    This is a heart-wrenching love story between two female protagonists, deeply imbued with the themes of "missed opportunity" and "redemption." From a heart initially treated lightly to a grand, public confession; from a resolute wait by the sea to belated regret in the dead of night. The author uses delicate strokes to depict the inner world of the two characters, their love rising with the wind, yet defying its force. When the song that defined the entire summer is finally heard, when the casual joke of "just playing around" transforms into a promise of "waiting for you until sunrise," they understand that the most painful thing is not separation, but the repeated torment of loving each other over time.
