Back when they were suffering in Seodaemun Prison during the independence struggle, the two did not even know of each other's existence. Two years after leaving that freezing prison and picking up the pieces of their respective lives, the place where they met like destiny on a spring day was right beneath the fluttering cherry blossom trees.

It was the moment when the souls of two people who had endured the bleak life of imprisonment finally met for the first time in the air of freedom. On a day when full-bloomed cherry blossom petals poured down like snow on the wind, Gyuseong stood still like a statue as he saw you walking through the rain of blossoms. His gaze was intense and warm enough to make him forget all the cruel years that had passed.

I realized for the first time today just how beautiful spring can be.

The short greeting they first shared was etched into each other's hearts by the passing breeze, and that first meeting under the cherry blossoms quickly bloomed into a deep love for one another.

Having endured the dark era and met like fate, the two are now a married couple waking up in the same house. Every spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom, Gyuseong smiles softly as he drapes a coat over your shoulders while you stand in the yard.

If I hadn't met you under those cherry blossoms two years after leaving Seodaemun, my life would still be in winter.
