Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 330 - Make A Deal

Only when Lee Soohyun was confirmed that there was no one in the library other than her, she took the initiative to pull open the door and enter the room.

Outside of that door was a huge board attached with the words, 'Forbidden— do not enter.'

Cla.s.sifying this room to contain important information, she decided to visit the room for a short while. No one will be coming in for five minutes, and she could always give the excuse of being lost once she got caught.

As her heart quickened within her chest, she gulped and entered into the room before her. The room was dimly lighted by a small lamp that sat at the corner of the room.

The room was fairly small and had two short bookshelves placed close to each other. On one side of the room was a table, and doc.u.ments were scattered randomly on top of the table.

With her nervous self, Soohyun took further steps inside the room, and pursing her lips together, she looked around to see where she should be starting things from.

Thinking that the doc.u.ments on the desk to be important, she decided to start with them. Instantly, she made her way to those papers, and under the light of the lamp, everything was barely visible to her.

New Medicine— that was she could make out on top of the first page, and extending her hand to it, she decided to read further into that doc.u.ment. It might hold important information.

Picking up the folder, she flipped through the front page, but something then caused her to halt in her actions. Anxiety build up within her when she heard a voice.

"The door to the room is open? I remember closing it before I left. Could it be that someone entered into the room?" A voice spoke out.

a.s.suming that to be the librarian, a gasp left Soohyun's mouth after she had heard those words, and at that moment, she knew that she had to hide.

She could distinctly hear the librarian's footsteps coming towards the room, and frantically looking around, she tried to search for a place to hide at. 

Her body was visibly shaking while her hand clutched on to a piece of doc.u.ment tightly. There was no appropriate place for her to hide at this room, and transporting from here was not possible for her.

'Please, please, someone help me.'

Staring at bookshelf, she decided upon hiding behind it. Although between the wall and the bookshelf there was not much gap, she would be able to manage, and even though it would not make her inconspicuous, she prayed for luck to be beside her.

Holding her breath in, she quickly made her way towards the bookshelf, but before she could do so, she heard the noise of the door being pushed open. At that moment, she almost felt her heart jumping out of her chest.

"Librarian Jeon, I was looking around the forbidden room. I needed some research material, so I have to trouble you to get them for me— if it is not that much of a ha.s.sle for you that is."

That polite voice belonged to Ahn Eunwoo, and being saved by him at this moment was not something Soohyun had expected. Nonetheless, this was better than nothing, and her heart began to calm down within her chest.

That's when, something he said hit her. He informed the librarian on how he was looking around the forbidden room, but she had not seen him inside the library.

Did that mean that he was already aware of her presence inside the library?

'This is bad, Soohyun. You end up getting caught, but about the information in your hand, you can't let go of it.'

With a determined mindset, she instantly opened it, and quickly tearing off the pages from the doc.u.ment, she placed it inside both the inner pockets 0f her sweater. 

Then, she placed her hair over her chest, and fortunately for her, her hair was long enough to cover everything. Placing the doc.u.ment on top of the table, she made her way to the door, trying to listen in on the conversation between him and the librarian.

"Sure, sure, Sir Eunwoo. I have no problem with that," the librarian said, "Which research materials do you require? Just mention their name to me, and I will be getting them you within a short period of time. I know everything here like the back of my hand."

As Eunwoo listed off about the materials to the librarian, Soohyun leaned against the wall, and as nervousness rose within her, she thought of how to confront this situation. It seemed that she had to put in her best acting skills to use at this moment.

After a few seconds, the door to the room was open, and a man walked inside the room. Turning her head, Soohyun turned her head to look at him.

"I thought you will be hiding, Moon Jiwoo, but it seems that you are eager to confront me," he stated.

"Is there any use in hiding and wasting time, Sir?" she asked, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Aren't you going to admit that you are not Moon Jiwoo? I thought that game would have been lasting longer," he voiced out.

"Would you have believed me if I kept on saying to you on how I am not Moon Jiwoo, Sir?" Soohyun arched both of her eyebrows while a smile formed on her face.

"No, I would not have believed you," he spoke out, "After all, you have left a memorable imprint on me in the past, and that itself makes it difficult for me to forget you."

"If you keep on that att.i.tude, I will be a.s.suming that you are obsessed with me," she vocalised.

Ahn Eunwoo scoffed and voiced out, "I really do not want to give off that impression to you. After all, I don't want a crazy girl to chase after me once again."

Hearing those words of his annoyed her, and smiling at him, she questioned, "Why don't we make a deal?"
