Yeonho, do you know?
Actually, I...
Thanks to an unbelievable miracle, I ended up by your side. It was such a foolish story that I couldn’t bring myself to tell you.
I couldn’t understand at all how or why such a thing happened to me.
I thought maybe God had granted my wish to see you again.
But looking back, it doesn’t seem like that.Maybe God brought us together again not for me, but for you.
You, who sacrificed yourself to save a child, were somewhat resentful back then.
Fortunately, it didn’t lead to a bigger accident, but in this life too, you threw yourself in the way of danger to save someone.
For such a kind-hearted person like you, maybe God gave you a new life.
And He sent me, who you loved so much, to help you.
Yes. It’s just something I said.
Even without me, you would have shone beside someone else. The thought that it might not have been me makes my heart ache.
So, I’ll just think of it as a miracle.
I’ll just be grateful.
For being able to live by your side again.
Yeonho, do you know?
More than in my previous life.
More than when we were in high school.
More than when we turned twenty.
More than when we started living together.
More than when we experienced our firsts together.
More than when Sarang was born.
More than yesterday.
That I love you so much more today.
In my previous life, when I finally learned love in the hospital, I was too shy to express my feelings directly like I do now.
I only relied on your kindness and love. I didn't realize how important it was to say "I love you" every day and express my affection, and how much it could leave regrets if I didn’t.
It was only after losing you that I realized.
So when I became a high school student again, my feelings might have been too forward. Sometimes, I was just eager to show my love, even to the point where you felt overwhelmed.
Of course, that also became a memory, and you wouldn’t know how happy I was when our steps began to align little by little.
I was able to return the love I learned from you.
And you learned to love from me.
I don’t know exactly when, but at some point, I started to see affection in your eyes as you looked at me.
What started as liking my appearance.
It turned into love.
I don’t know if I was as good to you as you were to me.
Thank you.
For loving me again.
I’ll love you forever.
Yeonho, do you know?
When I felt happiness, laughter came out before tears.
In the past, because of regrets, guilt, and anxiety from my previous life, I would cry suddenly or act foolishly.
Even when something happy happened, I couldn’t just enjoy it, fearing it might end suddenly.
But maybe because time passed, or because of the endless love and joy you and Sarang gave me, those thoughts naturally stopped coming to mind.
So when something joyful happened.
When something good happened.
Yes, like the day of Sarang’s first birthday party.
I could smile.
Brighter than anyone.
Happier than anyone.
More joyfully than anyone.
On that day, I didn’t even feel jealous of Sarang. Instead of those feelings... how should I put it?
Yes, just.
I was just happy.
How could I describe all the happiness you give me? I was just happy.
Everyone told me that my smile that day was as pretty as a flower.
I'm sure it was a smile I learned from you.
The beautiful smile you always showed me.
Finally, I was able to smile like that too.
Ever since I met you again, every single day has been a series of unparalleled happiness.
As husband and wife, we cherished and loved each other, and our families always wished for our eternal happiness.
When we lay in bed reminiscing about the past and imagining the days we would spend together,
I couldn’t contain the overflowing happiness.
On the day of our first date, you awkwardly accepted my small touches like a robot, and we walked down the street hand in hand again.
Though the ending was a bit disappointing, it was still wonderful. After all, I got to see you again.
Now, that shy side of you is nowhere to be found. You now skillfully lead me, holding my hand and walking ahead.
Do you know how wide and reliable your back looks at those times, how much I want to run into your arms?
On the day of our first home date,
I still vividly remember how tense you were when you came into my room. We shared intimate touches in our own space and proudly showed off the frame I had worked hard to decorate for us.
And we had planned to have our first kiss that day, but do you remember how it was thwarted by my dad?
But looking back now, I’m glad it didn’t happen that day.
Because it allowed us to have an even more romantic and memorable first kiss.
On the day we went on a trip together,
On the beach trip that I somewhat forced to be just the two of us, we shared our first kiss.
The words you said during that kiss were so enchanting.
Wearing couple shirts, traveling far away, sharing intimate touches on the beach, and falling asleep in the same room.
These are all part of the happiest memories.
On the day we visited the zoo,
Kissing you freely, the place I chose because you loved cute things.
Honestly, I think that day was a mistake. I never imagined you would like red pandas so much.
Please understand my jealous heart. It’s because you seemed to like them more than me.
Which is something that should never happen, right?
On the day we had a themed date,
When you called me "oppa" and smiled as if your mouth would tear, do you know how worried I was?
And when you called me "noona" and acted cute, do you know how hard it was for me to hold back?
When you wore cat pajamas and pretended to be a cat, do you know how embarrassed I was?
But you were so happy, you liked it so much.
For that one reason, I can do anything.
On the day we had an amusement park date,
When I said I wanted to imitate a kiss from a comic book, you kissed me by pushing me against the wall on the subway, and it was truly impressive.
And your scared look on the high rides was honestly cute, and the photo of you carrying me is still beautifully framed.
That day was really fun. Next time, I hope Sarang can join us.
On the first Christmas we spent together,
Our families gathered for the first time and spent joyful moments together. There we were, happily smiling as we watched our families.
And the couple rings you bought for us that day, even though it was quite expensive for us back then, are still on our hands.
Even if we get other rings later, I plan never to take this one off.
Because, like a proposal, it was the first ring you gave me.
On the day we took our first college entrance exam,
You got injured saving an elderly woman. But do you know this? If something had happened to you that day, I wouldn’t be here now.
I’m really glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Who cares about the college entrance exam?
So please, just like then, and now, your health is my top priority. Please, just stay healthy.
That's the only thing I wish for you.
On the day we drank for the first time,
You always controlled your drinking, so seeing you drunk for the first time then, made me resolve never to let other girls drink that much with you.
Watching you cling to me cutely and complain, I couldn’t help but want to give you more to drink.
But you can only drink that much in front of me.
Got it?
On the day we had our first experience,
The day we became one for the first time, under your gentle touch,
I can't express it in words. Under your hands, your gaze, your kisses, my body burned with heat.
I craved you even more than before. Although now, you prefer to torment me rather than be gentle,
I like being treated like your toy.
So please, Yeonho.
Keep teasing me.
On the day we started living together,
After being with you, I became so afraid of being apart that you decided to move in with me.
Although it wasn’t as long as I’d hoped, those were truly happy days.
I gave you everything whenever you wanted me.
And eating the meals you cooked, waking up to see you right there,
It’s normal now, but back then, it was like a dream come true.
On the day we went on a hot spring trip,
With my insistence and subtle wishes,
During our first delightful overseas trip, we conceived Sarang.
It was a very hasty decision born from my vague anxiety,
But I don’t regret it. Do you?
On the day we met Sarang,
You, who endured my whims during pregnancy, holding my hand tightly, in pain yet filled with anticipation on that day,
When Sarang was finally born, it felt like having the whole world. Because the fruit of our love had finally arrived.
Of course, these days, I sometimes get jealous when she monopolizes your attention, but still.
Our daughter, who resembles you and me,
I love her so much.
Since then, so many things have happened.
Raising a child for the first time was difficult and exhausting, but with the help of our family, we managed somehow.
Having Sarang ignited a greater sense of responsibility in you, and you eventually got accepted to Seoyeon University. You even went out for drinks with your classmates, leaving your beloved wife and daughter behind.
Haha, I’m joking. Sarang and I are so proud of and grateful for you, or rather, her dad.
After that, we made friends with other moms in the neighborhood, and enjoyed dates as a couple.
Sometimes I felt jealous of our daughter for getting all your attention, and you were boasting about us to your schoolmates after returning to college.
Once, I even got mad at you for the first time when you forgot the most important goodnight kiss in the world.
And before we knew it,
Our Sarang has already turned one.
The time I spent with you flew by so quickly. It's already been years since I reunited with you and relished in our happiness.
But it's only been a few years, right?
We still have so many more days to spend together.
Not just a few years, but decades from now, we will surely still be the same.
No, we will definitely love each other even more than now.
We will be smiling like this.
Right?
So, brace yourself for the future, Yeonho.
This miracle of meeting you again,
I don't intend to waste even a single day or moment.
The overflowing love I have for you hasn’t even properly begun yet.
I’ll be even better to you.
I love you!
Until now, and from now on.
Forever.
─End of the Main Story─
Author's Note:
Since they are already married and the genre is gradually shifting towards parenting, I’m wrapping it up for now.
But of course, the series will continue! Like a second part! Like an epilogue!
However, there will hardly be any separate Heena parts like this anymore. Even if there are perspective changes, I'll try to keep them within a single episode.
From now on, I’ll show you the stories of Yeonho, Heena, and Sarang which will freely jump through time periods.
