Invisible Strings (VERY SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter Nine

It was finally the day of the launch party. After a long discussion, the couple decided that revealing their relationship to the public was not the best move. Yoonhee was right, even if her case was cleared, a lot of people still see her as a murderer. Suryeon doesn't want her peace to be disturbed when she'd work hard on trying to achieve it. However, the redhead still wants to come with her after knowing the real reason why she wants her there.

"I'm nervous, this is the first time I'll be exposed to the public's eye after all that has happened." The brunette told her, she noticed the fear in her eyes.

"Is it necessary for the press to be there?" The younger woman asked.

Suryeon nodded, of course Logan needs the press there. He needs to show off that he's able to secure a deal with an already establish brand like Jakomo.

"I wanted you to be there because I thought your presence might calm me down." The brunette said, giving her a faint smile.

"But I guess I didn't think it through enough, people might swarm you if they ever saw you there." She added.

Yoonhee took a deep breath, she wants to be there for her but at the same time she's scared of the public's attention. She looks at Suryeon who was in deep thought.

"What if I go there, but I'll just blend in with the crowd?" What she said caught the brunette's attention.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll put some kind of disguise so people won't recognize me." The older woman just chuckled at her statement, thinking of how ridiculous it sounds. But then she looked at the redhead, and she has this determined look on her face.

"Are you serious?" The younger woman nodded eagerly, trying to reassure her.

"You know you can always backout, right?" Suryeon said. They were travelling to the hotel where the party is being held.

"Nah, I'll be fine." Yoonhee said as she moved closer to the brunette in the backseat. She noticed how the older woman's hand was trembling. She took her hand in hers and started drawing circles on her palm with her thumb.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm sure you'll do great."

Suryeon looked at the younger woman beside her. She was wearing a black suit and pants and her hair was tied into a bun.

"You look so pretty." The brunette said in admiration. The younger woman chuckled at this.

"Says the one who looks like a literal goddess." She said as her eyes scan the brunette from head to toe. She was wearing a blue off shoulder evening gown, she looked so regal.

Her eyes stopped at Suryeon's exposed long neck and collarbone. Her mouth went dry at the sight of it. The older woman swear she saw lust in her eyes before the redhead looked away. A mischievous grin appeared in the older woman's face.

Suryeon reached out for the redhead's left cheek and gently turn her head to face her. The younger woman looked at her quizzically. The brunette slowly leaned in closer to her face, not breaking eye contact. Yoonhee felt her chest rise and fall.

"The driver will see us." She said, trying to ignore the smell of the brunette's intoxicating perfume. She smirked, the redhead must've been really affected by her that she forgot they were riding a limo. She leaned in even closer.

"Suryeon." She said, breathlessly.

"Hmm?" Their faces were inches apart now.

"If you don't stop-"
