After failing in both work and love, Dokyung returns to her hometown, Muyeong. There, at her mother’s small grocery store, she runs into a stunningly handsome man. —“Want me to give you an autograph?” Long, deep eyes. Pupils as black as obsidian.

From now on, when I think of summer, I’ll think of you.” “…Maybe I’ll remember you at some point. But it won’t last long.” A story of a woman who wants to leave this season —a fleeting moment, a single summer— as a memory, and a man who wants to turn it into forever. “What day of summer do you like best?” “When the carols come on.”

“Of course I recognized you. You’re my first love.” Living a life of being stalked by her first love, Dam Do is visited by her brother’s friend Yun Oh.

While Dam has found herself resenting her first love, Yun is secretly quite excited to be around his first love once again. As the two become reacquainted after their time apart, they may be in for a lesson on what love really is.
