Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

"Is Butler Shin there in the mansion? If so, can you hand over the phone to him, and don't let anyone know that I have called you," Soohyun vocalised.

"That Old Man must be somewhere," he stated, "I will search for him and hand over the phone to him, Annoying Lady."

"Thanks, do that," she vocalised.

"Annoying Lady, hmm, that actually suits you," Kwangsoo mumbled as he pursed both of his lips together in order to hold in a laugh.

"If I am annoying, then what are you? A loser? Up until this point, you did not contribute anything to this," Soohyun retorted, sticking out her tongue at his direction.

"Geez! I have lots of ideas, but I am just letting you take the lead. It is fun to watch a little girl play around," he stated.

"That excuse is so lame. Even a three year old can come up with a better lie."

After couple of seconds, the phone was handed over to the Butler Shin, who then voiced out, "Hello, Mistress Jiwoo."

"Oh, Butler Shin, it's you. I have something important to discuss with you about, but before that, can you move to somewhere more secluded? No one can absolutely know of this matter," Soohyun vocalised— her tone holding seriousness.

"Sure, I will be doing that, Mistress Jiwoo," he stated, "What had happened?"

Letting out a cough, Soohyun cleared her throat and said, "I don't know if you know of the current condition of the Underworld, but I have no time to explain about that to you. You have got to trust me on the entire thing though, and please don't let out a single word of this. Minhyun's life depends on this."

"Don't worry, Mistress Jiwoo. I trust you about the entire matter," he spoke out, "Yes, I am aware of what happened at the Underworld as well. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I am perfectly fine. There is some investigation I need help with," she stated.

After her conversation with Butler Shin was over, the two of them decided to walk back to their rooms for it was too late. Maybe by now, they have sent someone to search for them.

Holding the phone close to her c.h.e.s.t, she let out a deep breath and spoke out, "I just hope that everything goes fine. This is so nerve-wracking."

"How can it not go well? After all, it is me who is beside you," Kwangsoo commented.

Lee Soohyun let out a chuckle and pointed out, "I find it surprising how obedient you have been. I thought that you would try to create more trouble and was actually prepared for that. But seeing how complying you have been, I am really shocked."

Turning his head to look at her, he directed a wink at her and expressed, "I can be a naughty boy if you want, but let's go for all that after this mission is over. Even bad boys need to be good at times."

Shuddering at his words, she retorted, "Heol! I just got the goosebumps."

"I wonder how would Hyung feel if he thinks that you are cheating on him with me," he voiced out, "After this entire thing is over, let's try to do that."

Letting out a sigh, Soohyun said, "I just hope you fall in love with someone, who can keep you under control soon. Then, the trouble will be minimized. You seem to be someone who will be kept on leash by your lover."

Looking at her, he placed his hand on her shoulder, making her stop, and staring at him, she questioningly raised her eyebrow at him.

"Why don't you be that person who will be keeping me on leash?" he asked.

Letting out a laugh, she said, "Like you can make me fl.u.s.tered with those words."

With that, she slapped his hand away and began running away towards the building before her. Seeing her running figure, a chuckle left his mouth.

"Wow! You have really awakened my forbidden d.e.s.i.r.es for you. What do I do now?"

Turning her head back to look at him, she scrunched up his nose at him and vocalised, "I do this for everyone. You are no one special."

"Are you set with your plans?" Kwangsoo asked.

The two of them were currently preparing to go into the research laboratory. In order to carry out her plans, what Soohyun first needed to do was to get out of here, and the best way to do so was to get them to kick her out.

For that to happen, all she needed to do was create a huge amount of mess.

Clapping both of her hands together, Soohyun curved her lips to form a wide smile and spoke out, "Yes! I am perfectly ready for it. But remember that I will be coming for revenge if they actually beat me up. Your ideas always make me doubtful."

"Aish! How can you have that little of a trust on me?" he questioned.

He then added, "As someone who is good at scheming, you just have to follow my instructions clearly."

Letting out a chuckle, Soohyun vocalised, "You maybe good at scheming, but when it comes to actual situation, you are horrible at coming up with a solution. What is even the use of your talent at this point?"

"Isn't it coming helpful to you at this moment? My talents are special, and they can not be always used," Kwangsoo vocalised, "You really need to be grateful to me for giving you this opportunity."

"Bullshit!" she exclaimed.

Then, moving closer to him, she whispered, "By the way, have you managed to get any information from the Underworld?"

Letting out a sigh, he shook his head and vocalised, "I wish I could say 'yes', but about this entire thing, I am just as clueless as you. There is no way for me to get the information from there."

"I don't actually care about other things," Soohyun voiced out, "I just hope Han Minhyun is safe."
