"What I am saying you is really one of the secrets, and regardless of what happens, you can not let it be known to anyone," Minhyun voiced out.

Soohyun nodded before commenting, "It"s nice to see you trust me."

"It is merely the fact that you would run into trouble if I don"t explain everything clearly to you," Minhyun vocalised.

Scrunching her nose, she said, "Geez! You make it seem like as if I am some naive and inexperienced kid."

Letting out a chuckle, Minhyun questioned, "Soohyun, do you remember how we got attacked in the apartment last time?"

Soohyun nodded. That was the beginning of everything and wasn"t something she could forget that easily.

"The reason we were attacked was due to the barrier around the apartment breaking, and I suspect that one of the Leaders were involved. Of course, until this point, it is merely a suspicion. The Blue Clan could have developed some powerful techniques to break through the barrier as well.

By strengthening the barrier around the mansion and connecting myself with it, I want to judge who my opponent is. Connecting oneself with the barrier allows them to feel the degree and type of attack the barrier is put under. 

If it is one of the Leaders, I would know who it is when they attack the barrier. According to my plans, immediately after the barrier is attacked and is about to break through, I will be removing the barrier to prevent my death. That must be done accurately. A millisecond of slip might cause my death."

"Heol! We are truly opposite. I would never have the courage to do such a thing. So, basically, you connected yourself with the barrier to find out who the bad guy is, and when the barrier is attacked, you"ll remove it in the initial stages so that you wouldn"t die. 

It is risky and suicidal in my opinion. However, since I have given my word, I will protect unless or until I have to run for my life in the last second. Sorry but my life comes before yours," Soohyun vocalised.

"I"ll trust you in this since I can sense the sincerity. However, be ready to practice until you drop dead," Minhyun voiced out.

Letting out a chuckle, she said, "Hey! Don"t go that hard on me or else there will be no one to protect you."

"Since you cried for me today, I will leave you alone today," Minhyun vocalised.

Extending her hand towards him, Soohyun hugged him, and wearing a bright smile on her hand, she laid her head down upon his chest.

She then voiced out, "That sounds like a nice deal. I will cry for you everytime then. Tears fall like waterfall from my eyes whenever I need it."

"Do you think I don"t know it?" Minhyun questioned.

Soohyun let out a chuckle whilst closing her eyes. Minhyun"s chest felt truly comfortable, and raising his hand, Minhyun patted her on the head gently, causing her to go to sleep.

Feeling someone shake her shoulder, Soohyun let out a groan. She was having a really good dream, and truly she did not appreciate the one who was attempting to disturb it.

"Wake up, Lee Soohyun. Didn"t you say yesterday that you"ll be training hard to protect me?" Minhyun vocalised whilst his voice held an undertone of tease

"When did I promise something like that? You must have been daydreaming. Now, let me go back to sleep," Soohyun said as she let out a loud yawn.

"If you don"t wake up at the count of three, Soohyun, I am going to pour cold water upon you," Minhyun threatened.

Letting out a loud groan, she sat up on the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. Feeling the tangles within her hair, she felt more annoyed. At this point, she was really tempted to shorten this hair of hers. While sleeping, Soohyun gradually removed her layers of clothing as the temperature within the room increased.

Glancing at the clock, Soohyun noticed that it was four in the morning, and turning towards Minhyun, she vocalised, "I know I said I will be protecting you, but that doesn"t mean you should wake me up this early. I barely had two or three hours of sleep."

"Taking in the amount of supplements you"re being fed, you wouldn"t die or faint from lack of sleep. Now, time to keep your promise," Minhyun said, "Get up!"

"Heol! I am really starting to regret it," Soohyun mumbled as she threw the blanket off of her leg.

A chill went down her spine when she placed her bare feet on the cold times, and she shuddered. Soohyun found herself being lucky for she did not catch a cold after all this.

"After freshening up, dress warmly. You"re exposed to enough cold temperature yesterday, and I don"t want you to have another excuse for skipping training by catching a cold," Minhyun vocalised.

Soohyun nodded.

Placing his hands into his pockets, Ahn Eunwoo walked into the building. Unlike his usual gentle expression, a cold and nonchalant expression sat upon his face. 

In front of Eunwoo laid a deserted floor. Wooden materials thrown all around the floor, and a broken door laid at one corner of the room. Dust and spider webs covered the place.

A stairway was present in front of Eunwoo, and walking towards it, Eunwoo stepped on it. The size of the stairs were random, and they creaked under his weight.

As he finally stood on the second floor, Eunwoo walked towards a door, and taking out a card, he inserted it into the scanner beside the door. A green light appeared at the scanner.

Pulling back his card, he turned the k.n.o.b and pushed the door forward. Stepping into the room, Eunwoo closed the door behind him.

A desk was present in the room in front of Eunwoo, and a man sat behind that desk. His long brown hair appeared messy, and stubbles could be seen across his face. A white s.h.i.+rt with various colourful print was worn by him.

"You"re finally here. The old man was getting crazy," He voiced out.
