Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

"Moon Jiwoo, how gullible do you think I am?" Han Minhyun questioned.

"If I have ever considered you a threat, you wouldn't be married to me, and I wouldn't allow you to be in my apartment," Minhyun voiced out.

With confidence shining in her eyes, Soohyun said, "Could it be that you did this for me to let my guard down?"

Han Minhyun let out a dry chuckle.

"Seeing how you are being right now, it's hard to imagine you were that idiotic before," Minhyun said.

"That was just acting. This is how I actually am; I'm smarter than you think I am," Soohyun spoke out.

"You wouldn't walk into my lair if you were smart. Even if you knew a little about me, you wouldn't have latched on to me or wanted me to marry you," Han Minhyun vocalised. 

A look of amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in his eyes, irritating Lee Soohyun further. To her displeasure, Han Minhyun seemed to be enjoying this.

"I didn't have a—"

Lee Soohyun stopped herself before she could continue. She had almost spilled out the truth! She became even more wary and frightened of him. Han Minhyun stared at her, Soohyun felt an enormous compulsion to tell him anything he wanted to know. 

She was scared and it was apparent in her eyes. Han Minhyun was not an ordinary man, and Soohyun was not aware of what type of superpowers did the man in front of her possess.

"A choice?" Han Minhyun questioned.

Lee Soohyun coughed.

"It's nothing like that. If you want to know the answers, you have to answer mine first," Soohyun spoke— returning to her neutral expression. She could not let Han Minhyun catch any signs of weakness from her face.

"Since I'm in a good mood, let's do this then, Moon Jiwoo," Minhyun said, "We will take turns answering each others' questions."

Relief filled Lee Soohyun internally.

'This is better! Luckily, you did not die, Soohyun. Things are going well for you so far.'

"Alright. You can start with yours first," Soohyun stated, "I'll be honest with my answers so I expect you to be as well."

"Are you really Moon Jiwoo?" Han Minhyun questioned. His eyes sharpened as he carefully observed every single of her moves.

Lee Soohyun's eyes widened considerably for a second before reducing them back to their original size. Even if she was surprised by his answer, she can not let him see her current emotions. It will be hard for her to trick him in that way.

She did not expect for him to be suspicious to be her ident.i.ty entirely. This made an idea come inside Lee Soohyun's mind, and garnering up all of her courage, she decided to use it. 

About revealing her true personality, Lee Soohyun doubted that she had one. Her personality molded according to the situation and, therefore, Soohyun truly did not understand which side to show to Han Minhyun.

Clapping her hands together, a smile sat on Soohyun's face, and she voiced out, "Who can I be if I'm not Moon Jiwoo? I'm completely genuine, and you can run any kind of test you want."

A dangerous glint sat on Han Minhyun's eyes whilst he looked at Soohyun, and he voiced out, "I'm not in the mood for jokes."

'What do you expect me to say that? I'm a spirit that have invaded Moon Jiwoo's novel and you're mere character from a novel I have read? You'll directly send me to an exorcist then!'

"Minhyun, even if you believe me or not, I am Moon Jiwoo. If I'm not Jiwoo, then what are your guessed on who I can be?" 

Lee Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows.

"Isn't that why I'm asking you? Who are you?" Minhyun questioned in a stern tone.

"I know the sudden change of my previously arrogant personality to this might seem shocking and even unbelievable, but I'm really Moon Jiwoo. There is a reason why I acted that way," Soohyun stated.

"When is your birthday then?" Han Minhyun asked.

Soohyun gulped in nervousness. 

There was no way she could answer that question! Even if the author might have mentioned Jiwoo's birthday, Lee Soohyun did not exactly recall about it. If Soohyun knew that she was going to face such a situation, she would have paid more attention to reading the novel.

'Minnie, help! Are you there? Are you really going to disappear on me at this important moment? Wow! I really can't count on you.'

Soohyun sighed.

"I apologise to you for not being honest after I said I'll be. Actually I—"

"Don't use amnesia as an excuse. You had no accidents of such type. You have changed after the day you spent that night with me," Minhyun pointed out whilst wearing a poker face.

It seemed that Soohyun had no other options at this moment other than telling the truth to him. Sucking in air, Soohyun garnered up courage within her.

"I wasn't going to. What I wanted to say is yes, you're right. I'm not the real Moon Jiwoo; I'm someone else who had taken over her body," Soohyun spoke out.

Soohyun half expected Han Minhyun to start laughing at her. However, nothing like that happened.

"I had an inkling that was the case," Minhyun spoke out, taking Lee Soohyun aback.

"Wait! You actually believe that!? Don't you find it ridiculous or anything?" Soohyun questioned— her tone showing how shocked she was.

"This sounds more plausible," Minhyun answered.

He then added, "This shows how your behaviour changed within less than a day. There were cases of spirit possessing bodies in the past."

Soohyun let out a breath of relief hearing that. He was not particularly hostile towards her after listening to her answer. Nonetheless, this made her be more cautious around him. Han Minhyun was not anything less than sly after all.

"It is my turn then," Soohyun spoke out, "What are you? I know that you're not a human, so what are you actually?"
