The Hyun Seo in front of him seemed a bit angry at him.
But it was so good. That you came.
Looking at Do Ha’s smiling face, Hyun Seo let out a deep sigh.
“Ah…”
She wanted to pour out her anger on his smiling face, but she held back in front of the man who had sent the designated driver away and ended up walking himself.
“If it weren’t for your birthday…”
She thought it would be more comfortable to deal with him herself than to leave him alone on his birthday, getting drunk in such a miserable state.
“Is today my birthday? I see…”
“What did you say? Ah… I can’t believe it. Really.”
In front of Do Ha, who was mumbling as if he didn’t know, Hyun Seo gave a hollow laugh.
He often forgot his own birthday. He would realize it only when Hyun Seo reminded him and took care of it.
For Hyun Seo, she had been planning and contemplating for days to have a birthday party with homecooked meals, especially on her husband’s birthday.
So she had to give him a hint in advance so that it wouldn’t be cancelled due to busy things on the day. Each time, he would then remember that it was his birthday.
When he was young, if Young Suk didn’t take care of him, Hye Soo did, and after he grew up, Hyun Seo did.
But even so, what is this? Being alone like this now.
Didn’t his secretary tell him because it was Saturday? There must have been countless people who would have sent him congratulatory messages.
“Weren’t there people who congratulated you?”
“I didn’t look at my phone today. Except when I was on the phone with you…”
“Ah, really! Care about yourself. Why are you still like this?”
No, it would have been better if he had been busy with work as before. At least then he wasn’t drowning in alcohol and had some restraint.
“Get up, I’ll take you home. I’ve already paid the bill, so don’t think about drinking more.”
Hyun Seo tried to lift him by holding his arm with both hands.
Do Ha, who had refused the designated driver, obediently stood up at Hyun Seo’s touch.
He wobbled for a moment, but Hyun Seo helped him by putting his arm around her shoulder.
With great effort, they took one step at a time outside, with Hyun Seo grumbling.
“What are you doing, it’s not like you. Ah, you’re heavy.”
Although people could have such a day once in a while in their lives, it seemed that Do Ha should not have been like this. She really disliked it when he was like this.
“Why do you keep doing things you don’t usually do?”
“That’s right. Why am I doing this…”
Do Ha muttered in a voice mixed with laughter. Feeling embarrassed to be supported by Hyun Seo, yet happy to be close, an unintentional smile came to his face.
When Hyun Seo arrived at her car with Do Ha, she opened the back door to let him in.
“No, in the front…”
But Do Ha opened the front passenger door with his halfhearted body and sat down.
“I can’t see your face well from the back.”
Hyun Seo, who had been laughing emptily, climbed into the driver’s seat, leaving him alone as if to say do as he pleased.

Upon entering the Seocho apartment, Hyun Seo looked around. Do Ha, who had become even more unresponsive than before, was really heavy.
“Come in.”
Hyun Seo, along with Do Ha, crossed the neatly arranged living room to the bedroom.
The bed was also neatly arranged. She laid Do Ha, who was thoroughly drunk, on it.
As soon as Do Ha fell onto the bed, he grabbed Hyun Seo’s hand as if scared to be separated from her.
Hyun Seo tried to pull away, but his firm grip made it difficult. Hyun Seo sighed and remained still for a moment.
Do Ha, who had been looking up at her quietly, blinked a few times before closing his heavylooking eyelids.
Hyun Seo looked down at Do Ha’s face for a moment. His face, with eyes closed, looked tired yet peaceful.
Even then, he had no intention of loosening the hand he held tightly. He seemed to fall asleep reassured by just holding her hand.
Hyun Seo was soaked in a feeling of helplessness.
Seeing Do Ha drinking so unrestrainedly made her feel worse. It was as if he was falling apart.
.
.
.
Do Ha slowly opened his eyes. As he came to, his senses gradually returned, with his sense of smell being the first to notice.
It was a familiar yet longlost scent. It was even more unfamiliar in this house.
As he tried to sit up, Hyun Seo entered the bedroom.
“I’m glad you haven’t left yet.”
“Seeing you talk like that, you’re still drunk.”
At Hyun Seo’s teasing, Do Ha gave a soft laugh.
“I’m sorry… How long have I been asleep?”
“About an hour?”
“And yet… you haven’t left.”
“I was just about to leave.”
As she spat out those words and turned to leave the bedroom, Do Ha reflexively followed her.
As he passed through the living room, he recognized the source of the smell when he noticed the dining table.
“I made seaweed soup, have a spoonful.”
There was seaweed soup, rice, and a few side dishes. Hyun Seo was quick with her hands, but the image of her busily moving around for an hour while he was asleep was clear in his mind.
“It’s simple, but it’s a birthday meal.”
