the forbidden embrace

9

miyeon stayed. she stayed the night with nicha, eating dinner with her favorite ice cream. she stayed with nicha, cuddling nicha all night. she stayed with nicha, continuing to contact her and meet her regularly.

it was a week after everything happened and for the past week, miyeon and nicha had been meeting up everyday. today, they were going to watch the movie that they planned to watch on that day.

while nicha had planned to watch it in her home theater, miyeon asked if they could just watch it in her living room in the comfort of her sofa. who was nicha to say no?

so that was how miyeon was cuddled up with nicha on the sofa, both watching the newly released movie.

"i met a few new friends today min! they're names are shuhua and yuqi. god, we vibe so well! and shuhua, she has like this innocent beauty thing? it's so cute!" a pout formed on nicha's face, it was an unconscious one, but when nicha realised she had pouted, she played along.

"why are you sulking again hmm? don't worry, you're the cutest one okay?" miyeon cooed, pinching nicha's cheeks, which made nicha happier, laying on miyeon's shoulders.

"i told her that they should meet you too. we're going out on sunday. wanna come along?" nicha obviously couldn't say no, and miyeon was overjoyed.

"continue watching the movie pabo," nicha teased, flicking miyeon's forehead gently, earning a glare from her, as both of them resumed watching the movie.

nicha arrived at the office the next morning, probably glowing despite the fact that she got less than 4 hours of sleep. she had been chatting with miyeon for almost the entire night, and both of them cuddled each other to bed.

she entered the office building, and went straight upstairs to her office. cassandra was there with her morning coffee.

"boss, your father's looking for you. he says it's urgent. he told you to call him back as soon as possible." nicha nodded in acknowledgment, as she entered her office.

it only took 2 short rings before her father responded.

"nicha, the drug business has been losing a lot of money lately. i would help out, but i have my hands tied in the money laundering cases. can you please help them out?"

nicha was a person who stuck to her principles. the only time she meddled in the drug business was only when they were in big trouble, whereby people's lives were at stake.

"how much money have they been losing?" nicha questioned. if it wasn't much, she wasn't going to do it.

"they already lost almost one and a half million of goods, and they can't even secure a deal. you know how the drug business is one of our most profitable ones do you?" her father's voice had a tone of finality in it. nicha didn't seem to have much of a choice.

"dad, this will be the first and last time. you know how much i hate dabbling in the drugs trade." she heard her father made some disapproving grunts, but since she made her point clear, she said her goodbyes and hung up.

"bring me info about whatever is going on in the drug trade right now, and bring me the current head." nicha ordered, as cassandra got to work.

miyeon ended work, and was greeted by nicha once again in the lobby. she linked her arms with nicha, telling her about her day, while nicha told her about hers.

"i know i told you i wasn't going to be involved in the drug business. but honestly this time, i didn't have a choice.. i'm sorry, but i'll try to settle it once and for all." nicha told miyeon everything, and how she had managed to find a huge buyer to secure their finances again.
