THE ELEVATOR RIDE WAS QUIET. Min Si figured she'd say something to break the silence, but while standing there with him, she realized she didn't mind it.
And she didn't think he did either.
It was one of those peaceful silences that she didn't feel pressured to fill.
When they reached his floor, the doors opened to a maid standing off to the side. She started to bow slowly until her eyes caught Min Si and she paused.
Min Si opened her mouth to say something, though she was unsure what, until Seok Hoon did a quick head shake towards the maid, dismissing whatever she was thinking.
Maybe Dan Tae told them not to allow me here again.
Or maybe she was there the night it happened and recognized me.
Min Si glanced over her shoulder to get a look at her again, when Seok Hoon placed a steady hand on her back, bringing her back to reality.
She almost jumped from his touch, and tried to appear as calm as possible in the house.
But flashes of memories were already flooding back into her head.
Seeing the foyer, the hallway leading to their bedrooms, his study room.
It seemed Seok Hoon must've noticed too, because when they both saw the center glass wall room, she felt him tense up next to her.
"Let's... go to the kitchen." He said dryly.
Min Si didn't know why he had a strong look of unease at everything around him too.
Like he was also seeing their home for the first time since that night.
He cleared his throat and opened their freezer.
"Do you want some ice cream?"
The ask was enough to make the corners of her lips tug upwards in a smile that wasn't forced.
"Sure. Thank you."
When she had one scoop of mint chocolate chip, and one of strawberry, she felt satisfied as if every other worry floated away.
She may have been born into a family of renowned chefs, but it was simple ice cream that was her real comfort food.
She glanced up at Seok Hoon who had a twisted expression on his face.
