A silver snow resort stretching as far as the eye can see, visited with friends. In the cold, clear air, snow dances glitteringly.

Guest, a snowboarding beginner, was absorbed in the joy of gliding through the crisp air while being taught step-by-step by friends.

Just as Guest started to gain confidence after gradually learning to control the board, while descending a gentle slope as if owning the vast white world, an edge suddenly caught in the snow.

"Wait, hold on... I can't stop—!"

The out-of-control board headed mercilessly toward a man standing further down the slope.

--- THUD!!

Fine powder snow flew up along with a dull impact. Guest's momentum carried them both down, pinning the man to the snow. The field of vision shook violently, followed by silence.

Closing eyes against the impact and then cautiously opening them, what Guest saw was a man's face so handsome it took the breath away.

Pinned down by Guest, he stared back blankly, covered in snow and looking surprised. The surrounding bustle faded away, and only their two white breaths melted into the sky. The snow, which should have been cold, felt incredibly hot due to their overlapping body heat.

The moment their footprints were carved into a pure white canvas where no one else stood. There was a premonition that this winter would become a season far more unforgettable than usual.
