the forbidden embrace

12

the six of them had dinner at jovial's ice cream store that night, with endless teasing especially from yuqi.

"honestly! that was the cringiest thing i've ever heard! i don't remember anything else worse than that!" yuqi fake gagged, earning a glare from miyeon.

"it was as bad when you and soyeon were watching that stupid horror movie at my house and you were eating each other faces out." soojin said nonchalantly, making yuqi immediately shut up and blush in embarrassment.

soyeon couldn't help but laugh at her girlfriend's little pout, as she continued, "yuqi and i are planning to do this charity work at the orphanage. do y'all wanna come?"

miyeon exchanged glances with nicha, as if to ask for her availability. honestly, nicha was pretty busy lately, but she would make all the time in the world for miyeon. nicha nodded in agreement, causing miyeon to let out a bit of an exciting squeal.

"great! it's in two weeks, i'll send you the details!" soyeon high-fived miyeon happily, after seeing that soojin and shuhua were available too. nicha looked at her girlfriend's happy face, and took her hand in hers, stroking it slightly, wishing this would last forever.

nicha was staying over at miyeon's that night. it wasn't unfamiliar for nicha, since she had stayed there when miyeon was taking care of her. it was obviously not as big as nicha's, but it would fit the both of them.

they brushed their teeth quickly and got to bed, both exhausted from today, especially with all the crying.

miyeon, as usual, moved closer to nicha. but this time, nicha was the one who cuddled onto miyeon first. miyeon smiled at the sight, stroking the younger girl's hair.

"aww aren't you a little baby." miyeon cooed, gently kissing the top of nicha's head, letting her snuggle into her chest. nicha hummed in response, resting on miyeon while taking in her scent. she smelled like a mix of vanilla and lavender, it was intoxicating.

they just stayed like that for awhile, nobody saying anything, yet nobody sleeping yet. "nicha..." miyeon's voice was small, but nicha quickly got up to look at miyeon. "can you sing me the song you sung just now?"

nicha grinned. she pulled miyeon closer to her, as she begun singing again, patting miyeon's back gently to lull her to bed.

when nicha had finished singing, miyeon was already asleep. nicha placed a soft kiss on miyeon's forehead, slightly pushing miyeon's stray strands of hair away from her face to admire her beauty, before she drifted off to bed too.

nicha woke up the next morning, with the empty spot of the bed beside her. she didn't even question it, because she could smell the aroma of maple syrup and waffles in the air.

she hurriedly rushed to the kitchen, seeing miyeon fixated at cooking. nicha let out a tiny smile as she approached the elder stealthily, backhugging her, making her jump a little.

"yaaaa, nicha yontararak! you scared me!" the elder whined, as she pouted a little. nicha smirked, placing a kiss on her cheek as she went back to hugging her.

"smells good." nicha mumbled, snuggling her face into miyeon's shoulder, as she inhaled dramatically. "better taste good too. i spent so long preparing it." miyeon replied, moving nicha's grip off her slowly since she had to flip the eggs.

"i meant you yeonnie," miyeon turned red, smacking nicha playfully as she busied herself with her eggs. nicha let out a triumphant smirk as she waited on the counter.

her phone buzzed. she quickly picked it up to see it was a message from her elder brother.

Bambam ❤️
where the hell are u
jackson's here, fuming
he's in your office

nicha quickly replied him with a "i'm busy." she didn't want to deal with jackson right now when miyeon was by her side.

she couldn't help but smile when she saw miyeon bustling out of the kitchen holding two plates of maple syrup waffles and eggs. she helped miyeon with the plates, giving her a little peck on her cheek as a way to thank her.

the two settled down for breakfast, miyeon telling nicha about the presentation she had that day, and nicha giving her her full support.

"do you need a ride to work yeonnie?" nicha asked, getting a windbreaker for miyeon. miyeon's eyes lit up as she agreed excitedly, thanking nicha for the windbreaker while she took her keys.

they reached miyeon's office pretty quickly. "bye min, see you later, love you!" miyeon exclaimed, pecking nicha's cheeks goodbye. nicha helped miyeon unbuckle her seatbelt, giving a playful, flirty wink, before miyeon left.

now, it was time to deal with jackson.
