Jihoon hopped his way to the garden. Already excited to meet haneul.She was there sitting in the stone bench while gazing at the fountain.

"Haneul" Jihoon shouted making her look towards him. He waved his hands and flashed a big smile before running towards her and sitting in the bench near the one she's sitting.

Haneul looked at him questionably as if to ask why he called her or does he have something to say.

Jihoon shook his head. "Just felt like calling you" After few minutes of just sitting down, jihoon took out his phone and took a picture of the fountain.

The warm breeze hugged the both who were on the stone benches.It was fall. The leaves and the flowers fell down constantly. Hanuel stood up and made her way towards the large cherry blossom tree at the corner.

Jihoon too stood up and followed her. She sat under the tree leaning against the thick stem. Jihoon too hesitantly sat near her.

"Do you like cherry blossom too?" jihoon asked while spreading his hands and catching a petal that was falling down.

She just nodded her head.

She must be quiet person.

"Hanuel, You know? Cherry blossoms always encourages me. It is one of my most favourite flowers"Jihoon said expecting her to tell about her likings too.

" Oh "Was all she said. Jihoon continued

" Cherry blossom resembles a new birth. Whenever the petals fell down during fall, new petals come. That's what others think. But in my opinion i think they are just reincarnating. More better than last time. They take a break and improve themselves before coming up again. They never give up. Whenever i see them, they motivates me, not to give up. Even though the public standards are high, improve yourself until you are satisfied. There is a lot to learn even after you graduate. That's what life is.They knew they gonna fall down soon, but still they do their best. "

There was a long silence. They both just enjoyed the nature and the cherry blossoms.

" Yes you're right" Haneul told before getting and dusting off the dusts from her sweatpants. A smile crept unto jihoon's face as she responded.

She muttered a small bye before leaving him under the cherry blossom tree.
