A yawn left Lee Soohyun's mouth, and a sharp pain went through her head as she opened her eyes. She recalled about her intake of alcohol, and after that, this was to be expected.

A groan left her mouth as she began to sit up, and the bright light hit her eyes, increasing the intensity of the headache she felt. 

Turning her head towards the direction of the clock, she noticed that it was three in the morning, and this left her wondering on why the lights were turned on at this moment.

"Take the medicines; They are on the nightstand," Minhyun said.

Hearing his voice, she looked at the direction he was at and saw that Minhyun was sitting upon the couch. On the gla.s.s table was a laptop, and Minhyun was typing away in it.

"Alright, thank you," Soohyun replied.

Her eyes s.h.i.+fted on to the nightstand beside her, and seeing the pill along with a gla.s.s of water, she extended her hand towards it.

After she had swallowed down the pill, she hoped for the pain to decrease, and then staring towards Han Minhyun, she asked, "Why are you awake at this time though?"

"Work," Minhyun answered.

Soohyun did not recall on how she came up to the room or what happened for the most half when she was drunk. She did not mean to get that drunk. However, after she had a gla.s.s, she could not stop herself from having another gla.s.s. This ended up getting her utterly drunk.

Yejoon going to the washroom was the last thing she remembered, and everything was a blur after that. She knew that Junghyun was along with her and was laughing about something. But she could not remember it what it was about.

"Did I cause any mess?" Soohyun questioned.

She could not recall herself doing anything like that. Nonetheless, she had a clue on how she embarra.s.sed herself when she was drunk at times.

"You was about to be involved in a mess until I stopped," Minhyun replied as he pressed one last key on the laptop before pus.h.i.+ng down its cover and closing it.

His voice sounded detached and expressionless, and this made Soohyun curious on what the reason behind it.

"What type of mess?" She asked whilst raising one of her eyebrows. 

Getting into a mess whilst being drunk was not a term Soohyun was unfamiliar when it came to herself, and she was eager to know what it was that she did. 

Han Minhyun stood up from his seat, and as he stepped towards Soohyun, she stared at him questioningly. Nonchalance covered his face causing her eyebrows to furrow.

"You would not like knowing about it, and it is better for you to not be aware of it," Minhyun said, "Now, get some rest, and I will be going to check your result."

"I have done really embarra.s.sing things when I am drunk, so trust me when I say this would not affect me," Soohyun voiced out whilst flas.h.i.+ng a wide smile towards Han Minhyun.

Extending his hand towards her, he patted her head and stated, "Just go to sleep; It is better for everyone if you do not what happened."

Soohyun let out a sigh. Even though she was inquisitive what was so serious, she noticed those grim eyes of Minhyun and was well aware that she would not be able to get the answer now. Maybe she could ask Junghyun later on.

As Han Minhyun walked towards the research room, he had no idea on what he was this irritated on. Fortunately enough, he could successfully cover this off when he was in front of Soohyun or else, he would have been hit with hundreds of questions from her.

After seeing how Junghyun was about to kiss Soohyun earlier, Minhyun acted on his reflex to push Junghyun away. 

Although he was well aware that Soohyun had no involvement in it and Junghyun was merely doing it due to the influence of the alcohol, Minhyun could not control in his anger towards either of them.

Jealousy— He certainly knew how to describe that feeling within him. Nonetheless, he did not know why he felt that. 

In the beginning, watching Soohyun play around with the boys in the mansion did not affect her, and he was confident on how he held no romantic feeling towards her.

If that was the case, why was he so enraged at this moment?

Romantic love was not something Minhyun preferred neither did he hold any sort of hatred towards it. Minhyun held absolutely no feeling at it.

He had heard multiple times on romantic love is beautiful and euphoric. Nevertheless, that did not make him have any kind of interest towards it.

The love he shared with his friends and family was something Minhyun found beautiful, and as he probably had someone fated for him, he did not care much about it. He was content with having someone who would be there to comfort him and make his days brighter.

When he met Lee Soohyun, he was somewhat dissatisfied with her. Nonetheless, now, he thought of herself being absolutely perfect for it. Although she had few flaws, he did not mind them.

Fated one or not, he have grown to become protective over her, and the relations.h.i.+p he shared with her was something he was beginning to find beautiful.

Nonetheless, he knew that it was not anything romantic. He adored her, but that was just platonically. He had no problem with that and was willing to spend his entire life with her.

Lee Soohyun was the perfect match for him, and he was happy around her. Whether or not there was romantic love between them did not matter to him.

After what had happened to him when he saw her getting closer to Junghyun really managed to astound him. Nonetheless, he did not let it occupy his mind.

He had no problem in having those type of feelings toward Soohyun.
