__ And that's it. That's how I'm gonna manage things.__ Moonbyul said to Wheein and Hyejin.

The shorter woman nodded her head and commented:

__ It's refreshing to know you have all so well planned. I believe it's gonna be great. As we told you before, Hyejin is tired of her family business and we had been considering what to do. So this is interesting. What did Yongsun unnie say?

__ She is not gonna be part of this. __ The blonde's face got tense.

__ Why not?__ Hyejin was surprised.

__ I didnt mention my whole plan but it became clear she doesn't trust me and her parents keep on top of her priorities.

__ What? You guys gotta talk . I know Yongsun loves you.__ Wheein declared.

__ Not enough to have my back. The two of you have learned from your past mistakes and are not willing to sacrifice your relationship because of your crazy families anymore. And above all, you guys rebuilt the most important that is your friendship. Funny enough, none of You questioned my intentions or the future of the employees. She did.

Hyejin sighed and said:

__ Just tell her everything, woman. You guys are meant to be!

The CEO of Moon Corp glanced at the youngest one and responded coldly:

__ Support me or not, it's up to you. But dont interfere in my private life. And dont be a hypocrite. If Wheein did something similar, you would be devastated.

Wheein made a gesture to her wife that meant she should give the blonde a free pass and said, right after:

__ Okay, I understand the big picture, but how are we gonna merge?

The taller woman showed the other two a document with details and concluded:

__ Since Hyejin is still in doubt about her future as a businesswoman but also wants to be a chef, once we break her family's legacy, just like I'm doing to mine, I can merge my new company with hers. I am already transferring 35% of my staff in a subtle way. But...on the day Moon Corp stops existing, 50% of the employees will get a memo with the new plan. The other ones are corrupted. I can help Hyejin with her employees too.

__ I can take care of Jung's Corp staff on my own but  ....what will happen to Kim Corp?

__ Of course I have all planned to protect Yongsun's fortune and her employees. She will probably give her parents the money back later, but that doesn't matter anymore. Once I go away, maybe you can merge with her new company, Wheein-ah?

Both Wheein and Hyejin had a shocked expressions when they asked:

__ Are you leaving?

__ Yes, as soon as we're done with the plan, I will leave Korea.__ Moonbyul gave them a faint smile.

__ But why?__ Hyejin was sad.

The blonde caressed the brunette's face and replied:

__ You two have become very dear in my heart but... I can't stay here anymore. There is nothing left for me. I have never had a real family, the memories of my brother are too painful, and Yongsun...She broke my heart again, even though it was my own fault for opening up one more time. I should have known better. There is no room for happiness in my life.

__ Unnie...Wheein's tears rolled down her cheeks.

__ Hey, silly! Cheer up! We have work to do and the clock is ticking. After all, it's just the two of us. __ The older woman wiped the other one's face.

__ Actually, the three of us. I can pause my course for a bit.__ Hyejin informed.

__ Are you sure? I dont want to make things harder for you.

__ We started as four with the plan of taking control of our families' business. It should end the same way. If that's not possible, at least the 3 of us must do it.__ Hyejin said with conviction.

Moonbyul glanced at the two women with gratitude and she struggled to control the tears that were trying to escape.

__ Thank you, Hyejin-ah. Thank you, Wheein-ah.

___ x ___

Moonbyul and Hyejin smoothly transferred a portion of their employees to what seemed to be part of Moon Corp and Ahn Corp and made public bad investments on purpose to cover all the huge contracts they had been signing on the side.

It was like they were living in two worlds. None of their actions was illegal though.

The money used to start the new company was from their personal profits as the CEOs of their parents' businesses. And the wrong investments to burn Moon Corp and Ahn Corp were also legal.

Yongsun didnt have any clue that her wife was putting her plan into action.

The dark-haired woman just started having a weird feeling in her guts when she noticed that Moonbyul had fired 5% of Kim Corp employees and relocated the other 30%.

Since the blonde had been rarely at home for the previous 3 weeks and they barely saw each other, the older woman used her secret contacts and found out that similar things were happening in Jung Corp, Ahn Corp, and Moon Corp.

Knowing she would not get any answer from Moonbyul, the brunette decided to pay a visit to Wheein at her company.

When the secretary informed her that Yongsun was there to speak to her, Wheein got anxious and worried but sent her in.

The older woman greeted the cute one briefly and cut to the chase:

__ What are you and the other three hiding from me?

__ What are you talking about, Yongsun?

__ I'm not a f
