Episode 1
“You know that particular smell before it rains? I love that smell. But it disappears so quickly, so I just stand there smelling it.” – Song Haran
“Smelling the rain puts me in a good mood. You should try it sometime. I recommend it.” – Song Haran
“Memories are kind of like sausage links. Even if you think you’ve forgotten everything, recalling just one memory seems to bring everything else along.” – Seonu Chan
“Everyone gets back up and lives after going through immense pain. You’re the only one who refuses to.” – Ms Kim Nana
“Are you going to keep running away from everything like a coward?” – Ms Kim Nana
“You can survive with at least one person to rely on. But with no one, you’ll crumble.” – Ms Kim Nana
“I don’t want to end up being anxious and worried everyday that something might happen to someone I care about.” – Song Haran
“If there’s no one by my side, at least nothing bad will happen.” – Song Haran
“The thing about memories is that sometimes they’re really rebellious. The more you try to forget, the more vivid they become. And when you want to remember, they run away from you.” – Park Manjae
“Just like this wine, memories get cloudy if you disturb them. But if you leave them be, they’ll eventually become clearer.” – Park Manjae
“The seasons of life don’t always come in order. Sometimes, the moment you feel like it’s spring, a harsh winter suddenly arrives.” – Seonu Chan

Episode 2
“I just keep remembering one person. I keep remembering how she called my name and woke me. But no matter how much I try to remember, I can’t recall who she is or why I’m remembering her.” – Seonu Chan

“Pushing everyone away and wasting time outside, then hiding in a cage, is that how you handle things?” – Ms Kim Nana

“That’s how the world is. It can feel small at times but big at others.” – Ms Kim Nana
“They look good together.” – Ms Kim Nana
“Repetition means your heart has already stirred. Instead of writing his name over and over, follow your heart.” – Ms Kim Nana
“You never know when you might die. So live your life without regrets.” – Seonu Chan
“So are you living without any regrets?” – Park Manjae
“I think I’ll have a lot of regrets later. I want someone to have joy in their life. Instead of their bleak life now, I want it to be vibrant, like before.” – Seonu Chan
“I don’t think you need rights to want someone to be happy, as long as you’re sincere about it.” – Park Manjae
“Let’s not think about the past or future. Let’s just have fun until I head back. Just until next spring. Let’s have fun like we’re on a picnic.” – Seonu Chan
“I was trying to die and I almost died. But she brought me back twice. A grateful disruption that made me live again.” – Seonu Chan
Episode 3
“I kept forcing myself to hang on, but I couldn’t find any reason to keep going, so I eventually decided to end it all. But then she disturbed me really loudly.” – Seonu Chan
“And that disruption gave me an opportunity. An opportunity to live again.” – Seonu Chan
“I laughed properly for the first time thanks to her.” – Seonu Chan

Then when I truly thought it didn’t matter if I died and decided to end everything, someone suddenly talked to me. Purely by coincidence. That coincidence made me stop and my daily life started changing as well.” – Seonu Chan
“The words that person said to me made me smile. For the first time, I started looking forward to the next day.” – Seonu Chan
“And I wanted to find a reason to keep going, thanks to that person who kept reaching out and talking to me.” – Seonu Chan

“It’ll be like we’re on a spring picnic. Let’s have fun.” – Seonu Chan
Episode 4
“If that sound is a part of that empty spot, is it a signal from the past telling me it’s linked to the explosion seven years ago?” – Seonu Chan
“If you don’t want to suffer again because of your past, it would be best to keep a distance from her. To protect yourself, a lock is safer than a key at the moment.” – Doctor
“Even if I break down again, I’ll stay by her side. She’s the one who gave me the life I have now. I wouldn’t have died if it hadn’t been for her.” – Seonu Chan
“Whatever’s hiding in that empty spot, I’m going to deal with it. As long as she becomes happy, I don’t care what happens. I’ll be careful so my existence doesn’t reopen her old wounds. And I’ll do everything I can for her before I leave again.” – Seonu Chan
“Perhaps I can overwrite those sad memories, too.” – Song Haran
“I actually don’t like everything being okay and only having fun. That’s fake friendship. Being able to tell each other when you’re not okay is real friendship, right?” – Song Haran
“This is how you become friends. Slowly, without forcing anything, by finding out small things about each other.” – Seonu Chan
“But we have to empty it out a few times to get rid of the impurities. It makes the flavor much smoother this way. It’s the same with people. We have to empty ourselves out from time to time to clear our heads and soften our hearts.” – Chan’s grandma
“I’ve also been trapped in a long winter all by myself.” – Seonu Chan
“How could I like her? That would be selfish.” – Seonu Chan
“Why am I someone you shouldn’t like?” – Song Haran
“Then is it okay if I like you?” – Seonu Chan
Episode 5
“If you can time travel, when do you want to return to?” – Song Haran
“I don’t want to go back. I don’t have a past I want to return to.” – Seonu Chan
“You never know when you’ll die. You should enjoy your life instead of regretting the past, so you won’t feel upset later.” – Seonu Chan
“Keep enjoying your life like this everyday, even when I’m not here later.” – Seonu Chan
“Hiding something and not telling the truth is the same as lying, right?” – Seonu Chan
“The more you gain with deception, the less you can truly gain.” – Seonu Chan
“It may seem like you’re gaining something now, but you’ll probably end up paying the price for it.” – Ben
“Thank you for asking to be friends and for knocking on my door. You made me stop hiding, and you made me able to tell the sad things, too.” – Song Haran
“My world used to be black and white, but she filled it with vibrant colors.” – Seonu Chan
“My choice was filled with question marks, but you just changed them to exclamation marks.” – Seonu Chan

Episode 6
“No matter what people say about you, I only trust what I’ve seen and the Hadam I know. That’s the difference between you and me.” – Cha Yougyum
“People, relationships, and even memories could disappear tomorrow if you let them slip through your hands.” – Ms Kim Nana
“There’s nothing as sad and stupid as regretting things after time has passed. Life is too short to spend it on regretting things.” – Ms Kim Nana
“Thanks to that weird trial, I learned how to escape on my own.” – Song Haran
“Traditional knots each have a specific meaning. A new life, change. Sometimes, you have to free something instead of clutching it tightly to open up a new beginning. That’s what this butterfly knot means.” – Ms Kim Nana
“I have a habit of hugging people I’m happy to see.” – Song Haran
“This is bad. I’ve been holding back until now. I can’t even explain myself to you, and I shouldn’t like you this much. I shouldn’t keep wanting you like this.” – Seonu Chan
Episode 7
“I want her to be happy beside me, and I want her to be happy because of me. I keep getting greedy.” – Seonu Chan
“I keep wanting to do as I want as if I’m clueless to all that. Until I go back, if I play dumb and be greedy, would that be wrong?” – Seonu Chan
“Fighting won’t make the world fall apart. It only exhausts you.” – Ms Kim Nana
“Once you go through something really serious, you’ll realize that the issues you thought were huge were actually just tiny specks. And you’ll regret not facing those issues head-on back then.” – Ms Kim Nana
“If things get messed up, we can fix them. It’s the same for knots. Sometimes they seem impossible to undo, but if you loosen one strand at a time, they’ll unravel. You can find a way no matter how impossible it seems.” – Song Haran
“Thank you so much for letting me see Haran crying and laughing again.” – Ms Kim Nana
“They say that it’s fate you’ll meet no matter how far apart you are.” – Ms Kim Nana
“They shatter, get hurt, then heal, and in the process, they gain depth. It’s similar to people, right?” – Chan’s grandma
“I’d be able to fix the shattered pottery, but I can’t do anything about their relationship.” – Chan’s grandma
“I guess there’s no such thing as never in a relationship.” – Song Haran
“I might end up liking you even more.” – Seonu Chan
“If I like you more, I might get more greedy.” – Seonu Chan
