Prologue: Wilted Flower
Just as flowers need water, people need love.
There are many ways to give this love, from obvious forms like money, gifts, or physical warmth, to harsher words and actions that are harder to recognize as love.
People express their love in their own ways.
However, this does not always lead to growth.
Just as different flowers need different care, so do different people need different kinds of love.
There are those who can receive love in any form
and those who only accept the most obvious signs of affection.
When these types align perfectly, love can blossom.
But if they don’t, it’s like pouring water into a pot with a hole in it—it just flows out.
“Father, I got a perfect score!”
“Of course. As my child, that’s expected. But I’m busy now. If that’s all, please leave.”
“Yes, sir.”

It’s no wonder that a girl who craves obvious affection and a workaholic parent are a terrible match.
Until she reached high school, her seeds of love never sprouted.
She convinced herself that this was normal
and lived without knowing love.
“I wanted to help because you were working so hard.”
One day, a boy appeared beside the lonely girl working by herself.
He showed her unconditional love without expecting anything in return.
Clearly and straightforwardly, he showered her with affection.
Eventually, her seeds of love sprouted and blossomed into a flower called love.
To the girl who had never known love, this flower was incredibly beautiful and precious.
So, she gave her all
to keep it blooming,
to continue receiving his love.
But reality was harsh.
Around him, beautiful flowers that were different from her own bloomed,
and in the end, he chose another girl.
Naturally, his love was then directed solely to that one person, and the girl’s flower wilted.
Normally, one would discard a withered flower.
But the girl had only this one flower, and even though it was wilted, she couldn’t throw it away.
She cherished it, hoping for the day when he might shower her with love again. And then, a miracle happened.
Somehow, time rewound
to just before she met that boy.
Realizing this, the girl made a vow:
“This time, I will make his love mine alone.”
