Chapter 1. First Encounter
.
Thump-
???
Oh.. I'm sorry..//
최승철
Oh..no.
.
Swish-
.
That was my first meeting with you.
한여주
Ugh...what should I do...it seems like everything is ruined...
최승철
Ah..// It's okay.. What's your name?
한여주
yes?
최승철
If you're sorry, let's hang out together later.
.
I asked you for a promise as if I was being led by something.
한여주
Uh... I'm Han Yeo-ju! Ah! My number is...
.
Pressing the number...
한여주
Then see you later for sure!!
최승철
yes..//
.
That was my first meeting with you. It was spring.
.
Chapter 2. Promise
.
I forgot about it for two months. And then I got a text from you a while ago.
한여주
-I... I... gave you something to do... You said you wanted to hang out... Do you want to hang out on Thursday?
.
I smiled when I saw the text you sent me.
최승철
-Okay. Then let's meet at the place we first met.
한여주
-Uh...where was that?ㅠㅠ
.
You're cute. I can feel it without even looking. How cute is your flustered appearance right now...
최승철
-Haha..the school library~
한여주
-Ah~? Hehe, then see you there!
최승철
-yes~
.
And I'm going to see you today. For our second meeting.
한여주
Hey! Why did you call me today?
최승철
I... that...
.
As soon as I met you, you asked me why I wanted to meet you.
.
The moment I saw you, I was so absorbed in the smile you gave me that I forgot why I called you. I guess I really am crazy about you.
최승철
Let's play together today...
한여주
Ah~! Great! I was bored today because I didn't have any plans!
최승철
Ah.. that's a relief..
.
Even when you were excited about not having any plans, that look was so lovely. This is love, because love is something that looks lovely no matter what.
한여주
Then when do you want to play?
.
I answered without hesitation.
최승철
Right now.
한여주
Hmm..good!.
.
So you and I made our third appointment.
.
Chapter 3. Our Third Season. Autumn
.
Today is Christmas. I want to spend today with you too.
최승철
-Hey, heroine... do you want to play with me today?
한여주
-Okay! When?
.
I told you without hesitation, just like I did the third time I made an appointment with you a few months ago.
최승철
-Let's meet now
한여주
-okay!
.
I laughed at the reply you sent. Just like the first time we met.
.
So I met you, had fun, and was going home.
한여주
Seungcheol, I'm going to America tomorrow...
.
The moment I heard those words, my thought process stopped. It was as if everything had stopped, and nothing moved except us.
최승철
...what?
한여주
I'm going to America...huh..
.
You shed tears. You looked so beautiful. I feel like I can't do anything without you now.
최승철
...why?
한여주
...study abroad..
최승철
...make a promise with me.
한여주
Huh..what?
.
I have no choice but to make a promise to you.
최승철
Let's meet again at the same place where we first met. Don't forget. We'll be in love.
한여주
uh?
최승철
I love you, Han Yeo-ju
.
At that moment, my body gradually came closer to you and I kissed your lips.
.
That moment was a very cold winter Christmas. The fourth promise was made.
.
Chapter 4. A Cold Winter. And a Lonely Parting
.
Four months passed since then... and we turned 25.
최승철
It's today..
.
The day I made my first promise to you. And the day I made my fourth or last promise.
최승철
Should I come...?
.
It hadn't been long since I graduated, but everything felt new and like it had been a long time.
.
Step by step...
.
Again... Again...
.
Thump-
???
Oh... I'm sorry...
최승철
Heh..you're here..
한여주
Yeah.. I'm here. It's me, Han Yeo-ju.
.
We hugged as soon as we saw each other. We were so happy.
최승철
Welcome..
한여주
huh!
.
And now it seems like it's time to make a promise. Really... a final promise.
최승철
Lady, come out with me. I promise... I'll treat you well.
한여주
My answer was already decided several months ago?
최승철
uh?
한여주
You promised. Let's meet when we love each other.
최승철
no way..
한여주
Okay. Let's date, Seungcheol. I promise... I'll treat you really well.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, I kissed you on the lips. I didn't care who saw. Who else would care at this moment but you and me?
.
Now is our moment
.
This is our first meeting as lovers.
최승철
Ha..I love you!
한여주
me too..
.
I'm back again. You and me... and spring.
