Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Knocking on Hwang Miyeon's door, she waited for the girl to come and open up the door for her. Since Minjae was a father for Miyeon as well, Soohyun decided to check up on the girl. 

After comforting Yejoon for about an hour, she was able to calm the boy down. This surprised Soohyun for she was aware how awkward she tend to be when it came to comforting other people.

Nonetheless, it was good thing that she was able to convince Yejoon to not take any reckless action and that Minhyun doesn't hold any hatred towards him.

After couple of seconds, the door in front of her was pulled open by someone, and staring at Miyeon before her, a worried expression sat on Soohyun's face.

She could see that Hwang Miyeon was crying the entire time, and her eyes were red and swollen due to the tears she had shed.

When Soohyun had stepped into the room, the door behind her closed, and instantly, she found herself being engulfed into hug by Miyeon.

The girl broke down crying while Soohyun held tightly on to her, afraid that her knees will be giving away and Miyeon will be falling down.

"There, there, don't cry," Soohyun said, "Everything will be fine. Do you want to see your brother? Even he is crying like you."

Miyeon sniffed and stated, "No, I don't want to see him. He is really mean. He forbid me from leaving the room and took away all of the maids. He said that he will be locking me in at here if I attempt to let any one inside my room, but Jiwoo Unnie, you're an exception."

"Your brother is just worried about you. After what had happened to your father, he is just scared that he will be losing you as well. He is doing this to keep you safe. The world out there is really scary now, and although confining is not that good, at least it will be keeping you safe, Miyeon," Soohyun vocalised.

"Why can't he let me in on what is happening? I am not a kid, and I understand everything," she spoke out, "It is not fair that he gets to know of everything while I am kept in the dark."

Brushing her hand through Miyeon's head, she said, "You are not a kid, Miyeon; he knows that. Keeping you ignorant is not the best option, but at least, it will be keeping the burdens off of you. Yejoon is doing the best he can do in order to keep you safe, so listen to your brother and don't make him worried."

"How is he? How is my brother? Is he doing well?" Miyeon asked.

"Yejoon, hmm, he cried for a while and wanted to be impulsive and well. But don't worry. I was able to talk him out of that," Soohyun vocalised, "Do you need anything now?"

"Father— I want to see him for the one last time. It has been long since I have last seen him, and before he disappears off completely, I want to see him for one last time."

"Miyeon," Soohyun enunciated as she hugged on to the girl tightly.

"Alright, let's do that then," she said, "Let's meet your father tonight. I will be taking you to meet him, but only for a short time, and you will be doing as I say. Alright?"

Upon hearing those words, Miyeon pulled away from the hug, and staring at Soohyun, she clutched on to her shoulders.

Then, a spark appeared in Miyeon's eyes while she stated, "Thank you, Soohyun. Thank you. I am really grateful to you for it. This favour— I will try my best to return it."

Extending her hand towards Miyeon, she patted the top of her head and ruffled her hair.

She expressed, "I am not doing this for in return of something, Miyeon-ah."

"Yejoon Oppa is terrible! Now, I have to even cook my own meals just because he can't trust the chef," Miyeon complained while she stepped into the room.

Held within her hand was tray on top of which was two cups of tea, and beside it was a plate full of various assortment of cookies.

Pointing at those cookies, she questioned, "Did you bake those?"

Hwang Miyeon let out a chuckle and said, "Well, yeah. Although they look beautiful, they don't taste half as good as you expect them to be."

Although it was difficult for Miyeon, Soohyun could see that she was trying to be as cheerful as possible. But since it was mostly forced, there was a awkwardness in it as well, and at times, it tend to feel dull.

As she sat down opposite to Soohyun, Miyeon placed the tray down and handed Soohyun her cup of tea.

A flowery fragrance came off the tea, but Soohyun was unable to pinpoint which flower it was. For she was new to the flowers at here, this was more or less expected.

Picking up the cup of tea, Soohyun brought it close to her mouth and took a sip out of it. The taste of tea, although was not the best, was satisfactory, and someone who had maids working for her from a very young age, this was remarkable.

"You did a good job in brewing this, Miyeon," Soohyun expressed.

"Well, this is edible. No matter how much I try, I can't make it as perfect as my chef does. This is so disheartening," Miyeon voiced out.

"I did not think that you would know all this," Soohyun vocalised, "Were you even allowed to go to kitchen?"

"Yejoon Oppa forced me to learn it. He mentioned on how I am talentless and need to know how to do at least one thing properly. That's why, there is a kitchen joined to my room," she said.
