[회사일이냐, 해변이냐?]
은희가 성훈에게 물었다. "오늘도 또 나가야 해? 오늘 우리 결혼 기념일인데. 저녁 7시에 저녁 예약해 놨어." 성훈이 집을 나서면서 대답했다. "오늘 배달 두 건만 할 거야. 지금 5시 반이야. 금방 돌아올 테니까, 그때 저녁 먹으러 가자." 성훈은 아침 8시부터 오후 5시까지 일하고, 그 후에 배달 일을 했다. 스마트폰 앱을 이용하여 피자와 치킨을 배달했다. "빨리 돌아와." "응, 그럴게."
다행히 두 주문 모두 같은 치킨집에서 나왔다. 그는 30분 내로 마칠 수 있을 것 같았다. 치킨집을 나서자 비가 내리기 시작했다. "앗, 비가 오네. 서둘러야겠다." 비가 오면 오토바이를 빠르게 몰 수 없어 배달이 지연됐다. 그는 비옷을 입고 출발했다.
얼마 안 가서, 그는 비 속에서 떨고 있는 젖은 강아지를 발견했다. "왜 혼자 비 속에 있니?" 성훈은 강아지를 집어 안았다. 그는 오토바이 뒤쪽의 배달 상자에 강아지를 넣을 공간을 찾으려고 했지만, 적당한 공간이 없었다. 젖은 강아지가 치킨 박스를 적시게 할까 봐 걱정되었다. "널 여기 넣을 수 없어. 그냥 안고 가야겠다." 그는 강아지를 비옷 안에 넣었고, 더 느리게 운전해야 했다.
첫 번째 아파트에는 강아지를 위한 적당한 대피소가 없었다. "배달부터 해야지." 첫 번째 배달을 마친 후, 그는 다음 집으로 향했다. "배달하고 나면 강아지를 오토바이의 배달 상자에 넣어야겠다. 비가 많이 오네. 우선 너를 집에 데려가야겠다."
다음 집에서, 치킨을 전달한 후, 고객이 말했다. "이건 우리가 주문한 게 아니에요."
"맙소사!" 그는 두 배달을 혼동했다. 강아지를 위한 공간을 찾다가 두 박스의 위치를 바꾸어버렸다.
"이거 매운 거예요. 아이가 있어서 못 먹어요. 교환해 주세요." 그는 당황했다.
"은희가 화낼 거야. 오늘 우리 결혼 기념일인데!"
그는 치킨집에 돌아가 실수를 인정하고, 매운 치킨은 그가 먹겠다고 했다. 대체 상품을 기다리는 동안 더 많은 주문이 쌓였다. 성훈은 은희에게 문자 했다. "늦을 거 같아. 미안."
"제 것 좀 서둘러 주실 수 있나요?" "노력해볼게요. 근데, 다른 사람들도 기다리고 있어요." 두 번째 배달을 마칠 때쯤 되니 거의 7시 30분이었다. "우리 예약시간 늦어질 것 같아, " 성훈이 집에 도착하며 말했다.
"늦겠다고 했을 때 이미 취소했어. 다음에 가자, " 은희가 대답했다. 성훈은 미안한 마음에 말했다. "오늘은 배달 일하지 말았어야 했는데."
은희가 젖은 강아지를 보며 물었다. "이건 기념일 선물이야?" "아냐, 비 속에서 찾았어. 비 그칠 때까지 기다렸다가 돌려주려고."
은희는 강아지를 닦아주며 물었다. "뭐 먹을까? 배달시킬까, 아니면 이 매운 치킨 먹을까? 전자레인지에 데우면 맛있을 것 같아." 성훈은 그녀의 이해에 감동했다.
치킨을 나누어 먹으며, 그는 말했다. "너랑 결혼해서 다행이야." 은희가 웃으며 말했다. "나도. 그리고 이 강아지도 키우자. 특별한 선물이 될 거야." 놀란 성훈이 물었다. "진짜? 키울 거야?" 은희가 고개를 끄덕였다. "응, 그게 좋을 것 같아. 우리 특별한 기념일 선물이니까."
다음 날, 성훈과 은희는 강아지에게 이름을 지어주고 싶었다. 은희가 말했다. "‘비’ 어때? 비 속에서 찾았으니까." 성훈도 그 아이디어를 좋아했고, 강아지의 이름은 ‘비’가 되었다.

[ Delivery Food on the Wedding Anniversary ]
"Eunhee said, "Are you going out today? Today is a special day. We'll have dinner at 7 p.m."
Sunghoon said, "I have two deliveries. It's 5:30 p.m. I'll come back soon."
Sunghoon worked until 5 p.m. Then, he did deliveries. He delivered chicken or pizza.
"Come back quickly," Eunhee said. "I will," he answered.
It started to rain. Sunghoon thought, "Oh no! I must go fast."
The rain made him go slow on his motorcycle. He wore his raincoat.
He saw a puppy in the rain. "Why are you wet?" he asked. He picked up the puppy. The puppy went into his raincoat. Sunghoon went slower.
At the second house, a man said, "This is not my chicken. It's spicy. we can't eat it."
Sunghoon thought, "I made a mistake. Oh no!"
He went back to the shop. He had to wait. He was late. He sent Eunhee a message: "Sorry. I am late."
When he came home, it was 8 p.m.
"We missed dinner," Sunghoon said.
Eunhee said, "It's okay. We can have dinner next time."
Eunhee laughed and said, "Is the puppy for our special day?"
Sunghoon looked at the puppy and said, "I found him. We can find a home for him tomorrow."
Eunhee said, "Let's eat this spicy chicken. It's okay."
They ate. Sunghoon said, "I'm happy with you."
Eunhee smiled, "Me too. Let's keep the puppy. He is our gift."
They called the puppy "Rain" because of the rain.

[ Delivery Food on the Wedding Anniversary ]
Eunhee said to Sunghoon, "Are you going out today? Today is our wedding anniversary, and we'll have dinner at 7 p.m."
Sunghoon answered, "I'm gonna do just two deliveries. It's only 5:30 p.m. I'll be back soon for dinner."
Sunghoon worked until 5 p.m. at the company. Then, he did delivery jobs. He did deliveries of pizzas and chicken.
"Please come back quickly," Eunhee said. "I will," he replied.
Both his orders were from the same chicken shop. He thought it would be quick. But then, it began to rain.
"Oh no, rain! I must hurry."
The rain made him drive his motorcycle slowly. He was late because of this. He put on his raincoat and continued.
On his way, he saw a wet puppy.
"Why are you in the rain?" he wondered. Sunghoon picked up the puppy. He tried to put it in his delivery box, but there wasn’t enough space.
He said, "I'll keep you safe." So, he put the puppy inside his raincoat. He had to drive even more slowly.
At the first house, there was no good spot for a wet puppy. He quickly delivered. After that, he went to the next house.
"After delivery, I'll put the puppy in the delivery box. The rain is heavy. The puppy should come home with me." He thought.
At the second house, the customer said, "This isn't ours. It's spicy chicken. My child can't eat spicy food."
Sunghoon saw he made a mistake. The puppy had made him mix up the boxes.
"Oh no!" He thought of Eunhee and their special day.
He went back to the shop to correct his mistake. It took extra time, and other orders were waiting. He messaged Eunhee, "I'll be late. I'm so sorry."
When he arrived home, it was almost 8 p.m.
"We missed our dinner reservation," Sunghoon said with a sad face.
Eunhee replied, "It's okay. We can go another day."
Sunghoon felt sorry and said, "I shouldn't have taken the delivery today."
Eunhee laughed looking at the wet puppy, "Is he our anniversary gift?"
Sunghoon replied, "I found him while delivering. We'll find his place tomorrow."
Eunhee dried the puppy and suggested, "Let's eat at home. We have spicy chicken. It'll be tasty."
Sunghoon, moved by her understanding.
As they ate chicken, Sunghoon said, "I'm so happy with you."
Eunhee smiled, "Me too. Let's keep the puppy. He's our special gift for our wedding anniversary."
The next day, they named the puppy "Rain" because they met in the rain.

[ Delivery Food on the Wedding Anniversary ]
Eunhee asked Sunghoon, "Do you have to go out again today? Today is our wedding anniversary. And I booked dinner for 7 pm."
As Sunghoon left home, he replied, "I'm gonna do just two deliveries today. It's only 5:30 now. I'll come back soon, and we can go for dinner."
Sunghoon worked from 8 am to 5 pm at his job, and after that, he took on delivery work. Using a smartphone app, he delivered pizzas and chicken.
"Come back quickly." "Okay, I will."
Luckily, both orders were from the same chicken shop. He thought he could finish in 30 minutes.
As he stepped out of the chicken shop, it started raining.
"Oh no, it's raining. I have to finish in a hurry."
When it came to rain, he couldn’t drive his motorcycle fast, causing a delay in his deliveries. He put on his raincoat and started driving.
Before long, he noticed a wet puppy shaking in the rain.
"Why are you here in the rain alone?" Sunghoon picked up and held the puppy. He tried to find space for the puppy in his delivery box on the back of his motorcycle, shifting the chicken boxes around, but there was no suitable space.
He worried the wet puppy might dampen the chicken boxes. "I can't put you here. I'll have to hold you." He put the puppy inside his raincoat, so he had to drive even slower.
There was no suitable shelter for the puppy at the first apartment. "I need to deliver first." After the first delivery, he headed to the next house.
"After delivery, I'll put the puppy in the delivery box of the motorcycle. It's raining hard. I should take you home first."
At the next house, after handing over the chicken, the customer said, "This isn't what we ordered."
"Oh my god!" He had mixed up the two deliveries. While finding space for the puppy, he changed the position of two boxes and confused the order.
"This is spicy. We can't eat it because of our child. Please exchange it."
He panicked, "Eunhee will be upset. Today is our wedding anniversary!"
He returned to the chicken shop, admitted the mistake, and said that he would eat the spicy chicken himself. He waited for the replacement while more orders piled up. Sunghoon texted Eunhee, "I'll be late. Sorry."
"Can you hurry with mine?" "I'll try. But, others are waiting too."
By the time he finished the second delivery, it was almost 7:30 pm.
"We might be too late for our reservation," Sunghoon said, arriving home.
"I already canceled it when you said you'd be late. We can go some other time," Eunhee replied.
Feeling guilty, Sunghoon said, "I shouldn’t have taken the delivery job today."
Eunhee, looking at the wet puppy, asked, "Is this an anniversary gift?"
"No, I found it in the rain. We'll return it once it stops raining."
Eunhee dried the puppy and asked, "What should we eat? Should we order something or eat this spicy chicken? It'll be delicious if we microwave it."
Sunghoon, moved by her understanding.
As they shared the chicken, he expressed, "I'm so glad I married you."
Eunhee smiled, "Me too. And let's keep the puppy. It'll be our special gift."
Surprised, Sunghoon asked, "Really? We'll keep it?"
Eunhee nodded, "Yes, it feels right. It’s our special anniversary gift."
The next day, Sung-hoon and Eun-hee wanted to name the dog. Eun-hee said, "How about 'Rain'? We found him in the rain."
Sunghoon liked the idea, and the dog's name became Rain.
