Chapter 200 - Playing Therapist

Shrugging his shoulders, Minhyun answered, "I just felt like doing so."

Soohyun scoffed and said, "You have ruined the atmosphere, and I forgot about what I was supposed to say. d.a.m.n! After all that effort I put in to that, it is gone to waste."

Han Minhyun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you're trying to mean. What have caused you to become this warm all of a sudden?"

"That's not that point here. Now that I have gotten you to understand my point, I want you to start ranting out about your day to me. It might feel strange, awkward, and uncomfortable to you, but we can take baby steps," Soohyun vocalised.

"What's with you playing therapist all of a sudden? Are you feeling pity for me?" Minhyun questioned as an amused expression crossed his eyes.

"Yes, Patient Han Minhyun. You shall refer to me as Doctor Lee from this moment, and any problems you have, you can freely tell me about it," Soohyun stated whilst wearing a serious expression.

Han Minhyun chuckled and said, "Enough with the playing around, and go to sleep now."

However, before he could lie down on the bed, Soohyun grabbed his shoulders and prevented him from doing so. Raising his head, he stared towards Lee Soohyun.

"I am really serious at this moment, Minhyun. I will annoy you the entire time until or unless you get comfortable with me," Lee Soohyun expressed.

As an amused expression crossed over his eyes, he asked, "What makes you think that will make me comfortable?"

"Didn't you say me that you trust me? Were all of those words just some lies and bluffs? I tell you about every feelings of mine, and it's only fair if you do the same to me," Soohyun vocalised.

"I had no idea that therapists are this forceful, Doctor Lee," Han Minhyun pointed out.

"For the better of their patient, the therapists have to take strict actions at times, Patient Han," Soohyun said, "Now, open up. Since you might be uncomfortable, I will begin asking the questions."

"You should sleep or else you will be waking up at the time of lunch," Minhyun vocalised.

"That is my business. Now, here is your first question, Patient Han. Say about your entire day from first to last at the Underworld," Soohyun stated.

Han Minhyun decided upon entertaining upon Soohyun for a while as he could see her persistent, and having someone to do this for him did not feel bad to him. Maybe Lee Soohyun was right in some ways.

Nevertheless, Han Minhyun knew that it was not good to bother with himself. Soohyun could be a busybody at times, and it was alright because he had depended upon himself all the time.

"I met up with the king in the beginning and discussed some matters with him. Then—"

"Wait! Stop!" Soohyun vocalised as she raised one of her hands.

"What did you discuss with him? You don't need to tell me that in detail because it might be confidential, but you can tell me about the minor details and how you felt after it. Pour out all the hatred, stress, or whatever you felt," Soohyun vocalised.

After couple of minutes of questioning Minhyun, Soohyun had finally fallen asleep, and watching the sleeping girl, a small smile formed on Han Minhyun's face.

At times, she could be extremely endearing.

Picking the blanket, he properly placed it upon herself and fixed her head on top of the pillow. Whilst rubbing his hand across her head, he mumbled, "Rest well, Lee Soohyun."

From her face alone, he could see how weary she was. Nonetheless, she still spared time for her, and seeing how she had tried to make him feel lighter touched his heart. 

Her determination made Han Minhyun answer all the question she had thrown at him, and although the answers were as concise as possible, she did not give up. 

In the end, he answered couple of her questions properly.

Feeling a hand on top of her head, Lee Soohyun opened her eyes slightly although she felt immensely sleepy. Even though the vision in front of her was blurry, she could make out Han Minhyun.

"Han Minhyun, not sleep yet?" She asked whilst a yawn let her mouth. 

"I'll be going to sleep, so close your eyes now," Minhyun said— his voice sounding gentler than the other times.

Extending her hand towards Minhyun's, Soohyun touched his palm, and weakly, she intertwined her fingers with his. Trying her hard to secure his hand, she closed her eyes.

"Until you have a proper sleep, I won't let go of you, Han Minhyun," Soohyun voiced out before drifting off to her Dreamland.

Even though Soohyun probably wouldn't be hearing this, he said, "Yes, I will be doing that."

Driving her hand through her hair, Soohyun yawned as she sat up on her bed, and even though she did tough exercise yesterday, her body did not feel that exhausted.

As time pa.s.sed by, her muscles started to ache less, and the improvement in her skills was most definitely noticeable. 

Seeing that Han Minhyun was getting dressed, she smiled at him and said, "You are really amazing to look that fresh after having barely any sleep."

"My body had adjusted to it," Minhyun stated.

Lee Soohyun recalled about the session they had couple of hours ago and wondered whether or not it had any affect on him. After forcing him, she managed to get him to open up to her slightly.

Nonetheless, in order to make the next schedule, Soohyun wanted to know whether or not Han Minhyun was comfortable with it. She would not pursue this if Han Minhyun was not alright with it.

From his face yesterday, she could not sense anything yesterday. Although he tried to change the topic at times, she could not see the reluctance upon his face. Then again, Han Minhyun was not that easy to read.

Taking in a deep breath, she asked, "How did you feel about that session in the morning?"
