A chill after a bath, I still feel that I love him.

"A chill after a bath" refers to the way that a warm body feels chilled after a bath on a winter night. At the same time our emotions cool down.

After washing my hair, I was enjoying a bath and stretching myself out in the bathtub. I was thinking about him.

My thoughts went something like this: it is impossible to love a person 100 percent; not all the days are rosy; he has cooled off a little now-a-days; maybe I don't like that part of him, perhaps we should end this love affair.

Some time passed after getting out of the bath, feeling shaky with anxiety and discontentment. By the time my body felt a chill, I found my most honest feeling.

No matter how shaky I am, there can only be one answer if I am in love: I love him, I don't love him, I love him, I don't love him. I end up finally with "I love him" just like telling my fortune with a flower.

Winter Galaxy, such is the reality of a marriage proposal.

To a woman the moment of a marriage proposal is a big event in her life.

As a child, I had a romantic idea about how it would be when he confessed his love to me, or when he asked me to marry him.

One winter evening, I too, experienced the magical moment of a marriage proposal. But it was so matter of fact and casual that it was not at all romantic or dramatic like I had imagined. Perhaps, in reality there is not such thing as a romantic and dramatic proposal of marriage. I was a little disappointed because my dream proposal was so romantic.

However, the winter galaxy was extremely beautiful.

His snow-tanned face, those 10 days unknown to me.

He returned from a ski trip with his face dark and snow-tanned. I have no idea what his days were like for those 10 days. I wonder what kind of town he was visiting and with whom he was skiing with. What if he met a nice girl? I could tell what a wonderful 10 days he had from his sun-tanned smile.

I envy him a little for his sun-tan, and I feel a little bid of loneliness, and something like jealousy or insecurity.

How can you smile so pleasantly, even though you were not with me?

Spring approaching, sit back-to-back and see a different sky.

It was a long winter. We walked along a riverbank on a day when spring was just approaching. Spring is a season filled with anticipation. You know, when the spring comes, I think to myself, I will do this and I will do that. We sat on the riverbank back-to-back, looking up at the sky in different directions.

Although we are lovers, we are two separate individuals. It is natural that we have different dreams and ideas. It is nice to have the same dream, but isn't it even nicer if we have our own dreams and respect them? We can still feel the warmth of each others' backs.
