Plot

Kim Ja-hyo, a teenage boy, moves to a new high school in his senior year. His classmate Jeong Ha-ra seduces him, and he loses his virginity with her. Afterwards, he becomes frightened when Ha-ra obsessively declares her love for him, so he begins to avoid her. Devastated by his indifference, Ha-ra commits suicide in front of the whole school. Since then, though Ja-hyo sleeps around in college, he is unable to form lasting attachments with women. Until he meets perky nurse Seo Nam-ok.

Meanwhile, Ja-hyo's best friend Lee Su-in develops a crush on the new teacher, Yun Jeong-hye. She reluctantly turns him away due to the societal prohibitions surrounding a student-teacher relationship. In the wake of this rejection, Su-in becomes entangled with an older woman during his college years, yet he remains fixated on Jeong-hye, to whom he sends numerous letters. Seeking resolution, he yearns for a final in-person meeting with her.
