Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Sitting up on the couch beside Kim Junghyun, Lee Soohyun was out of ideas on what to start the conversation with. Seeing Junghyun in this state was too weird for her.

After her guilt session in the attic, she had managed to calm down considerably, and although her heart considerably clenched at the thought of what she had done, she was convinced by Minnie that it wasn't her fault.

The thought of confronting Han Minhyun made her heart beat rapidly within her, and anxiety intensified within her. Sweat formed on her palm, and she was starting to feel nauseous from the amount she was worrying.

Although she kept rea.s.suring herself countless number of times, none of that worked, and whilst her eyes stared down at the ground, a frown sat on her face.

Kim Junghyun glanced towards Lee Jinhee, and he could easily discern that she was distressed. Although he wanted to remove that sort of expression from her face, he had no idea on how to do it.

He was equally awkward on how to begin a conversation with her. Even though he had gained back his original size, looking at Jinhee decreased the excitement he should be feeling.

Letting out a cough, he decided to try to break the silence and enunciated, "Ugly Lady."

Hearing Kim Junghyun address her in that way, Soohyun whipped her head to stare towards Junghyun and raised one of her eyebrows.

Kim Junghyun seemed to be a very attractive man and had an equally pleasing voice as well. All the young men Soohyun had met so far was mesmerising.

Soohyun recalled on how the members of the Red Clan aged slower compared to those of the Yellow Clan, and seeing how Junghyun seemed to be in twenties, despite of him being in thirties, did not surprise her.

"Huh?" She questioned.

Looking all around, Junghyun was out of ideas on what to say or do. He was close to panicking. At that moment, something hit him, and he stuttered, "M-Make m-me something to eat."

"No," Soohyun straightforwardly answered. 

If truth was told, she would make a mess if she cooked anything at this moment. With her emotions being a mess, she wouldn't be properly concentrate on cooking.

"Why?" Kim Junghyun whined.

Listening to how he sounded made his eyes widen, and embarra.s.sment filled him. Unwillingly, he voiced that out loud. If he could, he would have erased that from his memory.

Soohyun did not miss how Junghyun talked. Nonetheless, she was not in the mood to tease him about it at the current moment, and whilst stretching her hands, she let out a groan.

"That's because I am dying with worry about what Minhyun will do to me, and all of this is because of you," Soohyun voiced out whilst glaring towards Junghyun as subconsciously, a pout formed on her face.

This side of Soohyun made Junghyun taken aback. He never expected for Soohyun to lose her composure in such a way, and most of the times, she seemed to behave in a light-hearted manner. 

Nonetheless, Junghyun found this side of Soohyun cute, and as a red blush coated his cheeks as he turned to look at the other side. What was wrong with him to think about such things at such a situation?

Coughing, Kim Junghyun tried to gain back his composure whilst he looked towards her, he pointed his finger towards him and said, "Don't blame me for this. You are the one who stepped into the attic like a fool and pulled that paper out."

"Heol! Kim Junghyun, you're being unbelievable. Instead of being grateful, you are calling me a fool?" Soohyun scoffed.

"What do I need to be grateful about? Although you have restored me to my original size, my powers still haven't returned completely. 

Moreover, I have protected you from that gla.s.s falling on you; You should be more grateful to me because you're not hurt because of me," Junghyun vocalised.

Slamming her palm on the table, Soohyun stood up, and shooting one last glare at Kim Junghyun, she vocalised, "I even pulled you before it could fall on you. You know what? Nevermind. After all, what could I have expected from you?"

Turning her back on Junghyun, Soohyun turned the k.n.o.b to the door, and pulling the door to the room open, she walked out of the room whilst a small smile formed on her face.

Maybe she was being slightly mean. Nonetheless, she wanted for Junghyun to feel guilty as well. She had no idea on why she was doing this; Probably because she wanted to have some fun to calm her nerves down.

Recalling on how Junghyun had protected her before that gla.s.s could fall upon her showed that he cared for her a lot, and in Junghyun's case, it seemed that actions spoke a lot louder than the words.

"Yah! Moon Jiwoo, stop! Come back here!" 

She heard him exclaim after her. However, she did not turn back. She had enough with being upset, and before Minhyun appeared, she was ready to prepare her speech to give to him.

Even though she felt guilt, she was well aware that there was nothing advantageous about carrying negative emotions; They would just make her less efficient.

As Han Minhyun faced Han Sungmin, his eyes stared straight at him. Sensing that Soohyun's feelings was starting to calm down was able to make him focus more.

Regardless of how much Minhyun wanted to return, he was well aware on how that would be inappropriate, and even though Junghyun did not seem to be one of the best options, at this moment, Minhyun had trusted Soohyun over to him.

Minhyun had already disobeyed and offended the King and the Leaders countless number of times these days, and probably acc.u.mulated a lot of punishments, which he had to deal with later on.

"How are things going?" Han Sungmin questioned as he picked up his cup of iced tea and took a sip out of it.
