"Okay, spill." Was the first thing Munhee's mother said as soon as they entered in a spare room.

Munhee had her heart thumping in her throat during the whole journey till this room. Her messed up head tangled in more complicated thoughts just by thinking about having to face her mother's interrogation session.

Munhee knew her mother too well, the older lady was persistent as hell when it came to make her daughters spilling their secrets out, she would never let her slide with any silly, on the spot made excuses.

"Mun, I'm talking to you. Why were you both arguing like this? At first, I thought it's your childish arguments, but when I saw the tears in your eyes...." Her mother sighed as Munhee didn't seem like she was ready to open her mouth, since the girl kept her head down the whole time.  "Mun, sweetie, you have to tell me! Or I'm going to keep assuming things and end up interrogating Baekhyun."

Munhee's ducked head perked up at the mention of her mother interrogating Baekhyun.  "Mom, stop threatening me. I'm not your little girl anymore. I'm a married woman. It's my personal issue now. I can handle everything on my own. Stop worrying over silly issues." Munhee shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, trying to appear okay despite her breakdown just a minute ago.

"Married or not, you're my child. The only one left among my two children. I can't just stop worrying over you when I see you in this state!" Her mother protested softly.

Munhee's eyes swelled at her mother's words. If she was in her mother's place, she'd definitely go nuts while worrying about her daughters if she'd ever find them crying and arguing with their husbands.  'Should I tell mom everything? But she'd be hurt. She'd be more than worried!'  She was having an internal battle regarding her choice of disclosure.

"Okay, you want to handle this on your own? Then do it. I won't interfere in your way of managing your personal life, I promise. Just share with me about what happened? Please Mun. I'm requesting you!"  Her mother practically begged and Munhee couldn't take this anymore. No matter how strong she tried to appear, even the strongest object could break after a certain time, so did she.

"Okay, fine." Munhee heaved a huge sigh, clearing her closing up throat,  "Baekhyun and I aren't on a good page." Munhee started, not knowing from where to start, how much to let out.  "He holds me responsible for U-Unnie's death." Munhee's lips quivered at the mention of her sister's death, the wound of which is still raw and painful.  "So... the argument you overheard, these kind of arguments are... pretty normal between us. It's either we don't talk at all, or we start arguing over anything. There's no in between. We're kind of in a hostile state." 

"Oh my god! I thought you two were doing well as it's been weeks!  I didn't expect Baekhyun to turn out like this. But I can't even say anything to him. That poor boy loved my Myung with his everything." Tears brimmed in her mother's eyes as she reminisced how lovely the pair of Baekhyun and Myunghee used to be.  "But, he needs to control his grief.  And he needs to know that death is something that can't be changed and can't be controlled. It was my poor child's fate to die at such a young age. You don't have anything to do with Myung's d-death." Munhee's mother held her hands and let her know that she shouldn't be feeling guilty.
