Sweet first and then cruelty # # Summer Regret
That summer when the cicadas couldn't stop chirping, the mints on his fingertips melted into her palms, becoming the secret of their acquaintance in junior high school. She is a sweet and obedient student in everyone's eyes, and he is a "bad boy" who hides his gentleness. The warm milk and class notes in the drawer convey an unspoken understanding.
They reunited in high school, and their mint-flavored love lasted the whole summer. He called her "little teacher" and said he would buy her candies every day. But the stomach cancer diagnosis certificate was hidden deep in her schoolbag. She smiled and shook the candy wrapper: "It won't hurt if you eat something sweet."
He thought it was an old problem, but after the college entrance examination, he saw her face as pale as paper. She left him six years of recordings, saying that they eat sweets together every summer, but she was always stuck in July, when the cicadas sang the most.
Later, he always had mints in his pocket, but he could no longer taste the sweetness they once had.
