Chapter 270 - Slap It Off

"How are you not full yet?" Minhyun questioned.

Up until now, she had eaten Iced Crystal Apple, Frozen Sweet Orange, Sparkling Caramel Ice-cream, and Cold Blueberry Cake, and was currently eating Frosted Lemon Cookies.

 "Seeing these delicious food increased my appet.i.te. I would not expect a boring man such as yourself to understand this," Soohyun voiced out while she took a bite out of the cookie.

Extending his hand towards her, Minhyun touched the corner of her lips to brush the crumbs of the cookie away from there, and his actions caught her off guard.

Both of her eyes widened, and she stopped herself from taking a bite out of the cookie. She never took Minhyun to be this kind of romantic guy. 

Although she was aware that he had no sort of romantic meaning behind it and merely doing it because of how he took it to be natural to take care of her, her heart could not help but beat rapidly at his actions.

"Eat properly," Minhyun scolded, "You are in public."

Soohyun coughed, and while trying to calm her rapid heart beats within her chest, she voiced out, "Geez! You ruined the romantic atmosphere. You should've licked those crumbs off your finger."

Scrunching up his nose towards her words, Minhyun shook his head at her and questioned, "What type of thoughts go around inside that mind of yours?"

He then added, "You are really gross!"

Those words of his made Soohyun widen her eyes, and she vocalised, "You are calling me gross? Heol! This is so unbelievable! Han Minhyun, can't you be a little more romantic!"

Shaking his head, he stated, "You have completely gone off bonkers. There is no use in me trying to talk to you further."

With those words, he continued to walk towards the front. Seeing this att.i.tude of Minhyun caused a chuckle to escape her mouth.

She yelled, "You should watch more dramas, Han Minhyun! You are extremely outdated, and I can recommend you—"

Before Soohyun could continue further, he turned back and vocalised, "No, thanks. I do not want to become as delusional as you."

"Delusional? Yah! Han Minhyun, just because you can insult me doesn't mean I can't, You Old Man!" Soohyun exclaimed while she ran behind him to catch up to him.

At that moment, something hit her. Because she was occupied the entire day, this completely slipped her mind. She recalled about what she had read in the book earlier, and looking down, she had no clue on how to bring that up to Minhyun.

Should she feign unawareness about the entire situation? That seemed like more of an appealing option to her. She did not want him to think that she was trying to pry into his past.

Sensing her emotions, Minhyun stopped in his steps, and turning back, he looked at her. Her mind seemed quite distracted as she took a step forward, and narrowing his eyes at her, he wondered about the reason behind her sudden change in emotions.

Pursing both of his lips together, he questioned, "What is the matter?"

Hearing his voice, she raised her head and said, "Huh? Ah! Nothing, I just started to think about something stupid."

A chuckle left her mouth after that, and extending her hand towards the back of her head, she rubbed it with her palm. She completely forgot on how Minhyun could see her emotions back then.

Something within her told her than Minhyun was convinced with those words of hers, but seeing how he nodded, she was aware that he wanted to give her some s.p.a.ce to herself.

She found herself being grateful towards him for that. In her opinion, things might turn out awkward if she brought it out in front of him when he was unwilling to talk regarding it.

As the both of them continued walking, Soohyun summoned her courage and vocalised, "Tonight— would you want to talk about all of this? I mean, it's alright if you are still hesitant though. I know that I act extremely childish and forceful at times, but ignore that side of mine. 

You can tell me whenever you want just as I have said before, and I think I will be fine even if you don't ever tell me about it. It is not that I don't care; it's just that—"

Before Soohyun could continue further, she felt Han Minhyun's lips on top of hers, and completely taken by surprise, she froze at that instant. Those words of hers were her honest thoughts.

Although she just read a paragraph, she had inkling how difficult things would have been for Minhyun. She recalled on how the Min Family has been killed, and considering how his brother was on the opposite side, it must be a really sour topic for Minhyun.

Remembering about all those time she tried to push him and whined at him, she felt guilt brew up within her.

Pulling away from the kiss, Minhyun flashed her a smile— a smile that reached his eyes completely— and said, "Don't be too hard on yourself. I have no problem in letting you in on the truth; I merely enjoy teasing you."

Soohyun scoffed at him and vocalised, "Geez! You s.a.d.i.s.t!"

"No, you are a little fool who easily gets provoked," Minhyun pointed.

Scrunching her nose at his words, she said, "It is not that I get easily provoked; it is merely me playing along with you since I don't want to hurt your pride."

Nodding his head, Minhyun stated, "Since I am a polite man who doesn't hurt the feelings of girls, I will pretend to believe you."

Letting out a scoff, she spoke out, "That line of yours is overrated; be as creative as me when it comes to making retort."

"Is the reason you always lose to me because you are creative?" Minhyun questioned.

Seeing the smirk on his face, she was desperate to slap it off of his face. Nonetheless, knowing that was not a possible option, she stuck out her tongue towards him before walking away from him.
