Brad turned to look at Tae-Joon and raised an eyebrow when he noticed Tae-Joon was blinking rapidly and trying to clean his eyes, "Don't tell me you're crying," Brad asked incredulously.
"I'm not!" Tae-Joon said defensively when everyone turned to look at him.
"I can swear I saw you wiping your eyes like one of the ladies," Brad teased, making Melanie laugh despite her sob. She had thought she would never hear her boys arguing again, but here they were, twenty-seven years later, still bickering.
"That's exactly how you used to bicker as kids," Melanie said with a wobbly smile as both Brad and Tae-Joon walked over to where she was seated. Brad felt very awkward since he didn't know how he was supposed to comfort her or what he was supposed to say to her.
"Who is older?" Brad decided to ask an easy question to lighten the air.
"You are older by a minute," Melanie said, making Brad hit Tae-joon's back.
