＜Episode 137＞ First Birthday Party 1
It was much more comfortable than I expected.
It was the thought I had after wearing a hanbok in the changing room on the day of one first birthday party.
I don’t have much experience attending such events as a lead role. No, not a lot, not a lot.
At best, it was only a wedding, but even then, emotion and excitement took precedence over tension. Other than that, there may be my first birthday party, but I was only 1 year old at the time. There is no memory left
After all, I am the type of person who is not nervous at any event.
Perhaps, the liver is surprisingly large.
As I was about to be immersed in this thought, the door to the dressing room next door swung open.
“Wait?”
Unlike me, the voice conveys some tension.
When I turned around, there were two pretty people there.
there can be no other I was one with Si-eun.
The one in Si-eun’s arms was dressed in a pink hanbok. Even though he kept grimacing at how uncomfortable his clothes were, he was held tightly by Si-eun.
I wore it a few times at home to get used to it, but I guess it wasn’t enough.
Si-eun was also wearing a hanbok.
I saw it while choosing clothes to wear on my first birthday party… … Again, Si-eun in hanbok was pretty.
A light pink top with pretty patterns embroidered on it. The pale yellow skirt shone on Si-eun’s liveliness. While retaining beauty, it overflows with dignity. It was to the point of inadvertently taking my attention away.
Long, black hair, which had the same characteristic, was fixed with a hairpin. It was a feeling of elegance. Thanks to this, the pure white nape of the neck appeared as it was.
“honey.”
Si-eun tilted her head when she called out.
“why?”
It looks like you want to say something. Without answering this, he took one step closer to Si-eun.
Then he stretched out his hand… … He stabbed Si-eun’s white and white neck.
“.”
Perhaps the unexpected stimulus tickled Si-eun, shaking her shoulders and making this sound.
Then, he quickly frowned and turned into a grumpy face. Of course, his face was on me.
“what are you doing?”
“I pressed it once because it was white.”
“Do you think that explains it?”
What if there is no explanation? I can’t even use my hands as long as I’m holding one. He smiled brightly with the intention of passing it on.
Si-eun looked at me with fearful eyes.
He lowered one to the floor and stretched out both of my cheeks without mercy.
… … you could do this
“what’s the matter. honey.”
“You are punished because you are guilty.”
When asked with a tone that was as droopy as her cheeks, Si-eun showed her anger without hiding.
“crime?”
“Suddenly stabbed in the neck. The bee is pinching the cheek for an hour.”
“Where in the world is such a law?”
It was a justifiable point, but the pinching intensity only grew stronger. To inflict a dreadful ball pinch punishment for a single stab. There is no such thing as a very dictator.
Of course it didn’t hurt.
“It’s tough.”
Si-eun also took off her hand with a sound like this, apparently not intending to hurt her.
After that, he grabbed Hana, who had just escaped to the entrance of the dressing room, and clinged to me.
He rubbed both cheeks with the remaining texture and teased his mouth.
“Honey, in hanbok, you are really pretty.”
“Do you think that would make you angry?”
“uh? Aren’t you free?”
When asked politely, Si-eun snorted.
“Do more.”
oh oh If I do more, will my anger go away? If so, then you can do anything.
“It’s attractive and shows quality.”
“In addition?”
“It’s such an ideal appearance, so it’s like a painting.”
“and?”
“… … If I were to pick a person who stands at the pinnacle of beauty in the world, I think it would be the number one choice.”
“To overdo it.”
what do you mean
However, Si-eun’s expression, which she glanced at, was fully relaxed. The last word can be regarded as a sign of shame.
He chuckled and caressed Si-eun’s cheek. Si-eun, who closed her eyes and accepted my hand, smiled as if tickled.
The breathtakingly cute appearance made me want to hug her, but I have one, so I have to be patient.
Soon after, Si-eun opened her eyes and showed a refreshing smile.
“Honey too.”
“What?”
“Honey, that’s cool.”
As if in return, he whispered:
At my wife’s shy praise, a gentle smile was drawn on my face.
But well.
“Looking in the mirror, you look like some kind of Chinese teacher.”
Si-eun’s eyes narrowed as she raised the corners of her mouth.
“What are you talking about? Honey looks great no matter what she wears.”
“really?”
“At least in my eyes.”
“Then why don’t you look good without wearing anything?”
“Sounds like that in front of one again… … .”
“ah.”
That was it. When he showed the gesture of locking the zipper on his mouth, Si-eun clicked his tongue.

After finishing the cremation, we moved to the banquet hall where the first birthday party was held. It was meant to be a rehearsal of its own.
He hugged Hana, who was handed over to Si-eun, and looked around the inside of the banquet hall.
Since there were not many attendees, the banquet hall was also rented to a place that was not very large. Even if it’s a first birthday party, isn’t it a birthday party? The purpose was to invite only close people to celebrate one birthday together.
At first, we thought we might celebrate together at home, but, well, the good news would be better to celebrate in a grand way.
However, I have prepared everything that comes to mind when I think of the first birthday party.
Cakes, various flowers, and even various fruits. The box was filled with no gaps.
Behind it there was a space for our family to stand. This is where the screen will come down while playing the growth video.
As I turned my gaze upward, I saw a banner with the words ‘Hana, congratulations on your first birthday’.
He made eye contact with Hana, who was quietly held in his arms.
“Each of us is already one year old.”
“Wow!”
One hurrahed with his arms wide open. How can every move be so cute. Surrounded by a lovely feeling, he hugged one tightly.
Si-eun, who was next to him, also had a loose smile.
“Today, Hana looks better than usual.”
“I know. You must have known that today is your birthday.”
“no way.”
Then he stabs me with his elbow. that’s the word
Anyway, it was a different feeling to have my wife and baby by my side in the banquet hall where the first birthday party was held.
Even though I wasn’t trembling, my chest felt warm. There was no tension, but the feeling was new.
In a few hours, our first birthday party begins.
Parents, relatives, a couple of friends, So-hye, and Si-eun’s friends. Quite a few people will be celebrating our first birthday as one of us.
And, it’s been a year already.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
When I looked back on the time that had passed, it was just that every single thing was precious.
“honey.”
“yes?”
Si-eun smirked and looked at me. Is it because it’s a different style than usual? Even though it’s a reaction I always show, my heart is pounding.
We’ve been dating for two years and we’ve been married for over a year and a half. I guess I still haven’t confirmed all of my wife’s charms.
I can’t stand the itchy feeling. Averting his eyes, he answered.
“We are already one year old.”
“what? You said it before.”
“That’s what I said to Hana.”
This time, it was the story I wanted to convey to Si-eun.
Si-eun quietly nodded her head, as if she understood what she meant at that time.
“I know. It’s been a year. It has been a year since the day I gave birth to one because I suffered so much.”
“Honey has suffered since she had one in her stomach.”
“What? no.”
Si-eun shakes her head.
“At that time, Honey took care of me with all her heart, so I didn’t suffer much. Instead, there was a long time when I couldn’t even take a single step out of the house.”
“… … He was worried about the baby.”
“It means thank you.”
I don’t think it was meant to be sarcastic. Si-eun lightly wrapped one arm around my waist.
“When I was just married, I wanted to go around and enjoy my newlywed life. Honey can’t stand it, so she makes one.”
“Well, to be honest, we both couldn’t stand it.”
“Even if you don’t say that in front of Hana.”
It is a wise word. Except for the fact that he brought it up first.
I decided not to stutter and continued the conversation.
“But after you got pregnant, you spent time together in the room. We cook ramen together, eat together, and watch a movie with a beam projector.”
“yes. It was fun. at that time.”
“When I was stable, I enjoyed going on a date at the department store. When I started going to work, we had less time together.”
“Instead, you prepared this and that on the weekend and played with it. He also helped quite a bit with the housework. He does his job diligently and takes good care of his wife… … .”
Si-eun, who has said this up to this point, is smiling brightly.
“He’s a really good husband.”
“Uh, uh.”
I stuttered in embarrassment at the sudden compliment.
Si-eun looked up at me like this, and stroked my side with her arms.
“Then after we had one… … .”
“Ugh.”
They both burst into laughter at the same time. Predictably, I and Si-eun must have just remembered the same incident.
I checked the answer.
“There was a time when Honey got angry for the first time because I tried to help too much.”
“Uh huh… … .”
I guess the guess was right. Si-eun lowered her head and answered with a small voice that seemed to be buried in the air.
Do you want to avoid talking about the incident at the time? I don’t have any desire to hurt you either. I quickly recalled the next memory.
“Then I went to training camp.”
“right. At that time, I missed you so much.”
“He pretended not to be on the phone.”
“That’s it… … It’s because I’m embarrassed to be honest.”
Embarrassing protests followed.
If so, shouldn’t it be hidden until the end? On the day I got home, I opened the door and hugged me and burst into tears. No matter how ignorant I was, I had no choice but to see through my true heart.
Si-eun raised her gaze.
“Since then.”
Si-eun, who was lucky like this, caressed Hana in my arms. One is “Mom, Mom.” and responded. Si-eun’s eyes quickly filled with warmth.
“We did this and that while taking care of each other.”
“yes. I date too. We also talked about things at home.”
“I know.”
Si-eun sighed with a bright face. Her cheeks were dyed rosy.
okay. Looking back, it was even more true.
The time, which was covered with various memories and accumulated, was still precious.
Does Si-eun have a similar mind? Suddenly, Si-eun’s eyes gradually turned red.
I’m done with my makeup, so crying out loud would be in trouble. I can ask for makeup again, but that’s why Si-eun suffers. I wandered around trying to find a playful word that would quickly make Si-eun smile.
But to no avail.
Suddenly, a single tear fell from Si-eun’s eyes.
Si-eun smirked in embarrassment.
“Ahaha. I don’t know why I’m crying.”
“I am so impressed.”
“I know. I must have been impressed.”
Si-eun answered with a light tone and wiped her tears with a tissue placed in the corner of the banquet hall.
Fortunately, Si-eun’s tears were the last one. The makeup didn’t look too messy, so there was no need to ask for reinforcement.
However, Si-eun was still crying. Even after he stopped crying, he shook his shoulders for a while.
Perhaps, I am enduring it.
As usual, I would have held you in my arms. It was difficult to hold one now.
Besides, if I buried my face in my chest, my hanbok and Si-eun’s makeup would be messed up.
What should I do in this case?
After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.
“honey.”
“why?”
Si-eun responds with a shaky voice.
He looked straight into his red eyes and said.
“Are you back to back for a second?”
“What?”
Do you think it’s a silly joke? Si-eun rolled her eyes slightly.
He continued talking without hesitation.
“I can’t hug you. You can go back to back.”
“… … Huh.”
Si-eun let out a questionable sound. He stared intently at me, his eyes wide open.
It looks like he’s trying to read out his hidden intentions, but there’s no way there’s such a thing. I just want to calm my mind.
Still, Si-eun’s scan didn’t last long. In the end, Si-eun silently headed behind me.
After a while, something warm touched my back.

Maybe it’s Si-eun’s back.A soft touch was transmitted on Si-eun’s slender back. I could also feel the tingling sensation from time to time. At a slightly warmer body temperature than mine, I felt better.
Then I heard a roar of laughter from behind.
“Honey, you have a big back.”
“I have to protect my wife and children.”
“Anyway, you speak well.”
Si-eun snorted with a snort. Of course, I knew right away that it wasn’t the truth.
“And it’s very warm, too.”
“okay? Honey is warmer to me.”
“Isn’t it? I like honey more.”
“Um, is that so?”
He answered in a calm tone.
There’s no point in taking it seriously. It would be better to dismiss it as just feeling warmer for each other.
That way, it’s a lot more romantic.
Si-eun muttered a little as she was about to accept it like this.
“I’m leaning on my big, warm back, so I feel very relieved.”
all cute sounds said with a wide smile.
“That’s good.”
“yes. I know.”
Then I add a word.
“As much as honey is reliable, honey must be reliable as well.”
“… … uh, uh.”
I can’t even move my mouth. Instead of answering this, he only gently pushed Si-eun on the back.
Si-eun, who shed a laugh at the timid protest, quickly pushed my back as if to resist.
Again, it was a strange thing to hear a sudden compliment.
So, we were back to back for a long time.
without saying anything. Or while chatting frivolously. Sometimes, when Hana babbles at each other, while being cute together.
In the meantime, Si-eun’s crying had ceased.
Even without face to face, just the touch and warmth of each other.
We could make enough love.
Just like the memories I’ve built up in the past.
It will be a proof that our affection has also deepened.
