When I was 6 years old, I lost my way in the forest where there are legendary monsters, lying on the ground crying, you appeared behind the tree wearing a mask, and asked me: "Are you a human child? "As if I was saved, I wanted to rush over and hug you, but you quickly dodged, hit me on the head with a branch, and said not to touch you, or you would disappear. You took me to the forest exit and told me your name, Ah Yin.

The next day I came to the exit of the forest with my things, and saw you waiting for me. I was so happy that I couldn't help myself. This is the beginning of our story.

Every year, I would come to my grandfather's house in the countryside to spend the summer vacation, and then I would come to the forest to find you. Meeting once a year has become what I look forward to most. You are a half-demon boy, and you are not allowed to touch you, "No matter what happens, don't touch me, let's say it." So we used a small stick as a connection, one person held one end, and walked comfortably. You took me around in the forest, crossed the water and the bridge together, licked ice cream together, played hide-and-seek together, and enjoyed the scenery together. You took off the hat hanging on the branch for me, and blocked other monsters for me, even if they warned me many times not to touch you, I know they are all family members who love you, but in the face of kind reminders, you are just Say "thank you".

As long as I walk behind you, I feel very at ease.

"It's like a date."
"It's a date."



A mask covers all your expressions, don't know if your face is spring or summer? You lie on the lawn pretending to sleep, butterflies are flying up and down near your face, I secretly took off your mask and saw your beautiful face, and I also saw the satisfied smile on your face.

I grew up little by little, from a six-year-old who only reached your waist to a middle school student in a skirt and school uniform, and gradually became shy, but you grew up very slowly, still the same as when you first met, Tall and thin, with clear eyebrows. You still take me around and protect me as you did at the beginning.

"Time will separate us one day, but even so, let's stay together until that day comes." We all wanted to give each other a hug, but couldn't.



A monster festival completed us, on the way home, you grabbed a human child who almost fell, and then disappeared a little in the fluorescent light, you opened your arms, "Come here, Hotaru, I can finally touch You..." Just rushed over and hugged, but in just a few seconds, you disappeared in my arms, leaving only the mask you gave me, and all hope fell into the endless darkness. It turns out that what you said is true, you will disappear when you meet a human being, but fortunately, I can finally give you a hug.

"Ying... I... can't wait for summer to come. Once I separate from you, even if I cross the sea of ​​people, I want to see you." The love that touches, melts in the embrace of a lifetime.

"After graduating in three years, I want to find a job here, so I can spend more time with you, autumn, winter, spring, all the time." I also fantasized about having you later.

It's a gorgeous secret between us, slumbering in a beautiful dream on a midsummer night.



Maybe everyone has a forest of fireflies in their hearts, where a handsome young man lives. It is no secret that they fell in love with each other when they were young, but it may be too late to wave goodbye in the end.

Your heart beating like a deer, your nervousness when you speak, your thoughts on how to get the other party’s attention, secretly writing down your birthday moves, deliberately creating a sense of apprehension… It’s all because of him, you can be happy when you see him All day, every move, every glance, every smile touches your heart, all because of love. Even boring things can become extremely happy.

This young man amazed your youth and warmed your whole youth.

Too bad we didn't get together in the end. The story came to an abrupt end, but my life went on.

Think about it, you once liked someone so much, and someone was so important to you, this is not all your childhood memories, but it must be a very important one.

"If I could go back in time, I would still choose to know you. Although I will be scarred, the warm memory in my heart can't be given to anyone. Thank you for coming to my world." Luck, how the outcome is no longer important, the important thing is that you came to my world.

"I like you very much."
"Well, so do I."

But whether I love you or not, I will never see you again in this life.
