    Reader note

    The author's friend's story is based on real emotions; I've simply written down what he recounted. A nine-year first love ended in heartbreak. They met the right person at the right time, but unfortunately, the male protagonist suffered from asthma since childhood, and in that era, there was no effective treatment. He constantly struggled on the brink of death, and to avoid burdening the female protagonist, they ultimately broke up.
