Shinozaki Shu est la star du club de basket de son lycée. Plutôt beau garçon, possédant un certain talent pour le sport, il est la coqueluche de bon nombre de filles de l’établissement.

Lors du même match de basket, elle fait une crise d’anémie et est transportée à l’infirmerie par sa meilleure amie. Après une courte sieste, une serviette humide sur le visage, la voici qui divague sur une possible confession à l’élu de son cœur…

Jae-joon used to be a promising young CEO of an IT company, until he unexpectedly becomes a postman. He delivers the letters grieving people have written to their loved ones in Heaven. One day, he comes across Hana, who writes a letter full of resentment to the dead man that she used to love, and reveals his presence to her. Jae-joon proposes that Hana delivers responses which come back from Heaven and the two think up various ways to give peace and happiness to those who are alive and left behind, sometimes by writing the responses themselves. But a human being and a postman from Heaven cannot spend unlimited time together. As they start to grow feelings for each other, Jae-joon tries to pull himself away from Hana and the two, for the last time, deliver a response to an owner of a coffeehouse who had been agonizing for a long time over the loss of his son.
