Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Hearing the cries from the kid, Lee Soohyun was stuck on what to do. Although Han Minhyun told her to stay put, she could turn her back on a small kid crying out for help.

"Please, someone, come and help me. This hurts so much. It hurts badly. Please help me get away from this."

Lee Soohyun bit her lips after hearing the heart wrenching cries from the child, and this made her remember about her childhood. Although Lee Soohyun did not involve such types of emotions whilst making decisions, she let out a deep breath.

"Help me please! This really hurt. Please help me."

'Let Han Minhyun scold or glare at me. That's the only thing he can do, and it's not like I'm doing anything bad. I'll just honestly answer him, and if he wants to punish me, I'll just cry a river.'

Without a second thought, Lee Soohyun ran towards the direction of the cries. As Lee Soohyun went closer to where the voice originated from, she felt that the noises from the cries were starting to get faint.

Lee Soohyun noticed that she was at one corner of the mansion, and looking around, she tried to spot any kid. There was no one there, and the sounds of the cries stopped. Complete silence surrounded her.

"Little kid, where are you?" Lee Soohyun called out.

Hearing no reply, Lee Soohyun decided to asked again.

"Little kid, where are you?"

This time as well, Soohyun received no reply, and looking down, Soohyun noticed a small door on the floor. 

'Could it be that the kid was inside that?'

Nonetheless, Soohyun did not advance towards that. There was a possibility of the kid being found since there was no more replies now, and the door looked to be something Soohyun should be careful of.

As Lee Soohyun was about to turn her back, she heard the same voice cry out again.

"Help! I'm down here! Quick! I'm having a hard time breathing," The childish voice spoke out again.

"Just help up the kid and that's all, Soohyun. Out of all people, you can not turn your back on a kid desperate for help."

Garnering up all her courage, Lee Soohyun walked towards the direction of the door. Kneeling down, Lee Soohyun pulled open the door completely. There was a series of stairs beneath her, and at the bottom of the stairs, Soohyun could see light.

"Are you under here, kid?" Soohyun called out.

"Yes," The kid answered, "Can you help me up, Noona? I'm really scared."

Wanting to be careful, Soohyun asked, "Little kid, I'll help you up, but can you say what all is there beside you?"

"Oh! Beside me, Noona? There are lots of bottles," The kid replied.

"Must be the wine cellar," Soohyun muttered to herself.

"I'm coming down, Kid. Count down from one to twenty, and you'll see that Noona is with you. Don't be scared," Soohyun spoke out.

Sobbing, the kid voiced out, "Thank you very much, Noona."

Getting down, Soohyun stepped on the stairs, and carefully, she went down the stairs. Thinking that she will be scared due to the height, Soohyun did not look down.

Internally, Soohyun prayed hard for Han Minhyun to not find out about this.

Her surroundings were starting to get brighter, and as Soohyun was almost on the last step, Soohyun turned around. There was no kid here as well, and jumping back to stand on the floor, Soohyun looked all around her.

The door above closed all of a sudden, and Soohyun jumped back at that. Her eyes widened in horror. Stepping up the stairs, Soohyun tried to push the door up. However, that was of no use; The door wouldn't open.

'C-Could it be that there are really ghosts here?'

Lee Soohyun shuddered at the thought at that, and pushing on the door frantically, Lee Soohyun prayed that someone would hear her. She did not mind facing Han Minhyun's wrath.

Sweat started to form at her forehead due to how anxious she felt, and opening her mouth, she yelled out, "Is there anyone out there? Help! I'm stuck here!"

"No one will hear your cries. Even if they do, they will ignore it."

Startled by the voice, Lee Soohyun almost lost her balance. Holding on the stair in front of her, Soohyun regained her stability. A sigh of relief left her mouth. 

There was someone at this place, and Lee Soohyun could ask that person for help. That person could have come here after hearing the kid's cries.

Unable to properly see who the person was, Lee Soohyun got down the stairs. Turning back with a soft smile on her face, Soohyun saw a boy, who looked to be around nine, standing in front of her.

The boy had messy brown hair, and a mocking smile sat on his face. His hands were tucked into his pockets, and he looked to be the type of be a trouble maker.

"Were you the one who called for help?" Soohyun asked, "Are you alright?"

Bending down to his height, Soohyun smiled at the boy in front of her. Soohyun was not oblivious to the hostile and mocking expression on the boy's face. Nonetheless, she decided to pay no attention to it.

The kid stepped towards Lee Soohyun, and the sneer on his face became more evident. Walking towards Soohyun, the kid held a few strands of her hair and raised them.

"I call out for help regularly, but you're the only fool who fell for them," The boy spoke out before pulling Lee Soohyun's hair and releasing them.

Feeling the sharp pain that went through her head, Soohyun pushed back her hair. Trying her best to hide the irritation and frustration she currently felt, Soohyun asked, "Little boy, do you know a way out of here?"

The boy stared at Soohyun with a bored expression and spoke out, "Do you think I'd be here for a year if I knew a way out?"

Shock filled Soohyun after hearing the boy's words. However, realizing that the boy could be pulling her leg, Soohyun wore a friendly expression. No matter how he acted, the boy in front of her was a kid, and if she as an adult was scared, then the kid must be scared as well.

Taking out her phone, Lee Soohyun decided to call Han Minhyun when the boy said, "You won't be getting any network."

After turning on her screen, Soohyun realized that the boy was right. Soohyun let out a despondent sigh at that. Now, she had to wait for Han Minhyun to find her.

'Yay! I have to hear him scolding me for three hours and be punished. '

"For Han Minhyun's wife, you're really dull," The boy commented.
