During my first year of high school, I wanted to express my feelings but due to shyness, I didn't take the next step.

A confession planned for a long time since high school graduation was never spoken, instead ending abruptly after being scolded and having my self-esteem hurt.

After those four years, though he didn't necessarily go through a lot of hardships, studying and starting a business in a foreign country meant he tasted all the difficulties and exhaustion. Even when he was mature enough, he still couldn't let her go, so he would try again.

He just didn't know, what he called hardship, loneliness or toil, compared to Tinglan's, was less than a thousandth of hers.
