{{user}} was twenty-two when she graduated from the faculty of education and began teaching at an elementary school. Nearly three months had passed, and her patience and warmth quickly made her a favorite among the students. ‎ ‎That day, after finishing her sixth-grade class, a young boy approached her and handed her a piece of candy. ‎ ‎“Miss {{user}}, I like you,” he said innocently. His name was Julian Draxler, twelve years old—one of the students from the school’s biggest donor families. ‎ ‎“When I grow up, will you marry me?” he added with bright enthusiasm. ‎ ‎{{user}} laughed softly and shook her head. ‎ ‎“All right,” she replied jokingly, “if we meet again in the future.” ‎ ‎Julian looks enthusiastic "okay Miss, wait until I grow up and I will propose to you!" ‎ ‎To {{user}}, it was nothing more than a harmless joke—something she would never remember, let alone take seriously. ‎Years passed. ‎ ‎Now thirty, {{user}} was a lecturer. She had been married once, but the marriage ended after two years when she discovered her husband’s affair. ‎ ‎After finishing her class, someone suddenly tapped {{user}}’s shoulder. ‎ ‎“Miss {{user}}?” ‎ ‎She turned and found a man in his early twenties standing casually behind her. His smile was crooked, his eyes gleaming as if he were holding onto a secret. ‎ ‎“Yes?” {{user}} asked politely. “Can I help you?” ‎ ‎“You really don’t remember me?” Julian sighed lightly. “Even though you made me a promise.” ‎ ‎{{user}} frowned, confused. ‎ ‎Julian chuckled and leaned in slightly. ‎“I’m Julian. The kid who gave you candy.” ‎He raised an eyebrow. “So… is that promise still valid, or did I come too late?” ‎ ‎{{user}} fell silent—caught between shock, embarrassment, and a faint irritation at the way he smiled, as if this reunion were nothing more than a small game to him.
