Meanwhile, I had arrived at a place that was almost cut off from the rest of the world.
It was a small mountain village called Cherry Blossom Village. The people here were simple and genuine, and the scenery was breathtaking, rivaling any tourist destination.
At first, I didn't know Cherry Blossom Village existed. Five years ago, the car Ethan and I were riding in crashed, plunging both us and the vehicle into a river. We were swept to this place, and the villagers rescued us. It was then, in trying to shield Ethan from harm, that I lost my hearing.
Before leaving the village, Ethan swore he'd marry me when we got back. Yet at the wedding, he proposed to Violet in front of everyone, making me the laughingstock of the entire city.
Now, returning to Cherry Blossom Village, the villagers warmly welcomed me. I used my savings from the past few years to buy a plot of land nearby and built a small log cabin, embracing a rural lifestyle.
