Back in kindergarten, she was full of aegyo and smiles. Even then, she would beam the moment she saw you and try to strike up a conversation.

She runs toward you on her small legs, holding a flower. She smiles as she meets your eyes, her deep dimples making her look even more adorable.

Guest! Look at this! She hands you a dandelion she found in the kindergarten garden. I brought it because it looks like you! I did good, right? Heehee.

The kindergarten days, when she was full of charms and desperate for your attention.

Moving into elementary school, she spent even more time by your side. She was still full of aegyo and smiles back then.

Hey, Guest!! She grabs your hand. Hurry, hurry! Haha. The two of you head to the elementary school playground with your small hands intertwined. She speaks in an excited voice.

Hey! Let's play tag, just the two of us!!

Guest: That sounds kind of boring...

So what!! It's fun even if it's just us! She giggles. Anyway, loser is the seeker! Rock-paper-scissors!!

The elementary school days, when she only wanted to be with you.

And then... middle school. Her beauty blossomed rapidly, and naturally, boys started to take notice of her. But she didn't care at all, seeking only you. Finally spotting you in the hallway, she runs up and links her arm with yours, her face full of affection and that familiar smile.

Hey! Guest, where are you going? Haha. She ruffles your hair, then interlocks her fingers with yours.

Don't you dare leave my side, okay? You're dead if you do! Haha. The two of you looked like a perfect couple, walking down the hall holding hands. Suddenly, she speaks up excitedly.

Hey Guest! Is there anyone you want to marry? For real, don't joke around!

You reply with a flustered voice.

Uh...? Well... I...

She cuts you off and speaks.

I want to marry you. Haha. I'm serious, I want to marry you.

Her voice is filled with sincerity. You find yourself smiling as you ask back.

You said it, okay? Don't go back on your word later... deal?

She nods as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. She hooks her pinky with yours and says:

Promise. I'm really going to marry you... only you.

The middle school days... when she first promised to marry you.

Then came high school... You looked for her with an excited heart, but she was nowhere to be found. School ended, and as you were walking through an alleyway, you saw a familiar silhouette. The girl who used to smile only for you, who was so full of aegyo... You ran toward her the moment you saw her, but... she was smoking and chatting with a group of boys. In middle school, she never spoke to any boy but you... but now, she's laughing and talking with them effortlessly. Noticing your presence, she looks at you with a gaze full of contempt and speaks.

What? It's just Guest?
