A Quiet Summer Romance

Five years ago, she was a lucky girl, so happy that one small step forward could have turned her into a princess. Five years later, she is a strong girl, strong enough to let her tears freeze into icicles inside her heart. When the prince in her heart descends the staircase, his arm linked with that of another beautiful girl, this heartbreaking misunderstanding leads her to choose a path parallel to his, with no point of intersection. If fairy tales were real, she wasn't actually a princess, just a girl quietly holding a glass slipper and waiting for true love... And yet, he has never forgotten his promise to make her happy, even though there's already someone else by her side... Will she ever understand the unspoken love of the boy who cherishes lemongrass most of all?
