＜Episode 92＞ Winter
“Ugh, it’s cold… … .”
one afternoon.
We had lunch together at home and were about to head to school, but Si-eun, who took the lead and opened the door, muttered:
“cold?”
“Did you hear me? I was just talking to myself.”
“Your voice can be heard on the other side of the world.”
“In the first place, you can’t go far to the other side of the world.”
It’s really clever to get it back. okay. There is no way to lose a single word.
Anyway, Si-eun is right. In the future, I promised to stick with Si-eun whenever possible.
that’s it though
Listening to it, it seems that it is quite cold. The wind that came through the open door was unexpectedly bitter.
It is now late November. It’s not surprising. Although November is usually put into autumn, to be exact, it is said that winter enters from the end of November. It is now early winter, not late fall.
He reached out and grabbed Si-eun’s opposite shoulder. Si-eun’s body, touching through the clothes, was slightly cold.
“If it’s cold, put on your coat and let’s go. There is still time.”
It’s not like I can’t stand it. I thought that there would be no problem even if I wore this outfit as it is.
However, Si-eun once said that she catches a bad cold once every few months. If that was true, it was time to slowly return to the cycle.
Si-eun looked up at me and immediately closed the door and answered.
“I will.”
Si-eun took off her shoes neatly and went back into the house. Then he quickly made fun of his legs and… … No, I go to my room.
That was a little odd.
Why did you go to my room? Si-eun’s clothes are all in Si-eun’s room. Because I always live in my room, did I make a mistake?
The riddle’s answer was soon revealed.
After a while, Si-eun opened the door to the room and appeared with my coat on.
“Did you want to wear my coat?”
When asked with a laugh, Si-eun answered with a faint smile.
“Not necessarily. It was just too warm the last time I wore it. If you’re not going to wear it anyway, lend it to me for a moment.”
“It’s okay to borrow. What won’t my friends say if I wear my coat?”
“You wouldn’t even know it was your coat.”
So it is. I’m no longer treated as an invisible person, but no one would pay attention to every single piece of clothing I wear.
After a while, Si-eun, who was standing next to me, undid her collar and opened the door of the house again. The cold wind hits you once more.
However, a different sound came out of Si-eun’s mouth.
“It’s warm.”
“Are you warm?”
“yes. I feel like I am hugged by someone.”
“First of all, it’s not me. Who is hugging you?”
Si-eun gave me a cold glance at my answer. It is so cold that it feels colder than the winter wind.
I responded in a similar way, but the reaction was the exact opposite. this is too much
But Si-eun, who is so selfish, only looks lovely to me.
When she patted her back with a smile, Si-eun smiled and left the house. I also followed him.

The place where students’ tuition is most useful is probably the heater.
The lecture hall, which arrived through the cold, was warm. Thanks to this, the students who had wrapped themselves up began to doze off one after another.
Of course, Si-eun, the top honor student in the department, never lost to Suma. I could even feel a kind of fighting spirit in the way he jotted down the professor’s words without missing out.
You must be tired because you are busy with the final preparations for the wedding. great in many ways.
And I fell asleep while looking at Si-eun like that.
He was such an odd boyfriend.
On the way home after the lecture.
Si-eun and I walked side by side in the same way as before.
I think winter is already here. The branches were also very bare. It seems like yesterday that I walked through the campus with autumn leaves, and now the leaves are ending. It feels like time is passing so quickly.
“Looks like winter already.”
Si-eun seemed to have the same thoughts.
“I know. In a little while, it will also be December.”
“December.”
Si-eun whispers my words as if chewing the cud.
It is no wonder that the word December sounds unusual. We have our wedding in December of this year. For Si-eun, no, it is a very special month for us.
There was another reason why December was so special.
Let’s talk in passing.
“Is your birthday in December?”
Si-eun looked at me with a particularly surprised face at my question.
“Did you know?”
“Of course you know. You told me before when I was doing group assignments. He may not remember.”
“So far, I remember. … … Now, you don’t remember going on your back.”
I still stutter whether it’s embarrassing. Apparently, the foolishness of that time remained a dark history and an Achilles heel for Si-eun.
Si-eun folded her arms over my coat.
“It’s not about that. I was surprised because someone who forgot even 100 days remembers my birthday so well.”
“Since I forgot 100 days, I have organized all the anniversaries. Just in case you forget it.”
“yes. Well done.”
Si-eun raised her claw and tapped my head. I think you know what kind of dog you have now.
“therefore?”
“what?”
When asked at the outrageous sound, Si-eun hesitated and spoke behind the scenes.
“The birthday present is… … Are you ready?”
“ah.”
I wanted to know the intent of this question.
Si-eun is not the type who wants expensive gifts. If you write me just one letter, I will be happy to accept it. So, you shouldn’t be asking for a great gift.
So there is only one answer. Si-eun is looking at me.
Since the day she was caught measuring the thickness of her finger, Si-eun often asked questions like this. As if he knew that he was going to hand him the ring along with the proposal.
Each time, I worked hard. It’s been a long time since the surprise came to nothing, but I wanted to pretend I didn’t know as much as possible.
“Well, you should be prepared. now.”
As she held out her flippers due to her lack of acting skills, Si-eun made eye contact with me for a brief moment.
“okay. … … I’ll trust you this time.”
I sang this line
It was at the level of advertising that they knew everything.
It’s Si-eun’s first birthday since they started dating. I wanted to give you a gift that I will never forget.
Just a few days later, I received a call saying that the ring was completed. I thought it was the right time, so I decided to give you a surprise proposal on my birthday… … . Well, I don’t think I’d be too surprised.
“I mean.”
While thinking that, Si-eun added a word.
“yes.”
Si-eun responds softly, in a voice that is as quiet as it can be heard.
“I haven’t been very fond of birthdays since long ago.”
“… … okay?”
Si-eun nodded her head without saying a word.
“Did you ever tell me? When I was young, it was fine when my dad was still there. After that, the house wasn’t very good.”
“It did.”
“So even on my birthday, my mom was busy with work. Even if you weren’t busy, you probably didn’t have time to give anything. After work, I say, ‘My Si-eun, it’s my birthday and I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything.’ while doing… … He hugged me and cried.”
It’s unfortunate. There was no way to stop the sighing.
Si-eun continued the story with a smile.
“I was fine. I couldn’t eat cake, but seaweed soup was boiled. I didn’t even want a present… … . But I don’t want to see my mom sad.”
“She is a good daughter.”
“is it?”
Si-eun put her head lightly on my shoulder and then
“So I thought that I wish my birthday would pass quickly, no, I wish it didn’t come at all. And the winter with my birthday… … I didn’t like it that much.”
“Well.”

My family was also pretty poor when I was a kid. Still, I could eat a small cake.However, Si-eun grew up in an environment where even this was not allowed. My father passed away, and my mother also passed away from one year. From then on, I may not have had time to worry about my birthday.
Si-eun had such a past.
And since my name is boyfriend, I didn’t even know that.
He nodded his head in confusion.
Si-eun poked my cheek like that, and then it seemed to be trembling.
“by the way. Is there anything you are looking forward to on this birthday?”
“Expectation?”
“okay. What gift is he preparing? … It’s totally unpredictable.”
Again, Touda knew everything. Even his serious face was already full of playfulness.
Strictly speaking, the only thing they heard was the fact that they were trying to match the ring. Why does it seem like he knew everything he was going to propose on his birthday?
Well, that means I can’t act. Or it means that Si-eun’s radar has very good performance.
Either way it’s good Si-eun, who didn’t like her birthday enough to hate winter, is now looking forward to her birthday. What if you get caught up a little bit?
It’s not a surprise, but it’s a proposal. Si-eun would be happy to accept it as well.
“okay. Please look forward to it.”
When she opened her chest and answered, Si-eun chuckled for a moment.
“Can I really look forward to it?”
“At least I won’t disappoint you.”
“Are you sure?”
“To some extent.”
“You don’t seem to have the confidence to speak.”
Si-eun laughed, huh-huh-huh.
A real laugh full of joy. There was a clear difference from the forced smile he had shown before.
As I was looking at Si-eun like that, something cold fell on my head.
I looked up for something… … Snow was falling from the sky.
“It’s snowing all of a sudden. Isn’t this the first snow this winter?”
Si-eun spoke in a surprised tone. There was no snow in the weather forecast, but the first snow suddenly began to fall. It was truly a surprise at first sight.
“I know. It’s the first snow.”
“It’s been cold since morning for some reason. It must have been cold to snow.”
I guess it was There was a reason why it was especially cold today. It was also time for the first snow to fall.
Soon, Si-eun held out her palms to catch the falling snow.
Of course, the snow melted as soon as it touched Si-eun’s hand. The weather is not yet accumulating on the ground. It is natural.
Still, Si-eun looked at the first snow with a smile. It was like a child meeting eyes for the first time.
She opened her mouth as she tapped the water drops on Si-eun’s head.
“You seem to hate winter.”
Si-eun looked up at me at the point that was not my point.
“It’s true that I hated it.”
“Then do you only like snow?”
“no. How do you separate snow from winter? I didn’t like snow at all.”
It just seemed like a lot of fun for that kind of thing.
Just as I was about to say something like this, Si-eun took the player away.
“by the way.”
Si-eun, who broke her luck briefly, smiled broadly.
“From this year on, I think I’ll be able to like it.”
told me this
Si-eun, who hated birthdays and winter, started to like winter in anticipation of her birthday this year.
I couldn’t even comprehend the depth of my heart that was contained in these words.
Not knowing what words to return, I just grabbed Si-eun’s hand and put it in her coat pocket.
A soft sensation and warm body temperature pass through your hands.
Si-eun’s fingers wiggled in her pockets were so tickling.
This winter seemed to be warmer than ever.
