The Summer Breeze Meets the Evening Boat

He went to the wrong private room for a blind date and deliberately acted like a spoiled rich playboy, hoping to scare off his date.

The woman across from him took one look and saw right through his act:

“You don’t have to pretend. I can see how tired you are.”

One big misunderstanding later, their elders forced them to live together.

He was cold, rebellious, and prickly, yet he left a light on for her late at night, held an umbrella over her in the rain, and was always the first to shield her when someone picked on her.

She was independent and aloof, used to toughing things out alone, yet she panicked when he fell ill, worried when he was hurt, and secretly felt at ease when he was quiet.

No one knew they had been childhood sweethearts, separated for more than a decade.

No one knew he was hiding his identity just so he could quietly protect her and make her life bloom.

No one knew she had recognized the boy who once shared half a piece of candy with her on the very first day they met.

Then, at an industry banquet, someone publicly mocked her humble background and tiny studio.

The man who had always kept a low profile and endured in silence finally dropped every disguise and revealed who he really was.

The whole room fell silent.

He walked up to her, his voice low as it rang through the room:

“What I’ve always hated wasn’t blind dates or being set up.

I was afraid that, by the narrowest margin, I’d lose you again.”

This time,

The summer breeze rises once more, and the evening boat sails home.

He will never let go of her hand again.
