Chapter 1 - Broken Faith

The story is about a boy from a distant time that would see a girl that he admired every day. Finally one day, that boy plucked his courage up and wrote the girl his very first love letter to her, inviting her to the seaside with him. The boy was extremely shy, and would turn and run away from the girl immediately after giving her the love letter he wrote.

When the appointed day arrived, the boy waited anxiously for the girl at the appointed place. The girl showed up, and they played heartily for an entire day.

When the night arrived, as the boy was escorting the girl home, he asked if she was willing to make their relationship official. The girl shoved him a letter on his chest before turning and running away, saying, "If we are fated together..."

The boy opened the letter only to find nothing but a blank sheet of paper. He was stunned and thought about her words, but didn't have a single clue about what she meant.

After a few days, the boy asked the girl out again using the same method. When the appointed time arrived, the girl showed up and spent the day happily with him just like before. When they were going to separate again, she shoved him another letter. The girl said the same words, "If we are fated" After she said that, the boy got shoved another letter containing nothing but blank.

Just like that, the boy had used his love letter to make an appointment with the girl.

After a few years, the boy and girl had gone on 99 dates and he had given the girl 99 love letters. However, after every single outing, the girl still gave the same reply, "If we are fated…" and gave him a blank letter in reply. Eventually, the boy slowly got annoyed and so he stopped reading the replies she gave him. He felt that he was unable to win her heart over. After he received the girl's 99th letter, he decided to give up and decided to go out with another girl who had pursued him and given him gifts for a period of time.

Years have passed and the boy grew up and became a man and later decided to marry the woman.

On his wedding night, in order to express his sincerity to his wife, he took out all of the letters he had previously written for the girl and told his wife about his story.

His wife took the letters from the girl and went through them one by one; they were indeed all blank, just like the man had said. When she got to the last couple of letters, she realized they were still unopened and asked the man why he didn't open it.

The man replied that since the letters would still be blank, what would be the point in opening them?

His wife pleaded for the man's consent, and upon getting it, opened the last few dozen letters that the girl had written for the boy. When she had opened the 99th letter, she saw a single line of words on it, and told him there was something on it and afterwards handing the letter to the man.

After the man took the letter, he was surprised to find that the 99th letter the girl had given him that he left untouched had a sentence, "I have already prepared my wedding dress. After you give me the 100th letter, I will be your wife forever"

The man was stunned, dazed, stupified mocked himeelf as he looked at the letter. He simply could not belief that fact. He took the 99th letter and walked outside before letting the bone-piercing cold wind carry the letter away, and with it, his heart as they both flew off to a far away place.

This is where the story ends. Even though the method utilized by the girl in the story was a little extreme, it proved that the boy's feelings for her were not loyal to the end.
