    These are all short stories. The first one has a minor foot injury but is still pretty good. The second one is alright, I think. The male lead barely knows the female lead, so it ends badly. But I think the most heartbreaking part is the relationship between the female lead and the second male lead. The third one made me cry from chapter eight to the end; it was very tragic. The fourth one is very short, but also very tragic.
