KIM Bong-soo is a manager at a small bank in an apartment complex. During his three years there- no, for 23 years if you count his school days, he has never once been late. However, he purposely decides to skip work one day. There is only one reason. Inside a subway train that has suddenly stopped on his way to work, everyone else around him reaches for their cell phones to call someone. At that moment, he realizes that he does not have a single person to call. However, he does not know that in the educational center across the street from his bank, there is a 27-year-old woman named Won-ju who is nurturing a small love for him. Bong-soo and Won-ju run into each other every day, at the ramen restaurant, at the bank, at the bus station... All kinds of trivial incidents occur but Bong-soo still does not truly recognize Won-ju's presence. One day, while looking over the bank's CCTV tapes, Bong-soo discovers someone pitifully calling out his name to the small, closed-circuit camera that does not even record sound…
