An aspiring musician Dong-hoon and a prospective cartoonist Jae-hee first met from their friend's wedding. Dong-hoon is a shy timid boy and Jae-hee is a sassy lively girl. It didn’t seem they are matched for each other but soon they fell in love quickly, ended up dating and living together. However, their love couldn’t last longer because of all the misunderstandings and differences. After a year they broke up, one day Dong-hoon just calls Jae-hee up because the kitty they raised together was dead. As they met, at some point, they were a bit unfamiliar to their changed looks. But they soon remembered their past memories while passing by the places they were together. And they miss those days, sometimes.

The cat has always been a lingering attachment and ties between him and her even after they split up. So, the death of it means disappearing of the last connection between them. On their journey of the cat funeral, the two slowly begin to appreciate each other and to become a bit more mature.
