00:30Huyang out for a meal, but Huyang declines because he has already made plans for a blind date arranged by
00:35a close friend. Arriving at the restaurant, Huyang sits calmly, waiting. Soon, a woman dressed in green with a sweet
00:43fringe hairstyle sits down and greets him. She introduces herself as Hongju, assuming that Huyang is her blind date, set
00:51up by Heiji. Meanwhile, Huyang feels a surge of unexpected emotions toward her, as though she stirs up memories deeply
00:59etched within him. This encounter, however, turns out to be a misunderstanding, as the man intended for Hongju is actually
01:07seated at the next table, wearing a red suit. Hongju realizes this when another woman arrives and greets the man
01:14she was supposed to meet.
01:16After Hongju leaves, Huyang finds himself unable to take his eyes off her. Distracted, he becomes cold and unfocused when
01:24his blind date, named Miso, tries to engage him in conversation. Huyang, still captivated by Hongju, eventually chooses to ignore
01:33Miso entirely.
01:35Later that evening, while stopped at a red light, Huyang spots Hongju again, sitting at a bus stop. Her distinctive
01:42way of tying her hair and styling her fringe assures Huyang that she is indeed the woman he knew a
01:48decade ago.
01:49Seeing her enjoying street food, Huyang approaches and orders the same snack. Huyang then greets her once more, confirming that
01:58she is, in fact, the person he remembers.
02:00Hongju acknowledges this and hints that at the restaurant, she had only pretended not to know him.
02:06She also encourages Huyang to reconnect with his old friends while he is in Korea.
02:11Huyang agrees and shares his phone number with her.
02:14Suddenly, Hongju remarks that Heiji would be pleased to know that Huyang has returned to Korea.
02:20Without hesitation, Huyang asks if Hongju missed him as well.
02:24This unexpected question flusters Hongju, causing her to spill her drink on his suit.
02:29Panicking, Hongju rushes off, informing the food vendor that she will cover Huyang's meal with her change.
02:36The scene flashes back to 10 years ago, to the first time they met on a bus heading to school.
02:41Hongju, who had fallen asleep, worries the driver, who asks Huyang to wake her.
02:47Regardless of her destination, Huyang must make sure she gets off the bus.
02:51As they nearly reach the school gate and spot several students being disciplined, Hongju realizes she is late and could
02:58be in serious trouble.
03:00To avoid punishment, Hongju pretends that her tardiness was due to helping Huyang, who she claims was dealing with a
03:06leg injury.
03:07But Huyang plays along by claiming not to know her at all, resulting in Hongju receiving punishment while Huyang is
03:14excused because of his supposed injury.
03:16During class, Huyang catches sight of Hongju in the garden hall.
03:20He watches her intently from the window, hinting that he might already feel an attraction toward her.
03:26During the break, Hongju spends time with Heiji.
03:30In this moment, Heiji confides in her that she has a crush on one of the top students in their
03:35grade, none other than Huyang.
03:37Hongju feels slightly disappointed upon learning that Heiji's crush is the same annoying guy she encountered that morning.
03:43Still, deep down, she decides to support her friend in pursuing romance with whoever she likes.
03:50One day, Heiji wants to confess her feelings to Huyang by giving him a love letter, but she lacks the
03:56courage to do it herself.
03:58Feeling desperate, Heiji finally asks Hongju for help.
04:02After some persuasion and a little bargaining, Hongju agrees to deliver the letter on Heiji's behalf.
04:08When Huyang receives the letter and realizes it's from Heiji, his expression shows disappointment, suggesting that he might have feelings
04:15for Hongju instead.
04:17Returning to the present day, Hongju makes a call to Heiji that evening.
04:22During their conversation, Hongju mentions that Heiji's first love, Huyang, has returned to Korea.
04:29Huyang is thrilled to hear that Huyang is back and wonders if he's been doing well.
04:33She then advises Hongju to start dating soon, suggesting she should at least meet the man she was set up
04:39with three times.
04:41But Hongju brushes it off, feeling there are far more important things to focus on than dating.
04:46That morning marks Huyang's first day as the head financial planner at Rock Asset Korea, his family's company headquartered in
04:53America.
04:54Later, after a meeting, Huyang tells his uncle that the car he borrowed yesterday was towed for illegal parking.
05:01Upon learning that the incident was due to Huyang meeting his first love, Uncle Wook is surprisingly understanding and decides
05:09not to be upset with him.
05:10Meanwhile, with Hongju's help, Heiji happily contacts Huyang just to chat and catch up.
05:17Huyang agrees to meet her, accepting the welcome party planned by Heiji.
05:21Huyang then dresses up for the event, especially after hearing that Hongju will attend.
05:26However, it seems Hongju will be late to the reunion held at the restaurant owned by their fellow alumni, Sang
05:32-pil, due to a commitment.
05:34She has been instructed to attend a director's party to present a gift on behalf of her boss.
05:40Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the director's party, Hongju runs into her first love, Jun-ho, which made their reunion feels
05:48awkward.
05:48After the event, somehow, Hongju arrives at the reunion, heavily intoxicated.
05:54Her sweet, slightly inebriated manner seems to captivate Huyang.
05:59After the dinner party, Huyang takes care of Hongju, ensuring she gets home safely.
06:04Swaying slightly, Hongju shares her thoughts on her first love with Huyang, saying that first loves feel special because they
06:11only happen once.
06:12However, first love fades over time, eventually becoming a memory without the intense emotions it once held.
06:21She warns Huyang that there's no need to dwell on one's first love.
06:25But Huyang has a different view.
06:27When he sees Hongju, he feels his first love rekindling.
06:32The next morning, Hongju recalls the embarrassing thing she did in front of everyone the previous night.
06:38Shortly after, Heiji arrives, and they have breakfast together.
06:41Hongju then mentions that she ran into Jun-ho before the reunion, feeling she couldn't avoid him that evening.
06:48She is confident she acted appropriately, showing little reaction during their brief encounter.
06:54Meanwhile, Heiji shares that she admires Huyang even more now, as he's more handsome and mature.
07:00Hongju reacts with mild irritation, questioning how Heiji can still care about him after being ignored so often.
07:07After all, Huyang never once responded to the love letters Heiji sent him countless times in the past.
07:14In a flashback, Heiji feels deeply saddened by being ignored, prompting Hongju to bravely confront Huyang.
07:22She even posts a message on the classroom board, urging him to acknowledge Heiji's feelings.
07:27But to Hongju's frustration, this did nothing to change his attitude, and Huyang continued to act distant with Heiji.
07:34Despite the time of 10 years, Heiji still holds onto the belief that she once received a fortune reading predicting
07:41she would live in America.
07:43She interprets this as a sign that she and Huyang are meant to be together.
07:49Unexpectedly, Huyang's apartment turns out to be close to Hongju's, directly below hers.
07:55Huyang realizes this while accompanying her home that night.
07:58Meanwhile, Hongju receives a call from Uncle Wook, asking her to take his nephew, who has just arrived from America,
08:05out for a day.
08:06This request from Uncle Wook is actually Huyang's idea.
08:10Since Uncle Wook once shared a photo of a young girl with long hair, Hongju assumes his niece must be
08:15a girl.
08:15But she's mistaken. Once back at her apartment, she sees Huyang instead of the young girl she had expected from
08:22the photo.
08:23Reluctantly, Hongju finds herself spending the day with Huyang, showing him around Seoul.
08:29Their first stop is an amusement park where they enjoy various rides.
08:34Throughout the day, Hongju tries repeatedly to contact Heiji to ask her to join them,
08:39but receives no response as Heiji is busy hiking with her father.
08:43After enjoying the rides, Hongju challenges Huyang to a spicy noodle-eating contest.
08:49Next, they visit a historical site and try on traditional hombok attire.
08:54While Huyang helps capture photos of Hongju, he seems drawn to her charm and beauty.
08:59Because of this, they both have such a good time that, without realizing it, they grow closer.
09:05Meanwhile, Heiji is shown spending time with Jun-ho, revealing a family connection between them.
09:12In a rather sarcastic tone, Heiji warns Jun-ho not to interfere with Hongju, reminding him that their relationship ended
09:19three years ago.
09:21Elsewhere, Hongju and Huyang are seen chatting in his car on a rainy night.
09:26Huyang attempts to clear up a misunderstanding from when Hongju spoke bluntly while drunk.
09:31In the cozy atmosphere, they accidentally share a romantic gaze, leaving them both feeling awkward.
09:38When Huyang shows her a sweet gesture, Hongju can't control the racing of her heart.
09:43Ten years earlier, they had a falling out when Hongju persistently urged Huyang to respond to Heiji's confession.
09:50At the time, Hongju didn't realize that Huyang was hiding his feelings for her.
09:55His heart broke the most when Hongju told him she'd never like a guy who couldn't understand love, like Huyang.
10:02Despite her harsh words, all she really wanted was for him to reject Heiji gently, if he didn't feel the
10:08same way.
10:09Over the years, as Hongju continued delivering Heiji's love letters to Huyang, his affection for Hongju quietly grew.
10:17Once, when she had dozed off in the library and was about to hit her head on the table,
10:22he gently cushioned her cheek to prevent her from getting hurt.
10:25Not only that, Huyang also secretly helped her with her writing assignments.
10:30Back in the present, Hongju arrives at the office to find her co-workers giving her strange looks.
10:36She is called upstairs, and to her surprise, she finds Junho in the room.
10:41In the past, she had bitter memories of Junho.
10:44When he went abroad, he abruptly broke up with her without any explanation.
10:48Now, Junho plans to adapt his novel into an animated series, and Hongju is assigned a role of producer for
10:56the project.
10:57Knowing she'll have to work closely with him, Hongju feels uneasy.
11:01At the same time, Huyang hints to his uncle that he plans to stay in Korea a while longer.
11:07Returning to Hongju, although she and Junho share a bitter past,
11:12she hopes they can remain professional at work and keep past emotions out of their interactions.
11:17Suddenly, Junho confesses that he has been thinking about her for the past three years.
11:22He expresses a desire to rekindle their relationship, but Hongju firmly rejects him and quickly walks away.
11:29By coincidence, she encounters Uncle Wook and Huyang outside.
11:34Seeing that her ex is bothering her, Huyang immediately takes Hongju's hand,
11:39pretending to be her new romantic interest to protect her from further discomfort.
11:43After playing along, they hide together until they are certain Junho has left.
11:48Hongju thanks Huyang for his help, and then quickly leaves.
11:52Later, her colleagues, including her boss, Mrs. Bae, learn about her past relationship with Junho.
11:58Though this makes Hongju uncomfortable, the team leader urges her to set aside her personal feelings,
12:04as this project is a rare opportunity to advance her career as an animation film producer.
12:10Not only that, Mrs. Bae advises her to learn from the experience,
12:14suggesting that there's no perfect love in real life,
12:16and that she'd be better off focusing on her work instead of dwelling on romance.
12:21After Uncle Wook informs Huyang that the man with Hongju was Junho,
12:25Huyang recalls past memories, realizing that Junho was Hongju's first love 10 years ago.
12:31Back then, Huyang had once helped Hongju write an extensive recommendation for a library book,
12:37one of which was a book authored by Junho.
12:40He remembers a day when he saw Hongju skipping class to follow Junho to Seoul National University.
12:46Without her knowing, Huyang quietly followed her.
12:49Upon reaching Chaiwan Terminal, Hongju realized she was being followed by Huyang,
12:55who quickly made up an excuse, saying he was lost.
12:58Hongju then invited him to join her, leading him to a military barracks.
13:04Heartbroken, Huyang watched as Hongju dressed up and admitted she was planning to confess her feelings to Junho.
13:10She confided that she was so nervous her heart was racing.
13:14Later, Huyang shared this memory with his uncle,
13:17leading Uncle Wook to realize that his nephew's first love was none other than Hongju, their neighbor.
13:23Uncle Wook is taken aback to learn that the real reason Huyang delayed returning to America
13:28was because of his feelings for Hongju.
13:31He worries that Huyang may like her too much,
13:34doubting his nephew's chances with her since he suspects that Huyang is not Hongju's type.
13:38Meanwhile, Heiji is shown talking with Kyo Wante, the man previously set up for a date with Hongju.
13:45Curious, Heiji asks why he hasn't arranged a follow-up date with her friend.
13:50In truth, Kyo Wante has strong feelings for Heiji, but he lacks the courage to tell her.
13:55On the other hand, after discovering that Junho was Hongju's first love,
14:01Huyang becomes uneasy.
14:02He barely reacts when he receives the good news of his promotion,
14:06as his thoughts are consumed by Hongju.
14:09After work, Huyang runs into Hongju, and she invites him to grab some fried chicken.
14:15However, Huyang feels disappointed when he realizes she has also invited Heiji along.
14:20As they chat, Huyang makes a passing comment,
14:23calling Hongju foolish and oblivious even after 10 years, clearly alluding to Junho.
14:29Hearing this, Hongju feels insulted and leaves abruptly,
14:33giving Heiji a chance to spend some time alone with Huyang.
14:36Yet, Heiji grows suspicious.
14:39She's noticed how often Huyang has been around Hongju since arriving in Korea,
14:43and their encounters don't seem coincidental.
14:46She then asks Huyang outright if he likes Hongju, and he admits it.
14:50Though Heiji feels heartbroken, she tries to be understanding.
14:54She reflects that Huyang hasn't been a part of Hongju's life,
14:58and for the past 10 years, Hongju has leaned solely on her.
15:02As a result, Heiji warns him that winning Hongju's heart won't be easy,
15:07nor will he easily replace her in Hongju's life.
15:09Meanwhile, Hongju heads to Sangpil's restaurant,
15:13confiding in him about the project she's leading as the main producer alongside Junho.
15:18Hearing this, Sangpil is upset, hoping Hongju would steer clear of that man.
15:23However, Hongju insists she has no other choice and asks him not to mention this to Heiji.
15:29The next day, in her room, Hongju opens a box filled with mementos of her time with Junho.
15:36In truth, her dream of becoming an animation producer was inspired by his work.
15:41When she first started out, she didn't have the qualifications,
15:45but her determination and willingness to learn pushed her forward.
15:48She even dreamed of adapting Junho's novel, My Avant-Gardener Lover, into an animated film.
15:55After a night of reflection, Hongju decides to meet with Mrs. Bae
15:59and confirms her commitment to producing Junho's novel as an animation.
16:04She is resolved to lead this project as the primary producer.
16:08Meanwhile, after careful thought, Huyang finally decides to return to America.
16:13The uncertainty of winning Hongju's heart plays a part in his choice to leave.
16:18At the same time, Heiji shares her concerns with Kyo An-taik,
16:22seeking advice on what to do when one's first love falls for their closest friend.
16:27Kyo An-taik responds that he would try to let go,
16:29happy at least that his friend has found someone new or someone good to love.
16:33Heiji agrees, finding comfort in his words.
16:36The scene flashes back to 10 years ago, showing a devastated Hongju after failing to find Junho
16:43at his military base.
16:45Determined not to leave the town until she confessed her feelings,
16:49Hongju even had a breakdown over lunch, crying openly in front of Huyang.
16:53Later that afternoon, Huyang accompanied Hongju back to the military base,
16:58where they learned that Junho's unit had been relocated to the border zone.
17:02Disappointed, Hongju returned home, knowing she wouldn't be able to see Junho for another six
17:08months. In the present day, Huyang receives a call from Heiji, informing him that Hongju has
17:14been in a car accident. Without hesitation, Huyang cancels his flight. Though her injuries aren't
17:20severe, Hongju has suffered cuts on her leg and head. She has no family around. Even as a teen,
17:26her father had cruelly considered sending her to an orphanage. In other words, Hongju was abandoned
17:33by both parents early on and has had no one to rely on, even during times of illness. When Hongju
17:39finally wakes up, she finds Huyang by her side. At that moment, Hongju reassures him that she's okay
17:46and insists he shouldn't worry and should go home. However, Huyang is there for a reason. He gently
17:53places Hongju's hand on his chest, subtly conveying his feelings for her. Sensing something unusual,
17:59Hongju begins to wonder if Huyang might like her, but quickly dismisses it, thinking it must be a
18:05delusion. Shortly after, Heiji arrives at the hospital with Kyo An-tae to visit Hongju. As she
18:11steps out of the car, Heiji nearly stumbles, and Kyo An-tae kindly offers her his shoes so she can
18:17walk
18:18comfortably, making Heiji blush. Hongju soon decides to leave the hospital, preferring not to stay.
18:25In the lobby, she asks Huyang to stop flirting with her. She feels that his actions have confused
18:30her, leading her to misunderstand his intentions, and suspects he might treat all women this way,
18:36because he's lived in America. Before Huyang can respond, Heiji arrives, followed shortly by Uncle
18:43Wook, who appears angry and pushes Huyang's forgotten suitcase from the taxi into the lobby
18:48after his unexpected trip to the hospital. To reassure Hongju that she no longer harbors feelings
18:53for Huyang, Heiji stages a little act, claiming she now has feelings for Kyo An-tae and is actually
18:59dating him. Her goal is to encourage Hongju to get closer to Huyang. Heiji even makes sure Huyang
19:06takes Hongju home. Although this makes Hongju feel slightly awkward, she has no choice but to go along
19:13with it. The scene flashes back to 10 years ago, where Hongju and Huyang miss the last bus after
19:19leaving the military base, leaving them stranded and unable to return to Seoul that night. While
19:24searching for a place to stay, Huyang slips while adjusting his shoe and falls into a reservoir
19:29undergoing repairs. Seeing him fall, Hongju scrambles to find a way to help him. In the process,
19:36Huyang suddenly slips deeper, appearing to sink, prompting Hongju to jump in after him.
19:42Both end up trapped there, finally climbing out at sunrise with the help of soldiers.
19:47Back in the present, Huyang keeps a close watch over Hongju, concerned as she struggles with the
19:53stairs and almost trips. Swiftly, he steadies her. Beyond his attentiveness,
19:58Huyang even buys her food and offers to bring her a medicinal recipe.
20:03Elsewhere, Heiji takes Uncle Wook and Kyoan take out to eat at Sangpil's restaurant. During their
20:09conversation, Uncle Wook is surprised to learn that Huyang was Heiji's first love. However,
20:16Heiji assures him that she's fine with it, as it was a high school memory she's since let go.
20:21Meanwhile, Huyang seems to linger constantly in Hongju's thoughts. She even dreams of romantic
20:27moments with him. Upon waking and realizing she's still in Huyang's apartment, she hurries up the
20:33stairs to her place on the floor above. Soon, Huyang arrives, gently carrying her up the stairs to help
20:39her. He also brings along the medicine and food he bought for her. Elsewhere, Junho can't seem to
20:46forget Hongju. He still harbors feelings for his ex years ago. When they were together, Hongju accompanied
20:52him to an interview with a journalist. When asked who he first thought of after winning a Young Writer's
20:57Award, Junho looked toward Hongju, who had fallen asleep beside him. At that moment, he shared that
21:03he wanted to celebrate this joy with a special person in his life. To him, she had brought out a
21:08gentler, more expressive side in his writing and had always been his support. Despite this, Junho went
21:15through a dark period, plagued by panic attacks, an inability to write, and the loss of numerous contracts,
21:22leaving him financially and emotionally strained. Unable to share this struggle with Hongju,
21:27he felt compelled to sacrifice their relationship. This time, however, Junho is determined not to
21:34repeat his past mistakes and has resolved to win back Hongju's heart. The scene flashes back to the past,
21:40where Hongju and Huyang are stuck at the reservoir. To pass the time, they chat, and the conversation
21:47grows more interesting when they realize they both love anime. Huyang even confides that he
21:53once dreamed of becoming an animation director, though there's something holding him back from
21:57pursuing it. Hongju, inspired by his dreams, confidently declares she'll pursue her own dream job.
22:04Though she initially struggled to envision her career path, hearing about Huyang's aspirations made her
22:10realize she shares the same dream. Jokingly, Hongju promises to give 5% of her salary to Huyang for
22:17borrowing his dream. Back in the present, Huyang prepares breakfast for Hongju with some help from
22:22Heiji and Sangpil, allowing him to make her favorite dishes. Before leaving, he reminds Hongju of her past
22:29promise. She laughs it off, saying it was a ridiculous pledge she made without thinking clearly,
22:35especially since she's now an animation producer, not a director. Huyang chuckles, admitting he was just
22:42teasing her. Meanwhile, after learning that Hongju has returned to work, Junho shows up at her
22:48apartment, only to feel jealous upon seeing her with Huyang. In a fit of frustration, he threatens to
22:54cancel their project. Unfazed, Hongju tells him to leave. After he's gone, Huyang notices Hongju looking
23:02downcast, even in tears, and he moves to comfort her, wishing for her recovery, both from her leg
23:09injury and heartbreak. During this time, a tender moment unfolds between them, leading to a kiss.
23:16Flashing back to 2013, where Huyang is seen asking Hongju to wait for him, only to dash onto a bus,
23:24and leave her behind. Reflecting on this past incident, Huyang feels their romance once had a
23:29false start. Returning to the present, Huyang reassures Hongju that their recent kiss wasn't
23:35just a fleeting moment, as he truly has feelings for her. He admits it took him a long time to
23:40gather
23:41the courage to say this. Although Hongju insists she could never like him, Huyang believes that the
23:47future is uncertain. He hopes she'll give their kiss some serious thought. Elsewhere, Heiji starts to
23:53notice how handsome Kyoan Take is, and as she approaches to chat with him, he shyly withdraws,
23:58avoiding her gaze. Meanwhile, Hongju helps Sangpil peel onions at his restaurant. When asked if she's
24:05dating anyone, Sangpil jokingly complains that Hongju and Heiji always ignore his request to
24:11set him up with someone. However, he admits he's not too concerned, as his restaurant success is his
24:16current priority. It turned out, Sangpil follows a principle of not dating until his business is
24:22stable. But he can't shake the feeling that something is different about Hongju, suspecting
24:27that she may indeed be seeing someone. On another place, Uncle Wook is annoyed with Mrs. Bae for
24:34repeatedly parking carelessly, sparking a debate between them. According to workplace gossip,
24:39Mrs. Bae holds a grudge against him, as she intended to buy the building now occupied by
24:44Uncle Wook three years ago. Confidently, Uncle Wook believes Mrs. Bae hasn't gotten over him as her
24:51first love. Mrs. Bae laughs heartily at this, dismissing him as pathetic. Meanwhile, after Kyoan
24:59Take has repeatedly avoided her, Heiji finally gets the chance to talk to him. She invites Kyoan Take for a
25:05walk and a meal the next day as a thank you gesture, feeling that, thanks to his insights
25:10about Hongju and Hooyang, she can finally let go and be more supportive of her friends' love lives.
25:17At the same time, when Hooyang learns that Hongju is at Sangpil's restaurant, he rushes over,
25:23only to be disappointed as she is already left upon hearing he was on his way. Elsewhere, in a drunken
25:29state, Junho reads through dozens of love letters that Hongju once sent him. He tries to reach out
25:35to her, messaging her repeatedly, but she doesn't respond. Flashing back, when Hongju learned that
25:41Hooyang had moved to America, she felt crushed. The night before he left, she had wanted to talk
25:47with him about her own dreams of becoming an animation director. In the present, Hongju is shown
25:53meditating to calm her mind. Soon, Sangpil invites her to join him, Hooyang, and Uncle Wook for a beach
25:59outing. Though reluctant at first, Hongju eventually agrees. During the trip, Hooyang keeps glancing at her,
26:08making her feel awkward. Hongju grows frustrated, feeling unable to avoid his advances as he continues
26:15to express his feelings and seek her attention. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, they unpack and then
26:21join Sangpil and Uncle Wook for some fishing. Hooyang and Hongju head toward the seawall to fish,
26:27while Sangpil enjoys the view and keeps an eye on Uncle Wook, who is napping. Elsewhere, the publishing
26:33agency handling Junho proposes contract terms to Mrs. Bae, requesting full production rights, which would
26:40grant them complete control over resource management for the project. Concerned for Junho, they also
26:46suggest replacing Hongju as the lead producer. Mrs. Bae disagrees, arguing that Hongju is highly
26:53professional and deeply understands the novel. Ultimately, Mrs. Bae decides that Hongju should
27:00work in Junho's studio starting next week so that they can adapt and maintain a good working relationship.
27:06Although reluctant, Hongju has no choice but to comply with the decision. Not long after,
27:12as the tide rises, Hongju suddenly strolls along the beach, prompting Hooyang to follow out of concern.
27:20Just as she nearly slips, Hooyang catches her in time to steady her. Meanwhile, Heiji and Kyoan
27:27Taek are seen dressed up, preparing to go somewhere. When Heiji's older brother arrives and asks her to
27:33look at some photos, Kyoan Taek mistakenly assumes that Heiji is about to go on a blind date set up
27:39by her
27:39brother. Back with Hongju and Hooyang, they spend a relaxing time collecting clams, sea cucumbers and
27:46octopus around the rocky shoreline. With the beach now empty and the waves rising, they decide it's
27:52best to head back to the guesthouse. Soon after, Heiji and Kyoan Taek arrive and join them. At that
27:59moment, Heiji seems downcast and her mood is noticeably off. Sensing this, Hongju invites her for a
28:07private chat along the shore. During their conversation, Heiji confesses that she isn't
28:12very close to Kyoan Taek and hasn't actually dated him. Yet, she assures Hongju that she doesn't have
28:18feelings for Hooyang either. However, she expresses another unease, feeling somewhat rejected. Heiji had
28:26invited Kyoan Taek on a date, only to be met with a response that left her uncertain. Surprised with her
28:31confession, Hongju remarks that she thought Heiji only liked handsome men. Heiji admits she's now
28:37drawn to something else. Appreciating Kyoan Taek's broad shoulders, which seemed to convey reliability
28:43and a kind heart. Soon after, dinner is then served. Hongju and Heiji then join the others to enjoy the
28:50meal together. That night, Hongju has a dream of her mother walking away with a suitcase in hand.
28:56She also sees her aunt slowly leaving her behind. Years pass in her dream, and she experiences the
29:03loss of another loved one, Junho, which reopens past wounds. Now, it seems that yet another loved one,
29:11Hooyang, is about to leave for America. As a result, she wakes up feeling unsettled. Not long after,
29:19in a plan to give Hongju and Hooyang some time alone, the others head back to Seoul without telling her.
29:24Shortly after, Hooyang is seen prepares breakfast. During this time, Hongju then makes a heartfelt
29:32request, asking him not to return to America. Her words fill him with joy, and he promises to stay.
29:39In that moment, they share a romantic kiss, hoping their feelings will remain strong. Now officially a
29:45couple, Hongju feels a bit awkward, realizing she needs time to adjust. They enjoy a cheerful lunch together
29:53at a restaurant, and that evening, they decide to return to Seoul. Upon arrival, neither wants to part ways
29:59just yet, but their moment is abruptly interrupted by Uncle Wook's arrival. Several days later, Uncle Wook is
30:06taken aback when Hooyang's mother, Do Sun, shares the news that Hooyang has officially resigned from his job in
30:12America. Hooyang confirms the decision, explaining that he truly cares for Hongju and doesn't want to leave
30:19Korea. Upon hearing this, Uncle Wook urges Hooyang to reconsider his decision. After everything that
30:26happened with his parents, the family had worked hard to make amends. For them, Hooyang and Rock Asset
30:32are both deeply precious. To abandon the company, in Uncle Wook's eyes, would mean destroying both.
30:39Hooyang understands but asks that Uncle Wook keep this a secret from Hongju. Late that night, Hooyang calls
30:46Hongju, wanting to come up to her apartment. However, embarrassed by her untidy space, Hongju declines,
30:53claiming she's already sleepy. Before ending the call, Hooyang sweetly expresses his feelings for her.
30:59The next day, Hongju accompanies Heiji to buy a gift for Kyoontake. They also spend the day together
31:05at the salon, dining, and enjoying some rice wine at Sangpil's restaurant. At the same time, Hooyang
31:12feels a twinge of jealousy that Hongju chose to spend her day with Heiji instead. As Hongju and Heiji
31:18continue their antics, Sangpil grows increasingly exasperated by their silliness. Shortly after, Hongju
31:25spots Uncle Wook heavily intoxicated and in low spirits over his first love, Mrs. Bae. At that moment,
31:33Uncle Wook is heartbroken, still bitter about being suddenly dumped by Mrs. Bae 20 years ago.
31:38As Uncle Wook rambles on, Hooyang arrives to pick up Hongju, grabbing her hand and whisking her away.
31:45The following morning, Hongju is busy selecting the perfect outfit for her date, as is Hooyang. At the
31:51same time, Heiji is preparing for a mountain hike. Her father, Baknam, usually hikes every weekend with
31:59Kyoontake, though it appears he won't be joining this time due to his absence. Baknam then showers
32:05praise on Kyoontake, describing him as an honest, respectful man, and even considering him like a
32:11son. Heiji blushes with joy, hinting to her father about her closeness to Kyoontake. Hearing this,
32:18Baknam laughs, amused, interpreting her reaction as jealousy, because he once tried setting Kyoontake
32:24up with his eldest daughter. Not long after, Hooyang and Hongju's date is suddenly interrupted by Heiji,
32:30who arrives disappointed that Kyoontake is unwell and unable to spend time with her. Frustrated,
32:37she wonders why Kyoontake doesn't seem enthusiastic about dating her, even though she's certain he likes
32:42her. Hooyang suggests she should ask him directly for confirmation. Inspired, Hongju suggests they pay
32:49a visit to Kyoontake's home, and they set off together. Meanwhile, Kyoontake is having a conversation
32:55with his mother, who urges him to start dating so he doesn't get used to doing everything alone.
33:01Soon after, they run into Heiji, who's holding a dish she brought over. During this time, Heiji politely
33:08introduces herself, and fortunately, Kyoontake's mother is quite taken with her. However, Kyoontake
33:15tries to explain that he and Heiji aren't romantically involved, disappointing both his mother and Heiji.
33:21Realizing her plan to get closer to Kyoontake isn't working as she hoped, Heiji apologizes for the
33:27disturbance and takes her leave. Elsewhere, Junho is having drinks with Baknam, who advises him to
33:34stop bothering Hongju, as he's already caused her so much sadness and heartbreak. Not only that,
33:40Baknam also stresses that Junho isn't suitable for Hongju at all, adding that if either of his daughters
33:46dated someone like Junho, he'd warned them to stay far away. Not long after, Hu Yang and Hongju are at
33:53an art gallery. At that moment, Hu Yang confides that every time Hongju calls him by his full name,
34:00his heart races as if it might leap out of his chest. He admits he's always waiting for her to
34:05say his name,
34:06which reassures him of his feelings for her. Soon after, they cut their outing short,
34:11as Hu Yang suddenly has urgent business to attend to at the office. Back in her room, Hongju opens a
34:18box
34:18and pulls out a piece of paper, the career plan she had once intended to share with Hu Yang,
34:23but never did. She reflects on the moment when she first felt her heart race because of him.
34:29Elsewhere, Hu Yang meets with his mother, Do Sun, who has unexpectedly come to Korea. Regarding his
34:35decision to resign, Do Sun mentions that she is yet to make a final decision. She's surprised to learn
34:41that her son still has feelings for the same woman, knowing that this kind of dilemma is out of
34:45character for him. However, Hu Yang asserts that from now on, he'll be making his own choices,
34:51whether they're the best for him or not. Meanwhile, Kyo An-taik finds a return package on his desk,
34:57a pair of shoes sent back by Heiji. This gesture makes him feel guilty, as he senses he may have
35:04hurt her.
35:04That morning, Hu Yang takes his mother to a destination. As they stop at a traffic light,
35:10Do Sun notices Hongju across the street. She then mutters that this is why she dislikes Seoul.
35:16It's simply too small. On another place, Kyo An-taik realizes that Heiji's apology
35:22may not be enough. She hints that she won't wait indefinitely for certainty from him.
35:28Meanwhile, Hongju begins working at Junho's studio. His space is filled with stacks of love letters,
35:34favorite books, photos capturing memories with Hongju, and even psychotropic medications. However,
35:42Hongju seems unfazed and chooses to ignore it all. Soon after, Do Sun's arrival at Rock Asset Korea
35:49creates a stir among the employees, including Uncle Wook, as she's a well-known, strict director.
35:54On the other hand, Junho attempts to express his feelings to Hongju and apologize for his past
36:00mistakes. Despite his sincere plea, Hongju remains disappointed and unable to forgive him,
36:07feeling that none of what happened was her fault. At the same time, Do Sun firmly tells her son that
36:13she won't return to America without him. Frustrated, Hu Yang responds that if she insists,
36:19he's willing to rebel or cause trouble to resist her control. Meanwhile, in Mrs. Bae's office,
36:25Hongju confidently announces her decision to step down from Junho's project, which Mrs. Bae respects
36:31without objection. Although Hongju's mood is somewhat low, spending time with Hu Yang lifts her spirits.
36:37They spend the day gaming and singing karaoke, which lightens his mood as well. Hongju then suspects
36:43that he might be stressed from work, but Hu Yang openly admits that he's resigned from his job.
36:49Shocked, she questions his decision, but he reassures her, asking her to trust him and not worry.
36:55After they part, Hu Yang, knowing Hongju wants no further involvement with Junho,
37:00deletes all files related to the animation project My Lover, Avangard,
37:04and even discards a stack of the novels. The next morning, while jogging,
37:09Hu Yang crosses paths with Hongju as she heads to work. Suddenly, Do Sun steps out of a taxi
37:15and catches sight of her son holding hands with Hongju. At that moment, Hongju bows and introduces
37:22herself. But Do Sun asks to speak privately with her son. Because of this, Hongju bids them goodbye
37:29and leaves. Soon after, Uncle Wook arrives, having been summoned by Hu Yang regarding his mother's sudden
37:36visit. Do Sun's firm decision to stay in Korea leaves Uncle Wook frustrated, as he had hoped she would
37:42return to America. Out of concern for Hongju, Uncle Wook texts her, advising her to avoid Do Sun as much
37:50as possible. Later, Hu Yang meets Hongju as she returns from work, confirming Uncle Wook's message.
37:56Feeling uneasy, Hongju wonders if she should stay with Heiji for a while, sensing that Hu Yang's mother
38:02may not like her. However, Hu Yang assures her that there's no need to leave, and encourages her not
38:08to worry. Afterward, Hu Yang goes to Sang Pill's restaurant for lunch, but finds it bustling with
38:14customers. He decides to help out, but unaccustomed to heavy work, he ends up breaking a few bowls.
38:21Embarrassed, he promises to pay for the damages. Over time, his good looks attract playful attention from
38:27some customers, who can't resist teasing him as he works. Meanwhile, as Uncle Wook is about to leave
38:33the office, he spots Mrs. Bay and tries to strike up a conversation, attempting to get closer to her.
38:39Mrs. Bay warns him to stop bothering her, but suddenly, Uncle Wook leans in, his face close to
38:46hers as if he's about to kiss her. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bay closes her eyes instinctively, only to realize it
38:53was a misunderstanding, leaving her flustered and irritated. At the same time, Hongju is annoyed to
39:00find Junho standing in front of her apartment, flying paper planes made from love letters he wrote
39:0513 years ago. Because of this, Hongju warns him to stop clinging to the past, and to dispose of these
39:12remnants of their memories. Junho, however, hands her the stack of paper planes, asking her to be the
39:19one to throw them away, since they represent his feelings. Just then, one of the planes accidentally
39:25hits Do-sun in the face as she observes them, overhearing their conversation. As Hongju gathers
39:31the scattered paper planes, Do-sun remarks that it seems Hongju has a rather complicated love life.
39:37Do-sun then warns that Hongju is not suitable for her son, reminding her that Hu-yang will soon
39:44take over the headquarters of Rock Asset, and is destined for great success. She then asks Hongju
39:49to let Hu-yang go. However, Hongju replies that everything Hu-yang has done has been his own choice,
39:55and that ever since they reunited after 13 years, he has been consistently caring and sweet to her.
40:01She insists she won't give up on their relationship, but Do-sun cautions her to end it before she gets
40:06hurt.
40:07Soon after, Hu-yang approaches Hongju, who is visibly upset. He urges her to trust him more,
40:13reassuring her that he is capable of handling his own choices. After learning about Hongju's
40:19challenges with Jun-ho from Heiji and Sang-pil, he also encourages her to be more open about her
40:25struggles. However, Hongju insists that she's already dealt with it, and feeling misunderstood,
40:31retreats into her apartment. Later that day, Hongju waits outside a high school for Heiji to finish
40:37teaching. Watching two students try to skip class stirs memories of her own past with Hu-yang.
40:44Reflecting on Hu-yang's care and concern for her, she feels guilty for her actions the previous night.
40:50As a result, over lunch, Hongju confides in Heiji about her issues with Hu-yang.
40:55At that moment, Heiji reassures her that Hu-yang has no intention of leaving her or going back to
41:01America, despite his mother's pressure. Meanwhile, Sang-pil visits Hu-yang at home,
41:07concerned about his low spirits. As a result, he prepares a meal for them, and as they eat,
41:13they talk. Sang-pil shares that, when Hongju was drunk, she revealed that she often has recurring
41:19nightmares. Since childhood, she's dreamt of people and places, always chasing after them,
41:25as they seem to disappear without saying goodbye, leaving her feeling anxious and abandoned.
41:31Meanwhile, Kyo-on-take steps in a block of ball headed straight for Heiji, resulting in a bruised
41:37and injured face. While treating his wounds in the school clinic, Kyo-on-take finally confesses his
41:43feelings, telling Heiji that he loves her. Hearing this, Heiji accepts his feelings, and they decide to
41:49start dating. During this time, Kyo-on-take admits he feels guilty for having hurt her feelings in the
41:55past. Elsewhere, Hu-yang and Hongju are enjoying dinner together, with Hongju complimenting the
42:00delicious ramen Hu-yang made. She thinks Hu-yang seems talented in many things, but believes he
42:06might be better suited to live in America, as she doesn't want him to jeopardize his career.
42:11Hu-yang gently explains that he too, has weaknesses, and that being with Hongju has helped him understand
42:16what he truly wants and doesn't want in life. In a way, he feels that dreams feel closer to reality
42:23when he's with her. Hu-yang shares that his parents divorced when he was in 11th grade,
42:28which led him to move to America, hoping to spare his mother from further pain.
42:32The next day, Do-sun catches her son leaving Hongju's apartment, but she says nothing, merely walking
42:38away. As Hongju heads to work, she hurries to catch up with Do-sun to walk alongside her.
42:44Hoping to build a better relationship for the sake of her connection with Hu-yang,
42:49she expresses that she not only cares deeply for Hu-yang, but also respects and admires Do-sun.
42:55Later, Hu-yang decides to join Yeju Investment, Uncle Wook's company. Uncle Wook also advises Do-sun
43:02to be more understanding of her son, reminding her that Hu-yang is only trying to be more independent.
43:09Meanwhile, Kyo-an-taik tells his fellow teachers that he doesn't have a girlfriend,
43:13which frustrates He-ji. While Kyo-an-taik prefers to keep their relationship private,
43:18He-ji insists she isn't worried about rumors spreading. Despite this, they both still feel
43:24awkward around others when they are together. That night, Hongju spends time with Hu-yang,
43:29sharing an open-hearted conversation. At that moment, she recalls realizing she had feelings for
43:35him back in high school, and remembering these moments makes her blush. The next morning,
43:40Do-sun suddenly visits Hongju's apartment and hands her an envelope. In the background,
43:46Hu-yang notices his mother's suitcase in the living room. It turned out, Do-sun announces she's
43:51decided to return to America, as the headquarters requires one of them to be there. She also reveals
43:57that the true reason they moved to America 10 years ago was because of the opportunities there for
44:03both of them. Confident in her son's abilities, she acknowledges that she's rarely interfered in his
44:08decisions, knowing he can solve his own problems. However, she adds that she plans to file a petition
44:14moving forward, though the real intention of it remains unclear. Unexpectedly, Do-sun accuses her son
44:21of using insider information to secure investments, suggesting that his return to Korea was also business
44:27motivated, especially since she hasn't yet accepted his resignation. Despite this, she doesn't want trivial
44:34issues to disrupt his future. Not only that, the envelope she gave him contains a credit card,
44:40signaling her subtle acceptance of Hongju's presence in his life. Do-sun then expresses her hope that
44:47Hongju will eventually join Hu-yang in America, confident that, with Hongju by his side, Hu-yang will
44:53feel more assured as he faces challenges, including the upcoming legal battle. Later, Hongju discusses this
45:00with Bok-nam, Heiji's father, admitting her deep affection for Hu-yang and her desire to build a
45:06life with him. She doesn't want to miss this opportunity, but feels uncertain about moving to
45:11America. Hearing this, Bok-nam reassures her that facing the challenges of a new environment together
45:17can ease the burden and advises her to consider the decision carefully. Some time later, in front of Bok-nam
45:24and some colleagues, Kyo-an-taik shows his romantic side, boldly announcing his relationship with Heiji,
45:30and even declaring he plans to marry her. Overjoyed, Bok-nam quickly gives his blessing.
45:36At Sang-pil's restaurant, Uncle Wook orchestrates a setup to sit with Mrs. Bae,
45:41and it seems she's warming up to him again. As a result, they share a cozy, romantic meal together.
45:48Meanwhile, Hu-yang confides that he can't imagine life without Hongju, just as he can't imagine life
45:55without his mother. He expresses his hope that Hongju will join him in America. Although Hongju feels
46:02similarly, she apologizes, admitting that the idea of moving abroad ways on her. Hu-yang understands and
46:09gives her a novel he retrieved from the trash. Once she had thrown out, a memento urging her to
46:15continue pursuing her dreams. Hu-yang then explains that his stay in America will be temporary.
46:21He plans to enjoy memorable moments with her. Together, they envision dining out, decorating a
46:27Christmas tree, taking photos, and watching animated films. The next day, Hongju shares that Hu-yang will
46:34be returning to America for a short while. Heiji worries that he may not return, leaving Hongju waiting
46:41indefinitely. But Hongju believes in his sincerity. Ever since he entered her life, each day has felt
46:47brighter and more fulfilling. On Christmas Eve, they celebrate joyfully, officially marking the start
46:54of their relationship. The following day, as Hu-yang prepares to depart for America, Hongju surprises him
47:01at the airport, revealing her decision to go with him. Overjoyed, Hu-yang rushes to her, and they share a
47:07heartfelt, romantic kiss. Moral lesson from the story, if you avoid someone long enough,
47:13they'll just assume you're mysterious and wise instead of just scared and awkward. Sometimes
47:19love is like fishing. You wait forever, then realize you forgot the bait.
