The late-summer breeze swept over the wheat stacks in the countryside. Five boys entrusted their wishes to the height of summer, and buried their secrets and the rest of their lives there, too.
When that summer ended, they each set off toward a different life.
Years later, some held on to their friendship, some pursued love, some betrayed others, and some could only sigh over the past. Love and hate became entangled, self-interest corroded everything, and the warmth of old days slowly fell apart.
Human nature, self-interest, secret crushes, suspicion, and misunderstandings piled up, layer upon layer.
The five people who had once been closest slowly tore off their masks of affection under the strain of making ends meet and giving in to desire.
An unforeseen upheaval scattered them. Some went far away, while others kept watch. The quiet boy remained forever in the wind of that year.
When they returned, the wind blew through that summer again, taking every beautiful thing with it.
