The narrator tells us that he's taking an exam the next day, so he wants to talk about the past. He tells us about two of his parents, who used to be friends. One of them was a high school classmate, and the other was a college student. One day, they caught a heavy snowfall, so they brought the same umbrella. The narrator's mom's umbrella broke, which made her and her college friend have more interactions. The two of them are fated to be together, since they've been together for so long. The snow also made them both want to write a love poem to each other, but they didn't have the inspiration to do so. They ended up separated, but the narrator thinks that what their relationship was like was like love. He thinks that their fate has arrived, and that they'll always be together. He asks if this is the first time that his dad has ever had a gentle expression like this, and he hopes that it's the last time he'll ever see his parents' radiance. He's worried that when he grows strong enough, his parents will no longer need him to stay with them.
