When the parasol flowers bloom, our longing will have no end.
"Will we meet again?"
"Xu Qingming, when the parasol flowers bloom next year, we'll meet again."
"A Yi, the parasol flowers have bloomed again this year. Can we meet now?"
In the depths of winter, a girl in a white dress and coat sat before a tombstone. "The parasol flowers aren't blooming this year."
"Loving someone you know you can't have is like deliberately pressing on an inflamed wisdom tooth, finding inexplicable pleasure in the pain. It's like deliberately running your tongue over a mouth ulcer to feel vividly alive. Maybe it's not you I love, but this inexplicable feeling of tormenting myself." (Keigo Higashino)
A tribute to us ordinary, small yet extraordinary people.
Blurb 2:
There was a girl with no face in the boy's painting. He said he couldn't see her clearly.
He said she looked a little like that girl.
They got together.
He said the wrong thing.
The girl said, "Santorini isn't the only place in Greece."
They broke up.
She wouldn't forgive me.
I killed someone.
In prison,
"I'm sorry. This is the last time we'll meet."
In the end, the girl never knew that a row of tiny letters, "xqm," was hidden in the hair of the girl on the yellowed paper.
Blurb 3:
Summer arrived. The scent of parasol flowers filled the hot, stifling air. The girl had something on her mind, but didn't know whom to tell.
I got into the university he attended.
We became friends.
He said he was willing to be my parasol flower.
We got together.
He said it was just for fun. His friend said I was like his white moonlight.
Give him one month, just one month, to try to earn my forgiveness.
There was nothing I could do. I couldn't make things right again.
We broke up.
I'll never like him again. He made me so sad.
