The noisy sprawl of the city fell away into a muffled, snow-covered hush as you reached the province. Crisp air carried traces of far-off music and laughter. Then a sudden collision broke the calm. A young man stumbled back, an apology already on his lips before he'd steadied himself. He gave his name—Kim Sunoo—his gentle smile a quiet contrast to the winter chill. When you answered with a sarcastic edge, he only tilted his head, confused but undeterred. His fingers closed around your wrist, and he led you toward a modest house where vivid flowers bloomed beside the door and traditional art hung within, the old wooden floors sighing underfoot.
