Chapter 195 - As You Potray Me

Raising one of her eyebrows, Soohyun decided to question about her previous prime source of concern and asked, "What about Junghyun's matter? Aren't you going to scold me about it?"

"Didn't you say you were forced to do it?" Minhyun pointed out.

Lee Soohyun nodded and said, "I did say that, but you're really going to believe that and not punish me. Well, according to Minnie, it was the fate's fault, but if I hadn't gone exploring in the first place, this wouldn't have happened."

Minhyun shrugged his shoulders and vocalised, "I have expected this from you, and if you're truly a Yellow Clan's member, you wouldn't have been able to go there."

"That's all you're going to say. I prepared myself mentally for it hours, and this was nerve-wracking. Heol!" Soohyun pointed.

Lee Soohyun had created possibly a very big mess for Han Minhyun, and seeing him so indifferent to her about it did not make her feel good; It made her feel guilty.

Last time as well, Minhyun spared her without scolding her properly, and the lenient side of his is making her go soft on him. As far as she knew Han Minhyun, scolding was normal.

"You want me to punish you?" An amused look appeared in Minhyun's face.

Although what Soohyun replied with might seem foolish, she nodded and said, "I need you to do that or else I will be driven crazy by guilt. I don't even understand why I am feeling this guilt when you clearly mentioned on it is okay. 

I really, really, really was not like this before, so maybe this is Jiwoo's body's fault. But after you punish me, I will begin to curse at you mentally, and this will stop. If not, I will think of you as a good man, and my att.i.tude towards good men is different."

Lee Soohyun's words made Han Minhyun let out a laugh as he vocalised, "Then, feel guilt, Soohyun-ah. Making you feel guilty for your entire life does not seem like a bad idea."

Soohyun scoffed and said, "You're really heartless at times. Tch! Your s.a.d.i.s.tic side will make others forget about your sweet side."

Lee Soohyun's words made Han Minhyun's look curve upwards, and noticing that on Minhyun's face made her smile widely. Minhyun's smile was really contagious to Soohyun.

"Get dressed for training now, and head down," Minhyun vocalised, "You might be punished if you are inefficient in doing so."

Sticking her tongue out towards Han Minhyun, Soohyun cheekily said, "Since you have started to like me, you wouldn't be able to do that anymore."

Lee Soohyun half expected for Han Minhyun to mock her for those words by probably saying how she was delusional or something similar. 

Nonetheless, it was a surprise to her when he extended his hand towards her, and placing it upon the top of her head, he patted it softly.

"Now that you know about it, I hope you can work hard and not make me disappointed for liking you," Minhyun vocalised.

A chuckle left Lee Soohyun's mouth at Minhyun's words, and she immediately backed away from him. An amused look sat on her face whilst she stared at him.

"What's with that? Wow! Han Minhyun, you're really good at pressuring others," Soohyun said, "Anyway, I'll make sure to not disappoint you, Minhyun, and now that you have started liking me, I will make sure you don't fall out of it."

"Yes, I am looking forward to it," Minhyun said.

"One more thing before I go, if I belong to the Red Clan, why didn't Moon Jiwoo show the special characteristics?" Lee Soohyun questioned.

She then continued, "Craving for blood— that should be there as well, but I never had the desire to drink blood. I don't think Moon Jiwoo did either. Something in this doesn't add up, and I can't even stay in the cold temperature without shivering."

"Even you feel really cold at low temperature, you did not catch anything close to a cold," Minhyun said, "The entire thing is messed up, and unless or until a proper test is done, we wouldn't be getting the proper answers."

Lee Soohyun let out a sigh and nodded.

"In the meanwhile, it is better for you to not think about this matters. I will handle this alone, so better focus on your training and do not get distracted," Minhyun said.

Extending his hand towards her, he held her palm and squeezed it softly before saying, "Just forget about it, and I'll handle this. Don't worry; I won't let anything happen to you. 

About Junghyun's matter, you don't need to feel guilty. His original power has not been restored, and with his current capabilities, he wouldn't be able to cause a mess."

Hearing his words made Lee Soohyun made her blink her eyes multiple times in confusion, and she then said, "You're really changing Han Minhyun from a man a girl wouldn't want as her husband to a best candidate to whom a girl want to get married to."

At some point, Soohyun felt pity for Minhyun, and her heart somewhat ached seeing how he works hard for everything and bearing everything all on his own. 

Now, with this, he has one more thing to worry about, and it feels bad to Soohyun for she is close to being useless to him at this moment. Maybe if she got stronger, she would be able to help him.

Judging by how responsible and mature Minhyun was, she had an inkling on how his past must have been difficult. He had the tendency to hide matters and not to let others worry much even though it might be tough on him.

"Han Minhyun, if it gets too difficult for you, I am there for you. Even if you say nothing about it, I know it can get hard for at times, and therefore, I want you to rely on me. Since we are stuck for forever, I do not mind sharing your burdens regardless of how much big they are."

Hearing those words from Lee Soohyun made Han Minhyun extend his hand towards her, and he pulled her into a tight hug. His actions made her feel surprised, and her eyes widened.

She did not expect him to do that. Nonetheless, she wrapped her hands around him, and Soohyun could feel her heart beating rapidly at their proximity. Nonetheless, she was not afraid of him hearing it.

"Thank you, Soohyun, but for now, it is better for you to concentrate on your training. This is not much for me," Minhyun vocalised.

Then, pulling away from the hug, he stared straight at Soohyun, and bringing his hand closer to her, he pinched her nose softly, causing her to scrunch up her nose.

He added, "Now, go to your training instead of thinking about such useless matter. I am not that weak as you portray me in your head."
