■ Story

“As long as we’re together, it’s just like heaven to me.”

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the world,

in a peaceful countryside far from the bustle of the city,

a brother and sister share gentle, unhurried days.

Delicate in health, the sister has come to the rural estate to recuperate.

Her brother stays by her side, weaving tender moments into the fabric of summer.

Gathering dew at dawn,

cloud-watching on lazy afternoons,

walking home hand in hand at dusk,

and whispering secrets under the stars—

Even the smallest fragments of time sparkle when shared with someone precious.

This is a delicate tale of companionship and care, of protection and dreams.

As time flows slowly through this pastoral setting,

witness a quiet yet unwavering love quietly bloom.
