Chapter 73 - Talk About Happy Matters (1/2)
”Are you feeling sleepy?” Han Minhyun questioned.
'When you're being like this, do you think that I would dare to fall asleep?'
”Not much, Hubby. It's just that I am tired from work,” Soohyun answered softly.
”Then, tell me about what goes against those morals of yours,” Han Minhyun commanded— his voice sounding domineering.
With her mind being out of excuses, Lee Soohyun— after careful consideration— answered, ”Abandoning a kid when the kid needs help, cheaters, and, um, stealing?”
By Soohyun's tone, it seemed that she was unsure of her answer, and noticing how she sounded, Soohyun gave a shy smile to Han Minhyun. Soohyun went against her morals a lot of times in the past due to certain circ.u.mstances and, therefore, wasn't sure of what to exactly answer with.
”Are you confident with your answer?” Han Minhyun asked sternly.
Noticing his dark eyes, Lee Soohyun bit her lips. Soohyun felt that those eyes of his could look through her completely— as if she was completely exposed to him— and her wariness increased by a lot.
'This man is dangerous!'
”Hubby, can I answer you tomorrow? I'm not exactly sure of the answer at this moment,” Soohyun voiced out honestly.
”Alright,” Minhyun spoke out.
He then continued, ”So, because it was against your morals, you decided to save the boy despite my warning?”
Lee Soohyun nodded confidently and said, ”Yes.”
”I'll take you back there and lock you in the bas.e.m.e.nt,” Han Minhyun spoke out, ”If you want to be such a righteous person, you should go through the consequences of your actions.”
The confident look on Soohyun's face had a crack in it, and, with much difficulty, Soohyun forced out a smile on her face.
”What did you just say, Hubby?” Soohyun questioned.
”I warned you, but despite that, you entered into the bas.e.m.e.nt because of those morals of yours. Since your morals are more important than my words, shouldn't you be enjoying the result of your morals?” Han Minhyun concluded. A smirk sat on his face.
'Lee Soohyun, you only have two options now. Cry and beg him for forgiveness or stand up for yourself.'
When Soohyun's bottom lip started quivering, Minhyun added, ”If you start with your annoying crying act, then I'll lock you up there with rats.”
Lee Soohyun shuddered. Her history with rats was not something Soohyun wanted to recall or repeat.
'The first option is not doable. That means I need to stand up for myself in a cute way and not act wild.'
”Hubby,” Soohyun spoke out.
A resolute look sat on her face whilst Soohyun stood up. Although she was shaking internally under Minhyun's gaze, she knew that she had to do it.
'You've seen in dramas how the cute fools who try to stand up for themselves only to fail are preferred by the male leads and the villains. Let's take that approach now instead of acting like the pitiful character. You've seen how crying doesn't work and makes him go against you more, so delete that method.'
