Marian is a 26-year-old programmer who's suffering from lower EQ and is incorrectly diagnosed with anxiety and depression. After meeting a pharmacist named Anne, he manages to fix his real issue with a new emotional bond: Love

SYNOPSIS:

Marian sleeps in his bed during the night. Shakes from his anxiety and depression conditions.

Wakes up screaming at 1 am, figuring he didn't take his medication. He goes to the kitchen, just to find the medication boxes are empty. He dresses up to go and buy the medication he needs, almost forgets to bring his wallet.

Comes to a 24/7 pharmacy, meets Anne, who notices his problem. They chat, where he mentions he lost his parents 12 months ago and lives a difficult life. She interrupts him and gives him her phone number, telling him to call her. He leaves home.

Sleeps over and ignores 2 ringing of his alarm. Stands up on the 3rd and sees it's nearly 11 am. Opens his laptop to see his boss has tried to reach him from 8 am. Enters a heated discussion with his boss, Mark, where he promises he won't be late for work anymore.

He finishes his workday and decides not to take his medication, even though he told Anne he will. Gets a temptation from his virtual friend, Ronny, to play a video game. With huge resistance, he says no to Ronny and takes his medication pill after all. He then opens viber and messages Anne.

They go out and sit at a cafe, outdoors. Anne explains to Marian that he needs someone close in life to help him get over his emotional problems, and that someone is a girl. Marian stands up and kisses her.

Pictures slide on a phone screen, showing the travels and general happiness the two had together over the course of their relationship.

The ending is both of them siting on a couch, watching those photos on the phone with a wedding dress seen in the background and Anne with a baby bump. They kiss.
