Jieun POV

I woke up at 8 AM and found myself lying on the bed. I checked my phone, which is on the table besides my bed, and saw 13 missed calls from Mrs. Jang.

Mrs. Jang?? Why did she call me??

In the middle of my half-awoken body, I called back Mrs. Jang and it took one waiting tone only for Mrs. Jang to pick it up.

“Jieun?” Mrs. Jang screamed.

“Yes, I am?” I replied confusedly.

“Where are you?” Mrs. Jang panicked, “I called both you and Wooyoung but no one picked it up!”

It took some minutes for me to understand what Mrs. Jang said.

“Ahh… We went to Busan yesterday and Wooyoung decided to stay here for couple of days. Wooyoung didn’t tell you anything, Mrs. Jang?”

“He didn’t,” Mrs. Jang chuckled, “Well, looks like he found his own place for honeymoon.”

“It… We didn’t…” I stuttered.

Mrs. Jang laughed, “Ok, I won’t bother you two. By the way, where is Wooyoung?”

Wooyoung? Where is he?I tried to remind what did happen last night and I realized that I must sleep on him.

Well, it’s embarrassing. But wait… why did I wake up on bed?

I jumped out from bed and tried to search Wooyoung in this apartment. But I found no one. Just me. Only me.

“I saw him last night,” I replied Mrs. Jang unsurely.

“What do you mean, Jieun?”

“I saw him last night, before I slept. But I think he is going somewhere. He is not here,”

“And where do you live in? Our apartment?” Mrs. Jang asked.

“Yes.”

“Well, it’s ok. Just wait for a while. He’ll back for sure,” Mrs. Jang said, “Oh… can you send my birthday greetings to him, Jieun? Since he doesn’t pick my call.”

“Birthday?” I replied, “Today is Wooyoung’s birthday?”

“Seems like you didn’t know it, Jieun.”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“No, no need. I understand though. Just don’t forget to send my greetings to him, ok?”

“Yes, Mrs. Jang.”

“Oh, you also must remind him about his birthday. He always forgets it.”

“Ok, Mrs. Jang.”

“And can you call me with Mom instead of Mrs. Jang? You’re my daughter now, Jieun.”

“But…”

“No buts. Call me Mom and your Mr. Jang with Dad, ok? Likes Wooyoung calls us.”

“Well…”

“Nice! Ok, then. See you later in Seoul, Jieun. Have fun!” Mrs. Jang hung up.

I sighed.

I have Mom, Dad and husband at the same time. Should I thank to you, Wooyoung? You gave me a lot of things that I didn’t have at the past. And… oh! Birthday! His birthday!

Wooyoung POV

My phone keeps ringing in the middle of my informal meeting with Choi. I’ve ignored some calls before, but this time is really annoyed me. I mean, I am working!

“Choi, would you mind if I pick my phone up first?” I asked.

“Yes, please.” He replied while reviewing the documents.

I got my phone and saw the caller is Jieun.

“Jieun, please stop calling me, ok? I’m working.” I said, half whispering, as soon as I picked up.

“It’s my first call though,” she replied clueless.

“Ok, whatever. So, what’s wrong?”

“What time will you be at home?” she asked.

“I don’t know. I have a lot of things to do. Why?”

“What time??” she asked, half pleading.

“I don’t know.”

“Aish, just tell me! At six? Seven? Nine? What time?”

“I’ve told you! I. DON’T. KNOW. Happy?? If you are calling me because of such unimportant things, I will hang up first. I’m busy,” I said, annoyed.

“Seven! Be at home at seven! I ….”

I hung up. I felt sorry for Jieun because I did before she finishes her words, but I can’t let Choi waits.

After that I took a peek on my phone and saw 9 missed calls from Mom. I was thought that it must be Jieun, that’s why accidentally scolded her.

“Your wife?” Choi chukled.

“Yeah. Sorry. So, where were we?” I replied.

“Ahh… She’s great! Looking for her husband,” he teased.

I just laughed, half wishing that she is really looking for me after last night moment.

Right before we began to discuss the Lotte Project, my phone noticed me that I have a message. I swear to myself if it will be the last for took a peek my phone. I saw a message from Jieun.

“Wooyoung-aaah ^^

7 SEVEN 7 SEVEN

Ok? Be at home at 7! I’ll wait for you ^^

Have fun with you work – see youuuuuu”

I chuckled for her cuteness.

See you, Jieun-ah.

Jieun POV

I texted him. I really hope that he will back at 7 PM. I’ve already prepared for his birthday. I tried my best to made pasta and ice cream. I also made his birthday cake by myself. I am not sure about the taste but at least I did my best on it. It will be my birthday present for him. Actually, I really want to buy him something that he really likes on, but I have no idea what the ‘something’ is.

I decorated some spots in this house with blue balloon, and put my handmade “Happy Birthday Wooyoung!” banner in the middle of long sided window. It’s 5 PM already. Well, 2 hours more to go. I took a bath in hurry, wore my mini dress and waited for him.

6.00 PM. My heart beats faster. This is my first time for making a surprise party.

6.30 PM. I started to turn off all of the main lights and turn on the small light at some spots.

7.00 PM. I took the birthday cake along with me, prepared for Wooyoung’s coming.

8.00 PM. I sat on the sofa and put the cake on the table in front of me.

8.30 PM. I sighed. He must be busy, just wait then.

10.00 PM. I’m getting bored, waiting in the middle of half-darken room.

11.00 PM. I’m getting sleepy. But, no! He will come back soon. Just wait a little longer. He will come for sure.

11.30 PM. I knew it. He won’t come today. Don’t be silly, Jieun-ah. Just give up.

Only if he back home today, I won’t be disappointed like this. Only if he back home early, I will congratulate him happily. Only if he back home before 12, I will forget about how long I waited for him and eat until our belly full of food. Only if….

I lied myself on the sofa and started to close my eyes. I can’t stop myself for sleeping.

I opened my eyes, half sleepy. But then I was shocked when I saw Wooyoung kneeled and his eyes level same with me. I can recognize him in the middle of this half-darken house. I was forgot about how much I’m disappointed by him after I saw his smile.

“Wooyoung?” I made sure that he’s really Wooyoung.

He nodded.

I just saw him smiled peacefully instead of getting myself up.

“What time is it?” I asked.

“1.30.”

I looked at his apology eyes, didn’t dare to speak any words.

“Mian…” he said and my cheek.

Before I could speak one word, he took a smaller gap between our head and stopped when his face about 10 cm away from mine.

I widened my eyes.

He hesitated for a while but then once again, he said, “Mianhe, Jieun-ah…”

And he kissed me. He kissed me. On my lips.
