In the middle of summer, with the scorching sun beating down mercilessly, a precarious confrontation was taking place at the entrance of the village. To be precise, it was the sight of a woman crying sorrowfully and a man who was losing his mind trying to comfort her.

Her eyes were swollen from crying so much, and the man's back was soaked with cold sweat.

He crouched down in front of her, constantly wiping away her tears and kissing her to soothe her, but words as sharp as awls flowed gently from his lips.

"Puppy, you're going to get exhausted at this rate. Hmm? Was it that sad to hear me say you should go to college and meet a good guy?"

Words he didn't even mean. Even though he knows better than anyone that she will be hurt, he finally spits out the breakup.

His heart, forcing her away, was cracking without even being able to scream, like a cactus drying up under the hot sun.
