We are parents
๐ฑ-I met grandma and grandpa


One weekend afternoon


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Hey guys, do you all want to come here?"

Dad called the Ayul and Seoyul siblings.


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Huh? Are you all here now?"


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"picture?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Wow! LOL Where did you find all this?"


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"I was cleaning up my studio and found it in a box."

What Dad prepared was a childhood photo of Mom and Dad.


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Hey kids, look at this. This is a picture of Mom when she was little."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Who is the man next to you?"


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Huh..? She looks like Seoyul?"


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Hahaha, that's right, dad"

The box that Dad brought contains photos of Dad and Mom when they were babies and students, as well as photos of Ayul and Seoyul's pregnancy test and even an ultrasound of the fetus.


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Wow! Didn't Dad and Mom promise to get married since they were babies?"


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Haha, that's not it. My mom moved to the neighborhood where my dad lived when she was 7, and we've been friends ever since."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Then we must still be friends!"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Well... Mom and Dad are friends and a married couple. They love each other and are married."

While enjoying looking at the pictures of the box


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Ugh... kids... aren't you curious about your maternal grandparents..?"


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Yeah... that's right"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"It's okay, you can say it."

Ayul and Seoyul had a hard time speaking because their mother would become sad whenever she talked about their maternal grandparents.


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Soljjiki...is curious"


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Um...can I tell you?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Yeah... it's okay now"

Lately, Mom has been missing her parents so much that she's been hesitant to tell her children.


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"My father... that is, your grandfather..."

์ด๋ฆฐ ์ฌ์ฃผ
"I came back from school~"

์ด๋ฆฐ ์ฌ์ฃผ
"Mom..? Dad..?"

Oh no...Honey...No...

์ด๋ฆฐ ์ฌ์ฃผ
"Uh...Mom?"

Suddenly

์ด๋ฆฐ ์ฌ์ฃผ
"Mom...why..."

์ด๋ฆฐ ์ฌ์ฃผ
"Ah...Dad!!"

My grandfather passed away while he was sleeping.

The reason is because it is too difficult

Mom... she passed away while earning money to make her dreams come true.

And my grandmother


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Mom...Mom..."

My mom was in her early 20s.

When I first became a flight attendant and was working, my grandmother collapsed from a cerebral hemorrhage.

While you were living in the hospital like that

+
"Brain death... has been determined."

He was declared brain dead and passed away.

The day before my grandmother passed away, she kept saying something to my mother. Do you know what it was?

as soon as

+
"Hey, how is Yoongi doing?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Um... I don't know... I heard they debuted, but... I'm not sure."

+
"Lastly... I miss you, Yoongi."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Hey, Mom! What are you talking about? If you get treatment, you can go home again."

+
"...Yeoju...Mom...I'm sleepy."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"...Okay...Mom...Good night...See you tomorrow morning."

+
"I love you, daughter."

With those words, my grandmother passed away.


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Oh...it turned out like this"

Before I knew it, Mom and Dad's eyes became moist.

The children didn't understand very well, but they hugged their mom and dad tightly as they looked like they were about to cry.


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"..Kids..I don't think you understood everything I said."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Even if you don't understand, you'll understand later, later."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"When you are bigger"


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Okay...okay"


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"I...want to go to my grandparents' graves..."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"You said you went there when you were a baby... but I don't remember. I want to go again."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"me too.."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Huh..I guess so?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Okay, let's go."

The four people who came to the columbarium


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Here they are...mother-in-law, father-in-law."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Mom..Dad..I'm sorry I'm late. It's been a while, right?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"This is the first time I've brought my grandchildren."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"See the picture of Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa here? Yagida says hello."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Hello.. This is Min Ah-yul.. Grandma and Grandpa.."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"It's Seoyul... Min Seoyul."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"Mother-in-law, don't worry about your father-in-law. I'll take good care of him."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Huh...huh..."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
"My lady..."

Mom suddenly burst into tears and ran into Dad's arms.


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"..Grandma..Grandpa..My sister and I brought a present.."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"This is a picture of Seoyul and I. If you miss us, look at this..."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Ugh... guys..."


๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ
(Sniff) "Hey guys, should we go out for a bit? Mom wants to talk to herself."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"yes.."


๋ฏผ์์จ๐ฑ
"Don't cry too much..."




์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Mom...Dad...I...There are times when I get so scared that I'm a mom."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"Even though my brother is here, I'm so scared... What should I do.."

"I'm a first-time mom...what should I do?"

"How did Mom raise me?"

"How was your dad?"


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"I don't remember my mom and dad's voices anymore..."


์ด์ฌ์ฃผ
"I... really... miss you so much... sob... mom and dad"

They say people forget each other from the very first sound.

I also don't remember the voices of my great-grandmother and great-grandfather who passed away when I was in elementary school.

Yeo-ju had many wounds, and she met Yoon-ki, who could heal them well.

As I write, I don't know what the story is about, but please focus on the female protagonist's sadness.

See you next time!
