Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Watching Han Minhyun step into the room, memories of what had just happened flooded into Soohyun's mind, and she recalled about how Junghyun mentioned on Minhyun stopped him from kissing her.

'No wonder he did not want to tell me about the entire! Ah! This is worse than doing something humiliating!'

"Say it," Minhyun vocalised as the door behind him closed.

Stretching his arms, Minhyun removed his blazer, and going over to the couch, he sat down on it. Leaning against the couch, Minhyun ran his fingers through his hair, and that action of Minhyun appeared mesmerising to Soohyun.

Snapping out of that, Soohyun vocalized, "I actually found out what happened last time I was drunk, and uhm, ah! I guess I don't blame you for not saying anything to me."

"Oh, you did," Minhyun stated in a bored tone.

"Geez! You don't have to sound like that, but damn! Things will be so awkward now. However, I suppose it is a good thing that I will be going to the Underworld tomorrow and would not have to face Junghyun for a while," Soohyun said as she fell back on the bed.

"Do you like him?" Minhyun asked.

Han Minhyun's words caused Soohyun's eyes to widen, and she immediately sat up on the bed. Shock could be seen in her eyes in that instant.

"Well, if you do want to be with him and like him back, I guess you can be with him after this is over. You don't have to stay in this relationship with me," Minhyun voiced out.

"Oh."

That was all what Soohyun could say at that moment. Although she had a clue on how Minhyun is able to read her like a open book at this moment, she could not help but feel disappointed at this moment.

If she was scolded or given cold treatment, Soohyun would have felt better. This just showed Soohyun that Minhyun did not care enough to keep her by his side, and she had no idea on why this hurt her that much.

Romantic feelings towards Junghyun was surely something she did not possess, and despite that, Soohyun wanted to see Minhyun possessive over her or jealous in this situation. 

However, the nonchalance he used was a sharp blow to her heart, and knowing how he was able to see through her, she had no inkling on what to say.

Standing up, Soohyun flashed a small smile towards Minhyun and said, "I will be going to sleep now."

Lee Soohyun's mood did not escape Minhyun's eyes, and he instantly stood up from his place. Before Soohyun could go over to her side of the bed, Minhyun gripped her wrist in order to stop her and pulled her back.

A gasp left her mouth as she turned her head back to face Minhyun, and raising one of her eyebrows, she gave Minhyun a questioning glance.

"Soohyun, even though I can sense your emotions, I can't see what is causing them, and unless you tell me about it, I would not be knowing the reason," Minhyun expressed, "I don't want you to be hesitant about expressing yourself to me and any walls between us."

Glaring at Minhyun, Soohyun stated, "That's funny coming from you. You hid to me about why you acted that way in the aquarium to me. They are right when they say that all men are liars."

Lee Soohyun wanted to divert the topic badly at this moment. She did not want to discuss regarding it for it would be too embarrassing for Soohyun to talk on that matter.

"Well, you are reading too much into that situation. This was simply a slight discomfort—"

"Liar," Soohyun vocalized, "I don't know whether or not this counts as reading your feelings, but Minhyun-ah, I can sense you are lying. It is just similar to when the kids in the orphanage tried to steal the candies and tried to lie about it. However, they did not being successful."

"Curiosity is bad," Minhyun voiced out, "It leads to danger."

As a small pout formed on Soohyun's face, she said, "More than curious, I am worried, and there is a difference between the two."

Shaking his head, Minhyun stated, "Since you are being this difficult, I might as well tell you about it I guess. The barrier around the mansion was attacked that time. I am sure you recall about how both of the barrier and me are connected."

"Wait! So, someone attacked the barrier, and that's why, you felt the chest pain," Soohyun vocalised, and the thought of what Minhyun was able to evoke fear within Soohyun. 

When Han Minhyun had previously mentioned it, Soohyun did not think of it as something that serious. However, it was different matter now. Seeing it in action was much scarier.

"How powerful was the attack?" Soohyun asked, and her eyes showed clearly how shaken up she was at this moment.

Extending his hand towards her, Minhyun patted the top of her head with his palm and said, "Geez! The attack did not leave any type of scratch. It was weak, but you can't be that weak about it. This is not the first time I got this type of pain, and I know that I will be fine through—"

"Liar," Soohyun voiced out, "You need to learn to hide your emotions better. I can clearly notice that you are lying."

After a chuckle escaped Minhyun's throat, he said, "Maybe I am slightly unsure about it, but that does not mean I am lacking when it comes to confidence. I don't believe I will be dying that soon, so this is all fine."

"Tch! Lies, lies, lies. Han Minhyun, feeding me with lies won't work," Soohyun vocalised as her eyebrows were furrowed.

Bringing his finger over to her forehead, Han Minhyun flicked it, causing Soohyun to wince in pain, and she closed her eyes tightly.

"I know I am not lying; It is you who is lying."

Soohyun giggled at that and said, "There was nothing wrong with trying it."
