Chapter 9

A week passed

Siyeon sat down to dinner with her family in the villa, along with a few relatives. Everyone talked back and forth about social issues, everything was very normal until a cousin mentioned Siyeon's artistic path.

- Your compositions have not been very good lately, or rather, they have never been good - the ironic smile of Sooyoung, Siyeon's cousin.

- Popular enough to go to a few coffee shops or shopping centers and heard it being turned on - Siyeon replied gently.

- Suddenly refused the position of CEO of the hotel, just worked as a small manager, then spent the time doing random things - Mr. Lee smacked his lips.

- Dad, since you have agreed to let me work in music, you should also show respect for my job.

- I still agree, but it's only limited to composing music for other singers, not singing.

- I'm still doing what you want, I only produce music, I'm not a singer

- Okay

- What I need is your respect for the profession I am passionate about

- Well, Sing, your father agreed that you did a good job, don't ask for too much - Mrs. Lee spoke up

- Is that asking for much? It's true that dad demands a lot from his child. Dad forced me to get engaged to someone I don't love, right? – Siyeon turned her face to the middle-aged woman, raised her hand, which already had a gold ring on it.

- That's a great thing, why do you think so negatively? Also, if it weren't because of the story about you and that thief, father Lee wouldn't have been in such a hurry to set you up with a match, and he would have waited for the right time to get you engaged, not rushing you right away. . Don't think so shallowly.

Siyeon stood up and left the dining table.

She went to the back of the house and looked at her phone for a long time.

*Kim Bora*

She had been waiting for this line for the past week but it never appeared on her screen.

Is it because Bora is busy with work or she no longer wants to contact Siyeon?

Last time they met, Siyeon showed an arrogant and negative attitude. Did Bora ever feel dissatisfied after that?

She thought Bora was going to chase her when she decisively got out of the car, but no, Bora let her go.

She shouldn't have had any more hope in this toxic relationship, she was about to get engaged and she was about to get married, she shouldn't have behaved like that.

But……………..

"Hello"

- Can you come pick me up? – Siyeon said softly, her eyes absently looking towards the sea

“You're at home, right? Please wait for 5 minutes.”

Exactly 5 minutes later, the red BMW parked in front of Lee’s villa. Through the window she saw Kim Bora's figure appear and she ran out of the house.

Bora saw Siyeon approaching, she proactively reached out and grabbed Siyeon, pulling Siyeon towards her.

Siyeon followed the other person by inertia, burying her face in Bora’s black hair.

Bora felt that the younger girl was not in a good mood. She rubbed Siyeon’s skinny back, then raised her eyes to look up. Image of a man standing on the balcony, that is Mr. Lee.

She kissed Siyeon's shoulder.

- Let's go, I'll take you to rest.

After opening the door and putting Siyeon in the car, Bora glanced lightly at the house then climbed into the car and drove away.

On the way.

- How could you come so quickly, I thought you worked in Seoul - Siyeon wondered.

- Actually, from the moment I came to see you at the insurance company, I bought a house in Daegu. Whenever I need to go to Seoul, I will move, then return to Daegu.

- Are you near here?

- Yes, the villa is not far from your house.

The car stopped in front of a splendid house, not as big as Siyeon's family's house, only enough to accommodate 2 to 3 people, but its design and beauty were beyond discussion.

Siyeon felt a bit angry, Bora had been here for a while and had not said anything to her. If she doesn't proactively call Bora, Bora will continue to hide it like that.

Bora opened the door and brought Siyeon in. The two of them drank tea together in the living room. Tucking Siyeon's red curls behind one ear, then caressing the flesh of her ear, Bora let out honey-like inquiries.

- Is something wrong?

- It's just... - Siyeon snorted back, acting like it was nothing serious.

The atmosphere fell silent for a bit then Siyeon spoke.

- I've been doing music for a year now, composing a few songs for a few singers, but my achievements aren't worth mentioning so my dad thinks I'm wasting my time.

- Music art is an industry that takes time

- If only my father also understood that, it would be great

- Come over to my house whenever you feel the need

- Really?

- Real

- What do you think of me that you're willing to let me live with you like that?

- You are my creditor, aren't you?

- That's right, you’re so rich now, pay your debt - Siyeon turned to face Bora, her eyes wide open.

- I don’t - Bora smirked

- Even though you didn't pay 200 million won, that money was enough for you to buy this house

- Then I give you this house

- I don't lack a house

- Then I give you another one

- What?

Bora took Siyeon's hand and placed it on her thigh, caressed it for a while and then discovered something unusual

- What does this ring mean?

Siyeon was startled and looked at her right ring finger. Her hands were always empty without any accessories until she got engaged to Seunghwa. Because she lives with her parents, she always has to wear a ring to avoid being questioned.

- Don't worry, it's nothing

Bora kicked the inside of her cheek, staring at Siyeon

Siyeon witnessed the other person's fierce eyes and couldn't help but speak out

- My father forced me to get engaged to a guy

- When will you get married?

- About 1 year from now

- .........

- Our relationship won't change, right? - Siyeon said tremblingly after seeing Bora's silence

- It inherently has nothing to change

……

The evening ended with them both sleeping in the same bed but an arm's length apart. Siyeon feels heavy because her secret has been exposed.

This damn matchmaking, she never expected that one day in the future she would be able to meet Kim Bora again. If she had known that in advance, she would have absolutely opposed her father's matchmaking.

When she met Seonghwa, she was on the verge of loneliness and didn't know where her love life would go, so she weakly followed her father's words.

Now she is extremely regretful.

She's afraid Kim Bora will treat her coldly again like Bora did 3 years ago. The two of them were destined to meet again, she couldn't let this opportunity slip away.

Hugging Bora from behind, Siyeon buried her face in Bora’s jet black hair and whispered

- Bora, I don't want something like that to happen

- Hm… I understand

- I’m still free to come here, right? As you said before

- ..........

- I'm very miserable, you know?

Bora touched the back of Siyeon's trembling hand, rubbing it gently

One night passed

-----

Racing land at Voyage

Bora sat on the 5000 horsepower Devel Sixteen car, hands gripping the steering wheel, eyes steady. With only 10 minutes left, she will participate in a 3km car race with twisting and dangerous terrain.

Her mission is to win against her opponent at the request of Lee Dami, her current boss

Lee Dami is Lee Jungjae's nephew. After the tragic death of her uncle, she rose to the top position in the gang and participated in running the organization's activities.

Dami was also the one who proposed to save Bora from prison and bring her to the organization for work training. Historically, this is a rare thing, because gangster organizations often recruit more experienced people, rather than someone without experience.

Bora initially thought that because she held the password to the suitcase, it might be related to other suitcases, so the other gang brought her back with them to question her. But no, Dami also knows that password, that information is not too important.

Bora had an idea in her mind about the intentions between Lee Jungjae's Scream organization and her. What did they need and want from her that they went out of their way to save her like that?

Later, she learned the truth of the reason, which was that Lee Dami had feelings for her. Dami is a homosexual.

Bora wondered why Dami knew her first and fell in love with her in a situation where Dami had never even met her in person. Later, thanks to a junior in the gang, she learned that Dami had been following her since she was in Piri with Siyeon.

And Lee Dami knew of Siyeon's existence and easily guessed the relationship between Siyeon and her. When she was with Siyeon, Dami was followed without even knowing it.

The two racing cars have touched the starting line, preparing to start battle. Bora insisted on moving forward to win, but in those moments of determination, she was distracted by a familiar image.

Lee Siyeon was standing behind the fence of the viewing area, next to her was a tall, handsome guy. Bora was convinced that the two of them knew each other because of their current behavior, the other guy whispered something in Siyeon's ear and she smiled brightly.

The night before, the two of them were supposed to end up having a happy night, but at least they hugged each other and slept like before, but Bora wasn't completely satisfied. She cannot accept the fact that Siyeon will get married in the near future.

And the image before her eyes was now unacceptable.

She chose to ignore it.

Bora turned her gaze back to the old direction, she glanced lightly at her opponent in the car next to her, ready to fight.

Siyeon smiled brightly at Seonghwa, her fiancé, then turned her smile off. After a few months of hanging out and getting to know each other, Seonghwa gave her a friend-like affection, he said, and he hoped to develop this love even further so that the two could have a wedding to the satisfaction of both parents.

But Siyeon of course didn't want to, she was still thinking about another figure

She went to find out all about Bora's schedule and she learned that Bora had a job to race in this desolate land of Voyage.

During the day this place is empty or without a single ghost, but at night it is crowded with people coming to watch the racing.

The night before, Siyeon still hugged Bora tightly to sleep like that, then the next morning when she woke up she didn't see Bora in bed.

Bora left a note on a small piece of paper, saying she had to go to work early.

After a few days, the two of them didn't talk to each other at all, stayed at home, and had nothing to do with each other until today.

Siyeon is not inherently a gentle person who accepts letting others make fun of her feelings, or letting herself fall into a state of being attached to her feelings for someone. She came up with a plan to bring Seonghwa here. After all, it was already dark night, and going to a place like this alone required a friend.

She noticed Bora's eyes staring at her.

She pretended to smile happily at Seonghwa.

The referee waved the flag down, and the Devel Sixteen and the opponent's car sped away like ghosts. Everyone around them howled, Siyeon squinted her eyes, suddenly worried.

If Bora’s just a little careless, she could die here.

She didn't expect the work Bora did to be so risky. Lee Jungjae is an international criminal, working for them will certainly have to go through fierce tasks.

Siyeon’s family is a simple business family, not delving into other industries, but they have many types of friends and partners. Siyeon can also implicitly understand what type of people those partners are, and Lee Jungjae's organization is somewhat similar to them.

After ten minutes, Bora completed the race as well as her mission, leaving the rest to the organization's staff to handle, and she went to the bar to order a glass of Chivas 32. Sit down on the chair and enjoy the space, her eye-catching perspective.

It's Lee Siyeon and that guy again, chatting happily with each other.....

But they sat on the hood of her car.

Bora doesn't regret the car, but feels frustrated

------

- Thank you for inviting me here, it's my first time going out at night to such a place - Seonghwa smiled with excitement.

- It's okay, it's my first time too

- Oh, so we experienced a night race together for the first time

- How did you see the girl racing just now?

- That person with long black hair? when she walked out I could see her face clearly, she looked very charismatic

- This is my car!!!

A deep and sharp voice rang out, Seonghwa turned his head in surprise, and Siyeon seemed to know everything in advance.

She deliberately chose Bora's racing car to sit on

Bora crossed her arms and frowned at the couple slowly standing up

- I'm sorry, you were the one who raced just now, right? You raced very well - Seonghwa raised his hand politely.

Bora gently shook hands and immediately let go. She walked towards Siyeon, grabbed Siyeon’s hand and pulled Siyeon towards the back of the car very strongly.

- Aaaa.....Seonghwa, go home first, I have something to take care of

Seonghwa didn't understand what was going on so he left, wondering about the relationship between the two girls.
