A young man recalls his first encounter with a girl he's fallen for, describing the moment as cinematic and magical. He shares his feelings with the Moon, personified as a listener. The man describes the girl's beauty in poetic detail, emphasizing her inner qualities and shared interests. However, he hasn't expressed his feelings to her due to lack of courage. He compares his emotions to a quote from a TV show, expressing deep, overwhelming love. The Moon encourages him but questions what might happen if things don't work out. The man responds that he would cherish the memory regardless, understanding that love can't be forced. The story ends with the Moon setting, leaving the man waiting for his "sunshine" to appear.
The moon observes a young man who is deeply reflective about his feelings for a girl he recently met. Although he finds it easy to express his emotions to the moon, he struggles to communicate them in person. During a conversation with the moon, he shares his thoughts on love and vulnerability, revealing how her smile brings him joy and comfort. Despite his shyness, he eventually finds the courage to confess his feelings, feeling lighter afterward.
However, when he receives a complicated response from her-she wants to maintain their friendship without pursuing a romantic relationship-he is left feeling confused and disappointed. The moon listens intently and encourages him to embrace his emotions while acknowledging the pain of unrequited love. Ultimately, the young man resolves to focus on his dreams and maintain their friendship, with hopes for the future. As dawn approaches, the moon offers words of encouragement, reminding him to stay true to himself until they meet again.
