Synopsis
Hyehwa and Hansoo were in love when they were 18 years old in high school. However, Hansoo disappeared without a word after finding out she was pregnant. 5 years later Hansoo shows up in front of her. He asks her for forgiveness and tells her that their baby they thought were dead is alive. Hyehwa does not believe what he says due to the wound she is still getting over but she is helplessly swayed hearing the child has been adopted.
