), a student at the same university, when she asks to borrow his umbrella in a rainstorm. It is love at first sight for In-woo, and they start dating after only a couple of weeks. Tae-hee dies suddenly in a car crash.

17 years later, In-woo is married to another woman with a daughter, and is working as a highschool teacher. He starts to notice similarities between a new student of his, Hyunbin, and Taehee. Inwoo struggles with the concept of falling in love with his student, and they both get bullied by other students at the school for being homosexual.
