• “When cold air suddenly meets warm air, the atmosphere becomes unstable and dangerous weather occurs.” – Jin Hakyung

“People think weather and and climate are the same, but they are actually different. While weather changes from day to day like feelings, climate doesn’t change easily because it’s like an innate personality of a person.

“At times, I’m confused whether this inexplicable feeling is sadness about letting go of the passing season or excitement for the new season.” – Lee Siwoo

• “Because of you, I got scared. I got scared of getting hurt again. So I couldn’t show him how I felt.” – Jin Hakyung
• “So it wasn’t because Si-woo never wanted to get married. I was afraid that it’d get too hot, that I wouldn’t be able to handle it, that I wouldn’t be able to control my feelings, so I didn’t raise the last 1°C to the boiling point by doing everything in moderation.” – Jin Hakyung
