Chapter 249 - Snowy field

Lee Soohyun's eyes fell on the basement beneath her, and a wide grin formed on her face. Her hand held on to a luggage.

"Wow! This basement brings back memories," Soohyun vocalised.

Soohyun recalled about the time she rescued Junghyun from this place, and from that point, her life took an unexpected turn all of a sudden. 

Although Soohyun did not know whether or not to deem the changes as good, she indeed could say that her life was turning adventurous.

Minhyun nodded and questioned, "Are you ready?"

"So, basically, we go down this staircase and into the basement to enter into your world?" Soohyun asked as she raised one of her eyebrows.

"There is a portal down there, and you will be entering into the Underworld through that," Minhyun vocalised.

Clapping both of her hands together, she said, "Alright! Let's do this then."

"Give your luggage to me," Minhyun voiced out, and before Soohyun could respond, Minhyun pulled it away from her. 

His actions caused a smile to form on Soohyun's face and made her think that he indeed had a gentlemanly side.

Han Minhyun went forward, and placing his foot on the top stair, he began to walk down the series of stairs. With a smiling expression, Soohyun followed after him while staring at her surroundings.

The basement seemed to be cleaned for there was no sign of dust, and as Minhyun stepped on the flat ground, Soohyun did the same as well. Minhyun made a turn towards the left, and going after him, she took in her surroundings.

The basement was completely hollow, and her footsteps echoed through the place. Before her there was a door, and extending his hand towards it, Minhyun gripped the knob to the door to pull it open.

A rush of air hit Soohyun at that moment, and feeling a bright light, she reflexively shut down her eyes tightly. Then, she gradually opened her eyes to notice a large spiral in front of her.

It appeared be something right out of a fantasy movie. The spiral was a mixture of shades of blue and purple, and bright light was emitted by it. Breeze flowed out it.

"Wow!"

Soohyun's sparkling eyes showed how amazed she was by the sight before her, and she could not stare away from it. Once again, the situation before her felt to be something purely out of the dream.

"Enter in first," Minhyun voiced out, "I will be right behind you."

Snapping out of her trance, Soohyun nodded and extended her hand towards the circle before it. There was not anything she could feel when she moved her hand forward.

At that moment, a strong force pulled her towards the circle, and a loud squeal left her mouth as she found herself being dragged into the spiral. Before she knew about it, she found herself losing her consciousness.

Opening her eyes, Soohyun saw herself standing on top of a barren land, and her legs stumbled at that moment when she found her vision kicking in completely. A sharp pain went through her head, and Minhyun placed his palm on top of her shoulder in order to stabilize her.

"You are feeling this was because it is your first time. It will be getting over time," Minhyun said before removing his hand from her shoulder and standing beside her.

Soohyun's eyes stared at her surroundings. Snow filled lands stretched before her eyes, and the sky was dark. Trees stood at the corners of the land, and there were no leaves upon them. Icicles hung off of them, and Soohyun found herself being amazed by how beautiful it looked.

Despite of the low temperature, Soohyun did not find herself trembling at it, and she was aware that her genetics was the one responsible for it. She would have been frozen if she was a member of Yellow Clan at this moment.

"Wow! This is beautiful!" Soohyun commented unable to tear her eyes away. 

There were no human that fell into her sight no matter how much in the distant she stared, and snowy fields before her made Soohyun wanted to play in it.

"There are more things that will be mesmerising you in this place," Minhyun said as he started to walk.

Sliding across the snow with her foot, Soohyun followed after Minhyun while occasional chortles left her mouth. Although cold was not something preferrable by Soohyun, she loved playing with the snow, and now that cold made her feel comfortable, she knew that she will be able to play with delight.

That is when an idea hit Soohyun, and bending down, she picked up some of the snow from the ground with her hand. Holding on to the snow, she hit back of Minhyun's head with it.

Letting out a giggle, she said, "Oops. I really did not mean to do that."

Turning back, Minhyun wore on an amused expression and voiced out, "Lee Soohyun, you really don't want to challenge me when it comes to hitting with snow balls."

Picking up another scoop of snow with her hand, Soohyun directed showed it to Minhyun before throwing it off at this direction, and as a glint appeared in her eyes, she stated, "Maybe I want to do it."

Using his powers, Minhyun raised some of the snow in his hand, and seeing that Soohyun's eyes widened. Turning her back on Soohyun, she was ready to run away from that place.

"Hey! Using your powers are not allowed! That is against the rules," Soohyun vocalised as she used her best speed to run away from Minhyun.

However, that motion of Soohyun's was not able to beat the snowball, and soon enough, the snowball collided with Soohyun's back. Feeling the cold against her back, she stopped for a second.

Before Soohyun could kneel down to pick up snow to hit towards Minhyun, she felt another snow ball touch her back, and the next snow ball came a second after that one.

As she was the one who started the game, she felt quite annoyed due to being hit by the snow ball repeatedly, and holding as much as snow she could manage with both of her hand, Soohyun rushed towards Minhyun.
