Heal Me (Married To Brother-in-law)

36.

"God, I still can't really believe that we're finally gonna graduate!" Mina sighed dreamily.

"Me neither!" Munhee joined in. They were currently at the huge auditorium of their campus, where the official ceremony would be held. The students were made to sit into the front rows so that it wouldn't be messy when they'd have to go over the stage to collect their degrees and all. So, all of their family members, other friends or guardians were seated at the second half of the auditorium.  

"My mum asked me thrice already, whether I've really passed all my exams or I'm just bluffing." Nayeon spoke, rolling her eyes, the other two girls giggled.

"But now she'd believe as she'd watch you getting the degree with her own eyes."  Mina said while pointing back at Nayeon's mother who was seated with Nayeon's father at somewhere in the back. Nayoen waved at her parents and posed for a victory sign when they raised their camera to click a picture of their daughter from afar.

Munhee also turned back to locate her parents and her babies, only to be surprised by seeing both of Baekhyun's parents were also there. All four pair of hands waved at her and smiled at her brightly.  Munhee recovered from the surprise and waved them back, smiling at the feeling of having so many people to be here on her special day. Her smile doubled when the pair of grandparents of her babies made the little ones wave at her as well.

Her eyes traced the other seats besides her family members, searching for a certain someone, but didn't find any trace of her husband. To say, she was a little disappointed, wouldn't be a lie. Sighing to herself she turned back to focus on the front stage.

"Hey, aren't those your sister's kids? They're so cute! Omg!" Nayeon squealed noticing Miseo and Sarang sitting on their Grandparent's laps.

Munhee could only nod with a small smile. It's already been months that she'd been with them as their mother, so now it sounded a little weird to hear that they're her sister's daughters, it's as if the kids have blended with her soul so perfectly that there wasn't any gap left, the three of them had accepted each other wholeheartedly.

"Yeah, they're really cute. Let's meet them after the ceremony. Aww look at that, they're wearing purple dresses like Munhee!"  Mina also squealed seeing the little sunshines.

Munhee grinned proudly, it felt nice when people called her babies cute.

"It's really cute how the three of you have matched your dresses. It makes me want to match with my own kids too."  Nayeon said dreamily, making Munhee gulp.

"Stupid, you have to get married first to have babies! So you don't have any babies now." Mina slapped Nayeon's arms playfully.

"I was talking about my future kids. Though, I envy Munhee, she's already getting expert in this field. She'd be an awesome mother by the time she'd be married and have her own kids." Nayeon wiggled her brows, both of the girls smiling at her.

Unbeknownst to them, Munhee's throat had dried up at that. Before she could drown in some deep thoughts, the dean and the other guests along with their teachers stepped on the stage and the graduation ceremony started.

Munhee gave a last glance at the back to search that one familiar face among the sea of people present there, a heavy feeling settled inside her heart when she was failing to find him. Heaving another sigh, she tried to focus on whatever the dean and the teachers were saying in their speeches.

The official ceremony was finally coming to an end. The top students were honoured with dean's awards, and the rest were also praised and given their well deserved degree. After that the official cameraman and his crew instructed them to gather in front of the main building of their campus, so that they could capture the prideful happy moments for the uni's magazine.
