Chapter 95 - Transmutation

'Minnie-ah, whenever I meet you, the first thing I'll make sure to do it strangle that neck of yours.'

Minnie gave no reply.

"Minhyun-ah, since I don't want to die or go into a coma, is it possible for me to not go through trans.m.u.tation?" Soohyun questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

"No, trans.m.u.tation is necessary, and since we will be going to a war soon, it is better for you to trans.m.u.te as fast as possible," Minhyun said.

"I think I'll be fine without trans.m.u.tation. Dying later is better than dying before," Soohyun pleaded.

"If you train properly, you will not die," Minhyun countered.

"Two percent— there is only a two percent chance for me to open my eyes, and that's what you say. I am an ordinary person and not someone who gets lucky. So, therefore, Minhyun, I don't think I'll be able to take the risk," Soohyun said.

"Lee Soohyun, when it comes to you, there are greater chances of you to die. The fact that you possessed this body shows that you are special and can create a miracle. Now, if you can not get that through your thick head, then so be it. You can not trans.m.u.tate and live like a coward until that long," Minhyun said whilst shrugging his shoulders.

"Han Minhyun, you're calling me a coward? I think that the fact that I haven't fainted after experiencing Junghyun's actions shows I am brave enough. Look, although you're right from your own point, this is beyond what I have ever imagined," Soohyun said— her voice holding a hint of maturity and seriousness.

"This is your fate, and not even I can change it or help you accept it. You need to do it on your own. You actions will affect multiples of people," Minhyun voiced out.

"Is that so? Then, fate chose the wrong person since I am known to be quite selfish," Soohyun voiced out whilst looking towards the window.

Soohyun then added, "I tend to put my safety and interest before others."

Han Minhyun said, "You can choose to be selfish and live the life you wish for until you die here as well. I won't be forcing you into anything."

The car drove into the parking lot of the Yong Group's building. 

A smile formed on Soohyun's face, and she stated, "Judging by how you usually are, I thought you'd be more forceful."

"I don't prevent people from suiciding," Minhyun retorted.

"Suicide?" Lee Soohyun chuckled.

"Isn't going through the trans.m.u.tation process considered suicide as well?" Soohyun questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

Entering into the parking s.p.a.ce, Han Minhyun stopped his car, and turning to face Lee Soohyun, he spoke out, "No, because you won't be dying."

Under the dim light, Lee Soohyun found Han Minhyun's face looking attractive, and her heart started to beat rapidly in her chest. Han Minhyun's words made Soohyun's lips curve into a smile, and the tone he used built up confidence within her. 

Facing the door, Han Minhyun opened it and got out of the car. Following Minhyun, Lee Soohyun pushed open her door, and getting out, she closed the door behind her.

Rushing towards Han Minhyun, Soohyun asked, "Is that so? Do you have that much confidence in me?"

"No, nothing like that," Minhyun said, "I have confidence in my abilities."

"Wouldn't you be weakened if I die though?" Lee Soohyun questioned, "So, isn't this risky for you as well?"

"At times, risk is required to be taken. Since it is an adults' playground, kids like you won't be able to understand," Han Minhyun voiced out.

Clutching on to Han Minhyun's hand, Soohyun said, "Han Minhyun, I am your Noona, so show me respect. Just because Moon Jiwoo is younger than you doesn't mean I am."

"Noona?" Han Minhyun questioned, "What is your age in the first place?"

Although Soohyun had read in the novel that Minhyun was in his thirties, Soohyun suspected that Minhyun would be around the same age as Junghyun and answered, "Forty six— That's what my age is."

Lee Soohyun pulled out a wide smile and spoke out, "Older than you, right?"

"Liar," Minhyun commented as they walked into the building.

"What are you talking about, Minhyun? Why will I be lying about my age?" Soohyun questioned whilst feigning ignorance. 

Watching their boss walk in with Moon Jiwoo, the employees were shocked, and the light-hearted expression that sat on his face astounded them further. A huge smile sat on Moon Jiwoo's face, and to outsiders, they looked like a lovely couple.

"Lee Soohyun, you seem to be forgetting that I can sense your emotions," Han Minhyun whispered.

"That wouldn't keep me from trying. You never know when you miscalculate my emotions," Lee Soohyun said whilst shrugging her shoulders.

Pressing the b.u.t.ton of the elevator, Han Minhyun waited for it to open. When the door to the elevator opened, Minhyun stepped into it with Lee Soohyun following behind him.

"Honestly, I am thirty two," Soohyun voiced out.

"What about you— in the forties or fifties?" Lee Soohyun questioned.

"Keep guessing," Han Minhyun answered.

"Heol! Han Minhyun, you're really no fun. I told you my age while you're hiding it. This is not fair," Soohyun voiced out.

"Ask your source then," Minhyun vocalised.

Minhyun then added, "What is your decision then? Would you go through the training?"

"Wow! You're impatient. Give me at least twenty four hours to think about it. After all, this decision affects the rest of my life," Soohyun voiced out.

The door to the elevator opened, and Han Minhyun walked out of it gracefully. Soohyun rushed after him in order to match up with his long strides.

"Your time starts now then," Minhyun voiced out after glancing at his watch.

Walking up to the door that led to his office, Han Minhyun turned the k.n.o.b to open the door, and turning to her left, Soohyun saw Seo Jihyun sitting at his desk. Seeing that Minhyun had arrived, Jihyun stood up and bowed at him.

"Good morning, boss."

Wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun turned towards Seo Jihyun and voiced out, "Long time no see Jihyun-ssi. How are you doing?"

Before Soohyun could hear Jihyun's reply, she found herself being dragged into the office by her hand, and a pout formed on Lee Soohyun's face. The door closed behind Lee Soohyun, and Han Minhyun released his grip on Soohyun's hand.

Watching Minhyun walk towards his desk, a smirk formed on Soohyun's lips, and she asked, "Minhyun-ah, are you jealous again?"
