Chapter 109 - Makes Me Glad

"Seeing you being awake at this time makes me glad, Lee Soohyun."

Hearing the sudden voice surprised Soohyun, and turning back, Soohyun saw Han Minhyun standing there. Soohyun still did not get used to the teleportation.

"Minhyun-ah, I swear I will be getting a heart attack sooner or later if you keep appearing like this," Soohyun voiced out.

"You don't seem to be the type to die from such a trivial thing," Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun had finished eating her noodles at this moment, and Junghyun ate his completely few minutes earlier hurriedly in order to watch his drama. Now that Soohyun was done eating, she felt sleepy. 

Lee Soohyun shrugged her shoulders and said, "You never know."

"Now that you're done eating, you have training to do," Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened in shock, and letting out a yawn, she said, "At this time? Minhyun-ah, I have sleep to catch up on, and, uhm, my hand...Ah! Yes, my elbow has not healed yet."

"Try moving your hand around," Minhyun ordered.

Nodding, Soohyun did as Minhyun had ordered her to do, and only a slight pain— which could be considered negligible— went through her arm. 

Pulling on a pained expression on her face, Soohyun said, "Ah! This hurts. This really hurts way too much."

"You can sleep after your session. Now, get up quickly."

Lee Soohyun scrunched up her nose and said, "I know you can sense my emotions. Can't you just play along with me?"

"I am not a kid," Minhyun said.

"Heol! A kid? Wow! Honestly, I am not even surprised. But, Han Minhyun, this is not being a kid; this is a method to destress oneself. You really need to practice this," Soohyun voiced out.

Minhyun said, "I can only blame my fate for a.s.signing you to me."

"Are you copying me, Han Minhyun?" Soohyun asked.

Soohyun then added, "I daily blame my fate as well for ending up with such a difficult man like you."

Sitting on the bicycle, Lee Soohyun gripped the handles. Soohyun was used to riding a bicycle in her old life as it was the most convenient form of travel to her. Nonetheless, this was the first time she had sat upon such an expensive bicycle. 

"Are you sure you will be fine without the helmet? Because of a head injury, I do not want you to postpone training at this moment as well," Han Minhyun said.

Wearing a smile on her face, Soohyun confidently vocalised, "Bicycles and I go long back. It wouldn't try to harm me."

Han Minhyun shrugged and voiced out, "Since you don't want them, then fine. However, Lee Soohyun, if you injure yourself, I will make you train with that injury of yours."

Soohyun just chuckled and stated, "So, what are the rules?"

"You have to ride the bicycle whilst following the white line for just two time," Minhyun voiced out while holding out his hand to show the number.

The white circle circled around the mansion, and more than half of the backyard was inside of the white circle. The distance was quite large. Nonetheless, Soohyun had ridden much greater distance in her last life and was confident in her abilities.

"You can start about now," Minhyun said, and Lee Soohyun nodded with a wide smile on her face.

Although Soohyun had confidence in her abilities, Moon Jiwoo's deficiency when it came to stamina was the problem. It was not that difficult for Soohyun to follow the circle once. However, when it came to the second time, Soohyun made one quarter of the way before her thighs burned in pain.

Sweat dripped down Soohyun's face, and her breathing rate increased. Raising her hand, Soohyun wiped away the sweat from her face and continued to go forward. 

"Soohyun, fighting! You can do it," She mumbled to herself whilst staring at determinedly.

After Soohyun had completed more than half of the circle, she was close to giving up. Although the external heat was not much, Soohyun was completely drenched in sweat. 

Her hands were starting to get very weak and close to losing grip on the handle. Her leg muscles throbbed due to pain. Closing her eyes, Lee Soohyun drove the bicycle towards the front. 

The entire time, Han Minhyun kept on watching Lee Soohyun. In his eyes sat an indescribable, deep expression whilst they scanned each one of Soohyun's movements.

A tired smile formed on Soohyun's face when she noticed that only one more step was required. Although her entire body screamed for her to stop, she pressed the pedal and drove the bicycle at the end of the circle.

"I did it!" Soohyun voiced out enthusiastically. Her tone showed how much drained out of energy she was at this moment.

Closing her eyes, Soohyun let out a yawn and loosened her grip on the handle. Before Soohyun could process what was going on, she was scooped by someone. 

Raising her head, Soohyun saw that Minhyun was the one behind it, and a smile formed on her face. Resting her head against his chest, Soohyun felt comfort surrounding her.

"Rest well. You have worked hard."

That's what Lee Soohyun had last heard before drifting into sleep. Those words made Soohyun's heart flutter for a second there and gave her an inexplicable joy.

Opening her eyes wide, Soohyun sat up on the bed, and what bothered her the most at this moment was how she smelled. Scrunching up her nose, Soohyun got down of her bed. Her stomach rumbled due to hunger— something that is happening a lot lately.

"I need to take a bath first," Soohyun mumbled.

"Rest well. You have worked hard."

Han Minhyun's words before she lost consciousness played inside of Soohyun's mind, and her cheeks heated up. Slapping her cheeks to calm them down, Soohyun mumbled, "Why are you turning hotter?"

Lee Soohyun's heart beat faster in her chest while remembering about Minhyun's small sweet acts of caring towards her, and this was something Soohyun did not expect from Minhyun.
