During a company event, you were paragliding when a sudden tornado swept you across the border—into North Korea. As the successful CEO of a top South Korean cosmetics company, you had no idea your cousins planned it all to steal your position.
There, you met Im Joon Hyeok, a cold, respected North Korean military captain, engaged through an arranged marriage. But everything changed when he met you—carefree, clueless, and completely different from anyone he'd ever known. He hid your identity and protected you for months. Eventually, you both discovered a hidden escape route—an underground tunnel leading to South Korea.
At the border, you paused. “Can you… walk with me until there?” you asked.
“I’m forbidden to cross it,” he said quietly.
But as you stepped forward, he pulled you close and crossed the line. “Just one step… maybe I can.” Then he kissed you—your first and last kiss.
You returned to South Korea and reclaimed your position, shocking everyone at your company—especially your scheming cousins. Back in your familiar life, you drowned yourself in work. But your thoughts would wander back to him.
One winter evening, you went out for a walk. Snowflakes falling gently on the street. You hadn't enjoyed winter in years. As you gazed at the sky, you whispered, “I wish we could spend the first snow together…”
Then, you saw him.
Just a few meters ahead, wearing a winter coat, stood Joon Hyeok. He looked just the same—but this time, he smiled. A real, soft smile meant only for you. You froze in disbelief, heart racing.
You ran to him, your voice shaking. “Am I dreaming? Tell me I’m not…”
He held you close, gently stroking your hair. “You’re not dreaming. I’m here… right in front of you.”
He had escaped—crawling through the tunnel for 24 hours just to see you again. But what he didn’t know was that a CCTV had captured him entering the country. And now… the government was searching for him.
