Entering the house, I saw my parents sitting on the electric heating pad in the living room, peeling and eating tangerines while watching a drama.
“You’re home early?”
“Yeah. There’s no one to hang out with these days.”
I just put my bag down and squeezed into the space between my mom and dad, slipping under the blanket.
“What will our daughter do for Christmas?”
Dad placed a neatly peeled tangerine in my hand.
“Since her boyfriend is in a faraway country, she’ll probably just stay under the blanket.”
“Seo-jun has some kind of long-term business trip at the end of the year.”
“I told you…”
“It’s because Seo-jun has abilities.”
I kicked off my socks while wriggling under the blanket. Even in midsummer, my hands and feet tend to be cold, but in winter, they felt frozen as if they had been on ice.
“Hey!”
“Oh, you startled me.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
At the sudden commotion from Mom, Dad and I were startled and shivered.
“Your foot touched my calf.”
“Mom, isn’t it a bit too much? Just a slight touch.”
“Do you know how cold your feet are? It startled me. Why are your feet so cold?”
“Who gave birth to someone with such cold feet…”
“Don’t always blame me at times like this.”
“Oh my, why are your feet so cold? Is it because the girl’s body is this cold? Wait a moment. Dad will get warm water…”
“No, it’s okay! I’m going to wash right away.”
Since the accident, Dad became sensitive whenever my body wasn’t feeling well. Of course, that sensitivity couldn’t match Ji Seo-jun’s, but still.
“Moondaryul, we’re going to have a Christmas party with Mom, Dad, and Seo-jun. Do you want to join?”
I hesitated at the sudden party invitation.
“What party?”
“Yun-hee is going to make a cake. We decided to cook and eat together.”
“That’s something we usually do.”
“It’s because it’s Christmas, so it’s a party!”
I pondered whether I should go to the somewhat lonely but cute family party of middle-aged women and men.
“What should I buy?”
“Bring flowers.”
“Okay, got it.”
That way, I spent Christmas Eve, receiving comfort from my cute family. Lee Jung-hoon didn’t reveal what gift he prepared for his girlfriend.
Despite our manager and me attempting to find out through indirect threats and leading questions, Jung-hoon skillfully avoided answering. Seeing him happily preparing to leave, grabbing his bag before leaving work, I wondered if the content of the gift was important.
I envied Jung-hoon, who would spend a joyful time with his lover.
On the hurried way home, I stopped by a flower shop near my house.
The flower shop, filled with the scent of Christmas, seemed busy with the approaching holiday.
“I’m going to buy flowers…”
“Are you giving a gift?”
“Yes.”
“If it’s not too intrusive, may I ask what kind of gift it is?”
“Oh. I got invited to my boyfriend’s parents’ house…”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, the florist’s eyes sparkled.
“Just a moment, could you wait?”
“Yes? Oh, okay…”
With the florist’s dazzling hand movements, flowers of various colors, which didn’t seem to match her vibrant actions, found their places and began to show off their figures.
“They’re so beautiful!”
“It’s the first time going to my boyfriend’s future in-laws, so I shouldn’t show any gaps. Especially on Christmas Eve… I wanted to make them even more beautiful, but these flowers are already reserved…”
The florist seemed quite disappointed. It seemed she misunderstood my mention of going to the boyfriend’s house, thinking I was going to greet his parents. Still, I appreciated the boss’s intention.
“Thank you. They’re already very, very beautiful.”
While calculating the bouquet, I found a sign indicating they also offer one-day classes. Maybe I’ll try taking a class with Ji Seo-jun later.
Carrying a beautiful bouquet, I headed home. The fragrance of the flowers in my arms made my steps lighter.
“I’m here.”
Entering Ji Seo-jun’s hometown, I noticed a large Christmas tree in the living room.
“What’s this?”
“Mom tried to lift the mood a bit.”
When was the last time I made a Christmas tree?… Even carols flowed from a small Bluetooth speaker. It truly felt like a Christmas party.
“These are flowers.”
“Oh my! They’re so pretty! Seo-jun’s dad! Look at this. Daryul bought flowers.”
“As expected of Daryul. Why did you buy such flowers when you’re here? Huh? Daryul bought flowers.”
Although I’ve been here for 29 years, I still felt awkward receiving compliments from Yoon-hee Mom and Seung-ho Dad.
“Daryul! If you’re here, help your mom!”
After putting down my bag and coat, when I entered the kitchen, there were various festive dishes from japchae to galbi jjim.
“Hosting a party. Celebrating a 60th birthday? Besides Jesus, whose birthday is it?”
“Whether it’s a party or a celebration… let’s quickly set the table.”
Yeah. Mom was right. A party or a celebration. It’s enough to enjoy delicious food and have a good time with good people.
I washed my hands and helped set the table.
“Seo-jun is going on a business trip at the end of the year. And during the Christmas season.”
“He said he doesn’t have much time there now. I explained why he has to go… I really can’t understand Seo-jun’s world.”
“I feel the same. I came out of my mother’s belly, but I really don’t understand.”
When Seo-jun was young, if he was reading a book, we used to quietly leave the room. Young Seo-jun would sparkle his eyes, explaining new stories he found in the book to us, but we couldn’t understand.
“When he was nine, he was talking about some theory… Explaining some difficult theory, nodding and saying, ‘Oh, I see. Wow, there’s something like that,’ but I couldn’t understand even 10% of it.”
“I studied after leaving work.”
Yoon-hee Mom and Seung-ho Dad shook their heads in amazement.
“When I was an elementary school student, I was so ignored for not knowing the Pythagorean theorem. No elementary school student studies the Pythagorean theorem. It’s all Seo-jun’s fault that I became a mediocre student.”
Smack!
“Ah! Why did you hit me.”
“Who are you blaming for not wanting to study math? You turned it around! Even in the third grade, you couldn’t memorize the times table.”
I stared at Mom, but I couldn’t find words to counter.
As the carefully prepared table revealed itself, Yoon-hee Mom pointed at the window.
“Oh my! It’s snow! It’s snowing!”
“Oh my.”
Indeed, quite thick snowflakes began to fall outside.
“What! We didn’t have a white Christmas for almost 10 years, why! Why does it snow when Seo-jun isn’t here!”
I stuck to the balcony window and howled.
Darn it. It was too beautiful even if it was pretty.
Then.
“Daryul, there’s a call for you. Huh? It’s Seo-jun.”
Seo-jun? Ji Seo-jun?
I swiftly ran over and snatched my phone from my mom’s hand.
“Hello?”
Where are you?
“Me. At your house.”
Come out.
“What?”
It’s snowing. Come outside.
Seo-jun is supposed to arrive the day after tomorrow…
“Are you in Seoul?”
Yeah.
With lightning-fast movements, I grabbed my coat and put it on.
“I’m going outside for a bit.”
“Why?”
Adults, astonished by my incredible agility, asked as they watched me with wide eyes.
“Seo-jun is here.”
Leaving those words behind, I quickly headed outside.
As the communal entrance door opened, and I stepped outside, the accumulating snow had begun to cover the world in white. In the midst of the world turning white with snow, Seo-jun was standing there.

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
