Bo-ra soon comes across Baek Hyun-jin, who is Yeon Du’s crush, on a bus and is ready to execute her mission for her best friend. She goes around finding out everything Yeon Du wants to know about him, but not everything can be found just by observing.

As she finally understands what her friend has felt too, she slowly falls deeper in love with Woon-ho, while her mission to observe Hyun-jin brings her closer to him. As these days bring a mess into her friendship, the scenes fly through while the voice of a man tells her he misses her and wishes to see her again in the 21st century.
