Yoon Hye-jin (Shin Min-a), an intelligent and pretty dentist living in the big city, loses her job after she righteously accuses the corrupt head doctor of profiteering. She embarks on a trip to the idyllic seaside village of Gongjin, where she meet...
After Hye-jin confesses her feelings for Doo-shik, and he reciprocates, they share kiss after kiss. But then they seem to come to their senses and pull slightly apart. Hye-jin says she should go, since she said and heard everything she needed to. Doo-shik protests that he didn’t get to say everything, and even though she says bashfully that the kiss was more than enough, he wants to give a proper response. “I like you,” he says. And since they’ve confessed and kissed, it’s obvious what they should do next: hold hands as they walk home.

When they reach Hye-jin’s house, she asks if they’re official now. Doo-shik grins and says she can go ahead and mark it on her calendar if she wants. But then she remembers that she hasn’t given Sung-hyun an answer yet, and asks if they can hold off making it officially official until after she can do so. Doo-shik grumbles about it, but agrees that she needs to give Sung-hyun a clear answer. She asks why he never said anything if he knew all along that Sung-hyun liked her, to which he says, “Back then, I didn’t know I liked you this much.” With a sly grin, she asks exactly how much he likes her, then, and he beats around the bush a bit before saying, “As much as Lake Baikal.” Hye-jin promises to tell Sung-hyun about her feelings tomorrow, and they decide not to call each other until after she does.

Later that night, Hye-jin googles Lake Baikal, and immediately breaks her own vow and calls Doo-shik to share what she discovered: “Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world at 25 million years old. With a depth of 1,743 meters, it’s also the deepest lake in the world.” They get all shy together, and he tells her to take a look at her desk. He asks if she remembers who took the family photo (she doesn’t), and reveals that it was his grandfather. Awed by the coincidence, Hye-jin wonders about the boy who helped her pay for snacks the day she ran away from home, and they piece together that meeting, too. Hye-jin calls it fate, while Doo-shik says it’s a natural coincidence, since Gongjin is so small, but either way, they-re both amazed to have found each other again after all these years.
