"Little Boy, it seems that you have powers as well," Soohyun voiced out.

"Yah! Don"t call me a little boy," Junghyun voiced out— irritation noticeable in his tone.

A smug smile formed on his face at that moment, and he continued, "Call me Master."

"Kim Junghyun," Soohyun enunciated with a wide smile on her face.

"Release me from this," Soohyun added, "If you don"t, I"ll be directly calling Han Minhyun."

"I"ll freeze your hand then," Junghyun stated whilst smirking.

"But if you agree to call me Master, then I"ll release you," Junghyun offered.

"Only that?" Soohyun sounded surprised.

"Sure, I have no problem with that, Master Junghyun. Can you release me now, Master Junghyun?" Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows.

"Yah! It shouldn"t be this easy. You should fight for your pride," Junghyun said as he slammed his hand on the wall.

A crack formed on the wall, and Soohyun"s eyes widened as she noticed that. A s.h.i.+ver went down her spine, and Soohyun made a note to herself to stay away from that hand of Junghyun.

"Didn"t I call you master already? Now, can you release me from this?" Soohyun questioned, "Don"t tell me you"re going to go back on your words?"

The boy"s eyes glared at Lee Soohyun. Nonetheless, he undid his actions, and Soohyun was free to move her legs again. The boy"s cheeks were puffed, and his bottom lip was protruded forward. 

Although Soohyun did not fancy the boy"s behaviour, she still had to admit that he was cute, and Soohyun had the nagging urge to pinch his chubby cheeks.

"Say, Dumb Woman, when is your trans.m.u.tation?" Kim Junghyun asked.

"Trans.m.u.tation?"

"Ask Minhyun, Master, because this humble one is not worthy enough to answer," Soohyun replied.

Lee Soohyun did not understand what Kim Junghyun was trying to imply, and therefore, it was better to not carelessly answer. Most definitely it was related to Han Minhyun"s secret that she was yet to find out.

As Lee Soohyun was about to walk away, she turned her head back and asked, "Oh yeah, Master, do you mind telling this Humble One where the library is? This Humble One is ignorant of that matter unfortunately."

Everytime Kim Junghyun heard the word "Humble One" from Lee Soohyun"s mouth, he felt as if he was being mocked, and irritation brewed up within him. He will definitely make the female in front of him suffer tenfold for the humiliation he had received from Han Minhyun.

"It"s the red coloured door on the other side of the mansion," Kim Junghyun replied. His eyes clearly showed the annoyance he felt, and Lee Soohyun knew that it was better for her to leave at this moment before matters got dangerous for her.

"Thanks."

As Soohyun continued to walk away, Kim Junghyun watched her distant back, and the size of his fingernails increased to look like sharp claws. Extending his hand towards Lee Soohyun, he was going to attack her when his hand was caught by someone.

Lee Soohyun turned back at that moment, and her eyes widened considerably after she saw the Butler holding Junghyun"s hand. What surprised her the most was not how the butler appeared here within less than a second; It was Junghyun"s extended claws.

Soohyun was not clueless to what could have happened. Kim Junghyun would have attacked her, and if it was not for the Butler, it would have been fatal. Minnie mentioned that she won"t die for a year; She did not say anything about Soohyun not getting hurt.

Lee Soohyun"s legs shook involuntarily, and her heart beat faster. s.h.i.+fting both of her legs closer together, Soohyun tried to calm herself. Soohyun was starting to see how serious and dangerous her situation was at that moment.

Soohyun clearly understood why Han Minhyun did not want her to pull out Kim Junghyun from that bas.e.m.e.nt. Kim Junghyun was a potential threat. This made Soohyun wonder on why he was staying at this mansion and made a note to ask Minhyun about it later on.

"Master Junghyun, it seems that you have forgotten words from the Master," The Butler voiced out— his eyes exuding a piercing look.

Turning towards Lee Soohyun, the butler put on a polite smile and bowed. Looking at his actions, Kim Junghyun scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"I apologise for the inconvenience, Mistress Jiwoo," The Butler spoke out, "You needn"t be afraid. Kim Junghyun won"t try to pull such attacks on you again."

"Minhyun"s devoted slave," Junghyun expressed out, "I wonder what he did to make you so loyal to him."

Soohyun was not in the mood to hear Kim Junghyun"s words, and before Han Minhyun arrived, Soohyun had to go to the library. What if he came and restricted her from entering into the library?

"It"s alright, but do you know where the library is?" Soohyun questioned.

"I was sort of bored and wanted to look around the library for a few books to read," Soohyun added with a polite smile.

If Kim Junghyun tried to attack her, that meant Lee Soohyun could not trust his words. Therefore, she decided to ask the butler as she did not want to get fooled and laughed at.

"I"ll take you there, Mistress," The Butler spoke out.

Kim Junghyun shoved his hands into his pocket, and with one last stare at Lee Soohyun, he walked back into the room. That glance of his made a.s.sured Soohyun that this will not be the last time he will be bullying her.

Soohyun internally sighed.

It would be foolish of her to think that she will be able to fight him with her current abilities, and after Han Minhyun came back, she would need to discuss this with Minhyun.

"Thank you, Butler…"

Soohyun realized that she was not aware of the Butler"s surname and stared at him for the answer. 

"I"m s.h.i.+n Woojin. You can call me Butler s.h.i.+n, Mistress," s.h.i.+n Woojin voiced out, "And about Master Junghyun, the next time you see him, Mistress, just run away. He is not a good news, and at times, I might be late appearing to your help."

Soohyun nodded.

"I"ll be doing that then," She replied.
