Mountain and Bamboo

Childhood friends x reunion after a long separation. This is a story about a secret crush, about a boy and a girl who met the very best versions of each other in their teenage years.

After all,

“Alone, a slender bamboo grows; its roots entwine Mount Tai.”

To her, he was Mount Tai, and she was the bamboo at its foot.

Some are childhood friends, innocent and carefree together. For others, their entire youth is spent looking up at someone.

Luckily, one day, he finally turned around and looked back.
