The class has already begun but Minsu is not in a hurry. Hyeong Cheol who got divorced many years ago brings a birthday present to his son Hoon but he does not know how his son looks like. Minsu gets excited to give the birthday present with Hyeong Cheol, so he decides to look for Hoon who didn’t come to school. Hyeong Cheol gladly accepts the help but starts to doubt Minsu as they go along. A strange trip of ‘friend’s father’ and ‘son’s friend’ begins. Will they end up finding Hoon?
