Lee Soohyun was in no mood with the boy's words, and opening her mouth, Lee Soohyun yelled out, "Is there anyone out there? Help me! I'm stuck at here! Help!"

"Stop yelling! It's seriously annoying," The boy voiced out, "Han Minhyun will notice you gone and come to search for you here, you scaredy cat. I can't believe a man like Han Minhyun is fated to be with you."

Hugging her knees, Lee Soohyun sat down on the floor. The room she was currently stuck at was empty and had dark red walls around it. Soohyun did not dare explore further into the room. The boy stood in front of her.

Leaning against the wall, the boy folded his arms across his chest and stared at Lee Soohyun boredly. Finally, he had a chance of getting out of this place, and even if he did not like the woman in front of him, he knew that she would be useful to him. As a result, despite her connection to Han Minhyun, he spared her.

Raising her head, Lee Soohyun looked and asked, "Little boy, what's your name?"

"Someone as dumb as you doesn't deserve to know, and don't you dare call me little boy," The boy answered arrogantly.

Soohyun did not dare scold the boy or retort back to him for she still was not sure of his status. She did not want to make the mistake of offending someone of high status.

Soohyun shrugged her shoulders.

"When did you get trapped here?" Soohyun questioned.

"Are you seriously a moron? I have mentioned to you before that it was a year before," The boy spoke out with irritation noticeable in his tone.

'As if I'd believe that, you spoiled brat!'

Deciding that it was useless to talk with the kid further, Lee Soohyun leaned her head against the wall and waited for Han Minhyun to arrive. Her body was tired, and drowsiness was catching up on her. 

Looking at the sleeping woman in front of him, the boy rolled his eyes. Stepping closer to her, the boy bought his face nearer to Lee Soohyun. As he was about to raise his hand, Soohyun held his hand tightly.

A confused expression sat on her face whilst she looked at the boy in front of her. She had closed her eyes for around three minutes, and when she felt getting nearer to her, she opened them.

"Did you need something?" Soohyun asked.

The boy forcefully drew back his hand. A mixture of anger, arrogance, and irritation could be seen in his eyes. He wanted to make a scratch on the woman's face and see what Han Minhyun's reaction would be. 

Han Minhyun's wife was completely vulnerable at this moment. If it was not for the fact that he currently needs her help, he would have slowly tortured her and enjoyed the helpless look on Han Minhyun's face.

"Where is he currently?" Han Minhyun asked as both he and the butler walked down the stairs.

"I have managed to lock him in the bas.e.m.e.nt with an ancient spell. Unless or until someone pulls him up, he won't be able to leave," The butler answered.

Han Minhyun nodded.

"Master, about Mistress, when will you be telling her? The leaders are anxious and wants to meet her," The butler voiced out.

"Let them be," Minhyun answered, "This does not concern those nosy old men. Involving her in this would only ruin everything."

Han Minhyun stepped on the level floor. When he walked forward, Han Minhyun noticed that there was no one present. Walking quickly, he looked around and spotted no signs of her.

"Search for Moon Jiwoo," Minhyun ordered. 

Anger and irritation could be perceived from his tone. Even after specifically telling her to stay put, she did not listen. After he found her, he will surely be giving her an appropriate punishment, so that, she won't be disobedient again.

Her surroundings were starting to get colder, and Lee Soohyun s.h.i.+vered due to the decrease in temperature. It probably has been around an hour and half, and there was no sign of anyone rescuing her yet. If it was not for the freezing temperature, Lee Soohyun would have long fallen asleep.

All of a sudden, when Lee Soohyun heard footsteps above of her, a smile formed on her face. Hope increased within her, and walking up the series of stairs quickly, Lee Soohyun knocked on the door.

"Hubby, is it you? I'm down here."

The boy unfolded his hand and stared at the door. 

'Finally, they came.'

"Moon Jiwoo."

Hearing her name being called, the smile on Soohyun's face got brighter and wider. Never did she think Han Minhyun's voice would bring that much happiness to her.

"I'll be opening the door, but you'll be coming up alone. Don't bring anything or anyone with you," Han Minhyun spoke out in a domineering tone.

Lee Soohyun found Han Minhyun's choice of words strange. Nonetheless, she did not dare question it knowing how frequently his mood can change.

"Sure," Soohyun answered.

Soohyun felt someone tug at the coat, and looking down, Soohyun noticed that it was the little boy. Unlike the arrogance that sat on his face, there was a cute and pleading expression.

'Wow! This kid is better than me when it comes to changing expressions!'

"Noona, don't leave me here alone. Can you hold my hand, Noona? I am scared," The boy voiced out softly with his bottom lip quivering.

Soohyun decided to make no comment on his sudden change of behavior and decided to hold his hand. What can go wrong holding a nine year old's hand? 

The boy's eyes lit up with a glint when Soohyun's hand wrapped against his, and he held on to her hand tightly. The girl in front of him was very easy to fool.

As the door in front of her opened, a hand was extended down. Realizing that hand belonged to Han Minhyun, Lee Soohyun accepted it even though she did not understand the purpose of him letting down his hand. She was able to get up on her own. Nonetheless, as usual, she did not question.

As Han Minhyun pulled her up, Lee Soohyun finally came up the surface. Holding Lee Soohyun's other hand was the boy. Due to Soohyun's body hiding the boy, Han Minhyun was unable to see him.

When Lee Soohyun sat on the tiled floor, she let out a sigh of relief, and noticing whose hand Soohyun was holding, Minhyun eyes widened slightly.
