Chapter 70 - Youre Really Dull (2/2)

Getting down, Soohyun stepped on the stairs, and carefully, she went down the stairs. Thinking that she will be scared due to the height, Soohyun did not look down.

Internally, Soohyun prayed hard for Han Minhyun to not find out about this.

Her surroundings were starting to get brighter, and as Soohyun was almost on the last step, Soohyun turned around. There was no kid here as well, and jumping back to stand on the floor, Soohyun looked all around her.

The door above closed all of a sudden, and Soohyun jumped back at that. Her eyes widened in horror. Stepping up the stairs, Soohyun tried to push the door up. However, that was of no use; The door wouldn't open.

'C-Could it be that there are really ghosts here?'

Lee Soohyun shuddered at the thought at that, and pushing on the door frantically, Lee Soohyun prayed that someone would hear her. She did not mind facing Han Minhyun's wrath.

Sweat started to form at her forehead due to how anxious she felt, and opening her mouth, she yelled out, ”Is there anyone out there? Help! I'm stuck here!”

”No one will hear your cries. Even if they do, they will ignore it.”

Startled by the voice, Lee Soohyun almost lost her balance. Holding on the stair in front of her, Soohyun regained her stability. A sigh of relief left her mouth.

There was someone at this place, and Lee Soohyun could ask that person for help. That person could have come here after hearing the kid's cries.

Unable to properly see who the person was, Lee Soohyun got down the stairs. Turning back with a soft smile on her face, Soohyun saw a boy, who looked to be around nine, standing in front of her.

The boy had messy brown hair, and a mocking smile sat on his face. His hands were tucked into his pockets, and he looked to be the type of be a trouble maker.

”Were you the one who called for help?” Soohyun asked, ”Are you alright?”

Bending down to his height, Soohyun smiled at the boy in front of her. Soohyun was not oblivious to the hostile and mocking expression on the boy's face. Nonetheless, she decided to pay no attention to it.

The kid stepped towards Lee Soohyun, and the sneer on his face became more evident. Walking towards Soohyun, the kid held a few strands of her hair and raised them.

”I call out for help regularly, but you're the only fool who fell for them,” The boy spoke out before pulling Lee Soohyun's hair and releasing them.

Feeling the sharp pain that went through her head, Soohyun pushed back her hair. Trying her best to hide the irritation and frustration she currently felt, Soohyun asked, ”Little boy, do you know a way out of here?”

The boy stared at Soohyun with a bored expression and spoke out, ”Do you think I'd be here for a year if I knew a way out?”

Shock filled Soohyun after hearing the boy's words. However, realizing that the boy could be pulling her leg, Soohyun wore a friendly expression. No matter how he acted, the boy in front of her was a kid, and if she as an adult was scared, then the kid must be scared as well.

Taking out her phone, Lee Soohyun decided to call Han Minhyun when the boy said, ”You won't be getting any network.”

After turning on her screen, Soohyun realized that the boy was right. Soohyun let out a despondent sigh at that. Now, she had to wait for Han Minhyun to find her.

'Yay! I have to hear him scolding me for three hours and be punished. '

”For Han Minhyun's wife, you're really dull,” The boy commented.
