Parent's Day (TL: Unlike global, in Korea May 8 isn't mother's day but parent's day)
Seojun had a lot of fun at the campsite with his friends on Children's Day (TL: May 5), and today they would be making carnations for their parents at school.
First-graders are not allowed of using scissors, so the teacher has already cut the red, yellow, and pink petals in advance.
The petals were glued together to make carnations, and unlike other children who had grass on their hands and torn petals, Seojun's carnations were as pretty as those sold in stores.
The shape of the petals was different, perhaps because Seojun folded the petal paper himself and put in some wrinkles to make it real.
"Seojun, how do you do that?"
Ji-Yoon, sitting next to Seojun, asked. It was very different from his carnations with messy grass.
Seojun was much prettier. He also wanted to give pretty flowers to his mom and dad.
"This? It's pretty if you fold it and open it up." You have to fold it in half."
When Seojun showed a demonstration and folded the petals, not only Ji-Yoon but also his friends who sat around him folded along.
Before they knew it, the other children also flocked around Seojun.
"Like this?"
"Yes! You're good."
The teacher, who looked pleased with Seojun's mature appearance, rolled up her sleeves to help the children who failed to make their carnations.
"Okay. I'll help you, too."
Suddenly, the whole class helped each other and made pretty carnations.
When the children were busy making carnations for their mothers and fathers, Seojun's hands moved busily.
He folded the colored paper he bought with his own pocket money and cut it neatly – the teacher helped him – he made a bag full of flowers.
When he returned home from Taekwondo classes, his mom and dad were waiting for him.
Seojun looked at the clock. It's not yet 6 o'clock, but his father already returned from work.
"Dad! You left work early".
"Hmm."
Lee Min-Joon awkwardly at Seojun's words.
It's Parents' Day, so he can't say he came early because he wanted to get carnations.
Seojun, who guessed his father's mind, smiled and opened his navy school bag.
"This is for my mom. This is for my dad!"
There are now pretty handmade carnations on their hands together win an envelope for each.
"Mom and dad. I love you!"
Seojun hugged the two people tightly. Seo Eun-Hye and Lee Min-Joon blushed without realizing it.
They put the carnations and letters on the floor and hugged Seojun back.
'Oh. My baby, when did he grow up so much?'
They would receive carnations and letters annually, but their hearts would still tremble every time.
"Mom and dad love Seojun so much!"
Seo Eun-Hye and Lee Min-Joon read the letter with carnations.
The shy Seojun quickly went back into his room and brought out some boxes that he had prepared in advance.
After reading the letter, his mom and dad were wiping away their tears.
