101 – Episode 101 Seo-ah
Ji-hoon’s birthday was August 3rd.
The first birthday gift I received from Jihoon was so touching that I have never forgotten it, and I have not been able to forget Jihoon’s birthday for even a moment since then.
In the first place, celebrating birthdays wasn’t that difficult and I thought it was a way to convey our feelings to each other.
“I…I forgot my birthday…”
But there is no time to blame yourself
“Let’s start with preparation”
Today I had to go to the supermarket without paying attention to the household account book.
“Let’s go”
Jihoon sometimes wakes up at 11 o’clock on weekends, or even later, at 12 o’clock.
Of course, it’s only when I have an agenda.
“I need to find someone who can help me.”
I quickly found the contact information and made a call.
“Seo, why are you so busy?”
“Ah.. I’m sorry Seohyun.”
If you look at Seohyun, my high school friend, you can say that Seohyun is an old friend of mine.
“Well.. I’m in a bit of a serious situation right now.”
“Yes, I will listen”

“I.. Accidentally forgot Jihoon’s birthday.”
“…Hey, what’s wrong with me?”
“Is it a big deal?!”
It’s a huge shock that Jihoon forgot his birthday. What are you talking about?
“Uhm… Lovebirds like you should just apologize or at least put a ribbon on your body.”
“Ribbon..? “Why is that?”
“Of course, you yourself should be a gift”
“…W…What do you mean!”
“Ah..”
I guess I talked too loudly.
I hurriedly ran away to a place where I could not feel gaze and continued talking.
“The gift is me… It’s so erotic.”
“Well, I guess you’ve already done it.”
She was Seohyun, whom I knew well even without saying anything.
“That’s true, but.. It was already yesterday..”
“I say these every day because they are so good.”
“Oh..Isn’t it?!”
Not every day, just when I have time.. Just from time to time..?
“Ugh, do it in moderation. You guys will have kids before you get married.”
“We’ll take care of that, so… what should we do?”
“It’s your birthday… You two don’t really care about material things, and Ji-hoon… well, he has a lot of money, so why not just write him a letter?”
“Letter?”
“Yes, we received a lot of messages in high school where we conveyed our feelings to each other.”
These were letters I didn’t really want to receive..
“Thank you, Seohyun! After all, you are the best!”
“Seo…Seohyun?! “Is this too much!?”
At that time, I heard someone else’s voice other than Seohyun’s.
“Hey! You idiot, turn down the lights. Ugh.. Seo-ya.. Sorry, I want to talk more.. Ugh! Hey!! Turn it off!!”
Tuk
“Phew.. You guys are having fun too?”
After checking to see if Seohyun and Seokho were doing well, I went to the supermarket.
“The ingredients for seaweed soup…”
I bought the best beef so I could eat it deliciously, and then I bought eel, seaweed, and other things.
“Hmm.. Is there more to live for?”
Normally, I would have just come out, but
“…Shall we take a look?”
I took steps to buy something more special than stationery.
I was able to get letter paper, flowers made from paper, and even pretty envelopes.
“With this, preparations are complete!”
It’s already 9 o’clock and there are at least 3 hours left until Jihoon wakes up.
Since I was running out of time to cook and write a letter, I quickly headed home.
While returning home, I felt somewhat at ease.
What would Jihoon think if he received this letter?
We eat food and go for walks together.. Shall we eat out today?
With those thoughts in mind, I headed home and decided to write first.
I can write this quickly, so I should finish it first and leave it by Jihoon’s bedside.
Thinking like that, I took out a pencil and paper.
Just in case, I bought 5 pieces of stationery in a bundle, but I didn’t think I would need it much.
“First, write a greeting”
What I want to say…
“Uh…”
But.. What can I say?
Thank you? Love? Or.. Routine?
“Uhmmm”
“Okay, let’s try it first.”
To Jihoon
Hello Jihoon, I am Seoya.
“..Something is starting”
I erased it and started writing again.
To Jihoon
This letter is a letter I prepared for you.
“Hmmm, good start.”
And…
“And how else can I write here…” ?”
I couldn’t think of anything, so I called again.
“Yeah, sorry, are you busy? “No?”
I contacted my college friend
“So… I’m trying to write a letter to my boyfriend?”
“Yeah, I wanted to give it to you as a birthday present.”
“Romantic..? Hey, I have to do this much~”
“Yes, ah! That’s right, so I’m going to write it… It’s actually my first time writing a letter.”
“Uh.. At school.. We didn’t use that at our school, right?”
“Ahahahaha.. Okay, thank you.”
When I hung up the phone and looked at the time, there were only two hours left.
“…Letter”
Actually, on Parents’ Day, I wrote letters after seeing others write them, and later threw those letters away.
I don’t like what I give them.
I haven’t written a letter since then.
Even in high school, I received more than I spent.
I didn’t even read every single thing, so I didn’t even know that I had to write something like this to someone I love.
If the letter was at least read…
Even now, it was all the letter Jihoon wrote that was kept in my drawer.
“I’m conveying my heart”
My friend told me to write down my heart as it is.
I said that if it were me, I would definitely write it beautifully, but I honestly don’t know.
“This is a letter written for you…”
Written to Jihoon
There were a lot of things I wanted to say to Jihoon.
Because saying “I love you and thank you” Was not enough every time
However, if you just write “I love you” On a letter, it is not just a blank letter.
Anyway, like that, I picked up the pencil once again.
“Huh.. Seo, you are a woman who went to the best university in the country. If you can’t write a letter for your husband, you are not worthy of being a wife!”
I hypnotized myself and started writing.
Memories of the day we first met
We became friends with him and the story we shared
The story of experiencing a wider world through him
The story of how I learned to love
Each of those stories suddenly became one of me and became a complete part of me.
I suffered a lot because of me, and I also felt that it was very difficult to live with a woman who had nothing like this.
Perhaps there was also reflection on myself.
I shouldn’t feel like Jihoon’s love is natural. I shouldn’t think that this love I have now is enough.
We wrote down our love story as if there was no total amount of love.
“My beloved wife, Yoon Seo-ah… end!”
Looking at the time, it wasn’t long until Jihoon woke up.
“Oh my! “I have to quickly boil the soup first.”
I folded the letter neatly, put it in an envelope, quietly went out to the living room, and quietly went into the bedroom.
I gently left the letter by the bedside of my husband, who was still sleeping soundly.
Side
“Baby, I love you”
And then I hurriedly went to the kitchen and started cooking.
Jihoon must have woken up not long after I started cooking.
“..Haaam, did you sleep well? “Should I stand?”
It’s been a while since I woke up, but I nodded.
“hehehe”
Then he came to me with messy hair
“…Have you read it?”
“It was so cute and lovely”
“…How do you feel?”
“How do you feel?”
“…A letter, a letter”
“I want to say that I am so grateful and lovely that I love you so much that my ears bleed.”
“Hey!”
“Kkkkkk I’ll take this letter with me until I die! “When you put me in the coffin, I’ll ask you to put this letter with me.”
“…If you’re going to make fun of me like that, give it back to me!”
“I don’t want to~ Are you going to go and laminated the letter today?!”
“You give it to me!”
When I chased after him, Jihoon ran away and laughed.
“Seoaya”
“..What”
“I love you more!”
And then went into the bathroom.
“…I really lost, I lost”
The one who loves more loses..
I went back into the kitchen and prepared Jihoon’s birthday table.
Tiririri
“Hello? Ah! Mother!”
“So, Seo-ya, how are you?”
“I’m doing well thanks to your concern.”
“Really? “What about my son?”
Even though he loves me, he is basically looking for his son.
“hehehe, I’m washing in the bathroom right now.”
“Ugh.. I overslept again. If you stay up that late, your back will get worse later.”
“Yes, I will wake him up later. I had work to do today so I couldn’t wake Jihoon up.”
“Really? “Oh, that’s not true. Please tell Jihoon that he’s happy birthday. He hasn’t called at all lately, so I called him, but only my new baby answered.”
“hehehe, I’ll tell you well.”
“Okay, I’ll trust only Seo-ah~”
“Yes, thank you, mother.”
When I hung up the phone, Jihoon came out.
“Mom?”
“Yeah, but how did you know?”
Jihoon looked at me and said with a smile.
“I’ve seen you so many times, if you’re a little nervous, Mom, if you’re a little more nervous, Dad, if you just talk casually, we’re friends.”
“…”
I.. Did that?
“Hey, you don’t know, but I know everything.”
“Uh…”
“Anyway, let’s eat now.”
“Yes, you waited, right?”
“Yes”
“Because today is my birthday, I made seaweed soup.”
“Seaweed soup!”
Jihoon sat down and enjoyed the seaweed soup.
“Husband”
“..Huh? Huh?”
I smiled and said to Jihoon, who was embarrassed because I don’t usually call him my husband.
“Happy birthday, husband, I will continue to love you forever.”
“My wife, I love you too”
So are just gonna pretend now that version of seo ah didnt happen? I’m really confused its so out of character that I think that might have been a mistake.
