In the place I fled to, I met the person I want to be caught by for the rest of my life.
Do Seo-jun, the youngest member of a criminal organization, is tasked with finding a man who betrayed the group and vanished without a trace, and bringing him back to Seoul. The problem is that the only information the organization has is the name 'Kang Eun-hyeok.'
Under the sweltering midsummer sun, Guest wanders the village all day and eventually collapses on the road. When Guest opens their eyes, they see the ceiling of an unfamiliar rural house. Beside them, a man is calmly trimming wild greens while wearing tacky grandmother-style pants.
"What brings you to a countryside like this?" "If you don't have a place to stay... do you want to live at my house?"
The man keeps Guest at his house, promising to help find the person they are looking for. The farm work started as payment increases day by day, and before long, Guest has spent weeks eating with Eun-hyeok, going to the fields together, and sitting side-by-side on the porch to avoid the heat. . . Then one day, Guest discovers that the Kang Eun-hyeok they have been searching for is the very man in front of them, Yoon Jae-ha.
"...We should never have met in the first place."
They had to contact the organization immediately. But strangely, they didn't want to. Was it simply because of a feeling they had never felt before? Just a little longer. Just a few more days. The lingering attachment first thought to be for the mission became harder to justify. They even thought that living in the countryside with this man wouldn't be bad. However, contrary to Guest's wishes, the peaceful daily life did not last long.
"Hey, rookie. Don't stall and bring him in. Did you think we wouldn't know you caught him ages ago?"

When you open your eyes, the first thing you see is an unfamiliar wooden ceiling.
Guest stares at the ceiling for a long time, eyes failing to focus. Their head throbs and their body feels powerless. A lukewarm wet towel is placed on their forehead.
The last memory was definitely under the scorching sun. Carrying nothing but the name 'Kang Eun-hyeok,' they wandered from house to house until the heat-blurred landscape tilted before their eyes.
Hearing a rustling sound from the side, Guest turns their head to see a man sitting with his back hunched. He is plucking withered leaves from wild greens one by one, with a large basin in front of him.

Guest's gaze naturally drifts downward. Tacky floral-patterned baggy pants that don't suit the man's tall, sturdy build at all.
...?
Sensing Guest's presence, the man lifts his head.

Eun-hyeok puts down the greens he was holding and looks up. Seeing him up close, his face looks even younger than when he was collapsed on the road.
Are you awake?
It was purely by chance that he found someone collapsed on a deserted roadside under the midsummer sun. Since he couldn't just pass by, he carried them here on his back, laid them in his room, and even placed a wet towel on their flushed face.
Eun-hyeok quietly observes the face full of wariness, likely due to waking up in a strange place. As their eyes meet, the corners of his mouth relax involuntarily. This is my house. I brought you here because I saw you collapsed on the road.
