Putting an end to his loneliness, Ga-heun shifts with her husband to Jin-pyong’s neighbourhood. She is the wife of Captain Kyung Woo-jin, and his transfer to Jin-pyong’s troop is the reason for their sudden shift. Jin-pyong falls for Ga-heun at first sight. One day, he meets her at the army hospital.

The wives of the commissioned officers conduct a programme, and Ga-heun is one of the volunteers. On that occasion, Jin-pyong gets a chance to befriend Ga-heun. He saves her from the attack of a soldier suffering from post-traumatic disorder. Though she gets shot in the shoulder, his kind and brave act stimulates a romantic feeling in her for him. Soon, they start to spend more time together.

Ga-heun lost her parents at a young age, and it is her mother-in-law who raised her. One day, she receives a call that her mother-in-law is sick and goes to see her. The meeting with her mother-in-law makes her feel guilty about her illicit relationship. Therefore, she ends her relationship with Jin-pyong.

Respecting her feelings, Jin-pyong agrees to her decision. However, he is not able to pretend that nothing has happened between them. Out of jealousy, he tries to blame Woo-jin for a cooked-up plan.

On behalf of Jin-pyong’s promotion as a general, the team hosts a party to which the entire unit is invited. Though the party is hosted to congratulate Jin-pyong, all the wishes fall on deaf ears since his entire focus is fixed on Ga-heun. Watching Ga-heun as a mere acquaintance is unbearable for him. By the end of the party, he gets completely drunk and exposes their illicit relationship to the public without considering his pregnant wife, who is also present at the function.
