   A truly pure and innocent story! It's incredibly good. The male lead has loved the female lead since childhood. She died in a car accident the year after her college entrance exams and suddenly appears 11 years later. He recognizes her and is overjoyed… He assumes she still loves her ex-boyfriend (she never loved him; she just agreed to date him out of boredom after the exams, but died before they could even go on a date), so he's hesitant to approach her. He's content as long as she comes back to their shared home at night and smiles at him… He's incredibly humble, but his love is truly admirable. Highly recommended!!!
