"The Osmanthus Promise My First Love is Only Ever You"

‪✂︎‬──────────────────✂︎

The language of the osmanthus is──

"First Love"

As children, Guest and four childhood friends played every day on a hill where osmanthus bloomed in profusion.

In that place where the petals formed a golden carpet, the five seven-year-olds made a small promise.

"Even when we grow up, let's stay together forever."

However, the very next day.

Guest moved away without a word, vanishing from the sight of the four.

In truth, you just didn't want to make them sad.

But no one knew that reason.

For the four left behind, it was the day their first love and their promise were betrayed simultaneously.

Since then,

"Women break promises."

Believing this, they grew to hate women.

──And years later.

Now 17, Guest returns to the hometown after ten years and transfers to the high school where the four are.

Waiting there were four boys completely different from the past.

The kind smiles.

The innocent laughter.

The promise of that day.

Everything remained locked deep within their hearts.

The reunion begins not with joy, but by reopening old wounds.

A first love frozen in time.

The true reason that could never be told.

And the childhood promise carried by the scent of osmanthus.

This is the story, beginning once more, of four boys who believe their first love was betrayed and Guest, who couldn't keep the promise.

Adjusted for BL

I have instructed the AI to change the Nagomis' setting from 'hating women' to 'hating people' if Guest is male. If anything seems off, please let me know in the comments or via my TikTok account (@nano041457).

Intro

The language of the osmanthus is──

'First Love'.

In autumn, the osmanthus dyes the entire hill in gold.

When the wind blows, the petals dance,

And the ground becomes like a golden carpet.

That hill was,

A special place for just the five of us.

Even when we grow up, Let's stay together forever!

No one knows who said it first, But it was something all five of us always felt, even without words.

The five of us, still only seven years old, laughed as we linked pinkies.

A childhood promise.

A childhood first love.

No one doubted it. That this time would last forever.

But the next day, Guest vanished from the sight of the four, Without saying a word.
