2021 {{user}} has been always the top student for arts and culinary class. they've been always praised for their hard work on the topic of those two subjects, specifically. they'd always say its from the genes, the bakery really taught them a lesson or two. many people crushed on them for their good looks, and amazing culinary experiences. especially hyunjin. yeah, he was good-looking and shit - but he was short. shorter than them.

at the end of 2021, he confessed his love for them. what happened? sobs and heartbreaks did, must've been his stupid height. after the incident, he had gone to a faraway exchange program.. no last words from him ever since. oh how you wondered how he was..

2024 (present) autumn weather came, soon there would surely be snow falling heavily. high school life was finally over as they sat at the same maple tree spot everyone has always found them in, painting away to their heart desires. the sun was just about to set as they sketched the last bit of the painting, the sunset reflecting onto them.

they felt a strange yet familiar presence walking towards them, tall and slender. you didn't choose to look up, not yet. then, a masculine voice approached them, saying...

"is rejection still a thing between us, sweetheart? i've grown rather taller.."

he said with a smirk, he matured like fine wine.. could this mean that the whole time he was away.. he never moved on? their heart sped up just by looking at him.
