One day, I – a high schooler – found a paperback in the hospital. The “Disease Coexistence Journal” was its title. It was a diary that my classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, had written in secret. Inside, it was written that due to her pancreatic disease, her days were numbered. And thus, I coincidentally went from Just-a-Classmate to a Secret-Knowing-Classmate. It was as if I were being drawn to her, who was my polar opposite. However, the world presented the girl that was already suffering from an illness with an equally cruel reality…... more>>

He sat on the sandy beach, looking down at his hands.

He had five fingers on each hand, joined together by blue webbing. He stared at his hands. The webbing disappeared, seemingly absorbed into his body.

His skin became hard and dry. Textures began to form.

He sat there, pondering.

Who am I?

He seemed to be experiencing rather than thinking.

He could sense the damp heat of water vapour caressing his body; hear the quiet sloshing of water from afar, wave after wave; feel the grains of white sand digging into his skin.

He experienced things. But when he reached with his hand, he could not seem to grasp what they were.

He reached again and touched the corners of his mouth, noticing its upward arch. He made an expression known to humans as a smile.

Soon, the expression shifted into something else.

He sat there, cried and laughed, crying and laughing, as his chest rioted with brimming emotions. <<less

A mutual first love story between a gentle cool guy pursuing an arrogant beauty.... more>>

Fu Wenshan, a hot new singer in the entertainment industry, comes from a prestigious family background and has been harassed by various people since his debut, seeking sponsorship.

Xie Wanxing, a killer for handsome faces, is a rising actor with a low-key yet wealthy background, and a knack for making money.

Neither of them knows each other's background, but one day they accidentally sleep together.

Upon waking up, Fu Wenshan, seeing Xie Wanxing's devilishly beautiful face, thinks he's another person seeking sponsorship.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he reluctantly abandons his principles, takes a drag of his cigarette, and, like a seasoned "sponsorship" demon, says to Xie Wanxing, "You can be with me, just behave and don't cause trouble. The conditions are up to you."

It takes Xie Wanxing half a minute to confirm that the person in front of him really wants to sponsor him.

He takes a deep breath and tells himself not to lose his temper.

Then, he slaps him across the face, "Get lost, you're the one seeking sponsorship!"

Even the hotel you slept in belongs to my family. Who's sponsoring whom?!

The two of them quarrel like elementary school kids, causing chaos, and vow never to see each other again in their lives.

However, a month later, due to a variety show, they both face a reality check and reunite under the same roof.

“So am I.”

“I haven’t really dated, so I don’t know what love is.”

“I don’t know either.”

He held my hand gently, “But I know this. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I feel that my future is filled with hope.”

At 16, we used the same class desk, with less than 10cm between our arms. My peripheral vision was full of him.

At 26, I woke up in the morning, and saw the sunlight softly shining on his face. I thought, this is how I want to grow old – gradually, together, with him.

I guess this must be love. <<less
