We are parents

๐Ÿฑ-I met grandma and grandpa

One weekend afternoon

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

Dad called the Ayul and Seoyul siblings.

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Huh? Are you all here now?"

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"picture?"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Who is the man next to you?"

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Huh..? She looks like Seoyul?"

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

"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.

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

"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."

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Then we must still be friends!"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Yeah... that's right"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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.

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Soljjiki...is curious"

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

"Um...can I tell you?"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Yeah... it's okay now"

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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?"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

+

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

+

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

+

"I love you, daughter."

With those words, my grandmother passed away.

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

"When you are bigger"

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Okay...okay"

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"me too.."

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Huh..I guess so?"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Okay, let's go."

The four people who came to the columbarium

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"It's Seoyul... Min Seoyul."

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Huh...huh..."

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

"My lady..."

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

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Ugh... guys..."

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ

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

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์•„์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"yes.."

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ image

๋ฏผ์„œ์œจ๐Ÿฑ

"Don't cry too much..."

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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?"

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

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

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์ด์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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!
