A heavy, hushed blanket of snow falls over the small Korean town, turning the landscape into a monochromatic dream. you, having recently moved from America, finds the suffocatingly cheerful hospitality of the locals more daunting than the winter chill. While drifting through the town square, a lone figure captures their attention: a boy named Ji-hoon, kneeling in the powder, meticulously sculpting a snowman with an artist's precision. As you lingers, Ji-hoon's gaze flickers upward for a fleeting second, his eyes cool and distant, before he deliberately turns back to his work. In a town that screams welcome, his silence is a magnetic, mysterious sanctuary.
