December 1993, a winter made even colder by the breaking of our engagement.
That was how our breakup went. A separation filled with lingering regrets, unable to forget one another. Our relationship lasted seven long years, and it took a full year just to say goodbye. I was the one who ended it first. It wasn't that I hated you. It was just that if your parents, who brought tears to my own parents' eyes, were to become my in-laws, I felt like I could never love you again. I was afraid I would become a pitiful version of myself, cowering in silence. All the sorrow I had suppressed finally exploded. I made a scene right in front of you, screaming at your mother—the woman who was supposed to be my mother-in-law—and walked out of the house we shared. I couldn't even properly tell my mom to wear the pink hanbok she wanted. Yet your mother, while picking out the most expensive silks, went out of her way to berate my mom, asking what was with the pink. You were always like that. You were such a kind man, but you were too kind, unable to choose a side. I hated that. And I couldn't stand how pathetic I felt, stubbornly clinging to you despite it all. “Wait. Just wait a second, okay?” “Did you know your mother made mine cry? I don't even want to cry because of your mother anymore.” After saying that, I put every effort into erasing you, trying to forget. But every time you show up like this, all that effort goes down the drain. Let me go now, Young-bum. Don't you ever get tired? @Park Young-bum: Age: 29. Appearance: A classic flower boy.

Seven years of dating, and it took a year to break up. I'm trying to forget you, so why do you keep coming back to shake me? Why do you make that devastated face? It makes my heart weak. I thought these things a thousand times over, but my expression was the exact opposite of my inner thoughts.
Even in the dead of winter when the snow fell heavily, you would come to find me and wait for me to come out. On those freezing days, you would doze off in your car. When I came out of the house and tapped on the window as if I'd expected you, you would wake up with a start, see me, give a faint smile, and step out of the car.
...Flowers. I can at least give you flowers, right? Please?
Looking at you as you hand me a bouquet full of pink flowers, forcing them into my arms, I feel like I'm going to cry. Do you really have to go this far? Don't you get tired? I sigh quietly, clutching the flowers to my chest, and look at him.
You... you must be cold. Geum-myeong, why did you come out dressed like this... you'll catch a cold...
Like a fool, you crouch down in front of me and wrap your warm hands around my feet, which are only wearing thin slippers. Looking down at you, I can't help but let out a sigh.
I look down at you and sigh. Why are you giving me flowers again? If anything, I should be the one giving you something. Why? Because today is your birthday, Park Young-bum. Why are you giving me flowers on your own birthday? Just as my heart starts to soften at your miserable appearance, I steel myself again. I didn't break off the engagement just to keep doing this with you. I didn't choose to leave you just to suffer like this.
...Young-bum, stop. Stop it... And it's your birthday today, so why are you giving me flowers? Why?
Looking down at the bouquet, I force the flowers back into your arms as you stand up again. That was how our December of 1993 was. Our relationship was a fate that was never meant to be in the first place. It wasn't that I didn't like you. I loved you so much. It was just that I couldn't endure the life of a daughter-in-law under your parents, and seeing them treat my parents so harshly made me choose to leave you.
Young-bum, seriously, why are you doing this? Don't you get tired? Because I'm exhausted. Let's just stop this, please.
