A flashback to Jeju Island in 1993 is the beginning of the story between Ji-seok and Mi-yeon, two individuals destined to frequently cross paths throughout the ups and downs of their lives. Although their feelings continuously grow for one another, their familial connection challenges their ability to be together.

After Ji-seok and Mi-yeon cross paths on the street and confess their love for one another, they propose a plan to move to the United States. However, plans change as Ji-seok is confronted by his father the day before they are due to leave.

Byeong-chan has devastating news for Ji-seok, causing him to go into shock and investigate further. Although they have not had contact since their failed move to the United States, after learning his fate, Ji-seok tells Deok-gu he must see Mi-yeon once again.

Noticing a sudden change in behavior, Tae-hun suggests Mi-yeon take time off from school, while Jeong-ran asks Ji-seok if there's another woman.

Meanwhile, Ji-seok pretends to be a client in order to meet with Tae-hun; Mi-yeon is devastated when Ji-seok tells her he is sick.

As their emotions for one another begin to resurface, Wal-suk tries to talk Mi-yeon out of committing adultery. After answering questions from Byeong-chan at the hospital, Ji-seok calls Mi-yeon, causing Jeong-ran to once again question if he is seeing someone else, despite the circumstances.

After seeing Mi-yeon and Ji-seok together, Jeong-ran questions if Ji-seok is pretending to have cancer, in order to leave her for Mi-seok. Tae-hun asks his boss for a transfer to San Francisco, claiming Mi-yeon wants to move there; while Jeong-ran calls Mi-yeon and asks to meet her.

Mi-yeon learns that Tae-hun and Ji-seok met, after finding Ji-seok's business card in Tae-hun's coat. While Ji-seok's mother moves into his apartment, Jeong-ran surprises Tae-hun at his office after learning about his recent meeting with Ji-seok.
