While the earth went four times around the sun,

I longed for you and shed tears hundreds of times.

--Nell, Four Times Around The Sun

          Withdrawn, quiet, meek. Yoona has never been the kind of girl boys would write poems for. She isn’t the life of the party, nor is she the belle of the ball. Im Yoona  is a wallflower. She always has been, and it has never crossed her mind to shatter the glass world she built for herself.

            Loud, boisterous, exciting. Shim Changmin is the boy girls would steal the moon for. He’s the complete package: handsome, rich, and a certified socialite. But there’s more to him than meets the eye. Behind the careless college boy image, Changmin is a man shrouded with secrets waiting to eat him up alive.

            Living in different universes, Yoona and Changmin’s paths should never have crossed. They shouldn’t have noticed each other and sparks shouldn’t have begun flying off in all directions.

            Changmin should never have picked on the timid nerd in front of him in class, and Yoona shouldn’t have poked his eye with a very sharp pencil. Changmin should have said sorry instead of laughing and asking her out. Maybe if they haven’t done all that, they wouldn’t have fallen in love.

            And maybe, if they didn’t fell in love, Shim Changmin would still be alive today.
