May cut the key lock that she put on a famous bridge where loves use to put a lock and throw that keys in the water. I forgot to tell you these on at first, my bad. Anyway lets continue. Both of them are broken hearted. They went to other place and enjoy that day shopping, eating and strolling around. On that night both of them sit on the road and look into the stars. May told Dang that she wants to see the snow, if she saw it she wants to undress and play with it. Dang replied, that she do it. He also told May that if he saw a snow the first thing he will do is to taste it. Both of them enjoy the night of being together. They didn't do that okay, you know what I mean.
On the third day. Dang went back to the Hotel and his tour guide picks him up and headed to the next city, it was a goodbye for both of them. As soon as the bus leaves the tour guide said that it is still snowing on the in Korea on the other city, Dang recalls that May wants to see snow. He asked the guide to stop the bus, he run as fast as he could till he saw May and told her that "it's still snowing in the countryside". A smile can be seen on both them as they begin to be together again. It's likely that they enjoy each others company after those days being together. Both of them went to May's friend place that one that will be getting married. They were welcome and chat with each other about there favorites stars and films. They get along well. That night, Dang borrow May's phone, he said he wants to call someone. Dang call someone but it wasn't answered. May saw that and thought that something is not going well with Dang. She told Dang about a DJ where she used to listen in the radio. May picks the phone a begin to dial falsely and gave it to Dang. As he answered May acts as she was the DJ and begin asking Dang about his problem. Dang told some but not all and told her that it was her girlfriend. The reason why he came to Korea is to reflect himself. He refused to marry his girlfriend after eight years in relationship. They broke up since Dang's girlfriend wants to marry and yet Dang is not ready. May give an advice to Dang that night and they begin to understand each other, both where broken hearted to start with. The next morning May asked Dang to send a postcard to his girlfriend.
The went to a shop to buy a wedding gift. Dang went outside and was found by his girlfriend friends and they told Dang that his girlfriend was already married. After May's friend wedding ends. They play to casino. May maybe has a curse or bad luck bringer she didn't win at all when both of they played. When they run out of chip, her seat mate give her chips and began to draw luck where she wins a lot of money. They rent a car and begin to enjoy the moments strolling around, eating and watching landmarks in Korea. They went to mountain where people used to ski. They enjoy the days together. That night May's wants came true, Dang's just look far away as May begin to undress, it was her wish when she see a snow. After that May hold a snow ball and her hands and while Dang is laughing she put the snow on Dang's mouth. Why did you do that, it's taste is awful, Dang exclaim and May just laugh telling him that, he wants to taste the snow and both of them laugh together. Dang put a snow cap on May, caressing May's hair over and over again. They just found themselves as May's lips where held by Dang's lips. That moment a feeling grows and begin to give them an awkward feelings. A stranger kissed.
While on the road, May asked Dang if he likes May. Dang just answered, "I don't know". Since both of the stranger and May has also likes Dang was unable to express what she really likes. They argued. May wants to stop the car and walk by herself but Dang stop the car and leave May behind. It was long as the other car passes by he notice that May didn't come. Make don't know how to drive a car and Dang realize it and begin to run fast and found out the car is empty. With sadness and worry feelings Dang look for May anywhere and he went back to the hotel where they used to stay. He asked the front desk if she saw the girl she's with. Both of them didn't understand each others since Dang cannot speak in English straight. Only May is fluent in Korean language. May shouted, "I was here a moment ago. Dang heard this and began to say sorry and some tears falling a witness of true intent. He ask May if he can hug her. May said, "I didn't say no" and Dang hugged May.
The next day both of them packed to leave Korea. As they went outside. Dang's girlfriend appears. A sour moments happen. Dang introduced May to his ex-girlfriend. May was sad and just went to the airport alone. As she was about to leave she looked back and saw Dang being hugged by the girl. She feel totally lost and really broken hearted.
