Chapter 70 - Youre Really Dull (1/2)

Hearing the cries from the kid, Lee Soohyun was stuck on what to do. Although Han Minhyun told her to stay put, she could turn her back on a small kid crying out for help.

”Please, someone, come and help me. This hurts so much. It hurts badly. Please help me get away from this.”

Lee Soohyun bit her lips after hearing the heart wrenching cries from the child, and this made her remember about her childhood. Although Lee Soohyun did not involve such types of emotions whilst making decisions, she let out a deep breath.

”Help me please! This really hurt. Please help me.”

'Let Han Minhyun scold or glare at me. That's the only thing he can do, and it's not like I'm doing anything bad. I'll just honestly answer him, and if he wants to punish me, I'll just cry a river.'

Without a second thought, Lee Soohyun ran towards the direction of the cries. As Lee Soohyun went closer to where the voice originated from, she felt that the noises from the cries were starting to get faint.

Lee Soohyun noticed that she was at one corner of the mansion, and looking around, she tried to spot any kid. There was no one there, and the sounds of the cries stopped. Complete silence surrounded her.

”Little kid, where are you?” Lee Soohyun called out.

Hearing no reply, Lee Soohyun decided to asked again.

”Little kid, where are you?”

This time as well, Soohyun received no reply, and looking down, Soohyun noticed a small door on the floor.

'Could it be that the kid was inside that?'

Nonetheless, Soohyun did not advance towards that. There was a possibility of the kid being found since there was no more replies now, and the door looked to be something Soohyun should be careful of.

As Lee Soohyun was about to turn her back, she heard the same voice cry out again.

”Help! I'm down here! Quick! I'm having a hard time breathing,” The childish voice spoke out again.

”Just help up the kid and that's all, Soohyun. Out of all people, you can not turn your back on a kid desperate for help.”

Garnering up all her courage, Lee Soohyun walked towards the direction of the door. Kneeling down, Lee Soohyun pulled open the door completely. There was a series of stairs beneath her, and at the bottom of the stairs, Soohyun could see light.

”Are you under here, kid?” Soohyun called out.

”Yes,” The kid answered, ”Can you help me up, Noona? I'm really scared.”

Wanting to be careful, Soohyun asked, ”Little kid, I'll help you up, but can you say what all is there beside you?”

”Oh! Beside me, Noona? There are lots of bottles,” The kid replied.

”Must be the wine cellar,” Soohyun muttered to herself.

”I'm coming down, Kid. Count down from one to twenty, and you'll see that Noona is with you. Don't be scared,” Soohyun spoke out.

Sobbing, the kid voiced out, ”Thank you very much, Noona.”
