Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

12.

It was a peaceful sunday morning. Munhee didn't have any major conversation with Baekhyun throughout the rest of the week. It happened mostly because both of them didn't interact with each other, other than some curt exchanges.

But the peace couldn't last forever. They were living under a roof and they had a whole household to manage along with two kids. So, Munhee would be the one breaking their peaceful 'no talking' state, again.

Munhee checked herself in front of the mirror. She had no idea why did she have to look presentable when she was just going to super market for some grocery shopping! If it was her hometown, she would've cared less about her appearance and made her way to supermarket wearing her home-clothes. But the air in Seoul was different. And the area Baekhyun's house located in was rather fancy, so as the people.

Munhee remembered watching Myunghee choose her dress with much thought before going out, even if her destination was supermarket. She would say something like,  'You never know when I'd bump into the fancy women of this society, they will look down on my husband if they find me wearing something funny'.

Even though people might hardly recognize her here, but Munhee didn't want to get trapped in any unnecessary headache, so she decided to wear the brand new dress she received yesterday from a online store.

Now that she was dressed, had made her list for needed things she had to collect from the stores, got her purse ready; the only thing left was a ride to the supermarket. For that, she needed Baekhyun. Not that she was wishing Baekhyun to take her to the supermarket. She'd be fine with his car's key as she didn't have her own car.

Munhee could hear noises coming from the girls' playroom so she assumed Baekhyun was with the girls there.

The girl stopped at the playroom's door to admire how cute all three of them looked in their comfortable pajamas, yes they were still in their pjs even after breakfast and she wasn't nagging at the kids to take their bath, as it's weekend and she was giving them weekend-discount to do as they wanted.

Three of them were giggling as Baekhyun tickled both the girls on their little tummies, their hairs ruffled, eyes glinting with pure joy with their little playtime, they looked really really soft and lovable. Munhee bit her lips to contain squealing and cooing at them as it would look weird to Baekhyun. Gosh, did she want to pinch their round cheeks and ruffle their hair even more.

Munhee's staring and silent cooing came to an end when Baekhyun noticed her presence there. A soft smile still lingering on his face as the aftermath of the previous laugh. He scanned his eyes over her figure. He asked after clearing his throat to bring his usual stoic face 'specially served for Munhee',  "Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah. We are kind of running out of groceries. So I have to go to supermarket." Munhee replied as she made her way inside the room and stood in front of the floorbed where the trio of father and daughters were playing.

Baekhyun sat up straight. He nodded, "Do you need some cash?"

Munhee scratched her neck while shaking her head, "Uh I have the credit card you gave me. Actually, I needed your car keys."

Something changed in Baekhyun's face, which wasn't clear to Munhee. She slightly flinched back as he stood up to stand face to face with her all of a sudden. "Why would you need my car keys? I mean, call an Uber or something!"  He gritted, trying hard to hide his disliking at Munhee's proposal.

"I was just feeling like driving as I haven't driven in a while. Calling Uber is hectic." Munhee explained. She might not had her own car back in home, but she did drive her father's car once in every week. It's not that she would damage his expensive car.  "I can drive pretty well." She added, already feeling dejected.

"It doesn't matter how well you can drive!"  Baekhyun spat at her.  "You aren't allowed to drive. If you want to ride a car so badly, I will buy you a new one. Tell me, do you have any model in your mind? I will buy it. And I will arrange a driver for you. You don't have to drive." Baekhyun already reached for his phone on the bed, probably to order someone for buying her a car or something like that while he was almost blabbering to himself at this point. His eyes were unfocused. If Munhee didn't hear wrongly, it felt like he was panicking.

Munhee saw in her peripheral vision, that Miseo and Sarang looked somehow terrified at their daddy's outburst. This made her panicked too. She quickly grabbed Baekhyun's arm while he was scrolling through the contacts to call someone;  throwing a soft 'We'll be back in awhile.' at the kids, she brought him out of the room.

Munhee made sure the kids won't hear them by closing the door of the playroom. "Oppa, relax." She  tried to coax him as he looked like a lost puppy at that moment. She took the phone away from his hand so that his attention would be solely on her,  "Is everything okay? You look.. tensed." She pointed out.

Baekhyun seemed to get stiffened, and then he masked his worried face with his cold gaze,  "Y-Yeah, everything's fine. But don't forget, you aren't allowed to drive. You don't want to use Uber or taxi, then it's fine. I'll drive you."  His statement sounded a contrast to his cold gazes. But his offer did manage to pick Munhee's heart rate.

" It's okay, you don't have to. I just thought it would be handy to use your car as our grocery list is way too long, I'd be buying a lot of things. But since you are disliking the idea of me driving your car, I think I'd rather use an Uber. I'll go now. I'll be back soon." Munhee said and made her way towards outside.

Baekhyun, out of nowhere,  grabbed her by her left arm,  "I said, I'll drive you there." He said with finality in his tone. "Wait for me, it will take me five minutes to change." He stated firmly.

Stunned by the physical contact, Munhee nodded dumbly. Then she suddenly remembered,  "Wait, what about the kids? If you come along, who will look after them?" They couldn't leave them on their own in this huge house, the kids were too small for it.

Baekhyun half turned in his track,  "Jun and Jisoo aren't home either. Guess we are all going out." He delivered before going towards his room.

'We're all going out? That means, this will be a family outing? Our first family outing.' Munhee muttered to herself, unconsciously a small smile took place in her face.

She ran inside the kids playroom and exclaimed with a bright beam,  "Girls, we're going out! Let's get you ready." Both Miseo and Sarang cheered with brighter beams at the mention of going out.
