Go Hae Kyung (Jeon Yeo Been) thought that her dreams slowly came true when suddenly she was diagnosed with critical illness and had to do big operation to save her life. Since then she was never be the same. One day she met a misterious guy named Ki...
It was a bright sunny day in Milan at the first day of May. The wind blew softly signing the spring is coming. The sound chirping was heard everywhere. What a perfect day to go outside and enjoy the city. Tourists could be seen here and there enjoying the beauty of european architecture except one.
"Yoboseyo, appaeodiso?" (Hello, Where are you dad?)
"I am the one who should ask you that Cha Young-ah. Where were you? I've been looking for you for hours,"
"Mianhe* appa, I got starstruck by trevi fountain. I don't realize that our group tour have moved away," (sorry)
"Aish... you should know that we follow the tour so we have to stick to the schedule and the tour guide. wait there Cha Young-ah, I will pick you up at free time. It should be in one hour."
"Algeuseumnidaappa,"then she closed the phone. (I understand dad)
Hong Cha Young wasn't fully honest. It was not only the fountain that made her starstruck but also one man. The man who played guitar and sang her favourite song that she couldn't find.
*Flashback on*
"Here it is, the famous Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain or Fontana di Trevi in Italian is 18th-century fountain which was designed by Italian architecy Nicola Salvi, completed by Giuseppe Pannini and several others. It is the largest baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world,"said the tour guide in fluent Korea.
"Legend has it, tossing one coin into the Trevi Fountain means you'll return to The Eternal City (Rome), tossing two coins means you'll return and fall in love, and tossing three coins means you'll return, find love, and marry," she continued.
Hearing that, Hong Cha Young just laughed a little. What a silly myth she thought. Of course as a lawyer wanna be she tend to be logical and didn't believe in such a nonsense. However, she had to admit that the fountain was so beautiful. She took her phone and started to take picture until she heard a familiar melody.
"And I will take you in my arms.."
Somehow her heart starts beating fast. The voice is so familiar.
"And hold you right where you belong.."
She tried to find the source of the sound. Suddenly she felt overwhelmed by longing. Slowly tears fell from her eyes.
'Til the day my life is through This I promise you This I promise you"
She was so confused with herself. She tried to find the source of the voice but she couldn't find it until she didn't realize that she was separated from her group tour.
*flashback off*
"Hah... what's wrong with me today?," Cha Young asked herself while taking water bottle from her bag just to find out that it's empty.
Cha Young walked around to find free water tap to fill it in. She then walked to the right side of Trevi fountain and found two small water spout that cross before filling in a stone basin. She walk to the spout and fold her hand to contained the water to drink. At the same time, a man did the same thing with her.

"Oops... sorry,"she said in English.
"It's okay. I'm done anyway," he said smiling and walking away.
Cha Young still looked at the man until he arrived at the near bench with guitar on it. She didn't know why she couldn't look away from him. Then he sit at the bench and tuned his guitar. After awhile he start to play it and sang.

"I've loved you forever In lifetimes before And I promise you never Will you hurt anymore I give you my world I give you my heart This is a battle we've won And with this vow Forever has now begun"
Hong Cha Young froze at her place hearing his voice. The voice she had been searching for hours before. Her tears fell without reason. The man looked back to Cha Young. Their eyes locked and somehow a glimpse of memory appeared slightly in Cha Young minds. This man had played this song to her once before, many years ago, looked like a different lifetime. His stares like a magnet to her so she walked to him unconsciously. Indeed, she had fell in love with him.
"Hm, just wanna say that your voice is so beautiful. Mi chiamo* Hong Cha Young,"she reached out her hand, introducing herself. (*my name is Hong Cha Young)
"Grazie. Io sono Vincenzo, Vincenzo Cassano," he said, shaking her hand and smiling. (Thank you. I am Vincenzo, Vincenzo Cassano)
-------- "Then let's find each other again in the next life. I will love you first. And I will definitely make you love me" ----------
Fun facts : The fountain where Vincenzo & Cha Young drink together is called FontanelladegliInnamorati or Fountain of Love. Legend said if couples drink together from this fountain, they will remain in love and faithful forever
