11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59

Han Jae Kyung spent three winters with Na Eun Yoon.

The first as friends, the second and third as lovers.

Through the passing seasons, he learned one consistent truth: Na Eun Yoon was always weak against the cold.

She never really asked anything of Jae Kyung; she was content just having him by her side.
