Stupid Heart
In the enchanting town of Willowdale, where sunflowers bloomed in every colour of the rainbow and music filled the air, 17-year-old John lived a life filled with wonder. He spent his days attending Willowdale High, playing guitar in a local band, and exploring the surrounding woods with his best friends, Finn and Lily who had being with him since childhood.

One fateful evening, as they sat on the hill overlooking Willowdale, John’s emotions boiled over. He was about confessing his feelings to Emily, his voice trembling like a leaf. Emily’s already became suspicious that she asked, him do you have anything to tell me. John response was uhr…emm.. I don’t have anything to say. After a gentle smile, Emily took his hand, saying, “I’ve been waiting for you to realize how I feel.” But if you hesitate, I will tell you how I felt in my heart. The whole scene was like a romance K-DRAMA a “SHE proposing to HE”

As the distance grew, John and Emily struggled to maintain their connection. They’d talk on the phone, send letters, and share messages, but it wasn’t the same as being together. John’s doubts consumed him, and he began to pull away, afraid of losing Emily forever.
Emily, sensing the distance, tried to reassure John, but he was too caught up in his own fears. The once-harmonious symphony of their love began to falter, the notes discordant and uncertain.
