Sojung was happily cooking in the morning while her husband,Youngmin went out to buy some milk at the nearest convenience store.
She was frying the bacon when she heard the door was knocked.She thought it was one of Youngmin's play so she just left it be,but soon she heard someone called her name but it was not Youngmin's voice.
She turn off the stove and untie her apron,walking to the door.Holding the cold knob she twist it and open it.
"Oh Jimin what are you doing here?"Sojung asked Jimin one of her friend during her high school year who's standing infront of her house with 8 letters in his hands.
"T-this is for you,Jin passed away yesterday night and it seems like he's been writing this for you."Jimin said with a cracking voice.
Sojung just widen her eyes ,shocked on what she's hearing.Theres no way Jin passed away,he looked completely fine when she met him .
"T-thank you f-for giving me these,Im sorry for your lost"She said grabbing the letters from his hand and close the door immediately.
She sit down on the kitchen's table comfortably before opening the letter,reading it one by one.
She cant help but to bit her lips stopping herself from crying.She's happy with her life already that she dont even notice Jin's feelings.She feel bad for him.
"Babe Im home—-are you crying?"Youngmin voice echoed around the house when he saw his wife having tears on her face.
Sojung wipe her tears harshly and cry hard when she saw Youngmin with a bottle of milk in his hands.
Youngmin walked towards her crying figure and engulf her in a tight hug ,from behind the letters are scattered messily on the table.He read some of them and understand the situation .
"H-he died Min-ah"She cried on his chest while he just stroke her back softly making sure she's letting all her tears out.
"Its okay Sojung,cry all you want.Nobody is to be blame for.God love him thats why he take him this early"Youngmin said comforting his wife.
"I feel b-bad for him,h-he likes me but I m-moved on already from h-him.Even though I d-dont like h-him,he's my f-first lo-love Youngmin-ah"Sojung cried harder and harder.
Youngmin just continue to comfort her while his heart torn a little,the way Sojung say that Jin is her first love made him jealous a little even though they are officially husband and wife now.
"I understand"Youngmin said painfully and cup Sojung's cheek wiping her tears away from her face.
"Now lets put this letters into your memory box,the memory box doesn't have to be a happy one ,it can be a sad one too ."Youngmin said and Sojung just nod hiccuping.
Youngmin and Sojung made a memory box for each of them.They will put their memories in their including photos,notes and others.
Sojung took out a pink box from her closet and carefully slip the 8 letters into it before breathing heavily.
Youngmin hugged Sojung from behind and they continue to eat their breakfast leaving all the worries behind.
After all the pink box that Sojung put the letters into it is the box that Jin gave her during their high school years,she felt safe having that box.
