A ballad that beautifully captures the emotions of someone freshly heartbroken.

Interweaving the complexities of growing up with the poignancy of love’s end, it delicately portrays the conflicting feelings of a lover’s kindness and betrayal.

Through the taste of alcohol bought at a convenience store, the lyrics symbolically express the bitterness of heartbreak and the loneliness of adulthood, leaving a powerful impression.
