The complete novel is now available for free! Happy New Year 2013!

June: Their first meeting. Her dark, deep eyes were breathtakingly beautiful, yet held so much pain.

July: Because of how much her personality resembled his, he took in the mysterious girl.

September: Faced with someone else's grand confession, she smiled and said, "I can't. It has to be him." She thought that of the hundred steps between them, as long as she took the first one, he would take the remaining ninety-nine.

October: Their first kiss beneath a sky full of shooting stars was quiet and beautiful. Yet her fragile emotional defenses crumbled in an instant at those two words.

As expected, she had been too greedy. She had used up a lifetime's worth of happiness. But what belonged to her would never escape, no matter what.

If it's love, how could there be a substitute? When happiness brushed past my fingertips, I reached out to grasp it. The instant we touched, a dazzling brilliance bloomed, bright enough to outshine the city. That was the happiness of flowers in bloom.
