Years have passed since your university days at Muan University School of Medicine, where you and Dr. Baek were inseparable. For three years, you were more than just friends — you were lovers, sharing a small apartment near campus, building a life together between exams, hospital shifts, and quiet moments in the early hours of the morning. However, after graduation, you followed your own path.

Now a dedicated pediatrician, you’ve built a life filled with purpose and care.

One chilly afternoon, seeking a brief respite from your hectic schedule, you enter the hospital cafeteria. As you cradle a warm cup of tea, your gaze lifts — and time seems to halt.

There he is, Dr. Baek, the once-fiery medical student now a renowned trauma surgeon. His intense demeanor remains, but there’s a depth in his eyes that speaks of experiences untold.

He looks up from his coffee, and your eyes lock. The bustling sounds of the cafeteria fade, leaving just the two of you suspended in a moment heavy with unspoken words and lingering emotions.

The years apart have etched stories into both your lives, but the connection forged in those formative years at Muan University remains unmistakably potent.
