He sat before the table as he stared at the screen without moving. He was not sure what he was feeling, but he just felt that he had lost something important. However, he could not put a finger on what it was.

The hole in his heart was growing wider and wider and his mind went blank until he clicked an email open. Those words of concern appeared before him and he started to soften.

It was an email from Luna, filled with caring words...

He felt warm every time he received emails like this.

He suddenly remembered that this was his private email address and nearly no one knew about it. Nevertheless, since Luna was the woman he loved, of course, she knew about it.

The void in his heart was instantly filled up. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. However, it was Lisa's skinny figure that came into his mind.

"I've put the clothes in your car. It's cold over there. Keep it."

"I'm alright. Get some rest if you're tired. I can go back myself and you don't have to send me back."

Another image flashed in his mind and Luna's cute and lovely image appeared.

"Hanbin, put on more clothes. I bought a new coat today. I'll wear it for you tomorrow!"

"Hanbin's, can you go with me? I'm scared to be alone..."

"I can't really think of anything to give you for your birthday, but I heard this is pretty good. I hope that all your wishes come true."

He already forgot which birthday it was, but she had cycled all the way to his house at midnight to call him out and give him this jar full of folded stars.

He looked at those little stars quietly for a long time, recalling her slightly red fingertips when she handed the glass jar to him.

"Happy birthday. I'm not going to give you a lot of gifts in the future because I'm worried that you might not value my gifts that much anymore if I give them too frequently, so I'm only giving you gifts on your birthday. I'll head back for now. Get some rest soon."

She had always been like that.

After some time, a sense of dread appeared in his quiet eyes. He squatted down and picked up the stars one by one, not stopping even when the glass stabbed his fingers...

Back then, him and her...

They were so young and innocent. Those memories were getting further and further away.

They were getting so far away that he did not even remember how the weather was on that day.

She had said, "Hanbin, I don't know who you've ever liked or who liked you all these years, but are you willing to hold your promise onto the marriage contract if I asked you to?"
