All tenderness and regret began in that hot midsummer.
That year, the cicadas were chirping noisily, the hot wind was turning the pages of the book, and the silent young man with a cold and reserved personality met the lively and warm little sun. They are college roommates who meet each other for the first time and confront each other everywhere. They are two completely opposite people, standing against each other through alienation and prejudice.
An accident eliminated all barriers, and the young man's worries came to light. The person who had always been calm and restrained was finally moved by the warm sunshine and accepted the other party's frank and sincere confession. The youthful throbbing settled down, the timid heartbeat responded, and they stayed together day and night. The few twists and turns never broke up their deep love.
On the eve of graduation, there are the gentlest expectations. The cool young man said that he wanted to be a relaxed makeup artist and spend the rest of his life by his side. Little Sun agreed with a smile and promised softly that he would be his first and only customer in his life.
At that time, the roses were beginning to bloom, and it was midsummer. They thought that every year would bring a better future.
But the peaceful years suddenly collapsed, and separation without warning swept everything. The little sun disappeared out of thin air and there was no news.
He spent all his money and energy, traveled across mountains and seas, traveled to foreign countries, linked up with all parties to search for several years, traveled to every corner, and finally found out the truth. His little Taiyang lost his mother when he was young and was tortured by his alcoholic and violent father for half his life. He has never had real stability and warmth.
The long and fruitless search was compounded by changes in family circumstances, and all the tenderness in the world faded away. He didn't like to deal with others and was depressed, so he was forced to join the industry to make a living and became a funeral makeup artist.
Accompanied by life and death all day long, he lives in silence and no one knows about him. He is guarding a love that has not yet ended, waiting for someone who will never come back.
Until one day, a man smelling of alcohol and looking impatient came to the door and asked him hastily to put makeup on a body and hasten the cremation. His words were full of perfunctory disgust.
The moment the white cloth was lifted, the world suddenly collapsed.
The little sun, which he had been thinking about day and night and searching all over the world, lay quietly in front of him.
The family members were cold and indifferent, abandoning him like worn-out shoes. They bluntly said that there was no need to bother or bury him. After paying the money, they turned around and ran to the wine shop, leaving behind only a cold body and his crushing love.
In front of others, he endured his grief, controlled his emotions, and abided by his professional duties. Where there was no one around, he shed all his hot tears. Years of obsession, concern, fear, and love intertwined into a thorn in Chi's heart.
He hid it from everyone, used what he had learned throughout his life to protect his young man, and placed him under the rose bushes all over the mountains and plains.
The sky is filled with flowers, just like the summer of love in those days.
He stayed alone with his old friend and whispered softly to the silent sea of flowers. You promised to marry me in midsummer.
I first met her in midsummer, fell in love with the roses, stayed with her for several years, and finally fell asleep among the blooming rose bushes.
The chirping of cicadas has ended, the flowering period has withered, and summer has passed in the world, and there is no longer that little sun that belongs to him.
It begins in the hot summer, and finally the roses fade away, a lifetime of deep love, and finally an eternal farewell.
Intention: Love never diminishes, regardless of time difference
