High school gymnast Do-hyun (Kim Jung-hyun) is ordered to perform community service as a punishment for fighting. While serving as a library assistant, he meets Soo-hyun (Chae Seo-jin), a schoolgirl who borrows a lot of books. Finding her attractive, he talks to her and they gradually grow closer. This love between a teenage boy and girl looks cheerful enough, but they are both suffering in their own way. Each of them face new choices. It's a teenage love story and coming-of-age film in which the bright and wholesome protagonists bring joy throughout.[2]
