| Overview: | Seoul, Tokyo, Alaska, chance some day turns into fate.
Seoul. Woo-in. 27. Male.
Woo-in, a government worker in a town office. His work consists of simple tasks like petty paperwork, making sure garbage is separated properly, distributing tax notices etc. Living away from his family and not being very social, he feels lonely and weary. The only thing Woo-in indulges himself in is searching through internet websites every night. He opens the windows of many websites, and shrugs off the loneliness of the long night. One night, a woman catches his sight. She is Mia, an assistant of the teacher in the cooking class at the town office. Woo-in is strongly attracted by her. He steals frequent glances and follows her around. And he finds a new site. There, he is able to choose his ideal woman and watch her slightest moves. He matches her to Mia's face - her eyes, nose, lips... Woo-in creates his ideal type. And in front of him appears Asako... "Welcome to my world."
Tokyo. Aya. 18. Female.
Aya, studying an extra year for the college exam. She had been fascinated by the story of her grandmother that her grandfather had committed suicide by holding his breath. Since then, the child practiced holding her breath. As a place of death, she thinks about swapping today and tomorrow. 'People won't know whether I would die today or tomorrow. Isn't that wonderful?' She works part-timely to buy plane tickets but fails every time. She goes to a website after reading a leaflet. According to the company, "You are the essence of purity. Your image will be projected to a site dispatched from Alaska. It will purify the world's solitude like white snow." Aya shows herself every day to earn money, the money that almost propels her towards death. The name of her site is "Asako," which means 'morning girl'. As she almost earns enough money, she gets a fan letter from Korea, written in broken English " I want you meet someday ..."
