Very soon, Tuesday came. It was the girl’s birthday! But Myungsoo had to head off to the office for a super important meeting that morning. He purposely turned off the alarm yesterday night just for her to sleep in more. “Bye baby, see you later.” Myungsoo kissed his sleeping wife’s lips before heading off to the office.

Jiyeon soon woke up to find no one beside her and it’s already 9AM. She shot up at once and called Myungsoo. After a few rings, he finally picked up, “Oppa! Where did you go? Why didn’t you wake me up! Are you at office now? I’m so sorry oppa!” She continued to say what’s on her mind only to receive giggles from the other side of the phone. “Baby. Relax! I just wanted you to sleep more today. I’m at work now. Don’t worry! Baby, I’m sorry. I think I will work late today. There are many important meetings.”

“Oh… Is it? Okay… You have to work, oppa. It’s fine! Okay, I have to go now. I want to eat breakfast! Bye!” Jiyeon quickly ended the phone call in case she released her tears out. She had planned where she wanted to go for this special day and of course, she needs her husband to accompany her. But now, everything she planned is gone. The more she thinks about it, the more she felt sad and worst. She thought of the previous birthdays. She always celebrated them with her brother. But this year, she had no-one. Finally, she let her tears fall. *Jin-ah… This year nobody can celebrate with me.*

Myungsoo, on the other hand, didn’t know what his wife was thinking at the moment and tried his best to finish the meeting as fast as possible. He had prepared a surprise for her. Just when the meeting ends, he rushed back to his office to put his documents away, “Sunggyu hyung! I have to go now. Baby’s at home waiting for my surprises!” he said to his best friend before dashing out of the office without letting his friend reply. *That guy… I really want to meet his wife some day. She totally changed him.*

Myungsoo crept into the house silently and looked for his wife, wanted to surprise her. But when he is near the bedroom, he heard crying sound. He burst into the room immediately to see his wife curled up on the bed, crying into the blankets.

“Baby! What happened? Why are you crying?!” He took big steps to the bed and carried her onto his lap and caressed her cheeks, wiping her tears away.

“Oppa… Why are you here? I thought you’re working??” Jiyeon sniffed.

“Baby, tell me why are you crying?!” He ignored her questions.

“I… No one will celebrate my birthday with me! Every year, Jin would celebrate with me. But since I’m here this year, I thought I could celebrate with you and I even planned out everything for today but you have to work…” She cried more after spilling out.

“Aigoo… This baby. I wanted to give you a surprise but end up I get the surprise instead. I lied about working late. I just wanted to come home without you knowing and surprise you!” He her back soothing her.

Jiyeon looked up at him, feeling so confused, “so… you don’t have work to do?” Myungsoo shook his head indicating a ‘no’ and hugged her tighter. “This baby… I have so much planned out for you today.”

Jiyeon wiped her tears awa
