Chapter 100 - Starved You

Lee Soohyun barely had a drop of energy to get up from the bed. Her body felt sore all over, and Soohyun recalled falling asleep in the bath.

Realizing that she was dressed, Soohyun deduced that Han Minhyun was the one who did it.

Opening her eyes, a smile formed on Soohyun's face— either Han Minhyun was not that cold as Lee Soohyun had thought or he was starting to warm up to her.

Lee Soohyun turned towards the direction of the clock whilst wincing at the pain that went through her back and noticed that it was two in the afternoon. 

'Could it be that Han Minhyun went to the office without taking me along!? That can't be! I don't want to stay in the same mansion as Kim Junghyun whilst being unprotected.'

Hissing at the pain which went through her entire body, Lee Soohyun attempted to sit up, and when she managed to sit, Soohyun leaned her back against the headboard. Seeing how her legs were still weak, Soohyun knew that she will not be able to get off the bed.

Hearing the knocks on the door, Soohyun raised her head to look at it and weakly voiced out, "You may enter in."

The door to the room opened, and the butler, Shin Woojin, stepped into the room. Bowing politely in front of Soohyun, the butler spoke out, "Mistress, would you prefer to have your meal on the bed?"

A smile formed on Lee Soohyun's face as she stated, "On the bed?"

Finishing her meal, Lee Soohyun felt satisfied. The food was extremely delicious, and watching the Butler carry out the empty bowls, Lee Soohyun voiced out, "Thank you, Butler Shin."

Realizing the name Lee Soohyun had spoken out, Soohyun's eyes widened, and before she could ask Shin Woojin her question, he had already disappeared.

"Isn't Shin Woojin a member from the Red Clan? His surname was not there in the book though," Soohyun mumbled to herself.

Shrugging her shoulders, Lee Soohyun winced as she felt the pain go through them. Moving her hand towards the nightstand, Soohyun took her phone, and her eyes widened in astonishment when she saw hundred missed calls from Moon Jimin.

"Heol! This Moon Jimin is totally obsessed with me," Soohyun mumbled to herself.

Moon Jimin called her multiple number of times yesterday. However, as she was in Han Minhyun's office, Soohyun did not think it would be a good idea to pick it up. Moreover, this could give Han Minhyun more ideas on how to insult her.

Her phone rang, and hearing the music, Soohyun looked at the screen of her phone. There was an incoming call from Moon Jimin, and seeing that, Lee Soohyun let out a sigh. 

Receiving the call, Lee Soohyun placed the phone closer to her ear, and before Moon Jimin could say anything, Soohyun, in a weak tone, spoke out, "Unnie, I am really sorry for not appearing that day and informing you about it beforehand. I really wanted to come there but-but..."

Lee Soohyun began to sob.

'Han Minhyun, I will be making you the bad guy for my plan to succeed. You're already a bad guy in other's eyes so this much will not matter.'

"What is the matter, Lee Soohyun? Are you crying?" Moon Jimin questioned— her voice showing concern.

"That day— I really wanted to come, but, Han Minhyun, he did not let me. He grew extremely angry when he found out that I would be meeting Eunwoo Oppa and ended up locking me in a bedroom. He even took my phone and starved me for a day.

H-He also t-threatened m-me o-on h-how he will be beating me up and killing Eunwoo Oppa," Soohyun said before starting to cry loudly— loud enough for Moon Jimin to hear.

A smirk formed on Lee Soohyun's face after those words left her mouth, and she waited for Moon Jimin's reply. Will Moon Jimin still try to instigate her and endanger Ahn Eunwoo's life potentially?

"What are you talking about, Jiwoo-ah?" Moon Jimin questioned— her voice filled with worry.

"I am saying the truth, Unnie. Han Minhyun's eyes— They were really scary and bone-chilling. I don't think I have the courage to go against his words and endanger Eunwoo Oppa's life. 

Han Minhyun is a really powerful man, and for him, doing this will not be impossible. Unnie, I think I need to give up on Eunwoo Oppa since I do not want him to die. His death is the only thing I cannot bear," Lee Soohyun spoke out— her tone sounding genuine and despondent to one's ears.

"Oh! Jiwoo-ah, what have you gotten yourself into? Since Han Minhyun threatened to beat you up, it is better for you to stay there, and I couldn't care less about Eunwoo. You matter the most to me, and, for your safety, you better be obedient to Han Minhyun," Moon Jimin said.

'You're smart, Moon Jimin. I have got to say that. No wonder you were the main villainess. However, I have the advantage here with my knowledge and experience.' 

Lee Soohyun sobbed and said, "Unnie, you're the only one who truly cares for me. Then, I will be listening to your words and be subservient to Han Minhyun."

"Do that then, Jiwoo. About Ahn Eunwoo, let him just be with Oh Chaeyoung although Chaeyoung clearly was the one who stole him away from you by using underhanded methods," Jimin stated.

"Thinking about Chaeyoung still infuriates me, Unnie. If it is not me, Eunwoo Oppa should get someone as gentle, beautiful, and smart as you, Unnie. Both of you might look like a perfect couple," Soohyun vocalised.

"What are you talking about, Jiwoo? Eunwoo is younger than me, and I have never thought of him in that way," Moon Jimin spoke out softly, and her voice sounded shy.

"Unnie, I am being honest. You will be a better choice than that gold-digger Chaeyoung, and since I could not get Eunwoo, you will be the best person for him. Looking at the qualifications both of you have, you'll be perfect together," Soohyun spoke out.

"What are you talking about, Silly Girl? I will be hanging up now. I have work now," Moon Jiwoo said.

"Hmm, take care, Unnie, and let me know if there I any progress between you and Eunwoo Oppa," Lee Soohyun spoke out before hanging up the call.

Before Lee Soohyun laughed joyfully, Soohyun heard a voice which made Soohyun freeze.

"Locked you in a room? Starved you? Took your phone? Beat you up? Kill Ahn Eunwoo?"
