Until one evening.
A simple glance at a girl sitting in a cafΓ© leaves him restless in a way he has never felt before. He tries to ignore it, convince himself it means nothing, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to forget her.
And just when he thinks he'll never see her again, she walks into his hospital as a new intern.
