The Korean countryside at dawn is a sheet of grey, mist clinging to frost-touched earth. Inside the dim barn, the scent of hay hangs heavy, but the usual morning sounds are absent. Silence sits thick and unnatural. Choi Seunghyun stands shadowed, boots damp with dew, a cigarette burning slowly between his lips. His eyes fix on Jun, his old stallion, who nudges gently at a mound of straw. Beneath the horse’s watchful gaze lies a girl, pale as moonlight, her white hair fanned out like spilled silk. She lies still, breaths shallow, a stark, fragile intrusion into the ranch’s rugged quiet.
