00:00They were in love for 11 whole years, yet their reunions couldn't even fill a single season.
00:05In their on-and-off love story, there was sweetness in the pain, and a hidden sting in the sweetness.
00:12But every reunion felt like the flutter of a first love.
00:16If I'm the red mole on your chest, then you're the beam of moonlight in my life.
00:22The story begins in the winter of 1994. At dawn, near Christmas, a small bakery had just opened.
00:30A high school student, Hyunwoo, walked in through the door.
00:36But tofu was rarely sold in the bakery, so Misu suggested he go to the grocery store ahead.
00:43But just as Hyunwoo walked out, he suddenly stopped.
00:57After a brief pause, Hyunwoo stepped outside.
01:01Meanwhile, Misu and her sister talked about the unfamiliar boy.
01:05In Korea, people buying tofu early in the morning are usually those who just got out of prison or juvenile
01:11detention.
01:12They eat tofu after release to get rid of bad luck.
01:15Sure enough, not long after, Hyunwoo walked by holding tofu.
01:20And as he passed the bakery, he stared intently at the job advertisement.
01:25Unexpectedly, he came back in the evening to apply for the job.
01:29Although his quiet, expressionless demeanor startled Misu, her older sister was kind and warm-hearted.
01:35She didn't press him about why he had been locked up.
01:37Seeing how diligent and nimble he was, she agreed to hire him.
01:43From then on, the small bakery had one more person.
01:46In the days they spent together, the sister's kindness and warmth influenced Hyunwoo.
01:51So he began to share his past.
01:54It happened during his third year in high school.
01:57Hyunwoo was goofing around on the rooftop with friends.
02:00One friend accidentally fell.
02:02Because Hyunwoo was closest to him, he was accused of pushing him.
02:06Others who didn't know the truth insisted it was him.
02:09So he ended up in juvenile detention.
02:11While in detention, he listened to a radio program every morning at 9am during breakfast.
02:17Hyunwoo would pray at that time.
02:19Hoping that when he got out, both he and the world would be different.
02:23But after his release, he realized he no longer fit in at school.
02:26He was like a lonely soul wandering the streets.
02:30Beside him were golden trees just like those in prison.
02:33Reflecting the desolate feel of autumn and winter.
02:35And the red traffic light on the pole, symbolizing standstill.
02:39But just three minutes after Hyunwoo and Misu first met,
02:43a new DJ, Yu Yale, replaced the host of the radio show.
02:47For Hyunwoo, it felt like a miracle.
02:50Maybe he needed something to hold on to.
02:52Or maybe it was just a passing impulse.
02:54Stuck in the mire, Hyunwoo suddenly felt this was heaven's gift-hand opportunity to start over.
03:00From then on, his life at the bakery took on a new light.
03:04He earnestly asked Misu's sister how to make bread.
03:07And carefully prepared samples of new products for customers to try.
03:11In their spare time, the bored sisters would often tease Hyunwoo for fun.
03:15Over time, feelings began to grow between him and Misu.
03:18They would sit at the doorway during rainy days, listening to the radio together.
03:23But even though there were mutual feelings, it never went beyond shy smiles exchanged.
03:28Still, Hyunwoo handsome looks brought in many young female fans to the bakery.
03:33Business became better than ever.
03:35And the jealous Misu would often drive away those girls with a hint of possessiveness.
03:40As if declaring, this is my territory.
03:43Though it was cold outside, the bakery was filled with warmth and the sweet scent of bread.
03:49But everything shattered on Christmas Day.
03:52Hyunwoo old gang ran into him at the bakery.
03:54They all came in to greet him.
03:56But their loud chatter got them sternly kicked out by Misu's sister.
04:00Out of old loyalty, Hyunwoo wanted to treat them to a meal.
04:05As both a reunion and a farewell.
04:07So before he left, he asked Misu's sister for an advance on his pay.
04:11At that moment, Misu sat in a corner, her eyes filled with sorrow and resignation.
04:17After Hyunwoo left, Misu stared out the window and said a single word to her sister.
04:28Her face showed a bit of sadness and disappointment, as if she had just sent off a passing traveler.
04:34But after that day, Hyunwoo truly never came back.
04:38Maybe in that era, love shattered before it could even be taken seriously.
04:43That night, during dinner with his old friends, Hyunwoo had thought they had matured.
04:47But during a brief tribute to their deceased friend, they revealed the same reckless immaturity as before.
05:01Even though Hyunwoo tried to suppress his anger, he could not bear their disrespect toward the departed.
05:07So once again, he returned to juvenile detention.
05:11Meanwhile, every night, Misu leaned against the bakery door, gazing outside through the glass.
05:17As if waiting for someone to appear suddenly from the distant street.
05:21That was their first separation.
05:23Hyunwoo left for detention so suddenly, he didn't even leave a simple way to contact him.
05:28Not long after, a financial crisis swept the country.
05:33Misu's family bakery was also affected and closed down.
05:36Time flew by.
05:38Soon it was the winter of 1997.
05:42Misu now had long hair and was about to graduate with a degree in Korean literature.
05:47In front of her were two job options.
05:50A stable editing job at a printing house or a part-time role at a radio station.
05:55To support herself, Misu chose the printing job because her older sister had supported her education all these years by
06:02running a humble street stall.
06:04Misu also wanted to have a stable income to help support the family.
06:08The difficult days brought by the financial crisis seemed to be slowly improving.
06:13She ran to share the good news with her sister, smiling.
06:16At night, she walked to the now-closed bakery, silently praying in front of the closed door that everything would
06:22get better.
06:23But at that moment, someone called out to her from behind.
06:33Oh, Hyunwoo!
06:34It turned out that Hyunwoo, getting out of juvenile detention, found the bakery had already closed.
06:40To increase his chances of running into Misu again, he took a part-time job as a mover near the
06:46bakery.
06:46In fact, every reunion after a long separation is never just a coincidence.
06:52After a few long-awaited greetings, Hyunwoo asked Misu to wait for him at the bakery for a few minutes.
06:58He had to escort an elderly man with poor eyesight home.
07:02After doing so, he happily ran to meet Misu again.
07:06He only slowed down to a walk when he was just in front of her.
07:10That night, their reunion after a long time was especially emotional.
07:14Under the warm, dim light, they leaned on each other.
07:17Sometimes, liking someone doesn't need many words.
07:20The joy in their eyes already said it all.
07:23But this reunion was destined to be short-lived.
07:26Because Hyunwoo had to enlist early the next morning.
07:29After talking endlessly, they returned to Misu home.
07:33One slept on the bed, the other on the floor.
07:36The room was dark.
07:38Only the heater glowed with a warm orange light.
08:05After a brief pause, Hyunwoo explained everything.
08:09He had really wanted to return to the bakery.
08:12He really, really wanted to.
08:14But after leaving that day, he got into an argument with a drunk person.
08:18And ended up back in juvenile detention.
08:21After hearing this, Misu called his name.
08:24They looked at each other in the dark, held hands, and said goodnight.
08:28They didn't expect this goodbye would last for years again.
08:32Late that night, Misu created an email account for Hyunwoo.
08:36The address was dubu1001.
08:39The 1st of October was the day they first met.
08:42Dubu means tofu in Korean.
08:44And that was nickname for Hyunwoo.
08:46The next morning, Misu gave the email address to Hyunwoo.
08:50Before they parted, Hyunwoo mustered his courage and kissed Misu.
08:54It was their first kiss.
08:57Awkward but full of longing.
08:58Their hearts full of feelings.
09:00They were like butterflies fluttering toward gold.
09:03This was their second farewell.
09:05But when Hyunwoo opened the note with the email address, there was no password written on it.
09:10Misu's small oversight made their second separation even longer.
09:14Even though the email inbox was never opened and always unread, in the days after their farewell, Misu kept writing
09:21again and again through spring and fall.
09:23In the past, days passed slowly.
09:27Letters and messages were slow.
09:28And even after countless goodbyes, she only wished to see Hyunwoo again.
09:34Misu knew he liked listening to the radio too.
09:36So she left a message on a tearful music album show.
09:39The 1st of October.
09:41Dubu.
09:41Misu.
09:41I miss you.
09:43I miss you.
09:44I miss you.
10:02Even though Hyunwoo visited Misu when he was on military leave, Misu had already moved away for work.
10:08And so, they completely lost contact.
10:12Winter passed.
10:13And summer came.
10:15Misu continued to send messages without replies.
10:18Writing about her daily life and how much she missed him.
10:21Time flew by.
10:22Before she knew it, it was spring of 2000.
10:25By then, Hyunwoo had completed his service.
10:29But just like when the bakery closed down, he could no longer find Misu.
10:34Still longing for the one he loved.
10:35He chose to rent the apartment Misu once lived in.
10:39When the landlord told him the door lock code, he suddenly realized something.
10:44Misu had never changed the lock code.
10:46So he tried using that same code to open the email account.
10:50Sure enough, the next second, something amazing happened he finally opened the email.
10:55As he read the letters that filled the inbox, it was as if he had recovered all those lost years.
11:01He kept reading until he fell asleep in front of the computer.
11:05Naturally, this led to a long-awaited reunion.
11:08But little did they know, the joy and surprise of reconnecting would soon be shattered by reality.
11:14They didn't even get to meet face to face.
11:17Hyunwoo replied to Misu email.
11:19They arranged a phone call at 6pm.
11:21Over the phone, they exchanged long overdue greetings, and promised to have a long talk after work that evening.
11:28But when the evening came, Misu sat in her office dialing Hyun, Woo's phone again and again.
11:35Yet no one ever answered on the other end.
11:37It turned out that the job introduced to Hyunwoo by a friend was a scam.
11:41Customers came and trashed the store, and everyone was taken to the police station.
11:46By the time the matter was cleared up, Hyunwoo was released.
11:50He turned away from his friend who had come to pick him up and screamed in frustration.
11:57After that, Hyunwoo walked away without looking back.
12:01Back home, Hyunwoo sat in front of the computer, wanting to explain everything to Misu.
12:06He received an email from Misu saying goodbye.
12:09Misu wasn't actually angry that he didn't show up.
12:12She knew something must have happened.
12:14But while waiting for his call, she suddenly realized she couldn't reunite with Hyunwoo like this.
12:20Because she didn't feel happy at all.
12:22Her life was miserable.
12:24Her sister was still running a street stall at the corner.
12:27Her own dull, meaningless job brought nothing but a regular paycheck.
12:32She wrote, crying in the dark, that her current situation was just too terrible.
12:37She couldn't handle a romantic reunion like this.
12:40She asked to reconnect only when something good happened.
12:43But long separations often come with rose-tinted lenses.
12:47And under those lenses, neither of them had become the person they hoped to be.
12:52Hyunwoo wanted to explain why he missed the call.
12:55But after typing one sentence, he quietly deleted it.
12:59Because he didn't want to show his pain and failure to the one he loved.
13:02This was their third separation.
13:05Spring passed.
13:06Autumn came.
13:07In a flash, it was 2005.
13:10Misu left the printing house.
13:12She started a publishing company with her boss.
13:15Hyunwoo also started a video production company with a senior colleague.
13:19Coincidentally, Hyunwoo office was right below Misu.
13:22This unexpected coincidence brought them back together again.
13:49They didn't know what to say at first
13:51But Misu simply smiled and followed the man she thought she had lost back home
13:55It turned out Hyun Woo was still living in that second floor apartment
13:59The mystery was finally solved
14:01It was this apartment that gave him access to the email account
14:05At this stage both Hyun Woo and Misu were doing well
14:08These two who had missed each other for so long could finally do the things couples do
14:13Misu wore his t-shirt
14:14They whispered sweet nothings to each other on the balcony
14:17They held hands while grocery shopping
14:20They lay on the floor together reading comics
14:23The sunlight was warm
14:24They smiled happily
14:26Hyun Woo even pasted Misu's photo on the ceiling
14:30So during breaks from work
14:32Every time he looked up
14:33He could see the face and smile of the woman he loved
14:36One evening
14:37The sweetness of love gave Misu the courage to say to Hyun Woo she want to marry
14:41But what she received in return was Hyun Woo long silence
14:46How could Hyun Woo not want to marry Misu?
14:48It's just that there were still too many unresolved problems in reality
14:52That night Hyun Woo held Misu in his arms and couldn't fall asleep for a long time
14:58A friend from the past had died from a fall
15:00But he was accused of murder
15:02It had always been a knot in his heart that he couldn't untangle
15:05Although he was the one who suffered most after that incident
15:08Now he was the only one living a good life
15:11He had worked hard to get into college
15:14He had a decent job and a stable relationship
15:17But then an old friend came to reopen old wounds
15:20Because it was the anniversary of their friend's death
15:23They brought Hyun Woo to the house of the deceased friend's sister
15:27If you don't think about it outside, you can only think about it
15:30We're a little bit of a smile
15:34You don't have a smile
15:36You don't have a smile
15:37I really didn't have a smile
15:41I really didn't have a smile
15:47I didn't have a smile
15:47I didn't have a smile
15:48I didn't have a smile
15:53I didn't have a smile
15:56I didn't have a smile
16:01I didn't know
16:03I didn't know
16:03I didn't know
16:04I didn't know
16:04I didn't know
16:04I didn't know
16:04I said to him
16:04I said to him
16:05I said to him
16:06On the way home, Hyun Woo accidentally left his phone in a friend's car
16:11When the friend returned the phone, Misu seemed to sense something
16:15So the next day, she asked Hyun Woo friend to take her there
16:18But the deceased friend's sister had already moved out
16:22That night, Misu brought it up with Hyun Woo
16:25She wanted to persuade him to let go of the past and live well
16:28But Hyun Woo still didn't want to talk about that wound
16:32Perhaps he didn't want Misu to reopen it either
16:35Hyun Woo had done nothing wrong
16:37Yet he kept getting dragged back into the swamp again and again
16:41Hyun Woo loved Misu so deeply
16:43That he didn't want her to know about his disgraceful past
16:47Misu loved Hyun Woo so much
16:49That she wanted to know everything about his past
16:52Even the painful parts
16:54After being sent to juvenile detention, he dropped out of high school
16:57His life spiraled into a mess from then on
17:00No matter how hard he struggled, there was no relief
17:03Because no one cared about the truth
17:06And no one believed the truth
17:08Even though he visited the sister every year
17:11Even though he said over and over again
17:13It wasn't me
17:14It wasn't me
17:15The accident had already happened
17:17The sister had lost her brother forever
17:19He just wanted a normal life
17:21And a normal life meant the people around him didn't know about his past
17:25Both Hyun Woo and Misu carried heavy burdens in life
17:28That's why their hearts were filled with anxiety
17:31And they cherished everything they had
17:33But fate kept playing tricks on them
17:35Dragging them back into darkness over and over again
17:38Every time they climbed out, looking up at the sky
17:41Yet Misu still ended up leaving Hyun Woo
17:45Meanwhile, Misu boss finally began to pursue her
17:48He offered to help her reopen the bakery and offer she found hard to refuse
17:53When Hyun Woo realized he had hurt Misu
17:55He was filled with regret
17:57But by the time he came to his senses
17:59He saw Misu about to get into her boss luxury car
18:02He shouted her name loudly
18:04But Misu resolutely got into the car
18:07As the car drove away
18:09Hyun Woo ran after it desperately
18:11And Misu couldn't hold back her tears of heartbreak
18:14In the end, Misu decided to get out of the car
18:16She chose to give Hyun Woo another chance to talk
18:19Perhaps only time can truly test their love
18:22Perhaps only time can heal Hyun Woo wounds
18:25She cried as she said goodbye
18:35Misu crying made Hyun Woo speechless
18:38Consumed by pain, Hyun Woo stood still
18:41Hating himself for being trapped in his painful past
18:44And for failing to hold on to his precious love
18:47This marked their fourth separation
18:49Years later, Hyun Woo, through hard work
18:52Became a photographer for Yoo Yeol's music program
18:56And Misu, his former lover
18:57Still listened to the show every day
18:59It was the very program that marked the start of their first love
19:03Over the years they remained bound by an invisible red thread
19:07That day, the program theme was
19:09The person you miss
19:10And DJ Yoo Yeol casually asked Hyun Woo
19:13And without thinking
19:15Hyun Woo said Misu name
19:17What he didn't expect was that on the other end
19:20Misu happened to be listening
19:22Only then did she realize that Hyun Woo love for her had never changed
19:26Hadn't she missed that boy all these years too?
19:29To preserve something beautiful
19:31She had worked hard
19:32Moving forward so she wouldn't live with regret
19:35She needed music to open her heart
19:37At that moment, Misu couldn't hold back anymore and ran out of the office
19:42This time, she didn't want to be apart from him again
19:45The two of them, who used to walk gently under the breeze
19:49Now ran desperately toward each other
19:51That's the most beautiful kind of trust
19:54When she arrived outside the radio station
19:56Through the glass window
19:58They both felt the intensity of their love
20:01Someone who loves you will run to see you
20:03What could be more beautiful than that?
20:06Over these eleven years
20:07They were separated four times
20:09And met four times
20:11The actual time they spent together didn't even fill a single season
20:15He carried the burden of a wrongful past
20:17Moving forward with guilt as his lifeline
20:20Two broken chapters became the prologue to each other's stories
20:24Their bond started from a lonely radio show
20:27And progressed through nights together
20:28They progressed from stolen glances
20:31To kisses on the tip of the nose
20:32To love is to accept the bitter moments like iced Americanos
20:36But still wanting to give each other sweet love like a donut
20:40Whether at life's peak or its lowest point
20:42When you love someone to the bone and can't let go
20:45You hold on without regret
20:47If you never try
20:48You'll never understand how precious life and love can be
20:52Let the light guide you home under the moonlight
20:54Igniting your passion
20:56And I will walk this path with you
20:59Thank you for watching
21:00See you in the next video
21:01Don't forget to subscribe and have a day full of love
