When she was in middle school, she and he agreed to meet at the breakfast store at the end of the alley every morning at 7:00. She was always right on time, sitting in the innermost seat and ordering two doughnuts.After 7:10, he appeared in the somewhat chilly sunlight, dragging his black book bag. A lazy expression. Toothpaste froth that hadn't been wiped off was sometimes faintly visible on his face. She would see him and say, "You're late again. Then he sits down and starts eating breakfast. She puts his dirty book bag on her lap. She tore the thick doughnuts into thin strips and gave them to him to drink with the hot soy milk.

The day of their high school graduation, they went to a bridal store. She pointed to a wedding dress and said to him that she liked it so much. He looked at the wedding dress, it wasn't white, it was dark blue. The blue color was a little weird, a little melancholy, like a tear falling from the eyes of the bride when she stood alone in the church and the moonlight fell on her flowery face. Then he whispered to her, "The day you marry me, I'll buy it for you."
