Our Baby Is Born

Time passed, and before we knew it, winter had arrived—the season when white snow (garbage) fell and cold winds seeped into our skin, making us feel the chill.

It really is nice that it doesn't snow all that much in the Seoul metropolitan area, even when it does snow, so it's easy to clear away. It's just annoying how we keep getting wet snow... No, winter's supposed to be dry, so why does it keep snowing wet snow?

"Honey? What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, Oppa."

"? You're acting really strange today. How come you called me Oppa instead of Honey?"

"Oh, it's just..."

Honey seemed confused, but he gathered himself, made me a cup of tea, and went outside, saying he was going to clear the snow.

I guess my PTSD from having to clear snow whenever I went to the GOP in Gangwon-do is acting up. There were days when our stupid company commander dragged us out on his own to clear snow, and whenever I looked back while shoveling, it was already piling up again... No other company had come, and it didn't seem like the battalion commander had ordered it, either. Why did that happen...?

Anyway, Honey went out to clear the snow. I wanted to help, but my belly had grown a bit more than it had two months ago, on the day of the CSAT, and it was starting to get hard to help Oppa with his work.

"I want to help you, but I can't..."...
