Chapter 96 - A Funny Word

Sitting down on his chair, Han Minhyun raised his head to look at Lee Soohyun and vocalised, "Jealous? That's a funny word! Of what though?"

"Isn't that why you pulled into your office hurriedly?" Lee Soohyun questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

Stepping towards the couch, Lee Soohyun sat down upon it, and a mischievous smile played on Soohyun's face. A sneer formed on Han Minhyun's face.

"Don't you think too highly of yourself?" Minhyun questioned.

Minhyun then added, "It is just as I have said before. I do not want my a.s.sistant to be creeped out and then run away."

"Hmm, I'll pretend to believe that," Soohyun said as she took out her phone.

Han Minhyun made no reply and concentrated on the doc.u.ments on his desk. Switching her phone on, Lee Soohyun looked through it, trying to search for something interesting.

Growing bored from her phone, Lee Soohyun looked up, and turning towards Han Minhyun, she questioned, "Han Minhyun, who are the current Leaders?"

Han Minhyun gave no reply to her question and continued to go through the doc.u.ments. Let Soohyun let out a sigh, and standing up, Soohyun walked towards Han Minhyun. Standing behind Han Minhyun, she propped her chin on his shoulder to look through the doc.u.ments.

Closing the file, Han Minhyun turned his head towards hersand questioned, "What are you doing?"

Moving back, Soohyun shrugged her shoulders and said, "Trying to see what is so interesting about these papers that you're ignoring me."

"Lee Soohyun, don't play around," Minhyun spoke out.

"Then, do you have any books— ones which will inform me more about you and your kind?" Lee Soohyun questioned— her eyes sparkling.

"Why didn't you bring that book, Lee Soohyun?" Han Minhyun questioned whilst turning his head to look back at her.

"Well, I did not think I would be this bored," Soohyun voiced out whilst forcing out an innocent smile on her face.

With one last glance towards Soohyun, Han Minhyun opened his drawer and took out a book. Leaning over, Soohyun saw the book Han Minhyun was holding. The cover was different from the other one but as long as it had the information needed, it would work for Soohyun.

"Here, and if you annoy me again, I a.s.sure you that I'll be tying you up," Han Minhyun threatened whilst placing the book on his table.

Lee Soohyun bowed and said, "You got it, Boss. As long as I don't complete this book, I will not be annoying you."

Saying that, Soohyun bent her back to place a kiss on Han Minhyun's cheek, but Han Minhyun placed his hand on her lips to stop her. Moving her head back, Lee Soohyun's lips formed into a pout. Noticing Han Minhyun's piercing and bone-chilling gaze, Soohyun immediately rushed towards the couch.

Sitting down on the couch, Soohyun flipped the pages on the book until she found the topic that would answer her questions from earlier. When Soohyun had found it, a smile formed on her face.

Soohyun mumbled, "The current King and Leaders of Red Clan."

Seeing that Han Minhyun was here, Soohyun did not think it would be a good idea for her to read it all out loud and disturb him. Therefore, Soohyun read the contents of the book mentally.

'The current King of Red Clan, Kim Namhyuk, came in possession of the throne in the year 2001, and the Leaders— Han Sungmin, Kim Taeseok, Hw.a.n.g Minjae, Oh Jaeho, Seo Taemin, and Lee Hyunki— had gained their positions in different times ranging from the year 1997 to 2010.'

Around a round table, six middle-aged males were seated. A serious atmosphere surrounded the room, and one of the men tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly.

The serious faced middle-aged man stopped tapping his fingers on the table and asked, "Where is Hw.a.n.g Minjae?"

Another man, who wore a relaxed expression, leaned back against his chair and voiced out, "Probably hanging out with one of his prost.i.tutes whilst being drunk."

That is when the door to the room opened, and a laidback and sloppy man stepped in. The stench of alcohol wafted across the room, and some of the men present there scrunched up their noses at that.

"Hyungnim, did you drink again?" The one who looked to be the youngest of them asked.

Hw.a.n.g Minjae turned towards the one who asked him the question, and wearing a wide smile on his face, Minjae spoke out, "Oh Jaeho, alcohol is the joy of life."

Closing the door behind him, Minjae stepped towards the table, and pulling back the empty chair, Minjae sat down upon it. The one who sat on his right had arrogance on his face.

"Hw.a.n.g Minjae, you stink! You should have taken a shower before coming here, You Sleazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" He exclaimed.

Moving further to his right, Minjae brought his body closer to the male and voiced out, "Really? Smell me more, Kim Taeseok. This is the scent of a Real Man."

Extending his hand, Kim Taeseok pushed Hw.a.n.g Minjae away from him and said, "Keep a distance from me, You Disgusting b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You, who indulges himself in women and drinking only, have no idea on what it takes to be a real man."

Kim Taeseok scoffed.

The man who wore a relaxed expression laughed at that. Kim Taeseok shot him a glance and voiced out, "What are you laughing at, Lee Hyunki?"

Lee Hyunki shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Turning towards the middle aged man— who had seriousness all over his face— the man with a neutral expression asked, "Your Majesty, why did you gather all of us today?"

"Han Sungmin— straight to the point, as always," One of the men who wore a mischievous expression voiced out.

Han Sungmin whipped his head towards the direction of the voice and vocalised, "I don't have as much time to waste as you do, Seo Taemin."

"Everyone, quieten down!" The King, Kim Namhyuk, ordered. 

His domineering and loud voice was enough to make silence spread over the room, and each of them sat up straight. Turning towards their King, the Leaders of the Red Clan waited for him to start speaking.
