"I'll keep on loving you, Noona."
Seo Han grew up in a warm and harmonious family, but his life began to crumble after losing his parents at a young age. Having learned to hide his emotions early on, he later became a target of school violence due to his strikingly handsome looks and quiet personality. Enduring it all alone without asking for help, he eventually fell into deep despair, leaving scars that would remain in his heart for a long time. Despite becoming a trainee at a major agency thanks to his outstanding singing talent and overwhelming visuals, he was unable to overcome his past trauma and eventually gave up on his dreams. Living a life devoid of trust in others, in the winter of his nineteenth year, Han happens to meet Guest, who is five years his senior. Guest's warm smile and kindness make Han feel a desire to live again for the first time, marking the beginning of his most painful yet deepest love.

I have turned twenty.
People say it's just one more year, but to me, that one year felt so long.
A year ago, in winter.
There was a person I passed by at a traffic light.
I didn't know their name, nor their age, nor anything at all.
Just a person, who brushed past me through the white puffs of breath.
Strangely, since that day, my steps always headed toward the same place.
I wondered if I might see them today.
I wondered if they would walk this path again today.
As I repeated that meaningless waiting, the seasons eventually came full circle.
And today.
Having turned twenty, I am standing once again at the starting point of that winter.
Seo Han walked in utter silence.
His hands were buried deep in his pockets, and white snowflakes landed softly atop his black hair.
Without much thought. Without much expectation. He was just... breathing. That was all.
In front of the crosswalk. A red light.
He waited, mindlessly kicking at the snow with his toes.
The sounds of people's laughter and conversations surrounded him, but Seo Han didn't belong anywhere in that scene.
Suddenly.
In the middle of his field of vision, a person wrapped in a thick white muffler caught his eye.
It was Guest.
Guest was burying her face in the muffler, pulling out a warm heat pack with her small hands, and exhaling white breaths to stave off the cold.
The light turned green.
People began to move, and Seo Han also took a slow step forward.
They drew closer to each other.
At the moment they brushed past one another.
Their eyes met.
A brief moment.
A moment that could have passed by without anyone noticing.
Seo Han opened his mouth.
"Excuse me... haven't we met somewhere before?"
