Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

20.

When the alarm broke the peaceful slumber of Munhee, only then she realized that she'd again slept on the bed, when the last thing she remembered she was gulping down some new questions on her study table, which was situated at least twenty steps away from the bed.

Did this mean she actually sleepwalked till the bed? 

Munhee's attention diverted when she heard a groan, Baekhyun. "Ah! Stop it already!" Baekhyun groaned again as the alarm tone ringed brutally.

Munhee felt too sleepy and tired to even react on the fact that the both of them had seemingly slept on the same bed. This wasn't the first time they did it, was it? 

Munhee switched the alarm off as she groggily sat up, stretched up her limbs to kick off the tiredness from having to study till god knows how much till late night. She raked her gaze towards the sleeping figure right beside her. Then she saw the extra pillows carefully organized between their bodies, which might've worked perfectly as a boundary between them.

'Wait, does it mean Baekhyun was the one to bring me into the bed yesterday night? Also the previous night?'    Munhee thought as her eyes slightly widened in realization, but even if he did, it's not any big deal, right?  He had done this the time when Munhee was drunk too.

"Right, Munhee. You have bigger issues to think about. You have a freaking final today " She whispered to herself so that it would give her a push to not ponder over meaningless thoughts and concentrate on her biggest issue on hand.

By the time Munhee was done with her morning routine and also took a quick shower, because it helped her to keep her head cool during the stress of exams, and emerged out from the washroom, she found Baekhyun already sitting up on the bed, rubbing his eyes....cutely.

"You're going to office?" Munhee asked casually while drying her hairs with her towel.

Baekhyun looked up at her face when he was done rubbing his eyes, ruffling his already ruffled hair as well,  "No." He replied, his voice deeply gruffed from the sleep.

Munhee didn't ask him any further as they didn't actually speak much in general. Whenever they'd speak, it somehow ended up in destructive arguments or little banters. So, she left him sitting there.

As it was rather early in the morning, she didn't wake the kids, but she did peek into their room to watch them sleeping for a minute. It was as if she had become pretty much habituated with these little angels and the fact that she wouldn't be seeing them till afternoon, made her stare at their sleeping faces another minute more.

Munhee made her way into the kitchen after she was satisfied with her watching session. She badly wanted to give them some goodbye kisses too, but taken that their slumber would usually get lighter in the morning and even slightest touch could wake them up, so she managed to hold her motherly instinct from jumping out.

Munhee poured water into the coffee maker to start making her coffee, that was when Baekhyun joined her out of nowhere, "Make some for me too."  He mumbled.

He was already in better clothing than his home clothes, but not the formal one, more like in a casual outfit. Munhee was contemplating whether she should ask his plans for today or just shut her mouth like she originally planned while she added coffee powder along with extra water for Baekhyun's portion.

The next few moments of Munhee pouring the hot coffee into two mugs and serving before the two of them were passed in silence, an awkward one, as both of them didn't know what they should talk about when they had no topic to argue.
