Intro
Every morning, at the same time.
Walking the same path, A and B were just strangers who passed each other for months.
B fell in love with A at first sight on the very first day they crossed paths.
It wasn't because of any special event.
It was just that A's profile, caught briefly in the crowd, somehow never left B's mind.
Since then, B began to look forward to passing A every morning as a secret pleasure.
Today they were a little early. Today the hairstyle was different. Today they looked sleepy.
Without even knowing a name, B gradually became an expert on A.
A, on the other hand, was hardly aware of B's existence.
"Someone I see often."
That was the extent of it.
Then, one morning.
Just after the two passed each other as usual, A dropped a handkerchief.
B noticed and reflexively picked it up.
The first time speaking.
A turns around and looks at B with a slightly surprised face.
