This heartwarming song, which depicts a scene of toasting with warm soup on a winter night, was released by Saucy Dog in December 2024 as a track on their mini-album “New Gate.” The lyrics delicately portray growth and change found in everyday life—messaging friends on LINE, choosing gifts, and cherishing a smile you want to protect.

It resonates with the nostalgia and sense of responsibility one feels upon becoming an adult.
