Chapter 277 - Felt unreal

"What are your current plans on handling the situation?" Soohyun questioned— unsure of whether or not Minhyun will be answering her.

If he showed reluctance or refused to answer, she would not be surprised and understand the situation. This was a big matter, and he could not carelessly reveal about it to anyone.

"Plans, hmm," Minhyun enunciated, "I have left about that part to Oracle and Minnie. Both of them has plans they want to carry out, and for now, I want to concentrate on defeating the Blue Clans."

"That sounds reasonable," Soohyun replied.

At that moment, she recalled about something, and staring at Minhyun with curious eyes— holding a hint of worry— she questioned, "Was the barrier around the mansion attacked after our arrival here?"

They were currently away from the mansion, and if they attempted to attack the barrier around it, it would not be possible for Minhyun to stop it. The situation could end up being dire, and Soohyun was too scared to think about the worst possibility.

Extending his hand towards her, Minhyun rubbed the top of Soohyun's head with his palm, and flashing a soft smile at her, he vocalised, "Don't worry about that. Now, that I am here, I doubt he will be trying to attack the barrier around the mansion. He has no reason to do so."

"What if that person knows that you're connected with the barrier, and by destroying the barrier around the mansion, he actually wants to kill you? Such information can very easily leak out," Soohyun stated.

"Well, then Butler Shin and Yejoon will be there to take care of the matter," Minhyun vocalised, "As far as now, there were no attacks made on the barrier. However, whenever there is, I guess we will handle about that then."

Letting out a scoff at Minhyun, Soohyun vocalised, "Your attitude is not at all likeable."

Shrugging his shoulders, Minhyun voiced out, "If you keep on worrying like this, sooner or later you are going to end up with a head full of white hair. That would not be a pretty sight."

"Wait!" Soohyun exclaimed while her eyes widened dramatically.

Letting out a gasp, she continued, "Those from Red Clan get white hair due to worry as well!? I thought it was not possible for them since their health remains intact all the time."

"I have no clue on that aspect if truth was told, but I guess we can wait and see if it occurs with you," Minhyun vocalised as an amused look crossed his eyes.

"Geez! Han Minhyun, someone should learn to be ungrateful from you. It is you who is the prime reason of my worries yet you're teasing me in such a boy," Soohyun vocalised while she folded her arms over her chest.

"So, according to you, I should be thankful to you for worrying about me?" Minhyun questioned.

He then continued, "If I remove my mask to show you my face, will that be counted?"

His words made Soohyun's eyes wider, and she had a hard time believing what he had just said. Her eyes clearly reflected the shock she felt at that moment, and her expression caused Minhyun to let out a chuckle.

As expected, her countenance at times were extremely endearing.

"Heol! Really? Are you not pulling my leg?" Soohyun questioned— her eyes turning skeptical.

His offer was too good to be true, and she suspected that there was a hidden motive behind doing so or else why would he be offering to show his face to her.

"Well, if you don't believe me," he said, "I have no problem in retracting the offer."

Shaking her head frantically, she eagerly voiced out, "No, no, no, I have absolutely no problem with it, so you can remove that mask from your face."

Although Soohyun had a clue on how he looked without that mask on his face, she knew that this meant a big thing to him, and seeing that he was able to trust her to this extent gave her an inexplicable rush of joy.

Her heart beat rapidly within her chest, and she could not stop the smile from spreading over her face. Her eyes did not hide the excitement she felt in that instant.

"You are starting to look extremely creepy at this point," Minhyun commented, "I am close to pulling back from this offer."

Curving her lips to form a smirk and as her eyes showed a mischievous glint, she vocalised, "Don't tell me that the great Han Minhyun is going back on his words. This is unlike him. Could it be that his words are truly not credible?"

Han Minhyun scoffed and stated, "I guess I have to take the responsibility for what I had just said."

With those words, Minhyun raised his hand to touch the mask, and pulling it down from his face gradually, a nonchalant expression sat on his face.

This was not her dream; this was happening for real. Han Minhyun was actually revealing his face to her without her trying to do anything, and this was the second part of her mission. 

All of her missions happened naturally without her having to make push towards them. Soohyun understood Minnie's intention at that moment. 

Minnie was aware that all of them will be happening naturally, and all of those words Minnie said was for her to take the initial step. 

Soohyun doubted that she will be dying without completing those missions. More than that, she believed that all of those missions will be completed whether or not she liked it because it was already decided by the fate.

That Minnie definitely was smart and knew how to play her cards well. If it was not for the fact that her complete concentration was on Minhyun, Soohyun would have vented out towards Minnie for leading her on in such a way.

As Han Minhyun finally removed the mask off of his face, she taken aback by how he looked at that moment, and her heart began to beat rapidly within his chest. The situation in front of her still felt unreal.
