Dearest Young Me,

Today is your birthday but due to circumstances beyond my control, I could not spend time celebrating with you over the interwebs. But I did convince Junsu to send you a birthday wish -

Me: “Oh my god, hiiiiiiiiiiiii Junsu!”

Dabutt: “Ah Sanchi noona, long time no see,” 

Me: “I know right? But Junsu, what did I tell you? This is America, just call me Sanchi okay?  Or baby, darling, sweetheart—”

Dabutt: “Umm..er..yeah..okay Sanchi noo…I mean Sanchi but do you think you can let go of my hand? I think the circulation stopped.”

Me: “Oh, keke sorry.”

Dabutt: “It’s okay, ^^ So you said you needed my help for a birthday message for a friend?”

Me: “Yes, that is right, she is a very very dear friend and it’s her birthday. Here, this is her.”

Dabutt: “Oh wow, well , she is lovely. So whats her name?”

Me: “It’s Kim Young Me”

Dabutt: “Oh my god sun, no way, that is my mom’s name too! Wait let me show you the photo I keep in my wallet at times.”

Me: “Yes darling, thats very umm…sweet and all just don’t mention your mom in front of her okay?”

Dabutt: “But why?”

Me: “She has this thing about your mom,”

Dabutt: “She has what thing about my mom?”

Me: “It’s complicated.”

Dabutt: -______-

Me: “Forget that, just call her Liz and wish her the way I told you too okay?”

Dabutt: “Okay— Elizabeth…Elizabeth”

Me: “Why are you on your knees and why does your voice sound so creepy?”

Dabutt: “I was trying to be in character.”

Me: “Can you forget the musical for like one minute? She is coming to see it, SO JUST DO THAT THING I ASKED YOU TO DO!”

Dabutt: “FAYNE, BUT FIRST LOOK AWAY!”

Me: “FAYNE!”

Dabutt: “LIZ…..I mean Liz,”

Dabutt: “I wanted to do my angel pose but Sanchi Noona is making me do this.”

Me: “Stop talking and shake that ass.”

Me: “Happy Birthday Liz, I love you and by the way the back view was fantastic.”
