Invisible Strings (VERY SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter Ten

The people at the party has subside but Yoonhee can't still find Suryeon. She was about to call the brunette when she received a text from her. 

From: Suryeon
I booked a room, I needed to get away from him. Don't worry too much, I'm okay.

The redhead sighed, she knows her too well to know that she was lying. She immediately got out of the reception and head for the brunette's room. 

When she finally arrived, the taller woman opened the door for her. She was out of her evening gown and was wearing a pajama. She looked so soft and fragile. She  looked around before entering the room, she needs to be careful now. She doesn't want anyone to capture a photo of them again. She closed the door and faced the brunette again.

"Are you okay?" She asked taking one of her hand. The brunette forced a smile.

"I'm okay, will you remove your mask, there's no need to hide here." The younger woman did what she was told.

"There you go, I can see your pretty face again."

In normal circumstances Yoonhee would've been flustered by the compliment but she knows the taller woman is trying to divert the conversation. Silence filled the room. The redhead look at her with probing eyes and Suryeon tries to desperately avoid it.

"I'm tired, I'll go to bed first." The brunette heads to the bedroom but the younger woman didn't let go of her hand. 

Suryeon looked at her with pleading eyes. With that, Yoonhee sighed and gave her hand one last squeeze before letting go of her. She knows that it's hard for the taller woman to open up to people, even to her.

The redhead change into something more comfortable and let her hair down. She was now in front of their bedroom door for the night. She contemplates if she should go in or just sleep on the couch to give the brunette some space. She eventually decided to do the latter.

She toss and turn on the couch, unable to bring herself to sleep. Not because it was uncomfortable, she had slept in far worse condition than this, but because of worry for the brunette who was alone with her thoughts in the other room. She sat up and stared at the bedroom door. She took a deep breath and walked towards it. She was about to knock when the door suddenly opened. Their eyes met, and for a moment Yoonhee swore she saw vulnerability in her eyes but the older woman was quick to mask it. 

"Need anything?" The redhead asked. 

Suryeon shook her head no. The older woman noticed that she's already in her pjs. She also noticed blankets on the couch.

"Were you sleeping on the couch?" 

The redhead scratched the back of her head and gave her an apologetic smile. She already know how the brunette will scold her for what she did.

"Why did you do that when there's so much space on the bed?" The brunette grabbed her hand and pulled her inside the room. 

The taller woman didn't say anything and head straight to the bed, she layed there with her back facing the younger woman. Yoonhee followed suit and lay beside her. To her surprise, the brunette rolled over to face her. She pulled the redhead for a hug and buried her head on her chest. 

"I was so angry." The brunette whispered.

"At Logan?"

"No. At myself." The redhead was taken aback.

"What do you mean?" 

"When Logan did what he did back there, I felt manipulated and controlled." 

The the older woman paused for a long time, her body tensed, she gripped Yoonhee's shirt tightly as she felt rage consume her. The redhead didn't pushed for her to continue. Instead, she ran her hand through her hair, like she always did to calm her down.
