Blooming Love (1)
Love! A strange feeling.
For some, the reason to live. For some, a painful memory.
Just like the feeling when the first drop of honey touches the tip of the tongue, love can prove itself sweet. And just like bitter gourd, it can be too bitter at times.
Love is really a strange thing.
If it wants, it can make your heart prosperous, and if willing, it can ruin your life

He forgot to bring his gloves. He didn't plan to leave his office and came to the park which is two blocks away, but the sudden wish of getting fresh air made him leave his office building.
