Only she, a stranger next door seven years his senior, always appeared by his side when he tried to give up everything, unafraid of his thorns, giving him the care and love he craved. Gradually, he realized he wanted more. But she was a clueless fool when it came to emotions. At 18, he forced a kiss on her, and she left without saying goodbye.

"Why are you so unreasonable?" She questioned. "When have I ever been reasonable? Besides, you're not even married." He was willing to gamble with his life. Ten years. What kind of love is worth chasing and waiting for for an uncertain decade? He kept making her wait. She thought it was just a youthful joke, yet it seemed as if fate was silently waiting for her.
