Drowning his sorrows with alcohol, he narrowly escapes a dangerous situation thanks to the help of a friend. Together, they head aimlessly to Cheongpyeongsa Temple, but he misses the last ride back home and decides to stay the night. The middle-aged couple also heads toward Cheongpyeongsa Temple. They open up to each other by recalling memories of their first loves. The night passes like a dream and they get back on the train to Seoul.
