"Why do you like to bet on something on the honor of your name like a gambler?"
She was not sure if he really knew the weight of his pledge to her.
"Oh, I'm just kidding."
As she whispered while smiling, he felt all the lights nearby were reflected on her face.
Her clear green eyes sparkled like the sun in a sunny spot burning the shade.
"Anyway, don't be stubborn again. You probably don't remember it all, but you had a close call yesterday."
She fastened the last button of the shirt and asked him a favor as if she wanted to get his reassurances.
"If you break the promise with me, I will never forgive you."
Her clear and embarrassing voice threatened him loosely.
Until then, he didn't even realize that he made so many promises that he couldn't keep since he met her. He also didn't realize how much his promises would affect his life later.
