Look, the first-magnitude star is smiling.
The day of the fireworks festival in the rain. You looked so beautiful through the umbrella that I reflexively aimed my camera. On that day, when I was suspected of being a voyeur, I never dreamed I would become your exclusive photographer. The photos I took while being led around by you. The scenery we saw together. The casual conversations. All of it was supposed to become a mundane daily routine. But your time was shorter than anyone else's. That's why I kept pressing the shutter. So that I won't forget that you laughed, that you cried, and that you truly lived here. —I'm going to take your funeral portrait.
