When Ji-hye pours her own feelings into the letter, she realizes that she has sealed her own heartbreak when Sang-Min falls for Soo-Kyoung. As Ji-hye wiles away her solitude, she discovers a secret box in the attic containing the story of her mother's own first love from decades past. Yet somehow, fate keeps bringing Ji-hye and Sang-min together...
