It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt.... more>>

It was night, but there was a full moon. And a young girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

〈Hello, Handsome Stranger!〉... more>>

Your voice is 〈A Whisper in the Night〉, your 〈Sweet Fragrance〉 a memory I am unable to forget. You are my good 〈Brother〉, my 〈Study Companion〉, my 〈Safe Haven〉, 〈Heaven‘s Gift〉 to me.

Maybe it was 〈Love at Second Sight〉 that brought us together. 〈The Next Natural Step〉 would be our 〈Two Confessions〉 and to 〈Make It Legal〉 at last. From the 〈First Time〉 we met, to our 〈Anniversary〉 or to our 〈Wedding Night〉, I want to 〈Treasure Every Day〉 with you and tell you 〈Welcome Home〉 when you return in the evening.

〈A Bowl of Rice〉 and 〈Ten Pieces of Gold〉 are the same to me as long as they‘re shared with you. I want to go through the 〈Good Times〉 and the bad times with you. I 〈Dare〉 you to 〈Fight for It〉 if we are ever about to lose hope. It‘s just like an 〈Adventure〉 that the two of us will only be able to pass together.

If you have to 〈Walk Alone〉 for a stretch of this path, then I will be 〈Waiting for You〉 at the finish line whether it‘s for 〈Five Days〉 or 〈Twenty-five Years〉, not caring if we move 〈Into a Palace〉 or live in a 〈Lonely Hut〉. I would only be 〈Brokenhearted〉 if you weren‘t with me at the end.

So please, 〈Promise Yourself to Me〉 because among all the men of this world, I am unable to choose anyone but you.
