Byul-yi got home carrying a peaceful sleeping beauty in her arms and Stella ran to give her baby sister a little kiss on the hand.

Yongsun caressed her child and gave a peck on her wife’s lips.

__ Why are you two coming home that late?

__ Ah, besides all our plans, we had an extra stop.__ The handsome woman said and got upstairs to put the baby in bed.

The dark-haired woman waited for her best friend and lover to come back to ask:

__ I am curious now. What about this extra stop?

__ Please, don’t be angry. Please, please.__ The taller one made a cute face and put the hands in a prayer position.

Yongsun’s body froze. She knew the other one too well and Byul-yi rarely acted like that, which scared her.

__ What did you do, Byul-yi?

Taking a deep breath, the brunette faced her wife and declared:

__ I went to your mother’s house.

Breathing in and out, the woman controlled herself to speak with her daughter:

__ Bunny, could you go play with Tomato or have some fun in your room?

Giving a scared look at her other mother, she responded with a murmur:

__ Okay, mom.

Byul-yi smiled at her first child and gestured that everything was fine.

The black-haired woman waited for the cute girl to go as far to exclaim:

__ YOU DID WHAT?

__ I can explain.

The older one gritted her teeth:

__ Please, Byul! Do explain why you acted behind my back and looked for someone who simply rejected me for thinking about my daughter and because she has been a homophobic all her life and hates you.

__ I didn’t act behind your back. It just crossed my mind that maybe she had changed and I know family is important. Everybody makes mistakes. I wanted to give her a chance to redeem herself with you. And I knew you would try to stop me.__ The taller one had a sad expression.

Yongsun slapped the wall and started climbing the stairs.

__ I can’t even look at you right now. You knew I would try to stop you and you did it, anyway. That’s acting behind my back. I am very disappointed. I could expect a betrayal from anybody but you.

__ Yong, please... Hear me out...

The black-haired woman grunted.

__ I don’t even want to look at you. Let alone hear from you. Don’t you dare sleep beside me!

Byul-yi stood there in the middle of the living room with a devastated expression.

After walking around the house for hours, the younger woman ended up falling asleep in Helena’s bedroom, sitting on a chair.

__ x __

5 days had passed, and Yongsun hadn’t forgiven Moonbyul or even talked to her. 

The only exception was when Stella and Helena were around because the older woman knew her wife was an exemplary mother and she didn’t want to disturb the good relationship of the taller one with the kids. Or make her oldest daughter suffer.

The brunette had tried to reach out in many ways. Even through text messages, voice messages, and cute videos. But nothing was melting the wall of ice built by Yongsun.

On the fourth day, Stella hugged Byul-yi from behind on the couch and asked:

__ Why are you and mom not talking?

__ What? Of course, we are talking, bunny?

The girl declared with deep eyes:

__ I know things are not okay. I saw you walking around the house during the night and you’re sad, mommystar.

The mother smiled and caressed the chubby cheeks with her thumb.

__ You’re right. I’m sad. I did something with good intentions, but I didn’t respect your mother’s opinion, which is very wrong. Now I’m paying
