Chapter 79 - With My Mind

"What are you talking about? How can I communicate with someone through my mind?" Soohyun questioned whilst forcing out a smile and acting oblivious.

"It's suspicious how you asked about the history of humans," Minhyun explained.

Humans— That was what Han Minhyun deduced the truth from. Soohyun thought of Minhyun and Jihyun as someone who is not human, and it did not make sense for her to ask questions about her own kind. This showed that she knew Minhyun and Jihyun were humans, and wanted to know about how they originated.

"So, you lied previously when you said that you guessed I had supernatural powers?" Minhyun questioned.

Getting caught by Han Minhyun was extremely frightening. Soohyun promised to herself this was going to be the last time she would do so although Soohyun herself wasn't aware of how long she will keep the promise.

Soohyun sighed.

"It wasn't that I wanted to lie to you. Yes, my source told me to ask that question and I communicate with it through my mind. However, my source is scared of you and didn't want for you to know about it. I was afraid that it will hold a grudge against me for that and, therefore, I hid it from you," Soohyun spoke out honestly.

'Yah! Lee Soohyun, are you really sacrificing me like this? Heol! You're evil!'

'After all that you did to me, this is only fair, and if you don't shut up, I'll directly tell him your name.'

Soohyun moved her face closer to Minhyun and pointed to her eyes. Then, she said, "Look at my eyes. Does it look like I'm lying?"

Raising his head, Han Minhyun pushed her head back and said, "You're not afraid that it would hold a grudge against you; You just wanted to use this to your advantage. I didn't expect you to be this sly, Jiwoo."

Soohyun chuckled at that moment and commented, "At times, I wonder whether or not you can actually read minds."

"You are not really good at hiding your emotions," Minhyun pointed out.

"You're the only person to say that. Trust me, my ability to mask my emotions is what I used to earn a living in my last life," Soohyun spoke out.

"You must have been really poor in your last life then," Minhyun retorted.

Soohyun coughed. Curiosity was eating Soohyun up, and therefore, she did not want to waste time on useless bantering. 

"The answer to that question?" Soohyun reminded.

Before Han Minhyun could answer, Lee Soohyun's stomach grumbled, and Soohyun's cheeks turned red. Why did this stomach of hers have to growl at this critical moment? She was about to get the answers she was antic.i.p.ating for the most!

Glancing at the watch that sat upon his wrist, Han Minhyun voiced out, "It's around one in the morning. You must be hungry."

As Han Minhyun was about to get up from the bed, Soohyun tightly held his arm and spoke out, "I can eat later. Can I get the answers first?"

Removing Soohyun's hand from around his arm, Han Minhyun curved his lips up and expressed, "I don't care about when you eat. I want to eat at this moment."

Soohyun sighed as she watched Minhyun walk towards the door. His tongue was indeed poisonous. Even if he did not care, would it hurt for him to pretend to care?

"One thing I can tell you is that my senses are extremely sharp, so I can easily feel if someone is glaring at me," Minhyun spoke out.

"It's not you whom I'm glaring at; It's at my source for making me marry you," Soohyun countered. The words left her mouth before she could control her tongue.

Turning back, Minhyun vocalised, "You don't seem to be that scared of me anymore. Should I do something to fix that?"

"You won't hurt me," Soohyun said, "You played along with me at this moment when you could get the answers from me forcefully."

"Was this something your source informed you about?" Han Minhyun's lips curved to a smirk.

"Not exactly," Soohyun replied, "Just a feeling."

"Moon Jiwoo, I have ways of torturing you, and those are different from the ones I use on my enemies. Do you recall about the time I made you write pages on how you were a nutcase?"

That was enough to make Lee Soohyun shut up. What if Han Minhyun made write her hundred pages of something or make her to something similar to that? Even if Minhyun wouldn't beat her up or inject her with weird chemicals in order to make her suffer, he had his other ways for her. 

"You win," Soohyun mumbled.

"If you are hungry for food, wash up and get down for lunch within five minutes. If you're late, forget about food," Minhyun said.

Minhyun was not lying when he said that he had ways to make her suffer. How was she supposed to wash up in five minutes and come down? The man in front of her definitely held a grudge against her.

"Hubby, can't you go lenient on me? You know it's not possible for me to do this in five minutes," Soohyun voiced out whilst blinking her eyes multiple times and trying to appear cute.

She then added, "Hubby, I know how good you're to me and just tease me at times. But can you not—"

"Are you back to acting that disgusting again? What makes you even think this will work on me, Moon Jiwoo?"

An impa.s.sive expression sat on Han Minhyun's face.

"I wanted to give this a shot. Fake or not, everyone likes praises," Soohyun expressed.

"Honestly, Moon Jiwoo, I prefer this side of yours better."

With a dark glint appearing in his eyes, he said, "The other side of you cried too easily and made me annoyed. Making this side of you cry seems to be more difficult, and it will give me extreme pleasure when I finally make you cry genuinely."

Soohyun gave out a sweet smile.

"You're making a wrong a.s.sumption there. I can cry at any time you want me to no matter which face I'm wearing as long as I'm able to get anything in return. In fact, my tears are cheap," Soohyun expressed.

"Quite fluent, I see," Minhyun voiced out, "You failed to notice something. I said that I will make you cry genuinely."

"Good luck with that then because even I don't know when I cry genuinely," Soohyun stated.

"Four minutes. That's how long you have now," Minhyun voiced out before turning his back and walking out of the room.

Soohyun's eyes widened as she heard that. She immediately got off the bed and ran towards the direction of the bathroom. Han Minhyun most definitely wasn't lying when he said that he had other ways to make her suffer.

"He's truly a s.a.d.i.s.tic jerk! What did I do to him?" Soohyun mumbled as she pushed the door to the bathroom open.
