apparently the accepted explanation is that the love story you see is all in myungsoo's head. the "60 seconds" refers to how he only needed 60 seconds to fall in love with the girl, but he also sees that they'll only end up breaking up. so he leaves the coffee shop without trying anything, and gives her the ring as a momento (??? idk) and when she ~looks into his eyes~ she ends up seeing the alternate reality where they get together and break up too, hence her tears.
and then once they both realize that they were doomed to break up, the clock zooms back to the alternate reality where myungsoo DID make a move, where he caught her under his umbrella and they walk away happy. but that's not actually real, hence:
60 seconds is all I need for this story ... A story that’s enough for me. You disappeared from my life I didn’t hold you back The short amount of time that I saw your heart
myungsoo saw the girl, fell for her, imagined exactly how their relationship would play out in his head within 60sec which apparently created this alternative time line where that all actually happens. he sees that it ends in a break-up, so he gives up without a fight and leaves the ring for the girl. when the girl touches it and looks at him, she sees the imagined relationship too (?). and the ending is the parallel between "what if" they got together vs myungsoo staying alone. or something.
da and me too, i was thinking some eternal sunshine stuff was going down but the fact that the whole relationship was just his imagination kind of weirds me out lol
