Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

32.

"What are you doing here?"

Munhee could clearly see how Baekhyun's face morphed into initial shock to realization, and then finally his face scrunched in a way that could only be stated as anger.

She gripped the bedsheet under her palms tighter, gaining the strength to stay calm and keep the raging male calm while she sat up.   "I thought you invited me to stay here? You said it's okay if I start staying here with you."  Munhee timidly yet boldly told him, reminded him of his own words.

His creased brows straightened a little, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breathes as if to calm himself with much force, and sat up straight as well.   "Yeah, I... did say it."  He agreed, sending a feeling of relief to the timid girl.   "But I didn't expect you to come and sleep here without notifying me beforehand. Look, the way it turned out, is inappropriate!"   He gritted, his face and tone were the fair proof that he didn't like the outcome at all. And even though he wasn't shouting at her, or was under enough control not to shoo her out of his room at that instant, Munhee knew it was because he was fighting inwardly with himself to keep his anger on check.

"Baekhyun, nothing inappropriate has happened here!"   Munhee raised her voice a little more than previous, to stand her ground strongly.

"Well, for me, the way we woke up, that's inappropriate enough. And I don't even remember how I ended up like that. I know I've told you that I'm going to accept you as my wife, but that doesn't mean we can just do.... you can't just.."  Baekhyun heaved a sigh, he couldn't continue but she wasn't a dumb to not understand what he had meant.

His words incarnated an eye roll from Munhee,    "Look, I don't know why do you always think of me as a horny bunny who would grope at any chance to jump on your body, but I'm not like that!  Last night,  I simply came here to check up on you."   She explained, or at least tried to. 

"Why would you need to check up on me?"   Baekhyun asked ignoring her previous comment, his voice suspicious, his eyes searching for answers with his piercing gaze.

Munhee didn't know whatever she had just decided on a whim was whether accurate to do or not, but she honestly didn't want to play anymore hide and seek. She was tired of making lame excuses every time. And after witnessing his condition in the previous night, she knew she had to be with him no matter what. And according to her, it's for the best if she'd just directly talk face to face with him without hiding facts from him.

"Actually, I... I met Minseok."  Munhee hurriedly blabbed while keeping her eyes closed, before she lost her balls to confess the truth.

"You met whom?"   Baekhyun asked, his eyes round with shock. If it wasn't a serious discussion, Munhee would've found him laughably cute.  'Okay, you're losing your focus. Stay focused!'   Inner Munhee scolded herself.  

She cleared her throat and tied her hairs to kill more time, so that she could prepare herself for any kind of blow coming from the male sitting just a few inches away from her.     "Minseok oppa, your friend. We talked. And yes, he has already told me everything what you wanted to hide from me."   She crossed her arms over her chest as she saw him getting weaker and his mortified face gave that away.

"You're not beating around the bush to grasp the real truth from me. Are you?"   Baekhyun asked, now seemingly nervous and maybe scared for some reason.

"I came here last night to check whether you were sleeping, or you're having trouble just like Minseok oppa has explained. And seems like he was right. You were having nightmares."   Munhee revealed. And she kinda felt like a huge weight was moved down from her chest after she had told him the truth.
