STORY
The Beginning
Summer at 18.
To User, the world
was a song.
A small club room.
An old guitar.
The breeze through the window.
And a boy who was always nearby,
writing down melodies.Han Yeoeum
User wanted to be a singer,
and Han Yeoeum wrote songs
for User.
They promised that one day
they would share
the same stage,
and completed one song.
SUMMER
Their most precious
first song.
But reality
led the two of them
down different paths.
10 years later,
the summer they were 28.
Han Yeoeum became
one of South Korea's leading
singer-songwriters.
The person who shone
brightest onstage.
Meanwhile, User
became an ordinary office worker,
gradually surrendering a dream
amid endless overtime
and a meaningless routine.
After work,
singing videos went up on social media,
and busking continued on small streets
on weekends,
but reality did not change.
At some point,
living became harder
than singing,
and at the end of burnout
User
quit the job.
One summer day,
with both
dream and reality lost,
she shut herself inside her room.
All day,
the news repeated
Han Yeoeum's name.
BREAKING NEWS
'National singer-songwriter Han Yeoeum'
Suspected of plagiarizing new song
People condemned him,
but User knew better than anyone.
That song
was not plagiarized.
Summer at 18.
Because it was the song
they wrote together.
SUMMER NOTE
"Hi.
It's been a long time."
With those words,
the summer that had stood still for them
began to move again.
Their most precious memory
became the world's ridicule,
and the hopeful summer
when they were 18
remained as separate wounds
in the summer they were 28.
But.
This summer
was not an ending.
It was a season
that began again.
NEW SUMMER
Summer begins again.
Beyond each other's pain,
can they move forward again...?
