Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast

Chapter 178

"What do you want?" Hyesook questioned— annoyance was present within her tone.

Min Hyesook, Moon Jiwoo"s mother, was currently in her room, and frantically walking over to the door, she made sure that the door to the room was closed.

Her heart beat rapidly within her chest whilst her face had anxiety all over. Her hand trembled whilst she held onto the phone tightly as if her life depended upon it.

"Hyesook, I am coming over to meet up with you at the Moon Mansion," The man voiced out— his voice sounding gruff.

Hearing those words made Hyesook"s eyes widen, and with herself being close to panicking, she exclaimed, "Yah! What do you mean by that!? You promised to not show yourself here! Why are you doing this all of a sudden!?"

"We will talk tomorrow when I will be coming over," The man said nonchalantly before hanging up his call.

"Wait! Hold on! Don"t—"

Hearing a ringing sound, Hyesook had realized that the man had hung up the call from the other side, and with pure rage being visible on her face, she tightly gripped on to the phone in her hand.

Thinking about what could possibly happen tomorrow, Hyesook had fear welling up inside her. She most definitely can not let the truth come to surface regardless of what the cost is.

If the truth becomes known, she would be losing everything she had worked hard for, and taking in a deep breath, Hyesook patted on her heart in order to calm down its rapid beating speed.

"You managed all these years; You can do it tomorrow as well," Hyesook mumbled to herself.

After that exhausting trip to the hiking site, they were finally returning home. Soohyun had training early in the morning, and sitting at the back seat beside Han Minhyun, she placed her head on his shoulder.

Hw.a.n.g Yejoon was the one responsible for driving the car whilst Oh Jihoon sat beside him. Soohyun sat at the centre of Chaeyoung and Minhyun. 

She found herself feeling awkward around Chaeyoung after what had happened, and up until now, she barely held a proper conversation with Chaeyoung.

Closing her eyes, Soohyun found herself drifting into the sleep when she felt a hand on top of her head. Minhyun"s hand was rubbing her hair, and although she found it comforting, it was distracting.

As Minhyun"s hand moved against Soohyun"s hair at a steady pace, she found her heart beating rapidly within her chest, and being conscious of his presence, she had a hard time falling asleep.

"Stop doing that; I can"t fall asleep if you do that," Soohyun mumbled whilst being sure that Minhyun will perfectly be able to hear those words.

Regardless of those words of Lee Soohyun, Han Minhyun did not stop patting her head, and seeing that he wasn"t listening to her words, creases formed between both of her eyebrows.

Did he ignore her words or could it be that he did not hear her words?

"Minhyun-ah, please stop touching my hair. It is distracting," Soohyun voiced out whilst keeping her eyes shut.

Her hair, which was kept open, fell on her face, covering it by half. From the window, air occasionally blew in, flowing Soohyun"s hair.

"I thought this helped people sleep faster," He pointed out.

"It does help me fall asleep, but right now, I find it distracting."

"It doesn"t work the same for all people, Minhyun-ah. Now, can you let me sleep?" Soohyun stated.

"Why?" He questioned.

As Yejoon stopped driving duw to the traffic signal, he turned back to look at them, and whilst wearing a wide smile on his face, he stared at them as a teasing expression sat in his eyes.

"Isn"t it obvious, Hyung? It is because Jiwoo has feelings for you, and you doing this makes her feel nervous. Therefore, she can not fall asleep," Yejoon vocalised.

Shaking his head, Yejoon then added, "Aigoo! Hyung, you"re really dense. She is your fated one; You should know her feelings by now."

Hearing those words from Hw.a.n.g Yejoon"s mouth, Soohyun"s eyes widened, and shock was visible on her face whilst she sat up straight up on the car seat. 

Most definitely what Yejoon had just said is not the truth, and even if it was somewhat true, there was no many Soohyun was going to let other people grow aware of it. 

Even though Soohyun had said "I love you" to Han Minhyun multiple number of times, they were done with no meaning behind it, and it was different from confessing her honest feelings.

Showing a wide smile towards Hw.a.n.g Yejoon, Soohyun vocalised, "You seem to have a misunderstanding there, Yejoon-ah. The reason I can not fall asleep is because I have feelings for him, but it is because I do not like others touching my hair."

"Sure, but why are your eyes glaring at me, Jiwoo?" Hw.a.n.g Yejoon questioned whilst raising one of his eyebrows. Judging from his expression, Soohyun could very well see that he was mocking her.

"No, that"s not the case. You seem to have forgotten, Yejoon, but this is how I always look. Anyway, it seems that the signal had opened.

You better concentrate on driving rather than irrelevant matters. I do not wish to be involved in a car accident," Soohyun voiced out.

"Seeing how shy you"re being, I"ll spare you this time around, Jiwoo-ah, but good luck! Hyung doesn"t fall in love that easily," Yejoon stated.

Although Soohyun had the nagging urge to beat him up, she held in her temper and tried her best to keep on a sweet expression.

Whilst maintaining her composure, she vocalised, "Don"t worry about that part, Yejoon-ah. I have perfect ways to make your Hyung fall—"

Before Lee Soohyun could continue, Han Minhyun wrapped his hand around her head and placed it upon his shoulder. Then, in a nonchalant tone, he vocalised, "Just sleep. I won"t do it this time."

Then, glancing towards Hw.a.n.g Yejoon, he ordered, "Concentrate on driving."
