Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 173 - Too Flawed

Staring at the door of the inn, Chaeyoung watched the rain droplets fall slowly on the ground and lamented. A part of her wanted to run into that rain and wash away that sadness she felt.

Oh Chaeyoung knew that she was wrong. She was sent to the battleground, and before entering into the battleground, she was perfectly armoured. Ways her enemy could make her lose were known to her yet she lost.

Chaeyoung knew that she had no one to blame. When Minhyun looked for her, she immediately agreed to take on the job despite knowing what this job would require for her to do.

Chaeyoung let out a sigh as the scent of the rain invaded her nostrils. The greenery in front of her was vaguely visible due to the low lighting, and she couldn't see more than a few metres. The sky was dark, and silence surrounded all around.

Footsteps interrupted that silence, and she took no effort to turn back. Her heart beat rapidly within her chest as she had an inkling on who it could be.

Feeling his presence, she wanted to turn back and be angry at him for being this late. She craved for him to explain everything to her, and a part of her was desperate to keep this facade on.

However, Chaeyoung did not crumble and maintained on a nonchalant expression. Although her heart ached, she managed to keep the emotions from showing up in her eyes.

She recalled about Han Minhyun, and for this emotions of hers, she did not want to betray Minhyun. Taking in a deep breath, Chaeyoung turned back to look towards Eunwoo.

It seemed that he had taken a bath, and water dripped down his wet hair. A towel was placed around his neck whilst an indecipherable look sat in his eyes. There was a thick, dense wall around him, and a foolish part of Chaeyoung thought that she'll be able to penetrate through that wall around him.

"You weren't shocked," Chaeyoung enunciated.

Her eyes showed an array of emotions whilst they stared upon him. Narrowing her eyes at him, she tried to decipher the emotions which was shown in his eyes. Nervousness brewed up within her.

She was met with silence from him. Ahn Eunwoo stepped closer to Chaeyoung and stood beside her. His eyes stared upon the sky above him.

"From when did you know about it?" She asked whilst she looked at his side profile.

In her opinion, Ahn Eunwoo looked extremely lonely at this moment, and urge to comfort him brewed up within Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung wanted to argue that her feelings for Eunwoo were real; They weren't there due to his abilities. 

However, she wasn't sure whether or not they were due to the influence of his powers. Every second she spent with him was memorable to him, and no matter how hard she tried, Chaeyoung wouldn't be able to erase those away.

"Beginning," Eunwoo answered, "Han Minhyun's plan was too flawed."

Letting out a sigh, Chaeyoung voiced out, "Flaws— he left those on purpose."

Hearing those words from her, laugh escape from his mouth, and he said, "Han Minhyun is too predictable."

"Aren't you as well? Isn't that why he sent me to you?" Chaeyoung pointed out.

"Han Minhyun is doing a very big mistake by not considering me his enemy. He is truly underestimating me, and this is going to bite him in the back," Eunwoo said.

"You very well know that he is not underestimating you; You just prefer things to be that way," Chaeyoung voiced out before turning her back on him. It was too painful for her to stare at him at this moment.

Eunwoo scoffed and sarcastically stated, "You are doing a nice job by pretending to know me."

Waking up, Soohyun realized that the constant noises from the rain had stopped, and as she sat up on her bed, she realized that Jihoon and Yejoon had left. 

Pus.h.i.+ng the blanket off of her, she placed her foot on the foot, and feeling the coldness, a s.h.i.+ver went through her spine. Nonetheless, stepping on the floor, she walked towards the direction of the door.

Turning the k.n.o.b, she realized that the door was unlocked, and pulling the door open, she walked out of the room after slipping on the shoes. Rubbing both of her hands together, she looked around for any signs of anyone.

She wondered where Minhyun and the rest of them could be. As silence surrounded her, dread settled in within her, and she truly did not like this atmosphere. It reminded her of something out of a horror movie.

Somewhat expecting a ghost or zombie to pop out of nowhere, Soohyun was wary of her surroundings, and she mumbled, "Soohyun, you are already involved with Vampires. How scarier can ghost or zombie be?"

Nonetheless, her heart beat rapidly within her chest, and adrenaline began to intensify within her. Soohyun was ready to run if something happened.

Her eyes widened when she noticed that the light above her was flickering, and she wondered about when did the inn become so big. There was no one in her sight. 

That's when, Soohyun felt someone grab her hand, and from the presence alone, she knew that this person wasn't Minhyun. Before she could turn back and react to what was happening, the light went off, turning the entire place dark.

In her dark, Soohyun felt her back being slammed against a hard surface, and feeling the rush of adrenaline within her, she let out a scream. Pus.h.i.+ng away the person in front of her with all her might, she attempted to run away from the person holding her.

Nonetheless, before she could successfully escape, the man held her hand and pushed her against the same surface again. The electricity came back, and the dim light turned on again.

Under the dim lighting, Soohyun could distinctly make out the person standing before her. It was the same person Minhyun ordered her to run away from if she came across him— Ahn Eunwoo.
