Yong Junhyung was very in love with her girlfriend Neesa. Junhyung folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to her girl. Although at that time he was just a small executive in his company and his future doesn't seemed too be bright, they were very happy together. However one day, Wani told him that she is going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so she wanted to go separate ways there and then... He was heartbroken but he agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his mind and body just to make a name for himself. Finally with plenty of hardwork and the help of friends, he managed to set up his own company.
"You'll never fail until you stop trying." he always told himself.
"I must make it in life!"
One rainy day, while he was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize those were his ex-girlfriend's parents. He delibrately drove slowly beside the couple,hoping they spot him in her luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore. He had his own company, car, condominium, etc. he had made it in life!
Before he realized it, the couple was entering a cemetary. Junhyung got out of his car and followed them. There, he saw her ex-girlfriend. A photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone. He saw his precious paper cranes placed in a bottle beside her tomb.
Her parents saw him. He walked over and asked them how did this happen. They explained that she did not leave for France after all. She was ill stricken with cancer. In her heart, she believed that she will make it in life someday. However, she did not want her illness to be her obstacle. Therefore she chose to leave him.
She had wanted her parents to put her paper cranes beside her because if the day comes when fate brings Junhyung to Neesa again, he can take some of them back with him. Junhyung wept miserably. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them but knowing you can't have them and will never see them again.
