After a decade in the United States, Hu‑young returns to South Korea and, by chance, meets his teenage sweetheart Hong‑ju at a café. Their reunion feels like the magic of Peter Pan’s window or Cinderella’s glass slipper—time seems to pause. Though ten years have passed, he becomes nervous and clumsy around her, as if he were nineteen again, and their faded memories begin to bloom into vivid, colorful days.
