Lee Soohyun silently watched as Han Minhyun disinfected her wound and put a bandage over it. Around four to five scratches were made on her elbow and lower arm. The burning pain Soohyun felt at this moment made tears form at the corner of her eyes— which Soohyun deemed to be the fault of Jiwoo's fragile body.

After Han Minhyun had finished dealing with her wound, he closed the first aid kit and sat on the couch beside Soohyun. Staring at the bandage, Soohyun had to admit that Minhyun did a good job.

"Wow! Minhyun-ah, your bandaging is almost like a professional's. With your Clan's healing abilities, I did not think you knew how to bandage," Soohyun vocalised.

"I did not know. However, considering you, I decided to learn it," Minhyun expressed.

"I am not usually like this, Minhyun-ah. I got too much into the game, and this is just a one time thing. Maybe it would happen two to three times more. But that's all," Soohyun voiced out.

"Get to bed now. I will be finis.h.i.+ng up my work and come later on," Han Minhyun said.

Lee Soohyun was confused by Minhyun's words and stated, "What about the ball game? Are we not going to continue it?"

Holding the first aid kit, Han Minhyun said, "Focus on healing yourself first."

With that, Han Minhyun stepped out of the room, and a wide smile spread over Soohyun's face. Her chest began to flutter, and in her opinion, Han Minhyun was extremely charming at this moment.

'He bandaged my wounds, and he gave me a break from the exercise. Wow! The Villain can be good at times also.'

"Are you starting to fall for him?" Minnie questioned whilst sounding enthusiastic.

'Why are you here at this moment and what makes you think that? Obviously, I am very far from loving him. It is just that I am starting to find him decent.'

"That is good enough for now. Anyway, remember that you have another mission to separate Eunwoo and Chaeyoung. Out of all missions, you need to pay more attention to that."

'Why? I thought the missions related to Minhyun were more important.'

"They are, but at this moment, your priority should be separating Chaeyoung and Eunwoo," Minnie said, "At any costs before it gets too late. Letting Chaeyoung hate Eunwoo is the easiest way to doing so."

'But I am trapped at this mansion currently and unable to do anything.'

"Did not Han Minhyun promise you a reward? Make use of that," Minnie said.

'Too bad, I can't use it. I did not do all the exercises, and, therefore, I am not eligible for it.'

"I can not tell you anything more, but just think of something fast. It is not that I want to help you. It is just that I can not. Sorry, Soohyun-ah."

'You're starting to sound more and more pleasant, Minnie. Is it because of my blackmailing?'

"Things will get really serious and dangerous from this point on. The only one you can trust is Han Minhyun, and stay clear-headed. Do not make any rash decisions," Minnie said.

'Alright, alright, I get it. Since this is my fate, I suppose I have to accept it. About this entire thing, I will try to do something," Soohyun said, "Don't worry. I will not be losing my cool."

Resting upon the soft bed, many thoughts plagued Soohyun's mind, and regardless of how tired her body was at this moment, Soohyun was unable to fall asleep. Lee Soohyun kept turning whilst thinking of what to do.

If truth was told, this entire situation scared Soohyun, and she had no idea on what to do. Even though Soohyun thought hard, she could not find a way out of it. Everything that lied before her was something unknown to her.

Nonetheless, Soohyun did not let her emotions to be affected. She could not let herself be scared or crumble down. As long as she stood up straight and thought clearly, she was bound to find an answer— at least that's something Soohyun was followed to lead her life up until now.

"You're not sleep yet? I thought you were tired," Han Minhyun voiced out as he stepped into the room.

"Huh?" Soohyun questioned as she raised her head.

Han Minhyun closed the door behind him, and sitting up, Soohyun leaned against the bed. Glancing at the clock, Soohyun saw that it was already three in the morning.

"Wow! It's the late already," Soohyun mumbled.

Then, turning to Han Minhyun, Soohyun said, "Can't you sense my emotions?"

"I thought it would be polite to ask," Minhyun voiced out before walking towards the bed and sitting upon it.

"Well, since you have poured my head with too many ideas at once, I have to think a lot as well," Soohyun said.

"I wanted to keep you oblivious to this, but the situation did not allow me to," Han Minhyun stated.

"Why are you all fighting against the Blue Clan though? Can you two clans just not cooperate?" Soohyun questioned. 

"It was been pa.s.sed on from a long time. Signing a treaty doesn't work either. I suppose we are born to be against each other," Han Minhyun vocalized, "I'd prefer to blame the fate."

Soohyun chuckled and said, "That's an easy thing to do. I hate myself for not looking around the road properly while walking. Being run down by a truck doesn't sound like a cool death."

"Well, you can die a cool death this time around then," Minhyun voiced out.

"Heol! Han Minhyun, are you wis.h.i.+ng for me to die?" Lee Soohyun voiced out after letting out a gasp and widening her eyes.

"Just stating." Minhyun shrugged his shoulders.

"Han Minhyun, want to hear a compliment?" Lee Soohyun questioned.

"Not exactly. Even if you're not, I am quite sleepy," Minhyun voiced out. For the added effect, Han Minhyun let out a yawn at the end.

"I don't care about your opinion," Soohyun retorted.

She then added, "You're getting more bearable and fun as time pa.s.ses by Minhyun. You're turning less boring I suppose."

"You expect me to give you an honest opinion on how I feel as well?" Han Minhyun questioned as he stood up.

"I have an inkling that you'd call me dumb, idiotic, crazy, or annoying. If not those, then something similar," Soohyun vocalised.

"Lee Soohyun, you can perfectly read my mind."

Saying that, Han Minhyun entered into the bathroom, leaving Lee Soohyun confused.

"Wait! Han Minhyun, was that sarcastic or not?" Lee Soohyun questioned.

However, Soohyun's question got no answer, causing a pout to form upon Lee Soohyun's face. Falling back on to the bed, Soohyun closed her eyes and had not realized when she had fallen asleep.
