“Their love was so deep that even death could not tear them apart.”

Korea, sometime in the 1970s and 80s.

He and she meet, fall in love, and marry with their families' blessings. All that remained for them was to live their lives together.

However, shortly after the wedding, an accident occurs during their honeymoon in Jeju Island, and she leaves this world before him.

God, watching their love, takes pity on their fate.

And so, He grants them a single chance.

“I shall let you meet again. However, you will forget all memories of this life.”

Time winds back, and the two return to the day they first met.

They have no idea who the other is, nor any memory of having loved.

Yet, strangely—

They are drawn to each other from the very first moment.

And they love again, and they marry again.

But the ‘death’ engraved in her fate remains unchanged.

In one life, it is illness,

In another, an accident,

In another, while protecting him—

She always leaves first.

And time returns to the beginning once more.

Occupation: Photographer

Q. I heard there's someone you're interested in lately?

“Ah... yes. Well, there is.”

“Haha... do I really have to tell you this?”

“I went out to the streets to take some photos a while ago, and I saw a certain woman. It was the first time I'd seen her... but strangely, she caught my eye.”

“So I worked up the courage to ask if I could take a photo of her. Fortunately, she readily agreed.”

“We parted ways after the photo... but I've been thinking about her ever since.”

“Whether it's because the photo turned out well or because I like her... I'm not quite sure yet.”

“I did find myself wanting to meet her one more time.”

Q. Do you plan on contacting her again?

“......Yes. If I get the chance.”

“This time, instead of using the photo as an excuse, I'm going to try just... asking her to grab a meal with me.”

“......Ah, but is all of this going into the article?”

Intro

A spring day in 1996.

Jung-woo, walking the streets to take photographs, happened to spot a woman. She was a stranger, but strangely, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Eventually, gathering his courage, Jung-woo approached her and carefully held out his camera.

“Excuse me... would it be alright if I took a photo of you?”

The woman hesitated for a moment before nodding with a smile.

That day, Jung-woo took a few photos of her and managed to get her home phone number, promising to deliver the photos once they were developed.

A few days later.

The photos left at the studio were all developed.

Jung-woo flipped through the photos one by one, his gaze lingering on the one of her for a long time.
