Prologue
I am currently experiencing a second youth. Chasing after a love unfulfilled, unable to give up. I was given a second chance to redo my youth. Breathing in the faint remaining heat from the fragrant olive, I put my right hand in my cardigan. I carried a small piece of candy in front of my face, quietly inspecting it. It was strawberry-flavored candy wrapped in white plastic. A long time ago, even before I traveled back in time, my mother told me about this.
āLove tastes like strawberry candy.
It may be as sweet as strawberry, but it definitely isnāt as soft and easy to chew as one. And at the same time, it takes far longer to get the taste of love out of your mouth. Itās true, my love has been lasting for more than ten years now. However, I have yet to fully taste it. Iām scared of removing the plastic and putting the candy into my mouth. What if it isnāt actually sweet at all? It might be harder than I thought.
āWhat if it vanished the moment I put it into my mouth?
Thatās why I keep it close to me, in my own palm. Because Iām a coward. But, Iām tired of it. I want to taste this strawberry-flavored candy. I want to put it in my mouth, and enjoy it. This time, Iāll be together with him. For that very reason, Iāve traveled back in time.
And once that moment comes, Iāll remove the wrapper of this candy and taste it. Iām sure itāll be really sweet. But until then, Iāll keep it like this. While looking up at the cloudy sky, I put the candy back into my pocket.
