CAN I EXPERIENCE LOVE SO PERFECT AND SO BREATH-TAKING LIKE THIS? 
IF ONLY I COULD LOVE YOU OPENLY AND FEEL PROUD IN YOUR LOVE. 
 

Young-Min is a family head with two daughters.  He is a poet and college professor.  One day, one of his associates introduces him to Young-Hee, who is a literature critic for a magazine.  Their meeting is so natural because their jobs are very closely related.  They fall in love when they first meet as if they had been yearning for this moment for a long time. 

As their relationship gets deeper, unmarried Young-Hee starts to feel insecure.  She wants to show people what a good relationship she has with Young-Min and wants to have dates with him arm in arm. 

However, her wish is frustrated by Young-Min because he is a married man and has a social status as a professor and does not want to have the scandal revealed.  But the more desperate their situation becomes, the thirstier they feel for each other, and so they meet to quench the thirst whenever time permits.  But young-Min's empty feeling becomes deeper just after they make love and Young-Hee feels unhappy at that. 

When Young-Min has a winter vacation from Seoul, he and Young-Hee rent a room at the beach.  There they are all alone and feel as if the world exists only for them and they keep making love over and over again. 

With the fundamental barrier that they cannot maintain a relationship in public, they argue about trivial things.  They try to mend their hurt feelings by making love, but the bad cycle goes on until they come to the conclusion that they must part
