Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

"Anyway, Minhyun, I accept your challenge and will give that bastard a piece of my mind after the thing is over. But before he can catch me, I will be running away to the surface. That's how, he would not be able to do anything to me," Soohyun vocalised as she winked towards Minhyun.

Her lips curved to form a wide smile, and Minhyun let out a chuckle at that. At that moment, she seemed too endearing, and before inappropriate thoughts could invade his mind, he coughed at the scene.

Initially, he took herself to be someone with self-control, but lately, when it came to Soohyun, he was beginning to doubt that. Even though it was normal for one to desire for their fated one, Minhyun was able to keep it under control in the earlier days.

Lately, he has been finding Soohyun more and more irresistible. At times, he even found her distracting, and earlier at the King's office, when he found her growing angry at his words, Minhyun felt happiness brew within his chest.

A rush of joy went through him when Soohyun bad-mouthed the King, and although it was immature, he found himself supporting her antics.

"I will help you escape then," Minhyun said.

Soohyun stated, "I will be taking you with me when I escape; I don't want to see you being hurt cruelly by that Jerk! By the way, about Jaeho's matter, do you have any clue?"

"Back to the serious topic, I see," Minhyun commented before answering, "No, as of this moment, I have no clue, but I plan on investigating regarding it. Once I put my full attention to it, I am confident that the enemy would be able to escape."

"Aish! So arrogant!" Soohyun exclaimed.

She then added, "Wouldn't it be better to check the health status of all the Leaders? There is a possibility of them being given some other or similar poison as well, and the thing about only Jaeho being poisoned is suspicious."

"Well, considering how he is one of the strongest Leaders, it is not that much suspicious. He is thought to be one of the most threatening members," Minhyun said, "With his submissive appearance, he seems to be an easy target."

"That makes sense, but something about this is not right," Soohyun honestly voiced out, "All of this seems way too easy, I guess. If it was this simple for the enemies to poison the clan, then they would have able to poison you all and get you destroyed. But even they are struggling with that. There is something about it that is not adding up."

Investigating situations was not something that Soohyun did often, and Minhyun was clearly someone who has expertise in this situation. But that did not stop her from voicing out her ideas. 

Maybe she would be able to provide with some valuable ideas by luck, and the thought of being useful was something Soohyun liked.

She then added, "I don't know why, but I find Jaeho to be the one who is most suspicious. The thing about one of the strongest one being so submissive is just doubtful."

"Well, that is true, but Han Sungmin and Seo Taemin are more suspicious. Sungmin is a man who wants the King's position, and there is something he can't do as long as the King is alive. As for Taemin, he holds hatred due to some unjust decisions that have been taken in the past," Minhyun vocalised, "And he knows my true identity."

Out of all the words Minhyun had said, the last one caught her attention the most, and raising one of her eyebrows, she questioned, "Your true identity?"

Everything Minhyun had mentioned now brewed up more curiosity within Soohyun, and she waited for him to explain everything clearly to her.

"I will tell you about it. All of my secrets, and the answers you have been waiting for, but now is not the right time. There is someone waiting for you," Minhyun vocalised.

A type of joy bloomed within her heart after she had heard those words from Minhyun, and knowing that he will finally be letting her in on his secrets made her think that he was finally comfortable with her.

"Who is waiting for me?" Soohyun asked.

Holding the door handle, Minhyun pulled open the door, and titling her head, she saw a girl standing outside of the door. The Girl seemed to be quite cute and appeared to be a teenager.

The Girl wore on a smiling expression, and seeing Minhyun, she slightly bowed at him. Her neat appearance made Soohyun think of her as endearing.

"Minhyun Oppa, it is incredible that you will be staying here! Is this Sister-in-law!? Omo! She is so beautiful just like Yejoon Oppa had mentioned!" The Girl vocalised excitedly.

Her enthusiasm made a small smile form on her face, and before Minhyun could say anything, the Girl entered into the room.

Gripping Soohyun's hand, she said, "Sister-in-law, I am Hwang Miyeon, Yejoon Oppa's sister, and after learning how cool you can be from Oppa, I was dying to meet you. 

Finally, I can meet you! I really wanted to go to the surface, but Oppa did not allow me to do so! Anyway, putting that aside, I know that both of us are going to be great friends!"

This was the first time Soohyun had met a girl after transmigrating who did not harbour any malicious intent towards her, and that was enough to make her joyful. After only befriending some males, the thought of getting a girl as a friend made Soohyun elated.

Nodding her head, she wore a bright smile on her face before saying, "Yes! I think the same as well! Since you're Yejoon's sister, I have an inkling that you will be equally pleasing as him! On top of that, you are really cute."

Soohyun's words made Miyeon's eyes sparkle. However, before Miyeon could say something in reply, she found the collar of her shirt being held by someone and was pulled back.
