Lee Soohyun fell back on the bed. Although the bed wasn't as comfortable as the one in Minhyun's mansion, it was doable, and pulling the blanket on top of her, she closed her eyes.

In Soohyun's opinion, it was better to sleep through the entire time. However, the guilt and worry she felt towards Minhyun made her unable to sleep. 

A part of her wanted Minhyun to scream at her, so that she would be able to sleep without a worry. However, he was warm to her, and it was as if he clearly understood what she was feeling. Could this be because he could sense her feelings?

Thinking about Han Minhyun caused Soohyun's cheeks to redden, and heat rose up within them. Touching her cheeks, Soohyun slapped them lightly to calm them down; She found it hard to remove the wide smile, which was persisting to form.

Rolling on the bed, Soohyun mumbled, "Yah! Lee Soohyun, why are you acting like some teenager who had her crush notice him? You're way past that age."

That's when, Soohyun recalled about out someone— Minnie. Minnie was too silent during the entire time, and Soohyun was somewhat surprised that she did not say anything. Could it be that Minnie still held a grudge against her for what happened.

'Minnie! Minnie! You there? Mihee! Minnie?' Soohyun repeatedly called inside her head, and receiving no reply from Minnie was beginning to annoy her.

'Yah, Mihee, are you actually ignoring me?'

"No, I am not. You did a good job today, Soohyun, but…" Minnie vocalised hesitantly. 

Soohyun could notice the fear in Minnie's voice and could see that she was panicking. Not knowing the reason behind it, Soohyun furrowed her eyebrows.

'What's the matter, Minnie?'

"Nothing, nothing, nevermind. Anyway, you did a really good job. I am busy at this moment, Soohyun, so let's talk later," Minnie vocalised.

Sensing the urgency in Minnie's voice, Soohyun did not pursue the matter further although she wanted to know why Minnie was this shaken up. Being the clueless one about everything did not feel good to Soohyun, and a frown settled upon her face.

That's when, she heard knocks on the door before her, and sitting up on her bed, Soohyun wondered on who it could be. Placing her feet on the floor, Soohyun stood up and carefully walked towards the door.

Robberies were common in such places, and Soohyun had no interest in being a victim for such a thing. Sadly enough for her, there were no hole on the door to see who the person was.

"Open up, Jiwoo! It's us— Jihoon and Yejoon."

Hearing Yejoon's voice, Soohyun felt relief spread through her, and walking over to the door, she unlocked. Pulling open the door, she stared at two males in front of her.

"Where is Chaeyoung?" She questioned as curiosity bloomed within her. 

Shrugging his shoulders, Yejoon vocalised, "No idea; Probably waiting for Eunwoo to approach her."

Lee Soohyun moved to the side, allowing two of them to enter in, and as both of them walked in, she closed the door behind them.

Staring at the two of them, Soohyun felt that the situation before her was too awkward, and she had no idea on how to begin a conversation. She was curious on what two of them knew about regarding this situation.

Walking over to her bed, Soohyun sat down upon it whilst Yejoon sat at the chair, which was placed at one corner of the small room. Oh Jihoon leaned against the door wall.

"Was Hyung aggressive?" Yejoon questioned.

He then added, "He doesn't take things well when Ahn Eunwoo is present. However, the way he pulled you away earlier did seem scary."

Shaking her head, Soohyun said, "He just scolded me slightly, and that's just all. Even I thought that he will be punishing me."

Yejoon laughed and said, "Hyung truly did not change. After you have ruined his big plan, I was expecting you to be at least punched. But then, he knows that you don't deserve it, and he doesn't want to hurt you for his selfishness."

Scrunching up her nose, Soohyun vocalised, "Explain things to me properly. I don't understand riddles."

Yejoon shrugged his shoulders and expressed, "Hyung will be telling you about everything when he is comfortable, but don't beat yourself about anything. You did not do anything bad. It's just that the situation was something like this."

Falling back on the bed, she said, "This doesn't make me feel any better, and seeing how Minhyun is, it just makes me feel guilty. Maybe he should have punched me. Then, I would have feel angered instead of this weird set of emotions."

"Jiwoo-ssi, you shouldn't feel guilty. What you did was probably good for the entire Red Clan, and a part of Hyung appreciates it," Jihoon vocalised.

"Master, is there really no change?" Minnie questioned.

A frown sat on her face while her eyebrows were furrowed. Worry was visible in her eyes as her hands shivered. As Minnie was close to panicking, she stared at her Master with hope in her eyes..

The golden cloaked man before her shook his head and said, "Nothing. There is no change in vision from last time."

Disbelief sat on Minnie's face as she questioned, "How is that possible, Master? After this, definitely Eunwoo wouldn't be able to use Chaeyoung, and didn't you predict that Chaeyoung will be completely enthralled by him to the point she will be revealing everything to him?"

The golden cloaked man nodded and said, "That was indeed the case. However, Ahn Eunwoo is not our threat."

Minnie's eyes widened at that, and she voiced out, "Doesn't that mean we are back at square one? Since Eunwoo isn't our main threat, doesn't that mean someone we don't know is? But who is that person?"

"I have no idea, but that enemy is close to us, Mihee. I can feel it. Although everything would be much easier if Eunwoo was our main enemy, I feel more relieved now," The golden cloaked man vocalised.
