Plot
editThough his college life has ended, Yong-jun finds himself at a loss, with neither a clear dream nor any ambitions to pursue. Pressured by his mother, he reluctantly takes up a part-time job delivering lunchboxes, where he encounters Yeo-reum, his perfect ideal type.
Overcoming his shyness, Yong-jun approaches Yeo-reum with clumsy but honest sincerity. Meanwhile, Yeo-reum's younger sister, Ga-eul, cheers on Yong-jun’s courage.
To get closer to Yeo-reum, who communicates with her hands, Yong-jun strives to see and feel more deeply rather than just listening. But just as he feels they've grown closer, Yeo-reum begins to distance herself from him for reasons unknown.
