That winter, a day when white snow was piling up.
19_The End.


-Handol Bookstore-

Time has passed, the hot summer has passed, the cool autumn has come to an end, and the cold winter has arrived.

Yeoju started writing another piece, and Seungcheol was still by her side.

Wonwoo and Jisoo's expressions have definitely brightened up compared to before as their business has been going well.


여주
.. It was around this time last year, when I met Jeonghan again.

Jeonghan was still guarding the hospital bed.


승철
When I first met her... I kind of respected her.


여주
..huh?


승철
...I wondered how I could possibly endure that hatred.


승철
You like Jeonghan, don't you? He left without saying a word, but you still hold onto that feeling and aren't even angry.


홍지수
By the way, since when did Yeo-ju start liking Jeong-han-il?


여주
Almost... from the first time we met...? Your eye smile was impressive.


홍지수
Hmm... the first meeting is important, then.


원우
It must be important to Hong Ji-soo~


여주
Huh? Why to Jisoo?


원우
No, Kang Yeo-ju, you didn't know that?


홍지수
Hey, don't say it..


원우
Hong Ji-soo, he said he completely fell in love with you when he first met you.


여주
... what..?


홍지수
.. Of course! After that, I gave up on Choi Seung-cheol, who was like a bodyguard to me!


승철
Well then, no one can approach our Kang Yeo-ju. No one but Yoon Jeong-han is allowed to.


홍지수
Oh, I guess Choi Seung-cheol has given up too.


승철
Do you think I would? Just get up, Yoon Jung-han, and let's start a fight.

The four of them laughed heartily again.

- Front yard of Handol Bookstore -


여주
This is the first time I've seen fireworks with this member.


승철
Is it cloudy today?


여주
Yeah, it's a little blurry, but it's okay!


홍지수
Light it!


여주
huh!


원우
Even the plain black sky is pretty.

Jisoo lit the firecracker, and it shot up into the sky and exploded loudly.


여주
.. Really, it's the same as the one I saw last year. It's pretty.


승철
Well, Kang Yeo-ju is prettier, but that's something Yoon Jeong-han already said, so I can't use it again...


여주
Phew, is it reusable?


홍지수
But it's true.


여주
Oh... why are you guys suddenly like that?

The fireworks that had colored the sky spread in all directions and exploded again.


원우
It's true. Kang Yeo-ju is pretty.


여주
Yaaaa.. what the heck, it's so annoying..


홍지수
Phew, okay. I won't do it anymore.

As much as the fireworks that decorate the sky,

That day, Yeoju really shone brightly.

- The next day, OO Hospital -


여주
Jeonghan- I'm here.

As the female protagonist entered the hospital room, she called Jeong-han in a friendly manner.


여주
We had fireworks yesterday. It was cloudy, but it was great! It was a little empty without you, though...

The heroine took Jeonghan's hand.


여주
Yoon Jung-han... You need to wake up quickly. When you wake up, let's do another fireworks show.



여주
..before that, I have to confess to you.


여주
...You, you really have to get up..?

The female protagonist fell asleep with her head resting on Jeonghan's hand.



정한
...

At that time,

When the first snow fell on the large window behind the heroine,

That winter, a day when white snow was piling up.


Jeonghan began to open his eyes again.

작가 강엽
Hello. I'm Kang Yeop, the author of "That Winter, the Day When the White Snow Pile Up"!

작가 강엽
Before I begin, I'd like to express my gratitude to those who have loved my work. Thank you so much.

작가 강엽
Since it's my first work, the story structure is neither here nor there, and since I'm not familiar with the functions, I'm sure there were many inconveniences while reading, but I've been so happy to see you consistently leaving comments and reading *-*

작가 강엽
Actually, the basic story frame that I first conceived was that Jeonghan would die and Seungcheol and Yeoju would connect..!

작가 강엽
But the more I wrote, the more I wanted to tell stories about the characters, no matter how trivial they were, and as a result, even if I had decided to do so from the beginning, it was too painful to put a death setting on the character, so I ended up changing the direction in the latter half and going with a happy ending. :>

작가 강엽
This is the ending where Jeonghan finally survives..! After finishing, there were still some unfinished plot twists... If I get the chance, I'd like to write the sequel to this piece! This was writer Kang Yeop. Thank you so much to everyone who loved this piece!
