Chapter 101 - Controlling And Dominating

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened, and forcing out a smile with utmost effort, Soohyun questioned, "From when were you here, Minhyun-ah?"

"From the time you began spouting lies about me," Han Minhyun vocalised, "On a second thought, should I turn those lies into truths?"

Lee Soohyun shook her head immediately. She had a nagging feeling that Han Minhyun would truly do it if she had agreed along with him, and immediately put on an apologetic expression. 

Trying to change the topic, Soohyun questioned, "Minhyun-ah, shouldn't you be at the office this moment?"

"No, there is no need for that," Minhyun answered.

Minhyun then added, "Since you're that energetic to lie, I am pretty sure you will be able to exercise as well."

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened in horror, and frantically waving her hands around, she spoke out, "Of course not, Minhyun. I am really tired and do not even have the energy to get up from the bed."

For the dramatic effect, Lee Soohyun cried out in pain. Walking towards Lee Soohyun, Han Minhyun pulled the covers off of her, and feeling the sudden coldness. .h.i.t her, Soohyun shuddered.

"What are you doing, Minhyun?" Soohyun questioned.

To her surprise, Han Minhyun scooped her into his arms, and widening her eyes, Soohyun raised her head to look at Han Minhyun.

"Ice cold baths help after exercising," Han Minhyun explained.

The thought of that made Lee Soohyun shudder, and she immediately shook her head and said, "Minhyun-ah, I don't think I need that. Although my muscles are sore, I will be fine without one, and it was yesterday that I exercised."

"You need to exercise twice as hard as yesterday today," Han Minhyun voiced out, "So, either you get up now or I will be putting you in an ice cold bath to energize you."

"Wouldn't I be catching a cold if that happens and, in the end, there will be a delay to the entire training?" Lee Soohyun questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.

Han Minhyun smirked and said, "You don't need to worry about that, Lee Soohyun, because once you catch a cold, I will be making you exercise thrice as hard once you recover."

That immediately gave Lee Soohyun the energy, and her muscles did not ache that much all of a sudden. Wearing a bright smile on her face, Soohyun said, "I think I am just fine at this moment, Minhyun. You can put me down."

"That's good to know," Han Minhyun voiced out whilst placing Lee Soohyun on the ground. 

Although Lee Soohyun's legs trembled as she stood up and her back burned with pain, Lee Soohyun managed to stabilize herself eventually, and looking at Han Minhyun, Soohyun said, "Will you not be working, Minhyun?"

Han Minhyun nodded, and walking towards the nightstand table on his side of the bed, Minhyun took his folder. Lee Soohyun decided to walk around a little in order to make her muscles feel less tense.

However, after Lee Soohyun took a couple of steps forward, Soohyun felt a sharp pain go through her leg, and losing her balance Soohyun was about to fall down when she felt someone hold her by her waist.

Looking up, Lee Soohyun gave a thankful smile to Han Minhyun. Nonetheless, she found herself being captivated after seeing Han Minhyun's face from this angle, and Soohyun could not take her eyes off his face. This just felt like a scene out of a movie to Soohyun.

"If you dare hurt yourself and give me an excuse to skip training, I swear I will harden your training," Han Minhyun threatened.

The romantic atmosphere that Lee Soohyun created in her mind disappeared in that instant due to Han Minhyun's words, and Soohyun looked at Han Minhyun with displeasure in her eyes.

"Do you think I want to hurt myself purposely?" Soohyun scoffed.

"I am really sincere about this," Soohyun said, putting emphasis on the word 'really'.

"You and your sincerity," Han Minhyun spoke out whilst his lips curved to a mocking smile.

"I swear I am really sincere about this, and if you sense anything off about it, that's just a mistake on your part," Soohyun said while staring at Han Minhyun with fierce eyes.

Leaning his face closer to Lee Soohyun's, Han Minhyun vocalised, "Is that so? Let's see how long it takes for this sincerity of yours to break."

Raising her neck, Lee Soohyun wore a smile on her face and pecked Han Minhyun's lips. Pulling away, Soohyun said, "You are really mean, Minhyun. You're supposed to be my husband. If you do not dote on me, then who will?"

A cheeky smile sat on Lee Soohyun's face.

"Heol! Lee Soohyun, you're really shameless," Han Minhyun voiced out, "But if you wanted to be doted, you should not have married me."

"I would have married a cute boy, but fate has arranged for both of us to be together. So, now I have to deal with you and make compromises," Soohyun retorted.

"Compromises? That sounds funny coming from you," Han Minhyun stated.

Lee Soohyun stood up straight and held Han Minhyun's shoulder. An amused smirk sat on Minhyun's face, and Soohyun slid her hand to hold Minhyun's waist.

However, before Soohyun could do so, her wrist was grabbed by someone, rendering her incapable of gripping his waist, and stepping closer to Han Minhyun, Soohyun said, "Minhyun-ah, why are you holding my hand? Are you nervous that I will be able to take control of you?"

With his other hand, Han Minhyun held Soohyun's waist and pulled her body closer to his. Staring down at Lee Soohyun's eyes, Minhyun said, "It is not that."

Releasing his hold on Soohyun's wrist, Han Minhyun raised Soohyun's chin and planted a kiss on Soohyun's lips. Soohyun felt her cheeks getting heated and her toes curled.

Before Soohyun could deepen the kiss, Han Minhyun pulled away and, in his deep voice, said, "Lee Soohyun, controlling and dominating me is not something you can achieve."

Hearing his words made Lee Soohyun's heart palpitated rapidly, and to her, he looked like a charming man at this moment. Nonetheless, Soohyun was not the one to back away this easily.

"How would you know about it without giving this a try?" Lee Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows.
