Invisible Strings (VERY SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter Nine

"What if I don't stop?"

Suryeon widened her eyes in surprised when the redhead pushed her and pinned her down. The younger woman was now on top of her. Without a warning, Yoonhee kissed her lips aggressively, shoving her tongue inside her mouth. The brunette moaned, she wrapped her arms around Yoonhee's neck and pulled her closer to her.

The redhead stopped attacking her lips and shifted her attention to her neck instead. That damn neck of hers was the reason they were in this situation in first place. She sucked hard on her neck, like a vampire hungry for blood. The older woman covered her mouth with her hand as she can't control the moans that was escaping her lips. Yoonhee reached out to her back to unzip her dress.

Just as she was about to completely unzip the dress, they heard a knock. Suryeon widened her eyes while Yoonhee immediately get off her. The younger woman opened the door.

"Yes?" She asked, she made sure to open the door just enough for her to peek outside.

"We have arrived in the hotel mam." She looked around, they are in the parking lot already.

"Ah, yes. Just a minute, Suryeon is still doing her make up." She lied, offering the chauffeur a sweet smile. The latter just nodded in response. She closed the door.

"Oh Yoonhee!" She was startled when Suryeon started hitting her.

"What did I do?" She said, trying to defend herself from her girlfriend.

The brunette eventually stopped hitting her but glared at her like a kid who got her candy stolen instead. The redhead frowned, then her eyes caught something red on her neck. Her jaw dropped. She went closer to the twin's mother. Yoonhee tried touch the older woman's neck to inspect it but Suryeon swat her hands away.

"Let's fix it with make-up, okay?"

"I already tried that!" Yoonhee flinched. She saw a concealer in her hand.

"Why are you shouting at me, this is your fault too!"

"What!?" Suryeon snapped at the redhead who flinched again.

"I mean... You seduced me! I told you to stop flirting but you didn't." The younger woman rambled. The brunette covered her face with both of her hands.

"Oh? Are you crying?" There was no response.

"I'm sorry, let me help you with hiding it okay?" She tried to removed the older woman's hands from her face but it wouldn't budge.

"I'm embarrassed." The brunette whispered in almost what sound like a child's voice. Yoonhee observed her and noticed how her ears have turned red. She bit her lip to stop herself from smiling.

"Don't be. I like you being flirty anyways."

The older woman took a peek in between the fingers of her hands and saw the redhead beaming at her. She finally removed the hands that were covering her face but looked away from the younger woman as she felt herself getting embarassed again. The other woman chuckled, she was amused by her.

Yoonhee reached out for Suryeon's make up kit and tried her hardest to hide her love bite. However, the makeup was no use. She saw the nervousness in the older woman's face when it dawned her that the redhead might not be able fix it with make up.

The younger woman's face suddenly lit up, as if an idea has just struck her. Suryeon frowned when the other woman started rummaging her bag. After a while, the redhead finally found what she was looking for.

"Tada!" Yoonhee waved a scarf enthusiastically in front of her lover's face.

"Let's wrap it around your neck. Look, it's even the same color as your dress!"

Suryeon finally smiled, the redhead was so happy to have found a solution for her problem. This was just a small thing, but it reminded her once again how much of an impact Yoonhee has on her life. She had shared every trouble and burden with the redhead. She doesn't know what she'll do without her.

"There you go." The younger woman finished wrapping the scarf around her neck. She gave the older woman a mirror. Suryeon thought it was a nice touch to her look.

"Let's go. You'll be late."

It was a masquerade party, everyone was obliged to wear a mask. A satisfied smile crept on Suryeon's face, the two of them planned this. Knowing Logan's feelings for Suryeon, the redhead suggested that she makes a request about the upcoming party.

A masquerade party will eliminate the risk of Yoonhee being swarmed by reporters that will attend. The man was confused at first on how persistent the brunette was on being involved in the preparations, but he let her be thinking that it could be a way of getting close to her again.

As soon as they arrived, Logan approached Suryeon. The man immediately dragged her to meet other businessmen, he's showing her off like she's his wife. Yoonhee just sighed, as much as he wants to put him on his place, she can't. She needs to blend in with the crowd and be discreet. She follows them, maintaining a distance.

After conversing with another conglomerate, Suryeon looked around, she was feeling uneasy. After scanning the room, her eyes finally landed on the redhead, who already has her eyes on her. Even with a mask on, and an outfit that makes her blend with everyone else, she can still recognize her. Her one and only Yoonhee.

The redhead gave her a warm smile. She took a deep breath and smiled back, knowing that the younger woman was around helped to keep her nerves at bay. She felt someone touch her elbow, she turn around and saw Logan.

"Suryeon, come with me." The man said, putting his hand on her waist and leading her to a group of reporters.

The brunette was startled by sudden flashes of cameras. They started asking about their business deal to which the brunette tried to answer to her best abilities despite being trapped in an uncomfortable situation.

"You two look so good together, everyone is dying to know if you two are an item." Suryeon was about to deny it when Logan beat her to it.

"Sorry to disappoint, but we aren't." The reporters expressed their disappointments while the brunette sighed in relief.

"At least not yet." She heard the man beside her added. This caused the group of reporters to squeal in joy.

"Does this mean there's a chance?" One of the reporters asked eagerly.

"I'm sorry, we need to go now." Suryeon gave them a polite smile and walked away. Logan immediately followed her. When the brunette noticed that they got away from the eyes of people, she turn around harshly and snapped at him.

"What the hell was that Logan!?" He was about to answer back when she shut him up.

"Please do me a favor and stay away from me for the rest of the evening." The woman walked out on him. He balled his hand to a fist.

He knew the redhead was tailing them all evening, he was denying it all this time but it has become too obvious that the two has something going on. It disgusts him, why would she like someone who betrayed her? He can't accept the fact that she's willing to let someone like that in her life but downright rejected him when he had helped her all this time.

He was about to go back to the crowd when he saw two interesting figures. The redhead, and one of the reporters that interviewed them earlier. A smirk formed on his face as he approached the reporter.

"Hello, aren't you one of the reporters earlier?"

"Mr. Lee, hello. Yes I am."

"Do you want a scoop?"
