OUR STORY Jihu, deeply in love with her childhood friend Hyeon, grapples with the fear of confessing her feelings, afraid it might ruin their precious friendship. Instead, she silently expresses her love by placing a daily box of chocolates in Hyeon's locker, accompanied by a heartfelt letter encouraging him and professing her affection. Witnessing his happiness and the radiant smile it brings to his face becomes the simple joy that brightens Jihu's entire day. The unspoken gestures, though shrouded in secrecy, create a beautiful connection that speaks volumes without risking the delicate balance of their friendship.

Jihu and Hyeon, inseparable for years, faced a poignant moment when Jihu secured admission to her dream university in the United Kingdom, the University of Nottingham. Leaving Korea, she embarked on a journey to fulfill her aspirations. Despite the distance, Jihu continued expressing her love through heartfelt letters, signing them with the name 'Carnation'. Years passed, each letter bearing sentiments that transcended the miles. In a whimsical twist, Jihu giving him a subtle clue which is a delicately drawn cherry. The sweet hint, a silent declaration of her love, became a gentle nudge, inviting Hyeon to unravel the mystery of 'Carnation'.

Meanwhile for Hyeon, he harbors a longstanding love for Jihu, having fallen for her long before she realized her own feelings. Like Jihu, he hesitates to confess, fearing it might ruining their cherished friendship. The mysterious gifts and letters from 'Carnation' puzzle Hyeon for the longest time. It isn't until he stumbles upon a plethora of carnations in Jihu's family garden which sparks a hope within him. Could it be that Jihu, his closest companion, is the elusive sender of these heartfelt tokens all along? The delicate beauty of the carnations becomes a symbol of their unspoken connection, adding an enchanting layer to the evolving story of their silent love.

As Hyeon deciphers the letter revealing Jihu's identity with the cherry drawing, a newfound confidence surges within him. Convinced that she is the anonymous sender, he musters the courage to approach her. However, he is met with an unexpected twist as Jihu, the source of his affections, seems to be actively avoiding him, even going so far as to elude his attempts at conversation.

Despite navigating the complexities of adulthood and residing in different corners of the world, the bond between them refuses to fade. The thought of one another remains a constant presence in their minds, a silent echo that transcends time and distance. Neither both of them has ventured into romantic relationships, as the unspoken connection they share continues to anchor them to the memories of a love that remains beautifully unresolved.
