Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

There is an important announcement in the author's note, so please, do read it! Thanks!

"What the hell," Han Minhyun mumbled as he stepped into the room.

After staying overnight at his company, he returned home early in the morning. However, upon returning home, this wasn't the scene he was expecting.

The bed inside the room was at a messy state, and on top of it, Lee Soohyun and Eunwoo was sprawled. Eunwoo's leg was above Soohyun's stomach while her head fell down from the bed. Pillows were thrown across the room, and the blanket was on the floor.

Then, Han Minhyun's eyes fell on the clock above the bed, and seeing the time on it, his eyes widened. His gaze turned strict before he looked down at his son and wife.

"Lee Soohyun! Min Eunwoo!" he exclaimed.

At his shout, both Soohyun was aware of his presence and instantly sat up on the bed. Soohyun wiped away the drool from the corner of her mouth while she drowsily stared at Minhyun.

Her hair was at a messy state, and while a yawn escaped from her mouth, Soohyun rubbed her eyes. After playing around with Eunwoo last night, she found herself being quite tired, and right now, she missed the comfort of her bed terribly.

Beside her was her son, Eunwoo, and he didn't appear to be at a better state than her. Like her, he was exhausted, trying to keep his mother entertained the entire night, and right now, he wanted to sleep very much.

"You two, how long did you stay up last night? Soohyun, are you forgetting that you are supposed to be an a.d.u.l.t!? This is first day of Eunwoo's school, and did you want to make him late on the first day? That's why, I can't leave you both alone at home! When will you grow up, Soohyun?" Minhyun scolded.

Lee Soohyun wore a pout on her face as she stared down at the bed. Last night, she was excited about Eunwoo's first day at school, and that's why, she planned for a slumber party for him.

But as she played with him for the entire night, she forgot about the time completely, and the fact that it was Eunwoo's first day at school slipped out of her mind.

As she glanced at her son, guilt began to fill her. This was supposed to be his first day at school, and now, due to her careless mistake, it was going to be ruined.

"We can still make it though," she mumbled, "And isn't being late considered to be cool?"

"You are sending him to elementary school, not highschool, Soohyun," he said, "Nevermind, I will dress him up, and you wash up yourself. You are really a handful."

Soohyun nodded.

°°°

Getting dressed completely, Lee Soohyun walked out of the washroom, and her eyes fell on Minhyun, who was buttoning Eunwoo's shirt. She could see that he was exhausted from working overtime last night, and now, he was doing this as well.

A pang of guilt went through, and she cursed herself for her carelessness.

Ever since Eunwoo was born, it was Minhyun who took care of him more compared to her, and Soohyun always felt guilt towards Minhyun for that. Although Soohyun tried her hardest to be a good mother, she always slipped up at times and acted like a child most of the times.

After Han Minhyun was done dressing Eunwoo up, Eunwoo turned back to face Soohyun, and with a smile on his face, he stared at the woman. It seemed that he was enthusiastic for his first day at school.

With a soft smile on her face, Soohyun made her way to her son, and bending down to his height, she extended her hand towards him. 

Patting the top of his head, she spoke out, "Aigoo! My Eunwoo looks so cute! You are really going to steal the heart of all the females out there. Let's take a picture together, alright?"

Eunwoo nodded.

°°°

Soohyun kissed Eunwoo on the top of his forehead and said, "Good luck on the first day of the school, and don't cry when you miss Mom, okay? You will be laughed at if that happens!"

Three of them stood before Min Eunwoo's elementary school's gate, and the students started to go into the school through the door. It seemed that due to them hurrying, they were able to make it school in time.

Eunwoo folded his arms across his c.h.e.s.t and vocalised, "I don't do that anymore. I am not a kid anymore, Mom! Bye! I will be going now!"

With that, Eunwoo turned his back on her and began to run towards the building. The smile on Soohyun's face stayed as she stayed at her son's distant back.

Then, she voiced out, "It seems that children really grow up fast."

"If only you grew up, it would be better," Minhyun commented.

Turning to face him, she glared at him slightly before softening her gaze and saying, "Thank you for today. I was responsible for everything, but then, I messed it up. I am sorry. It feels as if you are more of a parent than me."

"You idiot, when did you start to think about things in that way? But I suppose it's good to be self-aware," he vocalised, "At least you apologized."

"If that's how you are going to be reacting, I take my apology back. You are supposed to be assuring me, saying that I am doing just fine," she voiced out, "I thought that years will be making you sweeter, but I am wrong."

"It's as you say," he stated, "There is nothing wrong with how things are right now, and Eunwoo needs a friend of his age. You are perfect for that!"

"You asshole," she mumbled.

Clutching on his face, she kissed on his lips once the gates to the school was finally closed and made sure to bite on his lower lip with all of her force.

Seeing how his lips were bleeding once she pulled back, she voiced out, "That's your punishment!"
