"You don"t miss a chance to ask for rewards," Minhyun expressed.

"Well, by not prying into you personally affairs when I obviously could have, don"t you think you owe me something? After all, I made such a sacrifice for you. 

At this moment, do you know how much curiosity is killing me? I am sure you can sense it, but I resisted. So, in my opinion, I deserve a reward. Moreover, if I am rewarded, I might be more of a good girl in the future," Soohyun vocalised.

Minhyun"s eyes showed feigned surprise and amazement as he voiced out, "Wow! Lee Soohyun, you really know how to be shameless at times."

Lee Soohyun winked and expressed, "It"s one of the parts to growing up. You"ll slowly learn."

A mocking smile sat on Minhyun"s face whilst he vocalised, "I don"t think I want to ever learn. You see, unlike you, I can get them without being shameless."

Soohyun scoffed and commented, "So arrogant!"

"Since you"re that privileged, you sure wouldn"t mind granting one little wish of mine. Don"t you feel pity after looking at me?" Soohyun added.

"Fine. However, that depends on whatever that wish is," Minhyun said.

"Nice, this is how I like you the best. Continue being this way, and I might fall for you in just few days," Soohyun vocalised.

A mocking expression sat on Minhyun"s face as he questioned, "What will I do with your love?"

Hearing the words from Minhyun, a chuckle escaped Soohyun"s lips, and she said, "Since you don"t need it, fine. I did not want to give it away that easily either. It"s just that seeing how no girl looks at you in that kind of way, I felt pity for you."

"Anyway, I want to meet up with Chaeyoung," Soohyun said, "And want to go out."

Minhyun questioned, "After all that you faced the other day?"

A wide smile appeared on Soohyun"s face as she stated, "Be my bodyguard then, Minhyun-ah. You did a great job protecting me the other day. You can"t go back on your word and refuse this."

Han Minhyun pointed out, "I said it depends on what the request is."

"Minhyun-ah, I promise to diligently go through the training and wouldn"t voice out a word of complain. Moroever, I am already "foolish" as you say, and if I continue to stay indoors like this, I might turn more stupid. Studies had shown that—"

Interrupting Soohyun, Minhyun said, "Fine, I will take you out. However, only for an hour or two. Not much longer."

A wide smile appeared on her face while she said, "Deal! Make sure to invite Chaeyoung along too."

"Why do you need to take her along?" Minhyun asked.

Afraid that she will give away her true feelings if she replied with words, Soohyun winked and yawned.

"Ais.h.!.+ I am really sleepy now. Let"s talk in the morning," Soohyun vocalised as she walked towards the direction of the bed.

Laying down on the bed, Soohyun pulled the blanket to cover herself and closed her eyes. Han Minhyun slightly shook his head at the girl in front of him.

Yawning, Lee Soohyun opened her eyes and saw Minhyun sleeping in front of her. Usually Minhyun woke up before her, and staring at the clock, Soohyun read the time. It was around eleven in the morning, and Soohyun"s eyes showed shock.

"Han Minhyun, wow! You broke your schedule today," Soohyun mumbled.

Watching his sleeping face, a smile formed on her face. His face appeared to look extremely peaceful. Soohyun found herself scanning Minhyun"s facial features, and her eyes then fell upon his thin lips.

His lips were finely shaped, and Soohyun had the urge to place her lips upon his. Soohyun extended her hand towards him and touched his cheeks. His skin felt quite soft to the touch, and wearing a smirk on her face, Lee Soohyun decided to poke it.

Lee Soohyun was surprised when Minhyun opened his eyes all of a sudden and stared at her boredly. Opening his mouth, Minhyun asked, "What are you doing?"

Trying hard to not be at Minhyun"s morning voice, Soohyun poked Minhyun"s cheeks once again and showed him a wide smile. She then vocalised, "Wow! Minhyun, your cheeks are quite squishy."

"Remove your finger," Minhyun ordered. 

His icy cold voice caused chills to go down Soohyun"s spine, and she immediately drew back her hand. Soohyun noted that Minhyun did not prefer his cheeks being poked neither did he like his cheeks being called squishy.

Forcing a smile towards Minhyun, Soohyun said, "You don"t have to be so grumpy so early in the morning."

As Han Minhyun sat up, Lee Soohyun pushed her palms on the bed and did the same. Leaning against the headboard of the bed, Soohyun looked at Minhyun.

Then, Soohyun voiced out, "Minhyun-ah, I wanted to ask about what you did to Hyunae. Is she alive?"

Han Minhyun nodded his head and questioned, "Do you want to visit her?"

Soohyun"s eyes brightened up, and she vocalised, "Oh! Really? I can."

"If you"re not in fear of being traumatized, then I don"t see a problem with you visiting," Minhyun stated.

Lee Soohyun was somewhat curious on what Minhyun had done to Hyunae, and now that he was permitting her to see Hyunae, Soohyun would not definitely refuse. As for being traumatized, Soohyun believed that this is the best way for her to learn to adapt in this new world.

"Don"t worry! Someone like me doesn"t get traumatized that easily," Soohyun said, "And since you"re my husband now, I will accept you regardless of how crooked you are."

"Alright then. I"ll take you to visit her later on. You do know that you have training to do tonight, and this will not apply as an excuse to skip training," Minhyun pointed.

"Ais.h.!.+ Minhyun, what do you take me for? Of course, I won"t be skipping training over this," Soohyun voiced out whilst smiling towards Minhyun.

"You better keep your words, Lee Soohyun, or else I will torture you worse than Hyunae."

Lee Soohyun chuckled and pointed out, "You always say that, Dear Husband, but both of us know that you don"t have the heart to do so."

"You"ll see whether or not I have the heart to do—"

Lee Soohyun interrupted Minhyun with a peck on his lips and vocalised, "Minhyun, you don"t scare me with your threats anymore."

Lee Soohyun winked.

Leaning his face closer to Soohyun"s, Minhyun gave her a frightening smile— which is capable of causing s.h.i.+vers to go down someone"s spine— and said, "Let"s see about everything at the training session today. Alright, Dear Wife?"

Lee Soohyun felt a chill go down the spine at that instant, and the hair on the body stood up whilst she tried her hardest to maintain a calm expression.
