Synopsis

[The heroine pursues him at first + the hero has someone else in his heart (his childhood sweetheart barely appears) + later, he must make amends]

She once filled an entire summer with her love, like hydrangeas blooming without end.

The way he looked at someone else was gentler than moonlight.

She didn’t stay. She simply looked up in the evening breeze, then gave herself back to herself.

Later, he caught up with her. She gave him a gentle hug, then pushed him away. She turned and cried, not for him, but for the girl who had finally learned to love herself.

He handed her a balloon, and she tied it around his wrist again. She said, “There’s a flower called Endless Summer. If you’re willing to wait, it can bloom for a long time.”

In the darkness, he brushed her hand. She said, “Just for a little while.” When the lights came on, she pulled away.

At sunset, he held out his hand. Her fingertips touched it, then slipped away.

He asked if he could still come closer. She said, “If I have time.”

She left the answer to time, and kept her tenderness for herself.

Feel-Good Power Fantasies!!!

Whenever I search for feel-good stories on Tomato Novel, all I get are frustrating ones. Can a site as big as Tomato Novel really not have a single satisfying story? It doesn't have to be over-the-top, just not frustrating! A female lead would be best. To be clear: no mistaken identity, no hiding his abilities, and no contrived schemes.

Looking for Unconventional Sweet Romance

I’m looking for some less conventional sweet romance.

What else is there?
