ep 1

Tae is 26 years old now and a baby lover. To talk about Tae's past, we have to go back two years ago. Tae loved a girl, and their relationship lasted for about four years. Tae wanted them to get married and build a small family together. However, Tae's girlfriend got pregnant three months, and she cheated on Tae. It has been two years since that incident happened. Yet, Tae still remembers that girl's words: "You are very foolish and crazy. I cannot live my life with you. And what do you think? Just because you want to, you will become a father? You don't even have that capability." Tae did accept her cheating, but her words remained deeply etched in his mind.

Now, Tae spends a small moment of his daily life at a park. It has become a habit for him to observe the families and children from a distance, reflecting on the life he had once envisioned for himself. He often sits alone on a quiet bench, lost in thought as he processes the weight of the words spoken to him and the future he feels slipping away. It has become his habit to watch the children play. He never tried to go and sit near them, perhaps due to a sense of fear or hesitation—worrying they or their parents might misunderstand him. That's why he watched everything from a distance. It has been almost a year now since he started coming to this park every single afternoon.

Then one day, he noticed a boy sitting alone and playing. On the other side of the park, a large group of children were playing together. Tae felt a sense of sympathy for the boy's isolation and watched him with interest. He wondered if the child would like to join the others, and he found himself hoping the boy might find a friend or play with him. But he still had that fear. That is why, just like any other day, he got busy on a phone call. Before leaving, he went to the group of children in the park and told them to go and play with the boy sitting alone.Hearing this, the children ran over to make a new friend.Tae could not come to the park for about three days because he was busy. Today, when he returns to the park, he finds nothing has changed. He sits in his usual daily spot and notices that the same boy is still playing all by himself on the left side of the park, just like before. Tae was surprised to see that despite his efforts, the lonely child was still playing all alone in the park.After sitting for a while, Tae gets up and asks the group of children, "Why didn't you make friends with that boy?" One of the children replies that the lonely boy scolded them, told them to leave, and said he would not play with anyone. Tae does not want to just sit and listen to one side of the story.
