In the summer when I was 18, I gave my pure first night to Ryan.
Even though it was very painful, I was still very happy, thinking that my secret love finally came to fruition.
But I didn't expect that the next day, I heard his friends teasing him in public.
That summer when I turned 18, Ryan took away my purity.
"Well done, you successfully slept with the most beautiful girl in the class."
And Ryan, who was still very gentle last night, answered casually:
"My goal is the school beauty. I will practice with Mia a few times first, so as not to perform poorly in front of the school beauty."
I didn't say anything and left silently.
Then before the deadline, I changed my college application from New York to Florida.

Innocence Traded for Summer Secrets

In my new surroundings, I formed numerous friendships, participated in various organizations, and maintained a busy schedule daily.


The previous sadness had long since dissipated.


I realized that centering one's life around a single individual is rather uninteresting.


Pondering this, I found myself beginning to understand Ryan's perspective from back then.


The world is expansive, and life is still lengthy. Why limit oneself to one person so soon?

Though the rainy and typhoon seasons were challenging, and there were indeed many roaches.


However, I could observe beautiful blossoms year-round when I looked up. Soon, I couldn't even recall what winter looked like.
