Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

33.

TWO MONTHS LATER........

              Munhee hugged the soft pillow closer to her after realizing that today was Saturday, meant more sleep. Even though she was already half awake - since it had become her regular routine to wake up at seven in the morning ever since the kids had started going to school, she kept her eyes closed to enjoy the fact that today being weekend she could easily lounge in the bed at least one or two hours more. 

    After dawdling on the bed for another twenty to thirty minutes, Munhee was now fully awake. She groaned as she couldn't get the amount sleep she wanted. She checked the time on her phone, it was still quite early to be up. She'd be bored to hell if she'd left the bed right now, as every other person in the house would be asleep at this hour. Also, she wouldn't have much work to do either, because Miss Lonn was some kind of one-man-army who had been managing all the works pretty diligently.

Munhee yawned and again turned her focus towards the extra pillow in the middle of the bed - which she'd been groping to sleep. While doing so, her eyes fell on the peacefully sleeping male in front of her, who was sleeping with his mouth open, a soft snore resonating from him, his now slightly long fringes falling elegantly over his forehead, that reminded Munhee to take a mental note for prompting Baekhyun to get a haircut when he'd wake up later, the one side of his face squashed into his pillow as he was sleeping on his side while facing her. The morning light peeking through the curtains allowed the girl to have a clear view of the scattered tiny moles all over his sun-kissed skin. If Munhee had to choose one as her favourite, she'd choose the very mole sitting just over his pink lips; though she liked each and every mole on his face as they were really tiny and they somehow seemed cute in her eyes.

Subconsciously, Munhee's lips stretched into a small smile seeing  Baekhyun's peaceful face. She couldn't help but to think how many changes had been mutated in the past weeks after they'd started living in the same room. Among those, the changes that were worth her decision was Baekhyun himself.

The changes might not be visible to any other person, but she lived through those and felt somehow accomplished at how Baekhyun's condition had been getting better in both physical and mental manner. He had almost gotten rid of the nightmares he used to have at nights, meaning he was having good sleep at nights. That resulted in lessening the dark and heavy bags that had been produced under his eyes. His lost weight had started to regain, though the loss of his weight wasn't visible in naked eyes, his medical reports had showed that he was losing his weight then. He had been controlling his anger quite well too, it can be said on this basis that they didn't have any major argument in these past weeks. According to Minseok, his sessions were going well, and at the rate he was going, he'd only need those sessions only once every month.

Munhee's thoughts of all favourable outcomes of the decision she'd taken two months back, were broken when Baekhyun moved from his current position and threw his hand over the pillow - which Munhee was groping at the moment, startling the girl at either the sudden movement, or the sudden physical contact, or might be both. Carefully, she pulled back her hand from the weight of his own, so that he wouldn't end up holding hers.

"Look now who's crossing the boundary!"  Munhee muttered under her breath while rolling her eyes at her husband. Well, the topic of crossing the boundaries wasn't new between the pair of them. But this new boundary which was the pillow, lying in the middle of their bed was the idea of the sleeping male himself.

Well, it wasn't that Munhee was unhappy of the boundary between their bodies. She still quite clearly remembered, it was after a few days of her staying in the room, when the incident that resulted in Baekhyun suggesting to keep this pillow in between them had happened. One morning, both of them had woken up while having their bodies in tangles, their faces inches away from one another, Baekhyun's limbs snaking around Munhee as if he didn't want to let her go even an inch away from himself. That had horrified the male enough to make this clever decision, so that there wouldn't be any accidents like that in the future. Stupidly enough, that incident could still manage to make her face warmer than her skin's natural temperature.
