A Birthday Surprise
Mina, Dad's here.
The sound of Mina's father arriving made us hurry out of the room.
The uncle had a box that looked like a cake in one hand.
Whose birthday was today?
Among the people I know, only Mina has a birthday in March.
I couldn't take care of her birthday because it coincided with the day I was hospitalized.
“Thank you for coming, Dad.”
“Hello.”
“Oh, it's really Jiyoung. Aigoo, so cute.”
“You were taking a bath, weren't you, Jiyoung? Trying to touch with dirty hands?”
The uncle smiled brightly and approached me to pat my head, but was stopped by the auntie's protest.
He's one of the few men who can give light skinship to me.
Of course, he should have showered first and then patted.
“Oh, I almost forgot. I'll come out after showering soon, so let's do Mina's birthday party then.”
Mina's father rushed into the room to get clothes to change and went into the bathroom.
Thinking it's about 30 minutes of showering, there was still a lot of time left.
Are we doing the birthday party now?
We couldn't do the birthday party together, right?
Really? I didn't mind anyway.
No. We already did it with friends, so we have to do it with you too. It's most important with you.
I couldn't prepare a birthday gift.
It was a bit sorry that I didn't prepare anything for Mina.
On my birthday, Mina always took care of me a lot, but Mina always said even if I just come, it's fine on her birthday.
Of course, I never wanted that, so I always brought a gift.
Mina was always very happy receiving any gift.
“It's okay. I suddenly brought you because I was going to stream. I told Dad to do it today too.”
“Still sorry.”
“Then, how about sleeping over? It's the best gift for me.”
“Sleep over?”
“Yeah. Actually, I already told your sister. You have to hug me while sleeping.”
“Huh? What?”
“Nothing.”
It seemed like there was some behind-the-scenes talk, but probably just my imagination?
I have often napped with Mina.
Of course, it was just that Mina came to the side while sleeping and lay down with me.
I contacted my sister to say I'm sleeping over.
Since Mina already mentioned it, it was easy to get permission.
“Mina, besides sleeping over, is there any other gift you want?”
“I said I'm sleeping over. That's enough.”
“Sleeping over is something I can do as a friend, but is there anything you want as a birthday gift?”
“Um, there are things I want, but not now.”
“What is it? If it's something Mina wants, I'll definitely give it.”
“Secret? I'll tell you later.”
I was curious what Mina wants as a gift, but since she said she'll tell later, I stopped asking.
Clearly, Mina likes non-material gifts, maybe a request to play together.
If it were me, playing with Mina would be great, so definitely welcome.
“Then, shall I look up some internet reactions?”
“The broadcast time was short, but did it get mentioned?”
“If 1000 people watch the first broadcast, it's hugely trending. Even though not a celebrity, it's almost impossible.”
Mina sat on the chair, put me between her legs, and turned on the internet.
I relaxed and let my body lean on Mina.
Mina's body was soft, too comfortable.
“Then, shall I look it up?”
Mina and I entered the community and read the posts.
The last one was a bit weird but overall positive reactions.
It was just eating tteokbokki and talking, but reactions are good.
Probably because friends helped quickly.
“Is it okay to do it this easily? Somehow worried.”
“Worried?”
“We made the broadcast grow this easily, won't those who broadcast hard dislike it?”
“People who are jealous of this kind of thing are trash, ignore them. If you hate it, Jiyoung is prettier and cuter than them. Even compared to others, your cuteness is overwhelming talent, isn't it natural to be popular?”
A bit worried, but it should be fine.
As Mina said, those who curse are those people, so meet people who like me.
Eventually, viewers will meet, but for now, not worrying about far future.
After uncle's shower, we all gathered in the living room.
There was a prepared cake there.
“Late but happy birthday, Mina.”
“Yeah. Thank you. Hehe.”
After the birthday song, Mina blew out the candles and cut the cake in half.
I hugged Mina tightly to celebrate.
Mina loves being hugged, so when I hug first, she's very happy.
The cake I ate for the first time in a long time was extremely sweet.
Mina saw cream on my lips and wiped it with a wet tissue.
Usually doesn't get dirty when eating, but it looked vulnerable with cream on it.
“Thank you for eating. Hehe”
“Yeah. Jiyoung. You ordered well for the famous party.”
“Smiling just by looking at it.”
“Thank you. Both of you.”
I hugged uncle and aunt once each.
They were very happy and hugged me tightly.
After parents passed away, they think of us siblings as their children.
I am number 1 in the list of people I need to repay.
They were just happy that I hugged them, and if they like this, I can hug as much as I want.
“Jiyoung has pretty long hair, but no thought of cutting it?”
“Honey, what are you talking about? Why cut such pretty hair.”
“No, when did I say to cut? It's a shame to cut pretty hair.”
Both seemed not wanting me to cut my hair.
“Don't worry.
I already promised sister to cut it.
“Everyone said it suits well, so I'm thinking of growing it like this.”
“Really? Good. Cutting such pretty hair is too wasteful.”
“It's blonde, how can the bun be so good? Really soft.”
Uncle and aunt gently touched my hair.
I also touched my hair as a woman, but as they said.
Even when male, the bun was good, but blonde bun was on another level.
So, when cutting hair, no thought of cutting anywhere.
“Mom, Dad, Jiyoung is sleeping over. Okay?”
“Really? Definitely welcome.”
“You can live here like this. Of course, Si-young can come too.”
“No. We can live well even if just the two of us.”
They still wanted me to live with them.
We have to live with our own strength.
They don't think we're a burden, but honestly, they can't.
“Jiyoung, starting internet broadcasting.”
“Really? Jiyoung will definitely succeed.”
“Of course. With Jiyoung's cuteness, definitely succeed.”
They sincerely cheered for me.
I was really grateful to such parents.
“Then we'll brush teeth and go to bed.”
“Okay. You must be tired.”
“Yeah. From now on, I'll watch your broadcasts often.”
Thinking they would watch my broadcast made me a bit embarrassed.
But friends would watch too, and above all, I'm a stalker, no problem.
The most important was deciding what content to do in the future.
