a-2, The secret Christmas gift 크리스마스 선물-비밀
Je(Canadian)제시 : 2004, December
2009,
January => I met them about four years ago in Ulsan.
They love Art very much and love Korean cultural too.
Recently
they are living on Jeju Island.
Jessie
was studied in Canada and her major subject was an Art.
She sent
me an e-mail about the secret Christmas gift for her lover to Daniel
as followings.
내가 이들을 처음 만난것은 2000년대 초 울산이었다. 그들은 예술을 사랑하고 한국의 문화에 관심이 많았다. 최근까지 그들은 제주도에 머물면서 학교/학원에서 영어선생님으로 일했다. 제시는 캐나다에서 미술을 전공했고 그의 남자친구 다니엘은 미국에서 영문학을 전공했다. 아래 이메일은 제시의 남자친구 다니엘(미국인)을 위한 '크리스마스선물, 비밀'의 사연이 담겨 있다.

hello chang-han,
it's me, jessie...DJ 's
girlfriend.
i'm really looking forward to seeing you and your show next
weekend.
the book you sent us is great.
i have a question for you. DJ
and i both really love your paintings and i would like to have you paint one for
us.
i would love to give daniel one of your paintings for a christmas
present.
i really love your dragon fly water colours.
could you maybe do
one with two dragonflies...a male and female?
it wouldn't have to be a big
painting.
do you think you could paint it?
how much would it cost?
i
know daniel has always wanted one of your paintings so i would love to buy
one for him.
email me and let me know what you think.
don't tell
DJ though...i want it to be a surprise. :)
see you
soon,
je

About the Japan
trip, Jessie and I will be arriving in Fukuoka by ..... Actually, Jessie does
not know for sure about this plan, because I am buying the trip for her
Christmas present.
For this reason, you should not discuss it with her until
after next week. It's fun to be sneaky at Christmas
time.

I hope you can visit here
sometime.
You knew all of our Christmas secrets this year.
About the
painting for me and also about the Japan trip for Jessie...
She seems excited
about the trip so I am happy.
I have been thinking more about our plan.
I
think you are right about going to Tokyo.
