On her way home, she met an injured traveler from far away and asked her for directions. The girl held a bouquet full of flowers and looked at the handsome young man affectionately. At that moment, her heart was occupied by the young man's passionate smile. Despite the opposition of her family, the girl insisted that the young people stay in the guest room at home to heal until they recovered. As the days passed, the young man's leg injury had healed, and their feelings also warmed up rapidly. On a cool morning, the young people want to say goodbye, but the girl doesn't want the opposition of her family to go away with the young people, and goes to the hometown where the young people are full of roses in the distance ... The grandmother in the village holds a bouquet of lavender before the girl leaves, so that the spoony girl can test the sincerity of the young people with this bouquet of lavender ... It is said that the aroma of lavender bouquet will make unclean things appear ... that is the morning when the valley is full of lavender. Just as the youth took the girl's hand to prepare for a long trip, the girl threw a bouquet of lavender hidden in her coat on the young man. In this way, a burst of purple light smoke gathered and dispersed ... The cold wind was faintly heard in the valley, like the youth whispering ... I am your heart that wants to travel ... leaving the girl alone and melancholy ... Before long, the girl disappeared, some people said.
