Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

'Aish! Then, use that head of yours properly and quickly try to find out who that hand belongs to. That would be deleting a lot of trouble.'

Before Minnie was able to respond to those words of Soohyun, the door before her was slid open, and Minhyun walked into the room. 

"How did everything go?" she questioned while she sat up on the bed.

Walking over to the bed, he sat down beside her and stated, "They went fine, but…"

Turning towards her, he extended his hand at her, and pinching the top of her nose, he spoke out, "Where did you get the courage to say such words? I thought the King made you shiver in fear."

Scrunching up her nose, she said, "That is you, not me. Even if you did me, I am telling you that I did not regret yelling at that bastard. I swear that if he gets poisoned, I will not be lending him a portion of that antidote and stab him to death myself. The only thing I regret now is not punching his nose before strutting out of that room. Should I go and do that now? Where is his room?"

Han Minhyun let out a chuckle, and raising his hand, he patted the top of Soohyun's head. He then spoke out, "I was about to scold you for your impulsive actions, but your cute self had stopped me from doing this."

"I can't still get used to you giving me compliments. I remember you calling this beautiful self of mine ugly," she pointed out.

"I was not exactly lying though. Back then, you felt ugly to me, but you look beautiful to me now," he said while he placed his lips on top of hers.

"You were definitely a playboy in your younger days. This confirms it. Anyway, what happened?" Soohyun vocalised in the end switching to a serious tone.

A dark look appeared in Minhyun's eyes, and turning solemn, he spoke out, "The medicine worked flawlessly, and currently, he is taken to the infirmary to be examined. Yejoon is there to make sure of that. Taking in the affects of the medicine, he should be remaining unconscious for three days."

"Wow! This was really easy," she stated.

"It truly was. It seems that the fate is on our side. Now, quickly get yourself dressed. We will be heading over to his room," Minhyun voiced out.

"You will be going over as well? I thought that you will be busy for that," she said.

"This is too much of a big responsibility for you, and what if you miss a clue? That's why, it is better for us to go there together," he expressed.

With those words, Han Minhyun stood up and walked towards the direction of the closet. That's when, a sharp pain went through her head, and a gasp escaped from her mouth.

The ache was just like the previous time, and holding her head, she tried to quell it down. Her eyes began to water due to it, and for a fraction of a second, something flashed through her eyes.

Noticing Soohyun's current state, Minhyun moved closer to her and placed his palms on top of her shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

At his voice, the pain in her head diminished, and raising her head, she stared at the man standing before her. She could see the signs of worry in Minhyun's eyes, and that was something she took to be comforting.

Nodding her head, she spoke out, "I am fine. Just some headaches due to the lack of sleep and exhaustion."

"That's good then," he said, "You can catch up on all of them after all this is over."

"I hope so too as well."

Staring at the grand room before her, she scanned through the interior of the room. The room was dimly lighted, and the small lamp sitting at the corners of the room illuminated it.

A cloak was worn by both Minhyun and Soohyun. Pushing the hood of the cloak off of her head, she folded her the sleeves up and ready to begin searching.

Turning to look at Minhyun, she whispered, "You search at this side, and I will be looking over at the other side. This way everything will be more efficient and fast."

Han Minhyun nodded.

Fortunately for her, the drawers and doors to the cabinet were not locked. Opening them, she hurriedly yet carefully started to rummage through them, and after doing that, she put back everything to their original spots.

"There is nothing here," she mumbled to herself.

That's when, a sharp pain went through her head, and she clutched on to the wooden drawer in front of her tightly. Biting on to her lips, she tried to decrease the pain. 

She felt slightly dizzy, and everything around her seemed to spin for that moment. Before she was able to fix herself, she felt a hand around her waist and was pulled to somewhere.

When her back touched against a wall, she raised her head and saw that Han Minhyun stood before her. His hand gripped on to her waist while he pulled her close to him. In front of her was a curtain, hiding the two of them from the opposite side.

Raising his hand, Minhyun placed it on top of his lips, indicating for Soohyun to be quiet. Hearing the footsteps, she understood what he was trying to imply.

The door to the room was pushed open, and hearing the sets of the footsteps, Soohyun assumed for two people to walk into the bedroom.

"Find that thing immediately," a gruff voice said, "We have to instantly take it to that man or else there will be no drugs for almost a week. Boss will be killing us if that happens."

"Why do you we have to be the one to take the drug? I don't want to be involved in this," another voice spoke out.
