He was the cold, serious top student everyone at school knew, with excellent grades and impeccable self-control. The other was a mischievous transfer student who loved slacking off and talking back, yet somehow ended up sitting beside him. A small favor involving a borrowed eraser sparked a youthful story that took them from bickering to helping each other.
For three years of high school, they prepared for the college entrance exams together, solving problems side by side in the library and making wishes on shooting stars at the sports field. Though college took them to different places, video calls and late-night texts kept their special bond alive. After graduation, they faced workplace challenges and family trials hand in hand, growing ever more certain as they weathered one hardship after another.
Years later, with their hair turned white, they still took morning walks in the sunlight, looked through old photos in the afternoon, and renewed the promises they’d made when they were young beneath the aurora. From their awkward school days to their silver-haired years, from “Deskmate, can I borrow a pen?” to “I’ll be with you for the rest of my life,” this is a story about understanding, protecting one another, and staying together.
If you believe love can outlast time, this book will show you that the greatest happiness is growing old with the person you loved in your youth.
