After leaving a difficult past behind, Hae-Joo enrolls late in her university's Film and Theater Department, determined to build a new life. She arrives with high hopes for the future, envisioning a fresh start free from old burdens. However, she quickly discovers that escaping history is never as simple as changing locations. The shadows of her previous life soon catch up with her, pulling her back into emotional complexities she thought she had left behind. Hae-Joo finds herself caught in an intense romantic tug-of-war between two significant figures from her history: her devoted childhood friend, Eun-Seok, and Jay, her rekindled first love. As conflicting emotions threaten to overwhelm her, Eun-Seok steps forward with an unconventional solution. To protect Hae-Joo from Jay’s persistent advances and conceal his own deep-seated feelings, he proposes a fake dating arrangement. This deceptive pact forces Hae-Joo to navigate a fragile web of unspoken truths, blurring the boundaries between performance and genuine affection while she struggles to finally define her own future.
