Their relationship starts to change when Ha-eun falls in love with her classmate Jin-woo (BYEON Woo-seok) in their late teenage years. The free-spirited Mi-so leaves for the city to pursue an adventurous life while Ha-eun stays in her hometown to lead a quiet life, and the two gradually grow apart.
