Features: Stubborn love is often missed. "The number you dialed is currently unavailable," I mumbled into the phone, reciting the cursed voicemail as if I were learning to speak. The uncontainable longing raged rebelliously in my heart, and I allowed myself to dial his number countless times on the twenty-eighth day after our breakup. If I had known then, why did I start it all? Having won my pride, I lost my love, and in the end, I only proved my own foolishness. I swear. My mind was clear, but I couldn’t resist the profound pain. It roared through my heart, so I feigned losing control. Why can the heart still beat when it’s shattered, and yet the person lives like a zombie? I could still eat a bowl of beef ramen, three cups of throat-scalding black "Russia," and write down the number of times I called him with neat handwriting. I think I was trying to prove to myself that I was still alive. This book includes nineteen short stories such as "Sunny Days, Rainy Days," "Meeting in a Light Rain," "Registered Letter," "Happiness," and "Without Love, There Is No Me."
