”So, your illegal job, is not actually illegal?”,Seb asked Iven when he finally revealed one day what his actually work was.

The topic rose, and Iven found Seb reliable enough to disclose it. Their intimacy grew pretty well within these days.

”Not really!!!”, he said,”If the lower in-charge authorities come to know, they'll put me in. But the higher ones will understand because I have a license”.

”Don't you smuggle stuffs in?”, Seb was curious.

”It's not like they are bombs or drugs”, Iven told her,”I do for private customers. Even our contacts and spread is limited. These are stuffs which can't enter the city under law's condition”.

”You don't get caught?”, Seb asked.

”I told you I've a license. The maximum they can do is charge me a fine”, Iven replied.

Seb sighed and looked up at the sky,”So much for the work, which is not illegal enough to expose”.

”It's time already?”, he asked disappointed.

”Yes”, Seb replied,”I must get going”.

Iven looked down.

”Belle!!!....”, he called,”...You coming tomorrow?”

Seb stumbled on her steps. What did she just hear? Did she hear correct? Did he just say....
