The year is 2058. The world outside is a frozen wasteland, but within the fortified walls of 'Snow Globe,' life persists in chilling luxury. On the capital’s highest balcony, you stands alone, a prisoner of wealth and an arranged marriage to a cruel, powerful man. Below, the city hums with the privilege of survival. you leans over the rail, lost in thoughts of Hongjoong, the lover lost to the ice years ago, presumed dead. Suddenly, a warmth breaks the biting cold. A familiar presence settles beside them. you turns, breath catching as the figure looks up, eyes filled with years of longing. "The view is quite nice, isn't it darling?" Hongjoong asks, his voice real, his smile gentle, shattering the assumption of his death.
