⋮ You loved him as much as he loved cherries. ⸝⸝

❛ The tiredness was no longer just physical — it was something that consumed you from within. The big city, the endless piles of files, the sleepless nights... All of this sucked you into a dark hole from which it seemed impossible to escape. Until, in a rare moment of lucidity, you made the decision: it was time to go back home. Your hometown welcomes you like a warm embrace of nostalgia, full of forgotten memories and smiles that time has not been able to erase. Your mother, always welcoming, makes a point of pampering you as if you were still that dreamy from before. But what you didn't expect was to meet the most vivid reminder of your past — Choi Seungcheol. Your first love. The boy who once made your heart race and who now, with more mature eyes and a smile that carries stories, still has the same effect on you. But he is no longer just the fearless young man you knew... He is a father. A single father of a charming little girl, whose laugh brightens even the cloudiest days. Between conversations at sunset, casual reunions that seem planned by fate and tender moments alongside his daughter, Seungcheol makes you question whether the happiness you sought in the big city was always there, in that place, in that person. ❜
