Everyone was looking at the big red balloon. The whole house was decorated with pastel-coloured balloons but this was a shiny, huge, beautiful balloon with the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY written on it from two sides. Young-Jae was too happy to see that. Won-Shik shook hands with the delivery man and thanked him for the timely delivery.
Even after the delivery men left, everyone kept looking at the huge balloon and talking about it. Young-Jae kept thinking about the gift that was inside the balloon. He was too excited to burst it open.
As it was tradition, Eun-Kyung went to the middle of the living room and said, "just like every year, let's say a few words about Shiahbuhji. I will go first. You are the eldest of our family, you provide us with wisdom and honour." Ashma rolled her eyes at the word wisdom. "Thank you for being in our life. Happy Birthday, Shiahbuhji."
