become blank. She did not know what to do or how to live anymore.

Her knees had collapsed in that moment, and she fell down on the ground. There was an intense pain within her c.h.e.s.t, and gradually, she found herself growing numb to it.

Never did she imagine that the death of one person would be able to cause this much pain to her to the point that she would want to die herself.

Maybe that was what Lee Soohyun should do. She should try to kill herself, so that she would be able to free herself.

Probably, after killing herself, she would be able to find out on how all of this was merely a dream, and she was at her previous world, worrying about being late to her office.

About that setting, Lee Soohyun found herself having mixed feelings. That would be showing that Han Minhyun was not real, and that was not what Soohyun wanted.

Lee Soohyun wanted to cry out in agony in that moment, but she found herself unable to do so. Maybe because of how unreal everything seemed to.

With all of these conflicting thoughts within her mind, maybe she was losing it all finally. Would she be turning insane after this? Soohyun did not know neither did she care.

Then again, she did not think that she would be ever be able to remain sane after this.

Lee Soohyun heard the footsteps coming at her, but she was not bothered by them neither did she made the effort to look up to see who it was.

Oh Jihoon took the opportunity to sit down beside her in that moment, and watching Han Minhyun's body, he said, "Hyung's dead it seems. Truly a tragic yet expected ending for someone like him."

Oh Jihoon's words irritated Lee Soohyun. She did not know which words of his brought annoyance to her, but she knew that his words brought anger to her.

Maybe instead of his words, it was Oh Jihoon who she hated. Although Jihoon was the one who had killed off Oh Jaeho, Soohyun felt anger towards him for giving Jaeho such a simple death and for being that man's son.

However, there was no strength left within her to yell at him to go away or drive him away. 

"But there is a way to bring him back to life," Jihoon spoke out.

At that moment, Lee Soohyun found the sunlight seeping in through the windows of the dark room she was in, and staring at Oh Jihoon, her eyes were filled with complete hope.

If Oh Jihoon was able to bring him back to life, there was nothing that Soohyun was unwilling to do for it. She would even be giving up her life for the sake of it.

"I can bring him back to life," Jihoon spoke out.

Upon hearing those words from Jihoon, tears streamed down her eyes, and she questioned, "Really?"

Oh Jihoon nodded and spoke out, "Yes, I can bring him with a little cost attached to it. But the only problem is that he will be losing some of his memories."

"If it is possible to bring him back to life, please do it. I don't care whether or not he has his memory. In front of his life, that all doesn't matter," she spoke out.

Jihoon smiled and stated, "The only reason I am doing this is because I want to make up to you for the time that I have changed your results; I was the one who messed with the results and made it seem that you are from the Yellow Clan."

"Then, I am really glad that you have changed the results," she said.
