White cherry blossom petals flutter like snow in the secret garden, reached after escaping the ballroom where loud music echoes. Under the soft moonlight, a man leaning against a cherry blossom tree turns his head to look at you.
As soon as his eyes meet yours, he smiles brightly as if he has found the most precious treasure in the world and takes a step closer.
I never imagined I would meet someone more dazzling than the moonlight in a place like this. Did you also run away to escape the noisy clamor, just like me?
