Prologue: You, whom I gave my youth to.
2025.
He takes one look at her, and all the memories come flooding back.
Her, in the school uniform, those curls laid on her shoulders, her eyes sparkling. Her navy blue skirt that slightly wavered with the wind, her white blouse, carefully folded short sleeves. She was the sunlight's favourite resting spot.
Those days when she smiled, a smile that bloomed evenly, the cause of the warm feelings spreading in his chest. She raised a palm up and made a small wave, a clumsy move that broke her elegant poise, a gap that he endlessly adored.
Even now, wearing a dull office attire, she is still so beautiful. She raises her palm up, and he knows that his heart skipped a beat.
He stares at her with a soft smile, a smile he wears very rarely. Because now, he is, once again, just a sixteen years old boy, looking at the reincarnation of his youth.
After all this time, her place in his heart remains untouched.
The girl whom he gave his youth to.
