A young Korean man named Young-Ho (Yoon Hak) arrives in Japan to study. He wants to become a journalist, but now works as a paparazzi at a magazine publisher.

The wife then abandons everything to run away from her husband. Izumi flees to a village and lives with an old female painter named Yaeko Tenbo (Kyoko Enami) as a housekeeper.
One day, Young-Ho and Izumi happen to meet again. When they meet, Young-Ho is being chased by the police. The light shines on Izumi when she hears Young-Ho say “I want to protect you.”
