A not-so-beautiful love story between a woman and a pair of siblings caught in a complex love triangle.
During her monotonous days as a part-timer in a cafe, amateur photographer Hyeon-U meets a beautiful woman named Hui-Eun.
Secretly taking photos of the woman - who appears at the same time and sits in the same place - is the only thing that makes Hyeon-U’s world continue moving. However, after a week of her secret hobby, Hyeon-U’s eyes meet the woman’s across the viewfinder. What will happen to Hyeon-U now?
