Chapter 86 - Come up [2] (2/2)
But that was not as easy it was to be said.
Despite of how he wanted to push the matter of Shin Daerin at the back of his head, he was not able to do it, and at the end, it began to plague his entire mind, making him continuously restless.
”The emotions you are growing towards Shin Daerin should be removed— both for your and her sake. Since it is not possible for them to do anything to do, Daerin will be exterminated if it is known to others,” Minhyun spoke out.
The cruel words from Han Minhyun caused Sookyung's eyes to widen due to shock, and his heart began to beat rapidly— most likely because of the fear.
Everyday, he was getting to learn of how his position could be frightening, and although he was finding it difficult to cope with it, it was not possible for him to give it up at this point.
”You don't need to worry about it. Whatever I feel towards Daerin, I will be sorting it out properly,” Sookyung said, ”Let's prepare for the things we will be doing later now.”

A yawn escaped from Moon Jiwoo's mouth as she opened her eyes, and feeling the softness beneath her, a wide smile formed on her face. It had been a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep.
Sitting up on the soft mattress, she stretched both of her arms, and as she looked at her surroundings, creases formed between both of her eyebrows when she realized that she did not recognize the place she was in.
Then the memory before she had lost her consciousness began to flood inside her mind, and she recalled on how Min Shihyuk was the reason behind it.
Confused on why Shihyuk would be doing such a action, Jiwoo got down from her bed, and remembering about how she had to inform Sookyung about the portal, a panic rose within Jiwoo.
She prayed that she was not late.
The door before her opened in that moment, and hearing the noise, she looked at that direction. A figure stepped into the room, and seeing Min Shihyuk, she made hurried steps towards him.
”Moon Jiwoo, you are finally awake,” he said, ”It seems that you were quite tired.”
”What did you do that for? Quick! We don't have time to waste. We have to inform— Wait! What did you call me?”
Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened when she realized that Sookyung addressed her as Jiwoo instead of Daerin, and confusion immediately appeared on her face at that.
How did he come to know about that?
”Oh! I did. Are you hungry?” he spoke out, ”I just made breakfast, and I will be setting it up for you. The washroom is there, so you can come out after washing up.”
With that, Min Shihyuk turned his back on Moon Jiwoo and was about to leave the room. But before he was able to do that, Jiwoo grabbed on to his arm and pulled him back.
Causing him to face her, she stared at him with a stern expression before questioning, ”How did you know of that name?”
Curving his lips to form a wider smile, Shihyuk answered, ”As I have mentioned to you before, I know everything about you, Moon Jiwoo.”
Although Jiwoo had more question to ask on that matter, she did not want waste her time right now and said, ”Let's not have breakfast now. Oh Sookyung is in danger, and we need to quickly go and rescue him.”
”Is there a need for you to do that?” Shihyuk asked.
His words caused for Jiwoo's eyes to widen. She did not expect for him to be this indifferent on it. Although he did not have any involvement with Sookyung, this attitude of his was too cold.
”What do you mean, Shihyuk? Of course, we need to do that or else his life will be in danger. We can't turn our back on that,” she said.
”You are not exactly that fond of the Prince, and all the actions you have done to protect him was due to those instincts you have. Seeing how far you're from him and since you don't know about his situation, your instincts will not be having any affect on you.
Whether or not he dies does not concern you, and only after he dies will you be able to live. Otherwise, sooner or later, you might end up sacrificing your life for him,” he voiced out, ”The Underworld doesn't concern you either. There is no reason for you to help Sookyung.”
