Chapter 113 - Heartless Indeed

Soohyun yawned as she laid down beside Han Minhyun. The ball game for Soohyun was more difficult today, and she ended up with a couple more scratches. Soohyun's muscles were extremely sore, and turning to face Han Minhyun, she groaned.

"Minhyun-ah, for today's hard work, don't you think I should have a reward? That day you promised me a reward, but I ended up getting injured. Shouldn't you make up for that?" Soohyun vocalised whilst doing an 'aegyo' towards Minhyun.

"What do you want?" Minhyun questioned.

"That was easy," Soohyun mumbled.

"My dad's birthday is coming up, and I want to attend it. So, can I go there along with you?" Soohyun voiced out whilst blinking her eyes multiple times.

"Since I have given you my word, fine," Minhyun said, "Something tells me that you will be stirring up new trouble."

"That's wrong, Minhyun-ah. I don't stir up trouble; It is trouble that follows me. I swear this Moon Jiwoo should have died after solving all of her problems," Soohyun vocalised.

"Go back to sleep now," Minhyun stated, "You have to wake up early tomorrow."

Soohyun nodded before closing her eyes shut. As much as Soohyun wanted to seduce Minhyun, her body lacked the strength to do so. That's when, something hit Lee Soohyun, and her eyes widened.

'I can just tell Minhyun about all of these missions, and since he doesn't want me to die, he will be helping me out in one way or another.'

"No, don't do that," Minnie vocalised, "You can not tell him about the missions. Just go with the flow, and all of these missions will be eventually completed. Just concentrate on seducing Minhyun."

'Why can't I do that?'

"He can allow you to top him and open his mask to show you his face, but about falling in love, do you think he can make that happen at his own will."

'Then, I will tell him about the first two and wait for him to fall for me.'

"The task of getting him to open his mask is to show that he trusts you completely to reveal everything about him. If he just reveals it to you now, he might feel uncomfortable, and it might make it hard for him to love your later on," Minnie countered.

'I guess you have a point there. What about I just tell him about the topping matter?'

"Knowing Han Minhyun, he would allow him to top him at the last few days of the year, and the other two will only happen when you have finally topped him. Do you think a few days is enough to complete those?"

'Well, your words are not that flawed. I will just go with the flow and try my best.'

"Are you talking with that voice in your head?" Han Minhyun questioned.

"Huh?" Soohyun vocalised, "Yes, kind of."

"I still haven't asked you this question. Why did you marry me?" Minhyun vocalised.

Lee Soohyun gulped. She was sort of happy that Han Minhyun did not ask this question before, but now that he did, she did not know how to answer him. 

"Why did you approach me?" Minhyun asked.

"Isn't that because you're the richest and most powerful man? Girls like me prefer guys like you," Soohyun said whilst winking.

"You're a coward," Minhyun accused.

Although Soohyun liked to call herself a coward, it was a different matter when Han Minhyun calls her a liar. Feeling offended by Han Minhyun's words, Soohyun defensively said, "I am not a coward. If I was one, I would have cried or tried to escape from here."

"Crying necessarily doesn't prove whether or not you're a coward, and the reason you did not try to escape has to do with the reason you approached," Minhyun vocalised.

"Han Minhyun-ssi, what is your IQ? Are you actually a genius?" Soohyun asked— her eyes sparkling.

"It doesn't take a genius to figure this part out. Now, since I have answered almost all of your questions, I expect answers from mine as well," Minhyun said.

Raising one of her eyebrows, Soohyun questioned, "What if I don't answer you? I am not a trustworthy person, you know."

"I can then force the answer out of you," Minhyun threatened.

"You can not hurt me physically because that would cause you to weaken," Soohyun stated— a smirk forming upon on her face.

Han Minhyun chuckled, and amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in his eyes. Opening his mouth, Minhyun commented, "You're sly, but unfortunately, you're not smart enough."

Lee Soohyun vocalised, "That's because of Moon Jiwoo's body. Since Moon Jiwoo's IQ is low, I have grown idiotic as well."

"That is quite a lame excuse," Minhyun retorted.

Minhyun then continued, "Depriving you of television, your phone, delicious food, and locking you up in an empty room would be enough."

Lee Soohyun let out a chuckle and confidently stated, "You can not win this time around, Han Minhyun-ssi. Doing all of that above wouldn't be able to extract an answer from me since this concerns my death. My death is one of the last things I would want."

"Maybe I should learn to hypnotize. That would make the work done easily," Minhyun muttered, causing Soohyun's eyes to widen.

Soohyun said, "Waiting for that to happen then. For now, I want to stay alive, so you have to remain clueless."

"You have approached me surely for a reason, and currently, you're in the process of getting that done. I suppose I will have to sharpen my eyes to notice that," Minhyun expressed.

Lee Soohyun let out a nervous laugh and voiced out, "Best of luck with that! Don't worry! I don't want to kill you or harm you in any way. My reasons are quite harmless."

"I don't want to do the mistake of trusting you, Lee Soohyun," Minhyun vocalised.

"Heol! That was harsh!" Soohyun exclaimed.

"Even if you think that way, you shouldn't say your thoughts out loud in such a way. It hurts the heart of fragile people like me," Soohyun continued.

"Perfect then because I wanted to hurt you," Han Minhyun voiced out.

"Heartless indeed," Soohyun mumbled.
