"My back!" Lee Soohyun groaned.

A sharp ache went through her back as Soohyun sat down on the chair whilst muttering curses towards Minhyun. A part of her was sure that this was because of how she teased him yesterday.

The training today was too violent, in Soohyun"s opinion, for her, and after how Minhyun had slammed her, Soohyun felt as if she was lucky to have no broken bones. Even though she was a girl and his wife, he held no mercy towards her.

"Sister-in-law, you look to be in a bad state," Yejoon commented.

"I am close to dying, Yejoon. Minhyun is too heartless," Soohyun vocalised as she placed her head on top of the table.

Currently it was time for breakfast. Hw.a.n.g Yejoon and Lee Soohyun sat beside the dining table whilst waiting for Minhyun and Junghyun. 

Soohyun complained, "He flipped me twice today and harshly. I felt as if my body was close to shattering, and then, he threw me countless number of times. Instead of being a training situation, it seemed more as if I was being used as a punching bag. 

How can he be so rough towards such a beautiful and weak girl like me? The first thing I will do when I get strong is break those bones of his and flip him multiple number of times until he cries for mercy."

Hearing her words, laughs left Yejoon"s mouth before he said, "When I trained with Hyung, I felt the same way as you. Hyung was gifted. That"s why, he learned things faster than us and therefore, all of us saw Hyung as our teacher. However, later on, all of us regretted it."

Raising her head to stare at Yejoon, Soohyun whined, "Is there any likeable side to Minhyun?"

"The fact that he would do anything to protect the people he treasures? Once he treasures you, you don"t need to be scared of anything out there because Hyung will protect you," Yejoon voiced out.

"You seem to be a devoted follower of Minhyun it seems. Too bad, I wouldn"t ever know whether or not he truly likes me," Soohyun mumbled. 

The last sentence sounded sour to her and left an ache at Soohyun"s heart. The fact that she found herself feeling so despondent over this confused Soohyun.

"Don"t look so sad, Jiwoo. Hyung definitely likes you," Yejoon vocalised.

Shaking her head, Soohyun forced out a smile on her face, and raising her head, she looked towards Hw.a.n.g Yejoon. As a feigned sparkle appeared in her eyes, Soohyun vocalised, "That sounds great!"

"I am not bluffing, Jiwoo. Hyung really does. He is really gentle and carefree with you. He wouldn"t have done that if he did not like you or was comfortable around you," Yejoon voiced out.

Hearing the words from Yejoon, the smile on her face stretched further, and all the memories of how Minhyun was caring to her flooded to her mind. 

Hw.a.n.g Yejoon then added, "Of course, this doesn"t mean whether or not he likes you platonically or not."

Soohyun scoffed, and feeling better in her heart, she looked towards Yejoon. Giving him a wide smile, Soohyun vocalised, "Enough about Minhyun; Let"s talk about you now."

"Me? What does this Beauty want to know about me?" Hw.a.n.g Yejoon raised one of his eyebrows.

"What are you doing at this mansion?" Soohyun questioned.

Without knocking on the door beforehand, Kim Junghyun turned the k.n.o.b and stepped into Minhyun"s office. The door behind Junghyun closed as he entered into the office.

Shutting his laptop, Han Minhyun raised his line of sight to look towards Junghyun, and as his eyes stared at him fiercely, Junghyun questioned, "What is going on recently."

"Nothing much. Just the usual attacks," Minhyun answered nonchalantly.

Slamming his hand down on Minhyun"s table, Kim Junghyun exclaimed, "Don"t give me that c.r.a.p! I know that there is something going on, and you"re hiding from me. If you f.u.c.king don"t tell me what I happening, I will rush outside the mansion to find out about everything."

Staring at Junghyun boredly, Minhyun answered, "You"ll die if you do so."

Letting out a dry chuckle, Junghyun rolled his eyes, and whilst arrogance being noticeable in his tone, he said, "Han Minhyun, do you f.u.c.king think that matters to me?! As long as I can strangle that horrible piece of s.h.i.+t, I don"t care whether or not I live."

"Calm yourself down, Junghyun. Do you think you"ll be able to harm him at this state? You wouldn"t even be able to scratch him," Minhyun voiced out.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You"re the one responsible for this side of mine!" Junghyun slammed his hand down on Minhyun"s table.

Han Minhyun simply let out a sigh.

"I apologize for that," Minhyun vocalised, "But regardless of what you do, I won"t release you from this state, and if you try to leave this mansion, I will put a thicker barrier around the mansion."

Hearing Han Minhyun"s words, Junghyun felt anger within him rise and kicked Minhyun"s table harshly. The things on top of the table shook as he did so.

"If you are thinking yourself to be a saint after doing all this, then you"re wrong," Junghyun spatted, "Han Minhyun, you are merely a puppet who is being played around by others. You can"t even take your own decisions. So, who are you to control me?"

Turning his back on Minhyun, Junghyun walked away, and before leaving the room, he mumbled, "Pathetic."

After the door slammed closed, Han Minhyun held his forehead and tried to ease the ache. He needed to being everything under control before they got messy.

Taking out his phone, Minhyun turned it on and swiped across the screen. When he noticed a number, Minhyun"s finger stopped, and he called the number.

Placing the phone closer to his ear, Han Minhyun ordered, "Butler s.h.i.+n, can you get to my office within few minutes? It is an emergency."

Saying that, Han Minhyun hung up the call and placed the phone on top of the table. Many thoughts filled his mind.
