If fate is something that brings us together unexpectedly

If distance is what proves the stability of the heart, if time is what will allow us to truly and deeply learn about another person.

The 25 days that we accidentally got to know each other and the 25 days that we were separated are proof that both of our hearts.....will be stable and true to our feelings. Through time and distance....how far have you been?

25 days of me and you

25Days of Us

Day 1

A young woman's thin body sat down on a chair in a park in the center of Seoul, tiredly. As it was getting late at night and the park was about to close, the park was almost empty of people and the lights were bright. Even though the soft orange color shone throughout the garden, it could not compete with the dark light of the night. The last group of people who walked out of the garden could not clearly see the girl's face in the distance, so there were not many people. How much do you care about her?

Minatozaki Sana, a 22-year-old Japanese superstar Korean singer who is becoming very popular with her comeback (

Come back) 

The newest album was released two weeks ago. is the owner of that body

In fact, this time should have been a time to soak in a mineral milk bath in the jacuzzi at her luxury condo after appearing on various TV shows. all day long

But because of a single sentence she overheard while going to the bathroom at the studio where she was recording today. As a result, she felt pain and exhaustion until she had no strength to do anything else.

“You guys don't know that Sana has made it this far. She didn't rise up through the ranks with her abilities like the label is trying to portray. The employees at the label are complaining that it's because of her. Use the breast to climb with the camp owner. Otherwise, would you be able to release 3 albums in one year? Just think about it.”

'Using a breast lift?....I left home at the age of 17 to become a trainee for 4 years and trained hard. Both Korean language, singing, and dancing. Has anyone ever known how much effort I have to put in? But when I became famous, people accused me of using my breasts to climb?

Why do you look down on my abilities like this?'

'Why are you telling me that the employees in the camp are talking and criticizing each other again? Even people at the agency who have seen me since I was a trainee think like that? You'll be too mean.'

Sana felt hopeless and thought about those terrible words all day until she had no intention of doing anything. In the end, she brought her fragile body that had lost all courage and faith in herself to this park, just hoping. Green trees will help absorb some of the trauma in your heart as they absorb carbon dioxide.

Oxides from polluted air?

When you're the only one left So she allowed herself to show her full weakness. that used to be kept to nourish the beautiful pair of eyes gradually They condensed into tears before flowing out in streams and showing no signs of stopping. She buried her face in her palms and began to let out a gasp.

T T

'Oto-san, Oka-san, I miss Oto-san and Oka-san so much.'

I don't know how long she let herself sob until she threw herself like that before she realized it again. That's when I felt a figure sit down in the same chair next to her.

The young singer hurriedly wiped away her tears and scooted away to the far end of her chair. before turning to look at the person next to him who had just collapsed in his seat with paranoia

“Who are you and how did you get here? It's almost time for the park to close. There are plenty of other chairs, so why not sit? What are you doing sitting here?” Even though she was frightened, she still acted kind enough to ask the question. Before secretly sighing when he saw that the figure next to him was a woman. Even though he looked much taller than her.

'At least it's women. If you're thinking of doing something to me, Mom will scratch your face so you'll see!!!!'

“And who are you? Why are you secretly crying alone late at night? It's been like this for a long time now, and it's almost time to close the park. Aren't you afraid that someone will harm you?” A Korean voice with a Chinese accent replied smoothly.

But that woman's words 'for a long time'....does that mean she has secretly seen me crying for a long time?

“You probably aren't Korean. Your accent sounds very Chinese.”

“I am Taiwanese. But I've been interning in Korea for a while now. Did you listen to what I said?” The tall man replied with a strange accent, which made Sana smile for the first time after being depressed all afternoon.

“Listen. Even though the accent is a bit strange, you speak every word correctly. In fact, I'm not Korean. But I've been living in Korea for 4 - 5 years now, so I can speak.” I don't know what made Sana feel so trusting in the person next to her that she initiated the conversation.

“I'm guessing you're Japanese.”

“Eh! You're good at guessing, but why did you guess I was Japanese?”

“You look like a snowman.” At the end of the answer, the person opposite Sana burst out laughing and pointed at herself.

“Does my face look like a snowman?”

“I once knew a Japanese person when I was a child. His face was white and pale, like a snowman. After that, I had an image of Japanese people as snowmen when I saw you for the first time, so I thought you must be Japanese.” The woman explained her reason for assuming that Sana was Japanese.

“By the way, is there something that makes this snowman uncomfortable, causing him to secretly cry here alone?” The tall owner was still interested in Sana's cry a moment ago.

“I....don't know where to start. It's embarrassing to have people see me cry. Japanese people don't usually cry for others to see." Sana lowered her head to hide her sensitive feelings from the people next to her.

“But Chinese people believe that tears give us strength. That is, when we cry, tears wash away our sorrow and pain. When we're done crying, we feel like we have magical powers that make us strong and recover from our sorrow and pain.... Now you probably have that power. You are strong now because you have stopped crying.”

The stranger explains properties of tears that Sana has never heard of before.

She raised her head. Before taking a breath to gather the power to make a decision and finally reveal the feelings in his heart.

“I overheard people talking very badly about me even though I never did anything like they said, so I feel bad that people would think that way about me. Even though I tried to do everything with my own abilities But they accused me of getting everything because....using my body in exchange....

It hurts so much that there are people who think that way about us.” The tears that had been held back suddenly flowed again when talking about the things that were hurting her heart.

“It would be even more surprising if only you were admired by the whole world. Because people don't use the same brain, heart, and feelings. Therefore, different people have different thoughts, different hearts, different actions, and different words,” the tall owner replied.

“I am a Buddhist. Lord Buddha said: 'There is no person who is not gossiped about.' Even you yourself will be criticized and gossiped about. And ordinary people like us Will there be anything left if we take every criticism and gossip into consideration until we cause ourselves pain? It is no different from standing still and having someone stab you again and again with a sword from behind. Therefore

If it were me, I would ignore all the criticism and gossip. Especially gossip that isn't true.”

Sana felt strangely good at the answer she received from the stranger. The weak feeling that had been plaguing her all afternoon suddenly disappeared. With those words, she took in one heavy breath. before raising his hand to make a gesture

fighting 

and thanking strangers

“Thank you. Your words make me feel much better. I'm such a fool for wasting time on other people's words to cause myself such pain. Even though I know very well that this is not true at all.”

The person next to her nodded and smiled gently at her, seeing that he could make her feel better.

“The officials have announced that the park will be closed. Let's go back." Sana invited the people next to her when she heard the officials making announcements along the line preparing to close the park.

As they stood up together, Sana realized that the person next to her was much taller than her, probably around 175 cm. because even though she was 168 cm tall, her head was still at his shoulder level.

'What kind of person is tall like a lamp post?'

Sana and the tall man walked quietly. Arriving at the parking lot in front of the park, the soft white lights in the parking area made it possible for the pair to see each other clearly.

The young singer looked at the tall man in front of her and felt like her heart was forced to work hard as soon as her eyes met those big round eyes, the dimples on her left cheek when she smiled, and the small jagged lines. The middle of the chin makes the face even more charming and attractive.

Meanwhile, the other party stood still as if hypnotized when they saw that the snowman in front of them had a sweet face like a dream girl who had come out of a dream for him to admire. Long brown hair flows down her oval face. A pair of beautiful eyes matched with arched eyebrows and a high nose that was raised up to make the thin, wavy pink lips look beautiful.

Combined with the white, smooth skin, which had a brighter aura than the fluorescent light from the lightbulb at this time, the wide-eyed person who was staring at the young singer secretly let out a soft breath. To help the left breast reduce the symptoms of severe compression.

“Arrived at the parking lot. So I'd like to come back first. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your advice,” Sana finally said, bowing her head to thank the stranger once again.

"It's okay. I'm willing and pleased to meet you......."

Sana almost told her real name, but a thought suddenly entered her mind.

“If you give me a name. How do you set it up?”

“Huh, that's your name? Hmmmm....it should be the name Maybe 'Xue Ren'? It's Chinese and means 'snowman'. It suits you well."

“So...you called me that. 'Xue Ren', and I'll call you 'Denchu', which is Japanese for 'light pole'."

Her 'light pole' laughed until her eyes closed as she suddenly had a new name in Japanese.

“So, this is it. I hope you drive back safely. Ms. Xue Ren, goodbye.” The tall person bowed his head slightly to say goodbye to her snowman, even though she felt a pity that they didn't get to know each other better.

“Goodbye, Mr. Denchu,” Sana smiled at the stranger she had just given a cruel name. Before walking to the car, the young singer still felt like there was something stuck in her heart, so she turned back to the tall man who was still standing there looking at her.

“Will you come here again tomorrow?”

The person in question raised his head and smiled happily. before answering

“If you count today I have 25 days of internship left. I will come here after work every day until my internship is finished.”

"See you later, Denshu-san."

A beautiful sedan turned out of the park. But Zhou Ziwi's heart still didn't seem to beat normally. The tall woman could only smile and walk, holding her left breast. It looked like the lump inside was so happy that she was almost jumping out of her body. Come outside, she walked along the way to take the subway back to her hotel with her heart soaring.

Day 2  

“Today you look much brighter than yesterday. Miss Xue Ren,” a familiar voice sounded from the side. Sana immediately turned to look at the source of the voice.

Her lamppost sat down next to her and held out something in the still warm box. And it smelled delicious to her. When she unwrapped it, she saw that it was the Japanese snack 'Takoyaki', which is also her favorite snack.

"Thank you. How did you know I like takoyaki?"

“It's my favorite dessert. I see that this one makes delicious food. So I want you to try it. I just think it might make you miss your hometown a little. I don't think you'll like it either." The person who bought the snacks told me the reason.

'You're making my heart flutter, lamppost.'

“Did you know that? Takoyaki originated from my hometown, Osaka. And eating takoyaki made me really miss my home. Your sense is very good, Denshu-san,” Sana complimented the person next to her while happily dunking on a takoyaki snack. Meanwhile, the person next to him smiled and looked at the sweet-faced person who was chewing sweets until his cheeks were puffy.

'At least Takoyaki made me realize that You're from Osaka'

Day 3 

“Sorry, I'm here a little late. Today I have a rehearsal for an important event that will be held next week, so I have to prepare as best I can. You've been waiting for a long time?” Sana greeted her by the lamppost after sitting down on the nearby bench, breathing heavily.

“It's been a while. Are you running here? Why are you panting like this?” the tall man asked when he saw the condition of the person next to him.

“Uh, I see the park is about to close. And you might wait for me for a long time, I'm afraid. So I ran in.”

“I can always wait for you. ‘Xue Ren’ ”

There was silence between the two of them after the tall man finished speaking until he felt that the listener might not like it. So I invite you to talk about other things.

“You said there was rehearsal for an important event. You must be very tired.”

“I'm used to it. What can I do? It's my job, even though sometimes I'm so tired that I give up. But in the end, I had to grit my teeth and succeed.”

“You are a very patient person. I encourage you to overcome your obstacles and succeed in everything you do.”

“Thank you, Denchu-san.”

Sana's fatigue from training slowly faded. You relax when you listen to the simple words that don't need to be decorated by the person next to you.....What is it that makes you feel like that? You can only ask yourself quietly in your heart alone.

Day 4 

“From tomorrow I won't be here for another week. I have to prepare a lot of things. For example, before going to a big event over the weekend on Jeju Island. You don't have to wait for me, I'll come back again next Monday.” Sana informed the tall person next to her but didn't tell them exactly what the big event was.

Her big concert, which she will have to devote fully to rehearsing and performing this time. So he couldn't come and meet the person next to him. for several more days

'Why do I have to report a stranger?'

“May your work be as good as you expected. I'm rooting for you.

fighting!!! 

Yes.” Sana's lamppost greeted and raised her fist in a gesture.

fighting 

give it to her

“Have you ever wanted to know? Who am I? What do you do and why haven't I given you any contact information?” Sana suddenly asked.

“I think people have a place to stand in an area where they are comfortable. No matter who you are What is your occupation? Can I contact you? The best person to answer is you. My job is not to ask questions, but to listen when you are uncomfortable. and answer questions when you need an answer separately.”

Sana's heart was filled with joy from her debut until she became a famous singer. She is the one who has to answer questions from the media that have been probing, scratching, and digging into her personal life as well as fans who want to be a part of her life. Many times she felt uncomfortable and wanted to escape.

But the person sitting next to her right now had never been interested in her personal life. Never questioned her, never even criticized her for making her wait so long on many occasions.

'What kind of person are you really, Denshu-san?'

Day 5

After the dress rehearsal was over, Sana wanted to know something. She left her car at the company and immediately took a taxi to the park.

The gardener announced that the garden would be closed in 10 minutes. Sana quickly ran through the garden and towards the chair she had been sitting on when she was close. She slowly hid behind the bushes, looking for someone.

The person Sana was looking for was still sitting in the same position he sat in yesterday. Only today, that sweet face has additional eyeglasses. Makes it look strange But I admit that the vintage eyeglasses she wore made her look like a doctor in a Korean drama. She was holding a large sheet of paper and was using a pencil.

Write something with excitement. But Sana couldn't quite see what it was.

Day 6 – 10

Zhou Ziwi still went to the park after her internship time even though the person she was waiting for didn't come there as he had told her for nearly a week.

Day 11 

Zhou Ziwi still remained determined. Write something on the fine paper you prepared. And when today Her creation is finished and ready to be passed on to the person she intended to give it to.

She scribbled English letters in the right corner of her work. together with the date of supervision

In a corner of the park She didn't know that the person she was thinking of was standing in the distance watching her. with confused eyes

'You still come here every day, exactly like you said. By this, what exactly do you think of me, Denshu-san?'

Day 12

“Wait a long time?”

A familiar bright voice sounded and the tall man who was paying attention to the small book in his hand closed it. He took off his glasses and smiled at the owner of the voice.

“It hasn't been long, just today the boss is working on a special occasion. I just finished it this evening. Is your work in order?"

“Are you nearsighted? And if you take off your glasses like this, will you be able to see?” Sana is still more interested in the eyeglasses that tall people take off than the questions that are being asked.

“Reasonably short. But I usually only wear glasses when reading or doing anything that requires a lot of vision. If I don't have to, I rarely wear them. I feel like when I wear glasses, my face looks old."

“I don't see anything getting old here. I think they'll look good and look like schoolchildren. Your personality when wearing glasses is charming. It's worth searching for in another way." Suddenly Sana felt a strange heat on her face when she realized that she had missed out on complimenting the person in front of her. So she corrected her embarrassment by answering the tall man's question. Unbeknownst to him, the person being complimented was also blushing brightly.

“Uh....my work is....well done. It's more successful than expected. You don't have to wait 7 days to see me after work. You'll probably have time to rest completely." Sana asked casually, even though she knew that for the past 7 days, this girl would come. Sitting here waiting for you every day

'Women, we have to know how to manage our charm, right??'

“Actually....I still come here like every other time. One day, even though I know you won't be here. But I have something I want to do for you.”

She picked up a poster-sized picture frame in a large paper bag and smiled at the painting in the frame once. before handing it to the person in front of you

Sana was silent when she saw the picture in the picture frame. Until the person giving it feels like they've lost confidence.

“You don't like it?”

“No, but....this picture is very beautiful. So I was a bit stunned. Did you draw it yourself, Denshu?”

“Yes, I took the time when we weren't seeing each other to draw it for you. It is a drawing from my imagination.”

Sana looked down at the picture frame again, delighted. Throughout her time as a superstar singer, she has received many gifts from her fans, although she is always happy when people take her seriously. But never had she felt better about a gift from a stranger who didn't know her true status like this time.

Inside the dark brown wooden frame was a pencil drawing of a beautiful face of a woman in a traditional kimono. His head was decorated with exquisite ornaments and flowers, and his face smiled slightly. As is typical of Japanese girls, the eyes of the person in the picture are so sweet and sweet, as if she is conveying all the feelings of her heart to the person who owns her heart through her beautiful eyes.

The beautiful face in that picture....the face of 'Minatosaki Sana'

Sana's heart fluttered as she thought about how much imagination and skill the person who drew this picture had to draw her in such a beautiful and mesmerizing way.

In the right corner of the painting there are English letters with the date the artist completed the painting.

   ‘From yourDenchuu’

Day 13                   

Sana walked to sit on the same chair in the park, but today she still didn't see the tall man who sat next to her yesterday. When she looked at the seat that used to belong to that person She saw a small bouquet of flowers. Wrapped in brown paper and tied with a simple hemp rope, inside the paper package were some clean white cutter flowers with yellow stamens. Sana picked up the bouquet of flowers and considered it, looking for the possible owner of it.

'It's been a long time since I've ever stopped to admire the beauty of flowers.'

“Are you looking for me?” The person in the singer's mind walked out from behind the bushes.

“Looking for the person who might be the owner of this bouquet,” Sana corrected his shyness and put the bouquet down in its original place.

“Then it means you're looking for me,” the tall man replied before walking around behind Sana and sitting down in the same chair.

“I give it to you.” The owner of the bouquet handed a small bouquet of flowers to the sweet-faced person sitting next to him.

“Why did you give me cutter flowers?” the person receiving the bouquet asked as if he didn't know the meaning of the flowers he received.

“Tonight, you can try looking up its meaning on the internet.” The owner of the bouquet kept the meaning of the small flowers hidden. Those are for people to receive and find the meaning by themselves.

“You have a lot of secrets.” The owner of the sweet face couldn't help but criticize someone for having secrets.

“Oh, I can't come see you tomorrow. Just happened to have a bit of special work at work. If you come here again after this We will probably meet the day after tomorrow.” Sana teased even though she knew that the person next to her Come sit and wait for her every day.

‘You really are not that bad, Xue Ren.’ Zhou Ziwi just sat there smiling quietly like someone who is not good at talking.

A slender hand searched for the meaning of 'Cutter flower' on the internet immediately after returning to the luxury condo

'Cutter flowers are flowers that are commonly used in bouquets to decorate the back or side with beautiful, large bouquets of brightly colored flowers. Compete to put beauty in front The beauty of this type of flower is that It is a generous flower. Even though I myself am not outstanding or beautiful.

But it can make other people look more beautiful. The deep meaning therefore means Even though you don't look at me But I always have you....'

'You're making my heart flutter again, Denshu-san.'

Day 14

Waiting may be a torment for many people, but for Zhou Ziwi, waiting is the beginning of meeting. Today, she still came to the park and counted the seconds to pass. In order to meet that person the next day

Day 15

Winter in Korea is very cold. Sana slowly tightened her long coat made of fine fabric as she sped towards the park. Today, she chose to camouflage herself with just one sponsored cap because it was past 9:00 p.m. and no one would notice that it was her.

Even so, she often turned to look behind her when there was a sound like footsteps following her. But still haven't seen anything unusual. Except for the people who were gradually walking out of the garden some distance away from her.

“You're so diligent,” she greeted as she sat down next to a tall man who was reading a book in Chinese. He quickly closed the book and put it in his bag. before turning to smile at the person beside him As gentle as ever It's different that today she didn't take off her glasses and put them in her bag like every other day.

......'Well, you said I look good when I wear glasses'.......

“You look really refreshed today, Xue Ren,” Light Pillar complimented her snowman.

“Eh!....So? It's probably because I just received good news yesterday,” Sana replied with a smile.

“Good news about your work, right?”

"You're really good at guessing, Denshu. How did you know that this was good news about my job?"

“Because since I've known you I feel that you are a person who is very attentive and dedicated to your work, so if there is something that will be good news for you. It must definitely be a work matter.”

How many times has a stranger next to you both impressed and surprised Sana? Although she didn't tell this person much, he seemed interested and knew her quite well, which made Sana feel afraid.

'I'm afraid I'll be very shaken by this stranger.'

“Is something bothering you? I often see you turning around to look behind you,” the tall man asked when he saw the frequent glances behind the person next to him.

“No, I just feel like someone is following me....but I probably just thought about it....but you guessed correctly. That good news is about my work.” Sana paused for a moment before speaking when she saw that the person beside her listening intently

“Well, I just received an award for my work. This is the first award from my work that I am very proud of. And I didn't come here yesterday. It's because I have to go receive an award.” After saying that, he smiled widely and proudly.

'My 2017 Best New Singer Award'

“I would like to congratulate you on the award. You deserve it, you know, because you are one of the most dedicated people I have ever met. Ren,” the person who spoke reached out a long hand and squeezed Sana's hand to congratulate her. The person who just received the award smiled with pride at the award he received before using his other hand to hold the tall man's slender hand to express his gratitude.

As soon as two pairs of eyes met and smiles The tall man who had just realized it slowly I pulled my hand away from the soft hand, fearing that I would take advantage. The owner of the soft hand pulled his own hand and gently rubbed it against the sleeve of his coat to relieve his embarrassment. Before bowing her head to avoid the eyes of the person next to her, which is her signature position when she is shy.

Day 16 

“I feel really tired today, Denshu-san,” Sana said after sitting down next to the tall man for a moment.

“If you have anything you want to vent to me. I'd be happy to listen in case it helps you relax a little,” the tall man offered.

“There's nothing. I'm just stressed from my heavy work schedule. I want to close my eyes and lie still for a long time,” the singer said in a tired voice.

“If my shoulder is enough to help you relax a bit and you trust me enough. I would be happy to be a shelter for you to recover from, Xue Ren.” After saying that, the tall man moved towards him. But still leave some space for the person next to you to decide.

Sana closed her eyes, which had tears welling up in them, and slowly leaned down to rest comfortably on the tall man's broad shoulders.

'How many times have you made me feel this good, Denshu-san?'

white fluff gradually falling from the sky before multiplying in numbers The cold weather in Seoul late at night caused the snow to fall harder and harder. A tall person picked up the umbrella she had with her and opened it to prevent the snow from falling on herself and the sweet-faced person who was sleeping with her eyes closed and relaxed. She could only sit. Quiet And she smiled happily and let the person next to her sleep on her shoulder to rest fully until the park closed.

Day 17 – 18

'Where have you been these two days, Xue Ren?'

Zhou Ziyu mentally muttered to himself when he saw that two days ago, the people who had been sitting next to each other in the park had suddenly disappeared without a word. Wrong from every time in the past

She walked out of the park when it was time for the park to close. Then walk to the subway to return to the accommodation as usual. But today, the tall owner walked back feeling disappointed, unlike every time before. So she stopped at a convenience store before reaching the train station to buy a few things to relieve her boredom.

'So satisfying to shake the garden. Superstar singer, young lady In fact, they like the same forest trees...read on page 8'

'Suan Suan Sayew has revealed the appearance of the beautiful girl who holds the heart of a young superstar singer.' “Sana-chan”...read on page 11'

'"Minatosaki Sana", a female singer, is notorious for flirting with her female partner in the middle of a park in front of hundreds of people'...Read more in the book'

Tzuyu was taken aback when she saw the headlines of almost every newspaper and entertainment gossip that had secretly taken photos of her with a woman several days ago in various poses. That woman.... someone whose real name she never even knew.

'Minatosaki Sana', Korean female superstar singer

The tall person slowly reached out with a trembling hand and picked up a newspaper and read the details of the news. She felt her brain tingle as soon as she read the harsh and exaggerated content of the news. But that was not as good as the pain in my left breast. Knowing the true status of the person she had wanted to know for more than two weeks.

Tzuyu considered every detail of the news and the girl's pictures. Someone you're familiar with But it's like I've never known you. Then slowly put it down

She raised her head to hold back tears from flowing out in public and felt the pain inside the creature called 'heart'.

'It's because of this. That's why you don't want me to know your real name.'

Tzuyu pulled her hat down to cover her face when she noticed that people waiting to board the subway were starting to look at her and act like they were arguing about whether or not she was in the photo with the singer.

'Minatosaki Sana, a superstar singer' who is currently being scandalized for flirting with her girlfriend in the garden. The public in central Seoul is preparing to hold a press conference the day after tomorrow at 7:00 PM at the camp.

JPY 

Agency....'

Tzuyu turned to look at the television screen at the subway station, which was showing news of a female singer preparing to make a scandalous press conference that was being headlined by various newspapers. In the next two days In one part of the news, she saw the tired eyes of the woman who had been lying on her shoulder several days before, the source of those scandalous news stories, as she walked away from the reporters chasing her to interview her.

The tall man felt an overwhelming pain in his heart.

Day 19 

Zhou Ziwi felt like she had disappeared from the bright world and woke up in a dark world where she could not see any light. Except for the white mist from the tears that covered her beautiful eyes as if they would never disappear.

'This feeling....why does it hurt so much?'

Day 20

“The woman with me that everyone saw on the news was....” Sana was speechless until the reporter began shouting pressure.

"Who are you?....Please answer clearly...."

“It's my friend. We met at the park on a day when I wasn't feeling well. And he gave me very good advice. But because he was a foreigner and didn't know who I was. I chose to conceal my status because I wanted to have friends who saw me as a normal person who wasn't 'Minatosaki Sana'.”

“But you guys went out to meet each other many times. It shows that there was a meeting and why does it have to be at a public park every time it's late at night?" The reporter continued to ask.

“I never gave him my contact information, so there's definitely no meeting up. I just know that he likes to go to that park after work, and lately I've been tired from promoting my album, so my schedule ended. It was late at night. So I stopped by there to relax a bit so I got to see him often.

And we talked more and more.”

“So, is there a chance for you and him to develop your relationship beyond friends?” a female reporter asked.

Sana was taken aback for a moment by that question. before sighing and lowering his head to answer the question in a soft voice

“There's definitely no chance. As I've told everyone, I never gave him my contact information. That should confirm that I want my relationship with him to be just that of good friends. and when he returned to his country We probably won't communicate with each other anymore.”

There was a hum from the reporter after listening to the singer's answer. Sana raised her head and looked around the news conference room, before catching sight of a tall woman in the back of the room who, despite the black cap covering her face, she still recognized who she was.

'Denchu-san, I'm sorry.'

She apologized to the tall man in her heart through pained eyes, even though she didn't want to answer the reporter's question like that. But with the status of a famous singer supporting her neck and Korean society still not being very open about same-sex attraction. causing the agency to order her to firmly refuse But that was before she saw that the tall man was sitting here.

Sana swallowed a lump in her throat and abruptly ended the press conference and prepared to walk out of the press conference room immediately. Even his own manager was confused by the singer's condition.

Reporters who were dissatisfied with the ending of the singer's press conference gathered around her to pressure Sana to continue answering questions.

“What is that person's name?”

“What nationality is he?”

“How close are you to him?”

“For Sana-chan to end the press conference so stubbornly, it means that there really is more to it than what was said just now, right?”

“Please answer clearly.”

"Stop bothering Mr. Minatozaki." A curt voice interrupted the reporter's questioning, catching everyone's attention.

The owner of the voice walked past the reporter and approached the female singer before using his body to cover her thin body and turning to face the reporter instead.

When she took off her hat, everyone saw that she was the same person in the photo that was in the news with Sana-chan. The reporters then focused all their attention on her. The camera flash fires loudly to capture the perfect moment.

The tall owner didn't care about those reporters' thirst for news. She raised her hand and adjusted her spectacles slightly. before speaking in a decisive tone loud enough for all the reporters to hear.

“My name is Zhou Ziyu, and I am a law student at National Taiwan University. Currently interning at the Korean Prosecutor's Office. I confirm that everything is as it is. Mr. Minatozaki All of the statements made a moment ago....even the names of Mr. Minatozaki....I just found out today.

Because she never gave me any information in the two weeks we've known each other.”

There was so much resentment in those words that Sana could even feel her name. The person in front of me still hadn't called my name directly. But instead, I called my last name. To express her distance from her in a press release.

She wanted to embrace the person in front of her and say 'sorry' a thousand times, ten thousand times to get him to forgive her, but she knew that it wasn't all that simple.

“And the fact that you guys secretly filmed Mr. Minatozaki in his private time in order to write bad news about it. Even though everything was not true with the actions that you guys were doing to her just now. What an act that is completely devoid of media ethics. Legally it is called 'Defamation and harassment'

which the person can sue and prosecute.”

“And if you guys still don't stop those actions, it is 'friends' like me who will write a complaint against Mr. Minatozaki, suing each of you individually as well as your publisher and agency. I guarantee that you will pay for Mr. Minatozaki's losses with bankruptcy.”

The tall man clenched his hands tightly as he spoke the principles of the law in a serious tone that Sana had never seen before. The young singer looked at his high back, grateful that he was still protecting her, even though she knew full well how much the person who was protecting her must be hurt by her words just now.

All the reporters looked at each other when they saw the serious expression of the person in front of them. Each person began to feel bad. So they slowly withdrew, two at a time. Until finally, only Sana Ziwi was left. and the singer's personal manager

“You're safe. I'll go first,” Tzuyu said harshly to the female singer without even turning her head to look.

“Wait, wait for me.” Sana hurriedly ran after the tall man. But it seemed like the person in front of him had picked up his pace even faster without hesitating to listen to her at all.

Seeing that there was no point in running after her at this time because her lamp post would probably be quite angry at her. Sana could only shout after him.

“Tomorrow I will wait for you in the same chair. Even if you don't leave, I will wait for you until the garden closes. And I will wait for you every day. Until I meet you, I'm sorry. Can you hear me? Denshu-san, I want to apologize to you.”

The singer collapsed and cried pitifully. What had she done? Why did the indifference of a stranger whose name she had just gotten to know make her heart ache so much?

'Zhou Ziwi...I'm sorry.'

Day 21 – 23

Sana went to sit and wait for Tzuyu after her schedule ended. And even though she waited until the garden closed The person she wanted to see again before parting didn't even appear for her to see. She could only serve herself for doing something stupid. Down until that action hurt the heart of the person she....cared for the most. And it has come back to hurt herself at this time.

She walked out of the garden quietly. Unable to see the pained eyes that were secretly looking at her with concern from a distant corner in the garden.

'I'm sorry I can't go see you right now. I'm not ready to hear the truth from you, Miss Sana.'

Day 24

Sana still came to wait for the person she wanted to meet at the same time. Until half an hour before the park closes

"Nong Sao, come and sit quietly like this. Is there something I can help you with?" His voice was strange. The man in front of him's incorrect Korean language made Sana look up from her mobile phone screen with a shocked expression. She made to move away if the man grabbed her arm. and started talking and molesting her

“Don't be stubborn. This is very stupid. I don't know anyone around here if you don't want to get a ticket. Come do something fun. It's better than that."

“Let me go or I'll shout for help,” Sana argued in an extremely frightened tone.

“ ^ and ^$)_@ and ^%*@_” The man began speaking in a language that Sana did not understand and pulled out a small pocket knife from his waist to threaten the female singer when she saw her resistance. His thin body stared at the woman with lecherous eyes. Sana felt warm tears. that flowed down both cheeks with fear

“Release that woman now,” came a familiar voice from behind the bushes. The singer closed her eyes and chased away the last tears from her eyes. With a sigh of relief, there was a mixture of surprise and joy.

A tall, smartly dressed woman walked out of the bushes with a calm expression. The thin man who grabbed Sana's wrist froze for a moment but continued to hold her small wrist tightly.

"Who are you? It's better not to interfere in the affairs of your husband and wife. You'll say that you're handsome and don't be fooled."

'I'll tell you that I'm not fake handsome....damn, these are clearly Chinese words and accents'

Tzuyu was able to pick up on the man's accent so she made up her mind with a Chinese sentence. which she was sure the young woman in the hands of the skinny thief definitely couldn't hear. 'But even if I listen, I don't see what's wrong.'

“Brother, how can this woman be your brother's wife? Because you... are my girlfriend. We were arguing, so she came here to reconcile with me. If my brother will sympathize with the two of us Brother, please release my girlfriend. It's a Chinese person's request.” The thin man looked startled when he heard his native language describing the status of the two handsome women.

“Let's not lie. How can a girl and a girl be lovers?” he replied in Chinese.

“Why not? When it was already And let me warn you first that I'm a black belt in Taekwondo with this knife. You can't do anything to me.” The man's face turned pale when he heard the threat. But he still acted kindly and fought the tiger by pulling the female singer's arm closer to using her as a hostage.

“You'd better not, brother. As this woman's boyfriend, you know that if you move the knife even slightly towards my boyfriend, a 175-foot-tall Taekwondo black belt, I can jump and kick you in the neck, knocking him unconscious immediately. Do you want to try it?" After saying that, the tall man made a junbi gesture. which is the starting position of Taekwondo with a snarling sound. The skinny thief saw the bad posture and quickly let go of the female singer's hand and ran away quickly.

Sana collapsed on the grass as soon as she was freed. The tall man hurried to support him with concern, forgetting that he was still angry.

"How are you? Can you stand up? You must be very shocked." The person being held up had tears welling up in their eyes again.

'This is why you're angry at me. You still left all your pride to help me! Denshu-san, I'm such a fool for not treating you kindly.'

“I'm fine. Thank you very much for helping me. Otherwise, I'll definitely be in trouble.” Sana bowed her head to Tzuyu as a sincere thank you.

"nevermind We are already friends Friends have to help friends.” Why doesn't Sana feel that the person in front of her hasn't gotten over her anger when that girl still emphasizes with the word 'friend' in every sentence?

“Denshu-san, I have something to apologize to you for. Even though it's too late and you'll never forgive me But I would like to ask you to listen to my reasoning for once.”

"...................." when there was no answer from the person next to him. Sana took the opportunity to continue speaking.

“As you already know, I am a famous Korean singer. I want to tell you that I never thought of hiding from you. I just want someone to know me as a normal person. Or a simple snowman or Xue Ren. Only one of him Not Minatozakisana, the famous singer.

Because whenever people know me as Minatozaki Sana, they only want benefits from me. Even though in front of him he was nice to me, behind his back it was all about profit and gossip.”

“Do you know how lonely it is to live in the world of illusion alone at the age of 17 with no one to care about you? Always listening or taking care of us and encouraging us sincerely. Until I met you, I was afraid that you would treat me like those people did.

That's why I chose not to tell you the truth. And I had to say that on the day of the press conference because I had a contract with the label. Therefore, I had to protect his interests and not say or do things that would have an impact on him.... Even though sometimes things Even if it doesn't suit me."

“I know how terrible and hurt you feel. I'm no different from you. And I couldn't come out to see you when I disappeared for 2 days because after the day I slept on your shoulder. There was a lot of gossip in the media, so the company confined me to the condo for fear that I would come find you and be secretly filmed again.

Even though I begged to come out and send some news to you, the company refused. And on the day of the press conference, the agency was the one who arranged to write all the scripts for me to answer to the reporters in order to make everything come out as beneficial to the agency as possible, and that's exactly what you heard.”

“I have said everything. If you are still angry or hate me to the point where you cannot forgive me. I'm ready to understand and won't say anything to you. But I want to thank you for once stepping into my life and making me feel. I'm just an ordinary woman. A very lucky person, I will remember all of your actions....Oops!!!....”

The gentle touch of the person in front of him's warm lips touched Sana's thin lips before he could finish speaking. The owner of those warm lips slowly spread warmth across her lips. Sana closed her eyes in shock before slowly relaxing to the weight of the sweet kiss she was giving her.

Tzuyu moved closer to the female singer and gently held her beautiful face with both hands, as if afraid that it would be damaged in his hands. The two pairs of beautiful lips took turns tasting each other's sweetness without warning. that he would be tired of the two soft tongues teasing each other back and forth At times, one side pretended to be defeated, but a moment later, it turned into an attack. Until the other party had to submit to Sana's two hands caressing the wide back of the person who was giving her a sweet kiss.

Even though she wanted time to stop there forever, Sana knew that she couldn't do what she wanted. She slowly withdrew her lips from the sweet kiss and lowered her hands from the back of the person who protected her over and over again and bowed her head in embarrassment after losing her first kiss to the person in front of her unexpectedly.

Tzuyu herself was unable to get any words out of her mouth. The wall of regret and resentment was completely torn down. Just seeing that the gentle person in front of her had been waiting for her for three days made her forget all the bad things. That had happened completely and was ready to forgive the young singer from the first day of sitting and waiting for her.

Day 25 

“Today is my last day of internship. Tomorrow I have to go back to Taiwan...." Tzuyu paused for so long that Sana had to ask.

"yes???"

“Uh....Well, I don't know what our relationship will be like.” The audience could only be stunned. Sana's heart was equally confused.

Tzuyu understood that feeling well. You yourself, no matter how good you feel with the person in front of you But their real worlds are very different. Tomorrow, she must return to her real world in Taiwan, while the sweet face sitting next to her will return to the world of illusion that she cannot reach. To meet or continue a relationship beyond this is difficult and unable to see the way, as if both of them are walking in a dark tunnel with no light. At the end of the tunnel

“I....don't know what to say,” Sana finally said in a soft voice.

“The 25 days we've known each other have been some of the most special times of my life. If I had a time stopper, I would like to use it to stop our time here forever....but....in reality..." was all the singer could say, the damn tears were fading. will flow from a heart that is aching

“I understand you. I feel the same as you. Just thinking that from tomorrow onwards I won't be here to wait for that person. The person who made my last 25 days so memorable. My heart is so weak that I can't do anything.”

“It's such a painful thing to say goodbye. But moving forward is so dark and we can't see the way. My mind is very confused and frightened, Xue Ren.”

The listeners who felt the same way were unable to hold back their tears. She let the water run clear. Flowing from two beautiful eyes To hope that after the last tear she will feel stronger. It was like the feeling on the first day when the person next to her used to comfort her from her weakness, but the damn tears didn't seem to stop flowing until the tall man moved closer and embraced her with wide arms and using his fingers. Slender carefully wiped the tears from her smooth cheeks.

Sana buried her face in Tzuyu's broad chest as she was embraced by the warm embrace of the person next to her.

I don't know how long the two hearts talked quietly amidst the lonely atmosphere. In this park Tzuyu finally spoke up when she heard the staff announce that the park would close in 10 minutes.

“From now on I will not rush or impose any restrictions on our matters. I will ask that everything be 'Fate and heart' that will lead the two of us in the right direction What do you say, Xue Ren?”

“I agree that in some matters, if we rush too fast, it may cause more harm than good. Letting time tell how we both feel about each other should we move forward or move backward. It is probably the most correct thing. Because in the real world, both you and I have different paths. You yourself have a long future in the legal path. Therefore

I won't be selfish by holding you back just because we feel good about each other.” Sana moved away from her wide chest and sat in her normal position. Before conveying every word from the heart....a heart that views everything with the truth and is not selfish with its own feelings alone.

Tzuyu held the female singer's hand and looked into the beautiful pair's eyes for a long time. It was as if he wanted to convey all the feelings in his heart to the person in front of him to keep forever. She slowly said a word in a soft voice, as if she didn't have the strength to say it.

“No matter what our future holds. Can you promise me that you will never forget the past 25 days? Please allow me to be a part of your memories....even just for a fraction of a second. Is that okay?”

“I promise to always remember our story no matter what fate decides on us in the future. But please know that I, this person, will always be cheering you on from afar. If any day you are tired, please look at the snowman. It can make you tired, and if one day I'm feeling discouraged, I'll look for a 'tall lamp post'.

To encourage myself as well, Denshu-san.” Sana made a promise that made the tall man smile.

Both of them have firmly decided to let 'Fate' chart the path in the future to lead 'Two Hearts' to travel steadily. Even though today it is painful to be apart, I would like to give both of you time to be confident in your feelings for each other in the future in order to meet again if both hearts still have the same feelings that have not changed.

“One last thing I want to ask of you. I mean, can I ask that you don't have to take me to the airport tomorrow? I don't want to be weak if I have to see you before we leave. May today be the last memory we meet here like the first time we met. It would be hard to make up your mind to walk away if you saw your face before boarding the plane.

Don't let us worry about each other when we really have to leave, okay? Sana-chan." Tzuyu said her last request before parting. Even though it looks mean If she spoke the truth, just thinking about having to walk away from the fragile person next to her until she was out of sight, her heart ached so much that she could barely stand.

Sana understood that feeling well. Even though she herself wanted to see the face of the person she felt for one last time before parting, her feelings afterward would be so painful that she might not be able to accept it. Therefore, we have to let today be the last day that we will see each other.

Tzuyu pressed her thin lips to the singer's forehead and used both hands to hug her thin figure. As if not letting the person in front of him slip away, while the person in his arms was hugging the tall figure with a heart that was equally aching.

30 days later….

Sana hurriedly opened the package as soon as she got back to the condo despite the many packages from fans. But this envelope was different from the others just by looking at the sender's name and address. She immediately knew that the envelope was definitely 'special' than other envelopes.

                   ‘Your Denchuu / Tainan Taiwan’

Inside the envelope was a diary and a short letter that the author had carefully written in Korean on fine paper. The sweet scent of expensive paper wafted into the singer's nose as she slowly opened the letter and read it.

“To Miss Xue Ren.

As I write this letter to you It's the 25th anniversary of the day we parted. And it's the 50th anniversary of the day we first met. I have a special present that I would like to give you. The diary I sent with this letter It was a diary in which I recorded all my feelings over the 25 days that we met....

I hope you like it.

One thing I have to let you know is that I spent the 25 days that we were apart. which is the same time that we met to consult with My 'destiny and heart' have already told me how to deal with the feelings I still have for you. Both my 'destiny and my heart' say the same thing, '

If we put our hearts in someone else, then let's go all the way. Don't worry about what's yet to come because it might cause you to lose precious moments forever.'

So I couldn't wait to tell you this news. And the only way I can contact you is by letter, so I hurriedly wrote to you at the record label address on the back cover of Minatozakisana's latest CD album. In case Mr. Minatozaki knows your place. and forward this letter to you(

I haven't told you yet. I have become a fan of Mr. Minatozakisana. Already gone)

If you receive the letter and your heart still beats to the same rhythm as when we met Please call 866 6234 5566 to find another heart that still beats that rhythm every second. But if your heart has changed, I hope this letter won't bother you.

'From this moment on I always keep my phone nearby.'

                   YourDenchuu

‘Are all lawyers good at words like this?’ Sana smiled as she finished reading the letter. She flipped through the brown diary in her hand. And carefully used a slender hand to trace the letters engraved on the cover of the diary made of good quality leather. The letters engraved with the words....

 ‘25 Days of Us’ 

She promised the diary that she would open and read it as soon as she had the chance....but now was the time for her to call and deal with the sassy owner of this diary first....

The singer immediately reached for her mobile phone and dialed an international number at the number specified in the letter.

'My heart still beats at the same rhythm it always did when I met you, Denshu-san.'
