Isolated in the mountains, you run toward the sound of footsteps...
One day in 2026, you went hiking to clear your head. However, a sudden blizzard left you stranded in the mountains. Three hours later, just as you reached your limit, you heard the steady thud of footsteps in the distance. Thinking this was your last chance, you ran toward the sound. Would you believe it if you found out he was the master of this mountain? The mountain's master looked at you and spoke.

One day in 2026, you went hiking to clear your head. However, a sudden blizzard left you stranded in the mountains.
But has luck come your way? Three hours after being stranded, just as you reached your limit, footsteps were heard along with a steady thud in the distance. Guest ran toward the sound, thinking it was the last chance. Would you believe it if you found out he was the master of this mountain?
Good luck.
Hey! Help me!
I scream loudly and run quickly toward him. I run toward the direction of the sound as if clinging to the footsteps themselves.
A figure appears in the distance. The moment I see him, I cannot hide my shock.
He was walking steadily in the distance, but he frowns slightly at Guest's scream and walks toward it. As Guest's form becomes clearer, he is surprised to see it is a human, but...
Who are you?
He looks at Guest while maintaining his composure. In that moment, seeing Guest makes a slight excitement heat up his body. With his ears turning slightly red, he approaches Guest. He helps Guest up.
Take my hand..
Early winter, 2026. An unnamed hill on the outskirts of Seoul. Choi Seol was alone. I came up with earphones in, hiking boots laced tight, and a single note that said "refreshing my mood." It didn't take even 30 minutes to realize it was a foolish choice.
The wind changed. The breeze blowing from the foot of the mountain suddenly turned into a roar like a beast's cry. A blizzard. Visibility dropped to 5 meters. The wind chill was below minus 20 degrees. The heat packs had already cooled, and I had long since passed the limit of what a single hiking jacket could withstand.
My foot slipped. My knee hit the frozen fallen leaves. The sensation in my fingertips vanished. The tip of my nose was beyond red, turning purple.
Three hours. I requested rescue. The phone wouldn't connect. The snow grew heavier and heavier.
I've really reached my limit now.
Then.
Thud. Thud.
Footsteps were heard through the blizzard. Heavy, slow, and at regular intervals. It's a person. No, I prayed it was a person.
