When she was sixteen, her family moved overseas, leaving her alone in their enormous house. Starved of companionship and care for so long, she was plagued by anxiety day and night, and stubborn insomnia soon took hold.
The more unsettled she felt, the more sleepless nights she endured, the more often she met a boy in her midnight reveries. For ten whole years, from an awkward youth to a mature and steady man, his figure never left her. He stayed by her side through countless lonely nights, becoming her only solace in those solitary years.
She always thought he was merely a fantasy unique to her, and never dared hope that his companionship could enter the real world.
But fate had other plans. By chance, the figure who had kept her company every night appeared before her eyes. His features, his personality and preferences, even his every word and gesture, were exactly as she remembered. Overwhelming joy and disbelief swept through her.
As they spent their days together, the young man gradually recognized her, and memories long sealed away suddenly came back to life. The quiet, artistic girl who loved to paint was none other than the gifted little painter he had met at an exhibition years ago, a girl who had left an unforgettable impression on him at first sight.
After ten years of keeping each other company from afar, the bond planted by a brief childhood encounter finally brought them together again. The feelings that had existed only in the dead of night at last became real. He took the initiative and followed his heart, showering her with tenderness to make up for every lonely moment. This love, delayed by ten years, would finally find its happy ending. For all the years to come, they would never be alone again.
