Haena’s father died when she was little, and her mother Inhui – Haena’s only remaining family member – passes away. Feeling like every day is a painful ordeal, Haena decides to commit suicide and jumps off the Seongsan Bridge, but she only ends up seriously injuring herself. Meanwhile, Eunjae is a bestselling author with terminal cancer. Since the death of Inhui, the love of his life, he has nothing to live for anymore, apart from writing novels. Before she died, Inhui asked Eunjae to look after her daughter, Haena. Eunjae meets Haena and tries to restore meaning in her life.
