Chapter 275 - Neutral parties

"As you have probably read before, the leader from the Min Family was killed, and there is no current heir to it. Even the members of the Min Family is rare because many people died in an incident," Minhyun informed— his voice being all serious.

"What type of incident?" Soohyun questioned.

The two of them were currently inside their bedroom, and the atmosphere around them was quite tense. It was expected to be such with Minhyun being nervous on revealing the past.

Seeing Minhyun being anxious was not something Soohyun got to see often, and she was aware that recalling about the past memories were not something he found pleasant.

She just hoped that he was not pushing himself for her sake. That was not what she wanted, and she did not think she would be able to bear that.

"We will get to that slightly later," Minhyun said, "So, basically, as you might know, Eunwoo was my younger brother. Min Wonho was the leader from the Min Family, and his fated one was Min Eunmi.

Both of them were our parents, and I guess you can say that it was decently happy family before everything got trampled on. There were lots of misunderstandings present in this and barely any one knows of the true story.

Han Sungmin, Seo Taemin, and Hwang Yejoon are one of those few who are aware of the truth. I am Min Jaehwan, but that is not known to everyone. I will explain the reason behind my hidden identity."

Pursing her lips, she waited for Han Minhyun to continue further. It might be difficult for him to recall about everything once again and inform her on all of his painful memory.

"Around twenty five years ago, this had occurred. Back then, I was eleven, and Eunwoo was eight. Everything was normal in our family until one day I have eavesdropped on a conversation between my parents and Han Sungmin.

They were talking about destroying the King, Kim Namhyuk, and taking over the place. The position will be taken over by Han Minhyun, Han Sungmin's son. 

Minhyun was around my age at that moment, and although he was too young to take over the place, they were discussing about it. 

The current King was not just in the judgement, and back then, his power was not that much. Due to cruel treatment, my parents wanted to get him off his throne, and Sungmin, on the other hand, wanted to do it because he wanted his son to succeed to the throne.

There was two reasons behind why he wanted to do it this early. Firstly, Kim Namhyuk was weak at that moment, and he might grow to become stronger later on. That is why, it was better to attack at that point.

Secondly enough, since his son was young, Sungmin would be able to control everything behind the scenes, and as Sungmin was a person who wanted power, this would be the perfect opportunity," Minhyun explained.

"Do you need water?" Soohyun questioned.

Han Sungmin did indeed resemble someone who would go after power, and staring at Minhyun with anticipation, she waited for him to continue further.

Shaking his head, Minhyun continued, "After I got to find out about all these, I was confused on what to do, and I have spilled about all of this to Eunwoo. One more person who knew about this was Seo Taemin.

He and my Father was as close as brothers, and he attempted to stop my Father from doing so, saying how it was too dangerous. But my Father did not listen to those words. In his opinion, things might get horrible for the people and Blue Clan might attack soon if this King continued to rule. 

I decided to come clean about everything to my mother, and when she heard all of this, she was shocked. She then ordered me to stay quiet about all of this, and this was the first time I have seen her being this serious. I just obeyed her," Minhyun vocalised.

Lee Soohyun stared at Minhyun with interest in her eyes. Even though this was wrong of her to feel this way, she was excited to know about how things would go further.

Maybe because she did not have parents ever, Soohyun did not understand the pain of losing them, and that is why, she could bring herself to feel sad for him. 

This made Soohyun think that she was heartless for thinking that way, but she was unable to help that. Even if she tried, she could not bring herself to feel pity.

"Everything was going well, and it was time for the final move for them. My parents were happy. However, that is when everything started to go downhill. There was a flaw in their plan, and the king got to know that someone was planning his assassination.

Setting out a perfect trap, he was determined to catch that someone, but Han Sungmin was smart. He got to know about what the King was planning the last minute, and deeming it too late to save my parents, he decided to murder the two of them.

My parents identity was not revealed to the King, but Sungmin mentioned go the King on how he had taken care of those who tried to assassinate them. After destroying their faces, Sungmin brought them forward to the King, so that they would not be recognizable," Minhyun voiced out.

At that moment, something hit Lee Soohyun, and she stated, "Hold on! Is it safe to say me about all of this? Minnie gets to hear whatever you say me, and this might get all the secrets out to her."

Lee Soohyun had no idea on how it slipped her mind earlier, but this could prove to be a serious issue. It was not that she did not trust Minnie; it was because she did not want any problems to come to what Minhyun had in mind.

"That is alright. Minnie is related with the Oracle, and the two of them know almost everything on this events," Minhyun vocalised, "They are neutral parties whose only concern is to take the best steps for the Red Clan."

"Ah! That's good then! I almost got an attack there," Soohyun commented.
