the forbidden embrace

4

nicha was looking forward for everything to end today. she was having a dinner with miyeon.

"boss. mr jackson is here to see you." one of her man informed her. before she could even reply, jackson entered the office carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"hey lovely. you didn't accept it when i did it the hard way, so my friends told me to go soft. so here's some flowers for you! i hope you like them."

nicha sniggered, taking the flowers and casting them aside onto the floor.

"oh well, i guess you don't like roses. i knew i should have went with my guts. sunflowers would be better." jackson clicked his tongue, as he took a seat in front of nicha.

"say, do you want to grab dinner together? dad told me you liked motorbikes. i have one! we can ride one together to the restaurant later." jackson continued, all bright and chirpy.

"how would your dad know what i like. i don't even know him..." nicha questioned, not making eye contact with jackson, packing her things neatly as a sign of her being uninterested.

"i mean your dad. your dad my dad. same thing. we're going to be husband and wife soon anyway. so where should we get dinner?"

nicha forced a fake laugh, now looking jackson straight into the eye. "i have someone to meet for dinner. plus, i'm not interested in you. i need to go now. please leave too."

jackson raised an eyebrow, biting his lip slightly. "ah well, i'll see you tomorrow then. hope you and your dinner mate have fun." he said sacarstically, leaving.

"hey myeon!" nicha exclaimed upon seeing her friend. after nicha left, they texted frequently, and got insanely close. nicha called miyeon myeon, and miyeon called nicha min, since she still knew nicha ad minnie.

miyeon looked down and spaced out, her coffee untouched. nicha went to take a seat beside her, patting her gently.

"are you okay myeon? you look so tired..." miyeon shook her head, trying to force a smile but nicha could easily tell it was fake.

"how about i get you some of your favorite sushi, and we can go picnic at my favorite spot. we can watch the stars at night. i promise you you'll feel better." nicha smiled warmly, trying to cheer up the other girl. she nodded in agreement, and let herself be led away by nicha.

nicha went to the nearby sushi place and ordered some takeaway, letting the upset miyeon cling onto her arm. she was extremely soft when it came to miyeon. she didn't know why exactly too, but she just loved spending time with her a lot.

they got on the car shortly after, and just a little after the car started going, miyeon fell asleep. nicha just looked over once in a while to check if she was alright, and she focused on driving.

when they arrived, miyeon naturally woke up too, and greeted nicha with a small smile, which nicha reciprocated. nicha took a mat from the trunk of her car- it was supposed to be for wrapping dead bodies, but since it was unused, it would act as a picnic mat just fine- as she walked to a grassy patch, setting it down on the ground.

she sat down on the mat, stretching her legs, beckoning miyeon to do the same. the air was cool there, it wasn't cold and wasn't warm too. it was peaceful and quiet, the stars and moon were gorgeous.

miyeon laid on nicha's lap, being comfortable in it. nicha didn't really mind, since miyeon was a clingy person by nature. she let miyeon be, taking out her chopsticks as she opened the sushi box, taking one and feeding it to miyeon.

when miyeon was done chewing, she stopped nicha by holding her hand, turning to face nicha. "i'm sorry i ruined our night out... i'm just really sad.. this guy came and stirred nonsense with the company and my boss was really mad. he said it was my fault, and he would suspend me until the investigation was complete... just because the guy said it was me, and threatened to blacklist us if he didn't do so... i explained that he just wanted to take advantage of me.. but my boss just dismissed it all... and i don't think my coworkers believe me too.. they looked at me with doubtful eyes, as if i was some sort of liar..." miyeon sniffed, trying to hold back her tears.

"i'm sorry to hear that myeon... don't be sorry about anything. your boss is such a dickhead. i know you won't do anything bad. i trust you yeon. just take a break, don't think too much of it okay? if you're innocent, they'll find out eventually." nicha calmed the smaller girl down by stroking her hair gently. when she felt her nod, nicha took another sushi and plopped it into the younger girl's mouth, letting her eat it. they enjoyed the rest of the night stargazing, and eating the rest of the super delicious sushi, miyeon becoming much happier as time passed.
