In July 2009, Im Sol is in the hospital after a car accident left her paralyzed. Emerging music group Eclipse randomly selects her as the winner in a radio contest, but she bitterly rebukes them. Lead singer Ryu Sun-jae, who attended the boys' high school close to Sol's, thanks her for being alive, inspiring her. By December 2022, Eclipse has become a global sensation and Sol is an avid fan. Among her fan memorabilia is a watch previously owned by Sun-jae. Sol leaves an Eclipse concert to attend a job interview for a film production company, but is rejected for her disability. She loses her ticket and spends the evening listening to the band from outside the venue. Later, her wheelchair dies on the Hangang Bridge, stranding her. Passing by, Sun-jae steps out of his car and shelters her with his umbrella before Sol's best friend Hyun-joo arrives to pick her up. A few hours later, Sol learns that Sun-jae has died from suicide. Devastated, she leaves for the hospital to see him, but drops her watch in a river and crawls in after it. When the watch reaches midnight on January 1, 2023, she is suddenly transported back to June 2008 and reunited with Sun-jae's younger self.

Recalling that Sun-jae began singing after a June 2008 injury ended his swimming career, Sol attempts to dissuade him from competing, but to no avail. She also realizes that she and Sun-jae were neighbors in high school. Sun-jae practices swimming late at night and his rival Kim Hyung-gu plots to steal his swim trunks while he showers. Sol chases him off and Sun-jae catches her holding his swim trunks instead, but later learns she was defending him. While crossing the street, Sol is frozen by trauma from her accident and Sun-jae pulls her from a car's path. It's revealed that in 2007, Sun-jae met Sol in the rain after her package was wrongly delivered to his house and she gave him her umbrella, and he has loved her ever since.

Sol recalls a house fire that originally burned her mother Bok-soon's hand and rushes home to prevent it. With Tae-seong's assistance, she prevents the fire from injuring anyone. Sun-jae undergoes surgery for his shoulder and Sol leaves him gifts in the hospital. As a thank-you, Sun-jae's father Geun-deok gives Sol a jar of fermented omija-cha, which she gets drunk from.
