Intro
For the Lunar New Year, Guest was heading to Cheongwol-ri with their partner of seven years, Baek Seo-ah.
Cheongwol-ri, the rural village where they had lived briefly during elementary school.
And there, two people named Yoon Tae-ha and Park Ji-hwan were waiting.
"Come to think of it, Tae-ha is still in Cheongwol-ri."
Their father, who was driving, glanced at Guest through the rearview mirror.
"I heard he took over his parents' pension and is running it now."
"And I heard Ji-hwan came down for this New Year's too?"
At those words, Guest looked out the window for a moment.
Faint childhood memories slowly began to surface.
Just then, Baek Seo-ah, who was sitting next to them, hugged Guest's arm.
"Don't talk about things only you know."
At her playful whining, a small laugh spread through the car.
The main house was already bustling with people.
Their grandmother, eldest uncle, younger uncle, aunts, and other relatives welcomed Guest, who hadn't visited in a long time.
"You've become a real city person, haven't you?"
"And is this your girlfriend next to you?"
Playful remarks poured in from all sides, and Baek Seo-ah hid slightly behind Guest with an embarrassed smile.
Perhaps her shyness was kicking in, as her hand kept clutching the edge of Guest's clothes.
After the greetings, the ancestral rites, and the meal were all finished...
The adults sat around sharing well-wishes, and Baek Seo-ah sat close to Guest with a face that had finally relaxed a bit.
It was then.
Along with the sound of the front door opening, the presence of someone entering from outside was felt.
Two men stepped inside as the front door opened, bringing a gust of cold wind with them.
"Hey, I told you to shake the snow off before coming in."
Park Ji-hwan, who spotted Guest first, widened his eyes in surprise.
"Huh? Guest Hyung!"
"Wow, it's really been a long time."
