Unnie began gleefully shopping for mysterious birthday presents very shortly after the SM Culture Humanity concert, at which we discovered that Super Junior (who we'd previously known next to nothing about) still has some serious moxie, which consequently led us both down the primrose path of SuJu MVs (we started out watching them for a good laugh and somehow they...kind of...got cool? 😵). And one night I said, "Hey, let's choose biases from ALL the groups we're listening to, just for fun!"

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So, happy birthday to me, apparently! 🥳🥺😵

Right, so, we've got some fun Korean skin care products (she's buying me all things banana to pair with my Taemin's mint choco lip mask from Christmas...hoping to catch me a 🐤🌱🤭), some gorgeous Jong2min Year of Us photos, a SuperM face mask (I badly need extras so it's practical, really) -

- complete with a (fanmade, obvs 😂) Taemin greeting card, addressed to me in Hangul (it's handy that my name, in Hangul, is the title of a certain musical that someone's bias was in, not so very long ago)...

...and then...it got interesting. 😆

There's the Super Junior lot (Mamacita 😂, Japanese singles Opera and Sexy Free & Single, packs of message/lomo cards and those cool transparent unofficial photocards to split with Unnie)...

...and the ZE:A lot (Illusion and Spectacular with all the trimmings - albums she already has in her collection and suddenly found for cheap - note my bias-in-law Hyungsik at the front of the postcard stack ☺️)...

... and the, "So, I guess I like boys in Super Junior? 😕🤨🤭" lot (Ryeowook's The Little Prince [new w/ photocard] 🥰, Kyuhyun's At Gwanghwamun, Super Junior-K.R.Y.'s When We Were Us [because we may as well face it, I'm not totally unaffected by Yesung either], two Ryeowook posters - and just to really throw things off, Complex by Chansung 😵 [because if I HAD to pick a guy in 2pm...])...

...and, because all of that wasn't quite surprising enough, she got me EXO SOCKS 😳 - that's supposed to be Baekhyun on the left and Sehun "If I HAD to pick a bias..." on the right - plus silly bonus stickers 🙈 as well as a tiny Suho standee (apparently we're going to use the poor man as "The Dud" 😂 whenever we finally set up our Mystery Date board game with the SHINee standees I got before Christmas)...
