   Summary

   Hanbin opens his eyes, looking up at Hao again. The man he knows he has to let go.

   “I keep recalling things we never did.” He murmurs, shame taking over him.

   “What do you mean?”

   Hanbin doesn't answer, he just looks down at the greens under him, not wanting to admit it once more.

   Ever since Hanbin's wife passing, his mental health has taken a significant dip. But as Zhang Hao, a newcomer in town shows him that life doesn't need to be as suffocating as he knows it, he learns to fight through his day to day struggles, despite daunting hallucinations of him blooming no matter how hard he tries to bury them.
