Chapter 273 - Cheesy words

"What are the current abilities you are able to use?" He questioned— his tone being cold and indifferent.

"Increased speed?" Soohyun vocalised, unsure of her answer. Her speed had indeed increased, but she was well aware that her speed could not be compared to many at here.

"That means none," Soobin vocalised, "We will have to start from the beginning. Don't miss any of the trainings and don't be late. I hate these two qualities!"

"Is that understood?" He questioned strictly.

Lee Soohyun nodded.

"Just because you're Han Minhyun's fated one, do not expect me to go easy on you! You need to train extra hard to live up to that name, and if you are caught slacking off, you will be getting punishments," Soobin said— his voice showing how he meant every one of those words.

Mustering up her courage, Soohyun questioned, "What type of punishments?"

"You'll see," he stated, "I don't like chatty people, so talk only when it is required. Other than that, remain utterly quiet!"

"Noted," Soohyun said.

A shudder went down her back, and the hair on her body began to rise. This man seemed to be more frightening than Oh Jihoon, and she just hoped that she will be successfully able to go through the training without getting into any kind of problem.

Soohyun had no interest in knowing what the punishments could be or how worse they can get; she also had an inkling on how Minhyun was not able to control many things at here. At times, she was required to use her brain at here.

"I don't like idiots, and if I don't see any progress, you will be having punishments set out for you as well. Han Minhyun would not be able to do anything against it, so wipe any thoughts regarding begging him for help from your mind," Soobin explained.

"Yes," Soohyun answered.

'Should I ask him on how to address him? Is that a good or bad idea? Should I just call him Teacher Kim? That sounds good."

"Is that all, Kim Soobin-ssi? The training begins tomorrow, and Unnie is currently busy," Miyeon vocalised.

Soohyun was joyful that Miyeon came to her rescue. That gaze of Kim Soobin made her feel extremely pressurized, and she thought that she will be losing her consciousness under those dark eyes of his— which seemed to be able to penetrate through the deepest part of his.

Kim Soobin nodded before turning his back on Soohyun, and a low sigh of relief left her mouth. If this continued for much longer, she might have fainted for real.

As if understanding the pain Soohyun had felt, Miyeon extended her hand towards her and patted on her back in order to give her some kind of comfort.

Lee Soohyun's eyes glared at Minhyun while she picked up the soup with the spoon and placed it inside her mouth. He, on the other hand, seemed to be unbothered by it and calmly ate his meal.

Anger was the only emotion she could express towards Han Minhyun or else she will be giving out her other feelings towards him; if that were to happen, he might be suspicious on how she had found out about his truth earlier.

"Your glares are not even slightly intimidating," Minhyun commented, and her eyes did not miss the amusement which crossed his eyes.

"Liar," Soohyun mumbled.

Curving his lips at the end to form a smile and mimicking her voice, he expressed, "Liar."

Soohyun scoffed and voiced out, "Geez! You seem happy! Congrats on being able to irritate me!"

"That's bold of you to assume," Minhyun vocalized, "What makes you think that I am happy for that reason?"

"The fact that you are super predictable to me," Soohyun commented, "I can basically read you like a open book at this moment. Now, you are slightly distressed, but that is overpowered by excitement. 

I can guess about what is providing you that excitement; it started when I began to glare at you. So, it is quite obvious."

"Sometimes I get surprised when I see that you have brain cells," Minhyun commented.

"Insulting my intelligence is getting old for you, Han Minhyun," Soohyun pointed out, "By now, I have proven more than enough of how smart I can be."

"Oh! You did?" Minhyun asked— his tone showing shock.

As Soohyun's eyes showed mock in them, she said, "It is funny how I was considered to be the childish one in the beginning, but now, I am pretty sure that title belongs to you."

"You can get rid of that childish title, but you will forever remain shameless," Minhyun commented.

"Was that supposed to be an insult?" Soohyun asked, raising one of her eyebrows.

She then added, "Because that is a quality I am quite proud of you. People like you can never be shameless because you are too drowned by your pride, but you should be thankful for my shamelessness or else you would have never found out your fated one."

"Wouldn't I have been better off without my fated one?" Minhyun asked.

He then continued, "You brought in extra trouble and headache to my life; there was no more peace in my life after you have entered it."

"Should I run away with some other dude after this is done then?" Soohyun questioned.

"I have got a better question that," he said, "Will any guy run away with you?"

His words made Soohyun scrunch up her nose, and she vocalised, "Why would not they run away with me? I am pretty sure I am not lacking in any aspects."

"Isn't that simple? That is because I would not let them to do so," Minhyun stated.

His words caught her by off guard, and her throat went dry all of a sudden. She had no clue on what to say at that moment and never expected to hear such words from Han Minhyun.

Seeing how he stared at her with a glint in her eyes, her heart beat rapidly within her chest, and she could feel her cheeks slightly heating up. 

She did not expect for such cheesy words to have this type of reaction on her; maybe it was because Han Minhyun was the one saying these words.
