Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

151 – Side Story – Siyoon’s Birthday (1)

I checked the calendar at my accommodation and nodded with a determined expression.

Next week is finally that day. It’s Siyoon’s birthday, the first we’ll be celebrating together since we started dating.

Last year’s birthday was only celebrated with a chicken gift certificate, so I want to celebrate properly this year. Even if it’s not to the extent of renting a fancy restaurant like last time.

The problem is that I haven’t thought of a gift for Shiyoon yet. I originally planned on giving her a wallet because it looked a bit worn, but when I checked two weeks ago, she had already changed into a new one.

But when it comes to giving clothes as gifts, even though Siyoon wears my style of clothes well, I have a strong feeling that she is forcing herself to wear them because she is concerned about what I think.

If I were to give it to Shiyoon in his own style, I’d worry that he’d choose something random, so I’d end up worrying even more. Ugh, my head hurts.

There’s nothing I can do. In times like this,

“Ppuaeng, Seungyeon-emong~.”

There is no choice but to summon Seungyeon Emong.

As I headed to the living room, crying, I saw Seungyeon unnie quietly reading a book. I was worried that she might have gone out, but fortunately, she was gone.

“Hey, our youngest, what’s going on now?”

When reading a book, Seungyeon unnie takes off her glasses that she always wears and hugs me with both arms wide open. Thanks to the mid that is comparable to Subin, the warmth is no joke.

I’m not on the small side, but I wish you could share a little.

“Sister, I want to give Siyoon a birthday present. Is there anything good?”

“Birthday present? Oh, right, Siyoon’s birthday is next week, right?”

“huh….”

I guess I remembered something I had said in passing a while ago. Well, my sister has a good memory just like Siyoon, so she remembers small details well.

“How about something like a wallet or fashion items? They’re safe.”

“Actually, I was worried about the wallet, but when I looked at it a while ago, I saw that I had bought a new one.”

“What about perfume? You don’t use it?”

“Yeah, I sometimes throw away the stuff I bought for me… but I don’t like it.”

When we’re dating, she often sprays it on me on purpose, but it seems like she never sprays it on me other than that. So after that, I also tend to give her things like hand cream, skin care, and lotion instead of perfume.

“What is it, what is it? What are you two talking about, sitting right next to each other?”

While the two of us were putting our heads together and thinking, Yerin, who must have been playing a game on her phone in her room, came out into the living room and approached us.

“Yuna is thinking about what to give Siyoon for his birthday. Yerin, can you think of anything?”

“Oh my, is this the advice I, a love expert, am supposed to give?”

Yerin, with her arrogant attitude, imitates lines and poses that seem to be from some anime. I was taken aback when I saw her. Of course,

“What are you talking about, you single person?”

“Hey, what did you just say!”

Hey, you’re the only single person among our members.

Actually, I heard that because she was a trainee for the longest time among us, she barely had time to date. My long-time friend, Soeun, said, “If she had a boyfriend, I would have been the first to know.”

Moreover, this point is like a trigger button for Yerin, so even if you press it lightly, she will react sensitively like now. Honestly, it’s fun, so I use it often.

“Yuna, even if Yerin is single, you shouldn’t tease her like that. Being single isn’t a crime.”

“Sister! That’s not hitting the shield, that’s hitting with the shield!”

Meanwhile, Seungyeon is still in charge of the pure evil position and is putting a hit on Yerin. She’s such a kind sister, but sometimes when I see her, I wonder if she’s doing this on purpose.

“Anyway, back to the story, doesn’t Yerin have any good ideas?”

“Is that what you mean when you beat up a person? Where’s your conscience?”

“It’s okay, sis. I can’t ask Mosul for advice.”

“Hey, wait a minute! I’ll show you what Mosul’s wisdom is!”

Since it has been said that a sister-in-law who tries to stop something is more hateful than a mother-in-law who scolds her, she pretended to stop Seungyeon and tried to ‘tease her’, as expected, Yerin fell for the provocation and sat down on the sofa with a grin.

The sight of him with his arms crossed and worrying makes me feel like he’s just trying to set an example for his friend rather than wanting to be of help.

So what, as long as good ideas come to mind.

“So what opinions have come out so far?”

“Just a wallet and perfume? I’ve been thinking about other clothes, but there’s nothing that really stands out.”

“Then you could give him something like a tablet PC as a gift. It’s decent and he uses it often.”

Sure, as Yerin said, that could be a pretty safe choice. But there’s a reason why it can’t be.

“The one I’m wearing now is the one Siyoon bought for me for my birthday, saying we should be a couple?”

“Was that so? Sorry.”

Anyway, that idiot. I clearly bragged back then, saying, “Siyoon bought me this! We matched as a couple?” but I’m sure he completely forgot. That’s why he’s single, tsk.

“Are you having a weird thought just now?”

“You didn’t think about it?”

“… The look in his eyes was definitely strange.”

Why are you so quick-witted when you’re single? If I had failed to control my facial expressions even a little, I would have been questioned.

“What are you all doing all gathered there? Are you choosing what to have for lunch?”

“Oh, sister!”

So, the three of us put our heads together, but while we were still unable to decide on a suitable gift item, So-eun, who could be called our last hope, opened the door and showed up.

Judging by his disheveled hair, he must have been sleeping all this time. It’s almost lunchtime already. He’s definitely our group’s official Namoo-neul-da-like. He’s so thorough and diligent when he’s working.

“We were all thinking about what Yuna would choose as a birthday present for Siyoon.”

“Birthday present? When is Siyoon’s birthday?”

“next week.”

“Oh, really? I should give you a present through Yuna too. She gave it to me on my birthday before… .”

Yes, that’s right.

Unlike the other members whose birthdays are late, Soeun’s birthday is in March, which is quite early, so Siyoon gave her a gift then.

Actually, it was because I laid the groundwork in front of Siyoon when I was on vacation by saying, “So-eun unnie’s birthday is next week?”, but since So-eun unnie received something anyway, it would have been awkward for her to just let it go.

“What are you going to give Siyoon as a present?”

“Wouldn’t something like a cardigan be good? It would be good to wear in the spring.”

“It’s okay.”

It’s an ordinary gift that doesn’t seem like a bad or good choice. That’s fortunate. I was worried that So-eun might give me a gift with better taste than mine.

“Yuna, if you’re having trouble, should I give you a cheat key?”

“Cheat key?”

“Yeah, I have a gift that most men would like.”

“Me, really?”

I asked back with an expression of disbelief towards my sister who was smiling confidently.

There’s something like that? As expected, it’s a side of someone with experience in love that’s on a whole other level than any other single person. It’s like I can see a halo behind So-eun unnie at those words.

“Siyoon, does he like games?”

“Yeah, I guess you’ll like it as much as other people?”

Even now, I sometimes play games to cool my head. I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard that sometimes, when a blockbuster game comes out, people play it as soon as it’s released.

By the way, why are we talking about games? Are you trying to tell me to give you a computer or laptop as a gift?

“Sister, are you asking me to give you a computer or laptop as a gift? He uses a really good computer and laptop for his work every day… .”

“That’s not true. Of course, it’s a good choice, but I expected Shiyoon to be good with computers.”

When I casually asked her a question about the worries that suddenly came to mind, So-eun unnie put an end to my worries by saying it bluntly. As expected, she is a master of love!

“Actually, I heard from a friend who likes games that a famous gaming gear company recently released a new product.”

“Gaming gear?”

“So to speak, it’s a company that specializes in selling gaming gear, like mice and keyboards.”

As I tilted my head at the unfamiliar word, my sister kindly added an explanation. Now that I think about it, I think I remember hearing it from Siyoon somewhere.

“Anyway, it’s a bit pricey, but I hear the performance is really good. Why not give it as a gift along with something like a headset for listening to music?”

“Ohh…! Good!”

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at such a wonderful choice.

In the first place, Shiyoon probably wouldn’t have thought that I would know about gaming gear, so I could use that blind spot to my advantage and appeal to him as a surprise gift.

Wouldn’t your girlfriend be happier if she knew that you researched and gave her a gift in a field she didn’t know much about? Also, I heard that there are girlfriends who don’t like their boyfriends playing games, so she’d feel respected in that sense.

“I have to order it right now. Thank you so much, Sister!”

“Is So-eun the most sensitive guy among us?”

“As expected, the official Armo femme fatale… .”

“What does this have to do with femme fatale?”

Leaving the three of us talking behind, I immediately searched the Internet for the items that Soeun had told me about.

The price range is cheaper than I expected. Of course, from a normal perspective, it may be a bit expensive, but I’m Han Yuna of Armo! I’m not a woman who can’t spend this much money on her boyfriend!

Here, I should give the music appreciation headset that I use as a couple as a gift. It’s a bit pricey, but of all the headsets I’ve ever used, this is the best. It’s comfortable to wear, lightweight, and the sound quality is outstanding.

Shiyoon tried it once before and was impressed, saying, “Oh, it’s good.” So if she liked it, she would definitely like it and not hate it.

The color is unified to black, which is Siyoon’s favorite… Okay, I’ve completed my order with this!

“Oh right, Yuna. Listen to me.”

“What is it, sis?”

I was giggling to myself as I pictured Siyoon’s face, looking delighted at the gift, when Seungyeon suddenly waved at me.

Then he looked around the two people to make sure no one was listening, and whispered to me in a secret voice.

“… So, … … Try it.”

“… … !?”

It was so small that I could barely hear it even in a whisper, but it reached my ears clearly.

The problem was that the advice was so absurd that I jumped up from my seat and screamed as if I had been burned.

“How can you do something like that!”

“Why? If you do just this one thing to a boy that age, he’ll die.”

“Sister!”

I swung both arms and fought back roughly at my sister, who was giggling with an evil expression.

No matter how happy Siyoon is, there’s no way I could do something like that! I have shame too!
