The protagonist became infatuated with someone under a lilac tree on a misty night and made wine from the lilac tree to feel closer to them. However, he realizes that he drinks too much when he thinks too much about his partner because it helps him forget about missing her. The lilac wine reminds him of his love and makes him feel unsteady, leading him to question if his partner is really there or if he's just imagining it. Ultimately, he feels unready for his love.
