＜Episode 122＞ Happy Birthday 2
After that, my memory was fuzzy.
However, it was clear that the tension was released all at once, and that it was difficult to stand still.
The person who worked hard for a long time is Si-eun. He was a very nice husband.
In the midst of this, there were two things that were cleverly engraved on his head.
Our newborn daughter. And the eyes of Si-eun, who was still holding the baby like a gore.
Both were supremely lovely and precious to me.
After a brief meeting, our baby was sent to the neonatal room. On the other hand, the birth of a baby does not mean the end of the birth process, so Si-eun had to endure a little more.
Is it because of the joy of holding a baby? At this time, Si-eun did not appear to be in a lot of trouble.
All this time, I kept saying, “You worked hard. Si-eun-ah.” And it was just back and forth.
For my wife who persevered through a long and lonely time.
After completing the following procedures, Si-eun headed to the hospital room.
Of course, I was going to follow him right away, but I was caught by a nurse and had to listen to an explanation. The baby came out well, and it was a story like when it was possible to visit the newborn room.
Afterwards, I had to organize my belongings left in the family delivery room. I took out the clothes I had taken out just in case, and the socks went back to the maternity bag.
Looking at the bag full of things to use in the hospital room and the kitchen, I thought that there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
So I packed my things and came out of the delivery room.

My mother was standing outside.I guess he was just waiting for the door to open. Mom came over to me with a sad smile.
I looked at him quietly, and suddenly he came to his senses.
“Uh, when did you come?”
“In the early morning.”
It was a light tone.
it’s dawn When I left, I glanced at the clock and saw that it was past 9 o’clock. How many hours have you been waiting outside?
I heard that only mothers and husbands were allowed to enter the delivery room. So we couldn’t go inside, but we had time to talk for a while. If you had given me a message, I would have tried to come out.
“You didn’t even contact me.”
At my words, Mom hurriedly waved her hand.
“a. How would you? Both must be suffering… … . As a mother and as a mother-in-law, you shouldn’t do that.”
“Ugh.”
I do not know, but it is certain that Si-eun suffered for a long time. Whatever the reason, if I left Si-eun’s side, it might have left me with a feeling of nagging for the rest of my life. Even if it didn’t come out of my mouth, I might have heard a sad heart.
When I responded to the deep consideration with a bow, my mother laughed. Either way, it’s ruthless.
“Did the child go well?”
“yes. There were difficult moments in the middle… … . How did it go?”
“Gosh. It was really hard work.”
“The hard work was done by Si-eun, not me.”
“It is not.”

Mom gently nodded her head.“You know, the first time a child is upset is when they come out of the world. You don’t know how hard it was to give birth to my son.”
“Well, I didn’t mean to do that on purpose.”
“It would have been. My son, I’ve never been heartbroken before.”
After throwing nonsense, this story came back. For some reason, he was a bit humble, and he only scratched the back of his neck, which didn’t even tickle.
Seeing me like this, my mother smiled softly.
“It’s still the first, but it must be fast enough, isn’t it? I guess it’s because I’m still young.”
“It could be.”
I heard that it takes quite a while to give birth in case of first childbirth. It was the knowledge I learned while studying childbirth. It seems that some mothers give birth only after a full day has passed, so in terms of time, it is relatively short.
However, it didn’t make it any less painful. He even managed to get his body up to the brink of the limit and give him strength. Rather, it must have been very difficult.
Si-eun like that is wonderful, thank you, I’m sorry, and… … .
I can’t make fun of my mouth because of all kinds of emotions. Noticing my condition, my mother patted my back lightly.
“Anyway, let’s go. It must have been difficult for Si-eun. You should go quickly and say you did a good job.”
“no. let’s go together. I should be able to see you now.”
“done. If the two of you talk for a bit, I’ll go in later. Si-eun should call her mother too. Just talk comfortably and call me.”
“Well… … . Yes. I will call you later.”
Kindness was accepted with gratitude.
When the story was over, Mom said, “Yes.” Then he turned his back and walked towards the elevator. I’d rather go out and talk on the phone than in the middle of the hallway.
Soon the elevator arrived. The door opens with a ding sound effect. Mom got into the elevator and waved.
On his slightly wrinkled face, there was a slight sense of loneliness.
“Mom.”
“yes? why?”
When I called her before the door closed, Mom asked with a smile.
Take a deep breath and say
“Thank you for giving birth and raising me until now.”
A word to convey what I have felt so far.
Not just today. Even in the past few months, when Si-eun had a hard time embracing her child. While talking to my mother-in-law. While studying about the future parenting process. There was always a similar feeling.
Going beyond loving someone, building a family and becoming a parent was by no means easy.
This time, the mother laughed. I said it out of joking. It’s a bit too much to get a response like this.
As I was thinking like that, my mother looked at me.
“The blunt son said all these things.”
Then after taking a deep breath.
“You’re really grown up, now.”
With a kind smile, he replied:
The elevator door slowly closed.
There seemed to be a little bit of moisture in the corners of the mother’s eyes, which could be seen through the gap.

When I went to the location given to me by the nurse, I saw the name ‘Yoo Si-eun’.

My heart is pounding for some reason. Emotions similar to excitement were boiling over, and my heart could hardly be calmed.After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly pushed the door to the hospital room.
A single room with warm morning sunlight. Si-eun was lying on the bed exhausted and exhausted.
eyes were squinted. The tension on his face had disappeared and he looked relieved. Under the blanket, my heart was slowly going up and down in line with the sound of my breathing.
I think I fell asleep as soon as I got to the hospital.
It deserves it. After suffering enough to drop my whole body, I gave birth to Sarang. Even if it wasn’t, I stayed up all night due to labor pain. There’s nothing special about being sleepy.
I don’t want to disturb my sleep. I stepped forward as quietly as possible.
I was trying to
Si-eun’s eyes suddenly opened.
“uh? I’m here?”
After confirming my existence, Si-eun asked in a hoarse voice. He had a loose smile on his face. The half-closed eyes showed a sense of fatigue and lethargy.
At this moment, my body moved erratically.
He trudged his feet and made his way to the side of the bed. With slow steps, as if in a hurry to do something.
Even in Si-eun’s eyes, who watched me slowly, there was a glimmer of surprise.
So I finally stood next to Si-eun.
He leaned back and hugged Si-eun’s slender body.
In my arms, the feeling of Si-eun’s trembling passed over.
I don’t know why Is it thanks to Si-eun who gave birth to a baby? Is it sorry for the suffering Si-eun? Perhaps, seeing Si-eun during childbirth, she was afraid inside that something might go wrong.
Anyway, I didn’t want to let Si-eun go now. As I hugged her as tightly as I could, Si-eun gently wrapped her arms around my back.
The time continued without saying a word, only feeling each other’s body temperature.
It was Si-eun’s voice that broke the silence.
“Long time no see… … .”
“yes?”
As he urged the blurry back words, Si-eun gave more strength to the arms around her back.
“It’s been a while since I hugged you tight… … i love it.”
“… … What?”
What were you trying to talk about? The corners of his lips soared endlessly at the very charming words. Even the sound of suffocating laughter flowed into Si-eun’s ear.
Si-eun, who would normally be furious not to laugh, didn’t seem to have the energy to do that today.
I’m sure I haven’t been hugged tight in the last few months. Si-eun likes to be hugged tightly. It seems that Si-eun was again dissatisfied with taking care of the baby for fear that it would be dangerous.
Do I have to hug you all day to make up for a few months’ worth?
Well, at least while we’re talking now, I’ll have to hold him. With Si-eun in her arms, she whispered while stroking her head and back.
“I suffered so much. Si-eun.”
Si-eun lifted her shoulders as if it was tickling the sound of my words, and then in a soft tone.
“You told me before.”
“Uh, did you hear everything?”
“Then you didn’t hear me?”
well I was so crazy, I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t hear it.
However, after hearing my encouragement, he finally gave me strength. It would be more correct to interpret that everything was clearly heard.
Si-eun’s words continued as if affirming my thoughts.
“I listened to everything. I’m too busy… … When you feel like you’re going to lose your mind Thanks to Honey’s hard work and support, I was able to try one more time.”
“Did you? I’m glad… … . It was really hard work. honey.”
When I answered in an adult and soothing tone, Si-eun rubbed her face on my shoulder.
Did you think you were going to lose your mind? Si-eun, who overcame such a difficult time alone, was extraordinary. I, who could only support you by my side, felt helpless again.
I bit my lip for a moment.
“Really, I’m so sorry that I couldn’t do anything next to you.”
“I can’t do anything. You kept telling me to stay strong.”
“Because that’s all I could do.”
“That’s it.”
Si-eun answered firmly and patted my back. The person who gave birth to a child through hardship is Si-eun. He was, after all, an absurd husband.
“What else did you want to do in the first place?”
“I’d rather give birth to you instead.”
“Then, would you like to have a baby girl next time?”
“Well. Shall I come and ask if it is possible?”
“Don’t play around.”

My joke was so funny, Si-eun chuckled for a while.He smiled like this, even with a hoarse voice, and he was relieved for an hour. It looked like he had regained some free time, so it was really fortunate.
Come to think of it, there is one thing that can only be decided after having a child. By the way, Si-eun’s condition looks good. It would be better to discuss it this time.
He didn’t stop stroking his hand and opened his mouth.
“honey.”
“yes?”
“Because our love, the birthday and the time of birth have been decided. Now let’s give it a real name.”
“ah.”
Si-eun seemed to have come to mind now.
The name ‘Love’ is Taemyung. It should be given a name that will be called for the rest of its life.
If you start calling them early, your rapport with your parents will be faster. As much as possible, I wanted to make a decision while Si-eun was in the hospital.
For me, it’s okay to use ‘love’ as it is. Si-eun may have a different opinion. Since the date of birth and birth date have also been announced, you may be asked to go to the naming center and get your name.
I quietly waited for Si-eun’s answer.
After hesitating for a while, Si-eun spoke up.
“Actually, I have a name I came up with.”
“okay?”
Did you already have a name dotted on it? This was a bit unexpected. Should I say that it is Si-eun with thorough preparation?
“What?”
When asked immediately, Si-eun spoke in a clear tone.
“one.”
“one?”
“yes. What do you think?”
“It’s pretty. What do you mean by any chance?”
Si-eun also answered the question in a serious manner.
“Because it’s the first one.”
“… … Well.”
It’s pretty simple too. I don’t think he’s going to be like me… … .
Anyway, if you add my surname to ‘Lee Hana’. It was a quiet and attractive sound. Pronunciation was easy, and it was at least simple in English. No matter where you go, you won’t be teased for your name.
There is, however, only one problem.
“Then how do you build the second one? two? idoo? It’s not a very common name.”
“Um, is that so? Because I’ve never heard of a name like eight.”
“right.”
… … eight?
“Anyway.”
Si-eun just cut her luck after she cut it.
“The first one can be built as one, and the second can be built in a different way. What do you think?”
“What.”
I didn’t really have any complaints. Rather, I wonder if I have the right to reconsider. Because over 20 years of my life, I have learned clearly that I am far from any kind of sense.
On the other hand, Si-eun has enough sense in every way. One way would be to leave it alone.
After repeating a bit of anguish, she parted her lips.
“okay. Let’s do that.”
“yes.”
Si-eun sighed with a sweet laugh.
Below, la.
I feel like a parent after giving my child a name like this. Not only did I feel that way, but I actually became a parent… … .
Anyway, the hurdle that seemed high and high has finally been crossed. A sigh came out as soon as the restlessness subsided.
Si-eun, who couldn’t even share her body properly for 10 months, will feel much more comfortable now. Parenting after that… … The two of us should share the suffering.
Si-eun, who was in her arms, laid back on the bed as it was. Si-eun pouted her lips as if she was still lacking, but for now, isn’t recovery first? Because there are still several decades left before the day I can hug you.
Instead, he patted his head and said.
“First, take a break. Let’s go see one later.”
“… … okay.”
What a sloppy conversation. Is it a wish for more hugs? I felt it from the first time we met, but I think it’s really selfish.
Of course, these things are not spoken of.
“honey.”
“why?”
He followed Si-eun’s pouting eyes, facing him straight.
“thank you.”
What was handed over was a simple thank you.
But, of course, there were countless hearts buried in this.
Si-eun looked at me with a blank expression while maintaining a sullen expression. It was as if they were having a snowball fight, only looking at each other. Meanwhile, our lips didn’t even budge.
After quite some time, the answer finally came.
“no.”
Si-eun closed her eyes and seemed to savor the gratitude I gave her.
“… … I am much more grateful.”
Soon after, he added:
With a smile as fresh as the sunlight through the window, full of it.
It is said that mothers who gave birth to children look the prettiest in the world. I guess it was really true.
Right now, Si-eun in front of me is blooming a brighter and more dazzling smile than ever before.
I looked at her face from a distance and opened her mouth.
“Si-eun.”
“why?”
Si-eun tilted her head as if she wanted to ask what else.
I asked Si-eun like that without even making eye contact.
“… … Can I hug you again?”
Si-eun chuckled at my question and clicked her tongue.
