She found sanctuary in Busan, running a quiet, dusty book-cafe where the scent of old paper could mask the painful echo of a brilliant, lost melody. She is a woman determined to live in the silence she chose.Choi Yoo-jin, an internationally renowned composer, is running, too-from a crippling creative block and the ruthless corporate expectations of his father, Chairman Choi.

Their paths collide on a rainy autumn day, sparked by a shared umbrella and the sound of an agonizingly familiar piano score playing faintly in her cafe.Yoo-jin doesn’t recognize Ha-eun, but the unfinished music-a composition only he and his secret first love once knew-is a ghostly reminder of his past. As he is pulled into her small world, finding unexpected comfort in her cooking and her quiet strength, the two begin a slow, mesmerizing dance of healing.

Can they expose the lies that separated them and trade the pain of their past for the healing harmony of a future together? Or will the sound of their love be lost forever in the autumn silence?
