Mina curled up, her knees to her chest and her back against the wall of her bedroom. Tears spilled from her eyes, small sobs releasing through her lips as she tried to keep her volume to a minimum. Why did she have to marry such an asshole of a man? Why didn't Seungmin have even an inch of sympathy in him?

She supposed part of it was her fault, she did have an affair. And with his brother. But Jisung wasn't being any different, she wanted to love him - or maybe just somebody who was willing to love her back. But she feared he'd make her sob the way he did to Hyuni. He'd be no better of a husband than his brother. She knew that.

But she couldn't raise Boka alone, sure she had her sister but Ina was younger and the girl wanted to travel the world, chase her dreams and live her life. So she would be alone, she couldn't think of anybody that would love her right. And that she'd love back with just as much adoration and just as big of a heart. Well, maybe she could but it was never going to happen. And she could never let anybody know her secrets, she'd never open up that closet door.

Maybe she didn't have to. Maybe somebody was willing to do that for her. Maybe it wasn't the closet door, maybe it was just the door to her bedroom.

"Mina?" The voice of a woman called out, Mina immediately knew who it was. It might've just been who she needed right then. "Mina, is everything okay?"

A soft gasp escaped Hyuni's lips when her eyes laid on Mina, bawling out her eyes and pushing herself into as tight of a ball as she possibly could. "Mina, honey, hey what's wrong?" The, slightly younger, woman exclaimed as she dropped to Mina's side and wrapped her arm around in a side hug. Although the shorter quickly moved and wrapped her entire self around the younger. "Mina..."

"I'm sorry for being the woman your husband cheated on you with. If it makes it any better, he never loved me. Nor did Seungmin, nobody ever did." Mina almost rambled out, not moving from the embrace she was held in. Hyuni comfortingly stroked her hand down Mina's long brunette locks, her nails brushing out the knots Mina had missed when she brushed her hair that morning.

"Not- um, who says it was nobody?" Hyuni asked, catching herself on her words as she tried to choose what way to say what she wished to say.

"Well, who does? My daughter and sister don't count. I mean romantically, who loves me romantically?"

Hyuni paused, before just racking up the courage to just say it. "I do."

Mina was taken aback, although she secretly hoped that was what the younger would say. "Hyuni... I love you too." The shorter smiled softly, pulling away from the hug and leaning in again - to seal their secret with a kiss.

"I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? Boki, the boys, me and you - we can go home. Leave those soulless men behind, we can be happy."

Mina nodded slightly, feeling Hyuni wipe her tears with her thumbs and bring her back into another hug. "Thank you, Hyuni."

"It's an honour, my dear Mina." The taller replied, feeling the hug get warmer as she noticed that their kids had entered the room and joined in. Changbin wrapped his arms around them at the side whilst Chan and Boka attached themselves to the other side.

"Lesbians for the win." Changbin chuckled, growing an even larger smile than the one worn before on his mother and Mina's face.

"Indeed." Hyuni laughed, feeling at peace for the first time in a long time. And she felt that was gonna last forever.
