A year after the tragic loss of her fiancé, Kang Hyera returns to her hometown, working at Little Stars Academy, a quiet preschool that brings her a sense of peace. Still wearing the ring he gave her, she spends her days tending to small hands and bigger feelings, silently grieving the future she thought she'd have.
That's when Hyera runs into Park Jongseong, the boy she once loved in high school and early university. The one she let go when their lives pulled them in different directions. Their breakup had been mutual, respectful... but no less heartbreaking. The definition of right person, wrong time.
Now, years later, he's standing in front of her, holding a child's hand, and still, somehow, unmistakably him-stirring feelings she thought she'd long put to rest. Their lives have changed, but something between them feels just as it always did.
As the days unfold, Hyera finds herself caught between honoring the love she lost and reaching for a second chance she never expected. Grief doesn't vanish-but maybe, just maybe, there's room for something new to bloom beside it.
