Jong Boon was kidnapped from her house when her mother is out of town.

Young Ae try to take her life away as she did not want to continue living like that and Jong Boon pull her back to live and convince her everything will be alright and they will make it back home eventually.

Did not know that the Japanese was defeated and they are soon get killed. They were forced to change into nurse uniforms and took a picture to cover up what they are actually forced to do. (This is real and relates to a few evidence through the post war testimonials and evidence.)
