This short story is 2 whole paragraphs long!!!! you don't have to read it lol - taiga

There was a boy and a girl that were together since birth, living in the 17th kingdom. On their seventeenth birthday, they realized that they were chained by the heart, and the yount man proposed to the lady with seventeen songs. But eventually her fiance was listed in the 17th draft to war, 17 weeks before their wedding. 17 days later, after the draft, he had to depart to a far place, and 17 months later he died, and the 17th kingdom had surrendered. For 17 years, the lady had painted the picture of the sunset of the shores, where she waited, every 17 days, hoping for the man to come back.

Eventually, when the 18th year came, she had lost her hope. Because of her physical beauty, 16 other men had proposed, but she refused. She went to the beach on the 17th day of May, her and her first fiance's birthday to pray to the 17 brightest stars in the sky, but she only saw 8 stars in the sky. It came to her to look into the water and see 8 other stars. She saw only 16 stars. When she turned around to go home, she heard a voice she could not recognize. "Please, will you marry me?" Thus the 17th proposal. She turned around to see, but only saw colors. Perhaps the sun had risen again, but she saw a star, filling the scene with 17 different colors. the 17th star. She finally recognized the voice and stayed at the shores to be with him forever.
