#1 The Letter
Living With the Love of My LifeSeoul, Spring 2044
For you, a special gift from God, my companion until this moment..
I am writing this letter in the middle of the night, trying to concentrate in the dim moonlight and accompanied by regular breath of someone at my side. Every end of the spring, like tonight, I'm thinking hard to prepare a little surprise for the love of my life.
This is the third time she and I celebrate her birthday. Her name is Kim Junhee and she is another half of myself. Are you, who is reading this letter, still the same person? If yes, then that means I really can not move to another heart, huh?
I'm still the same person, Wu Yifan, who spilled espresso to your white blouse that day, and yes, it was the first day we met. I'm sorry I could only look at you without doing anything to help you. Do you know why? Because I simply could not stop staring at you who looked so dazzlingly beautiful. For the sakes of the galaxy, then I fell in love with you.
Hey, I still remember vividly your expression when you know that we were, I know it made you horrified, betrothed. Oh dear, I'm sorry for all the odor that I have. But really, that was the fastest step and thanks to my mother who understand me very well. But that didn’t mean I did not love you.
My love, (to be honest, it's 2015) your birthday is coming in three days, and you know, I still don’t know what to do for you. Believe me that I am your husband, as you know we got married two years ago, is stupid and insensitive. These days, I see you looking at your picture, the one you stood beside me, holding Luhan, your best friend's daughter, who is less than one month old and very cute. I can catch envy in your eyes, jabbing guilt because I make you feel lonely when I have to work. And at dinner six hours ago, you told me your wish frankly. You want to have children. And I said yes, although I can not imagine you with your bulging tummy. But believe me, you will still be the most beautiful in my eyes.
My dear, thank you if you're still with me today. Am I already yours completely? Are you happy? If not, come to me and punish me. You may slap me as hard as you can. However, if yes, can you come to me and tell me? So I will reply with all pleasure I have that I still love you the same way, because I'm sure until after 29 years of living with you, you will still be the only one for me.
Say hello to our children, to me that can never be turned away from you, and of course to you whom I had been hoping would never get tired of looking at my face every day. I love you to the moon and the back. And you know it.
Happy birthday, dear ..
From Wu Yifan, husband, 33-year-old.
Junhee held a blanket that claded her body with her left hand, not aware of a drop of tears rolling down her cheeks, smiled, still holding the letter with her right hand.
“Oh, you’re up" A voice heard. Yifan entered the room then put a tray of two cups of coffee and two slices of sandwiches on a small table near their bed. "Good morn- Oh crap, Junhee!” Yifan rushed to his wife the moment he landed his sight on his wife. Snatching the letter Junhee was holding, Yifan sighed. “Okay, let’s just say I have to get another birthday gift for you and-“ he stopped when Junhee pecked her lips. He gasped, “My good God, you’re crying”
“I am not” Junhee said softly, held Yifan’s hand. “This is beautiful”
“I know I am not good at acting, pretending, lying to you and now keeping a secret will be added” Yifan sighed again. “I will take that as a compliment. Thanks” he kissed her wife.
“Yifan,” Junhee called. “I love you”
“Not as much as I do”
“No. I love you more”
“Okay, Junhee babe, are you trying to seduce me or what? At least, put your clothes on before you tell me that certain sentence, because I have a meeting at ten and here you are testing my self-control”
Junhee grinned, “You said that you would make my wish come true” then she pouted but the next second he expression became bright again, “Let’s just continue our baby program, hmm?”
“Junhee, I-“ Yifan couldn’t complete his sentence as Junhee kissed him hard and let the blanket slipped down.
Let’s just say Yifan had to make a new appointment for other day.
