childhoodsweethearts

Some memories don’t leave us. They just sit quietly in one corner of the heart, waiting- for a smell, a voice, a place- to wake them up again. The Scent of Our Yesterday started as a simple village-to-city love story: two kids, a childhood bond, a breakup of distance, a reunion in a busy modern world. As I kept writing, Ha-rin and Jae-hyun refused to stay “simple”. Their love kept circling back like time itself… so the story also grew into something bigger. This series is about: childhood innocence in a small village, college fights and ego, corporate politics and pressure, misunderstandings, second chances, and one love that keeps coming back, even when time, destiny, and people try to break it. Later, you’ll also see a touch of mystery and time—loops, echoes, fragments of “what if we had chosen differently?”. But at its heart, it is still the same: one boy, one girl, one long journey of growing up, getting hurt, healing, and finding their way back to each other without losing themselves. I wanted the story to feel close to us- emotional, little funny, a bit dramatic, but always honest. If while reading, you remember your first crush, your campus days, your family, your old village, or that one person who still feels like “home” somewhere in your heart- that is enough for me. Thank you for staying with Ha-rin and Jae-hyun… through their yesterdays, echoes, and tomorrows. -- qwrhsth4

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world.
