The following week, the winter chill had settled in, and Seongnam High School’s hallways were alive with a mix of holiday decorations and excited chatter about the Winter Festival. In the library, Lee Heeseung and Kim Soojin were deep in discussion, surrounded by sketches, notes, and a steaming cup of hot chocolate each
Soojin’s sketchbook was filled with elaborate drawings of winter scenes: snow-covered trees, cozy cottages, and twinkling lights. Her eyes sparkled as she flipped through the pages, each illustration brimming with her unique artistic touch
“So, how about we start with a central theme for our installation?” Soojin suggested, her voice animated. “We could create a magical winter landscape that transitions from a serene snowfall to a lively festival scene.”
Heeseung sipped his hot chocolate, considering her idea. “I like that. We could use my photos of winter scenes as a backdrop and then add your artwork to enhance the details. What if we also included some interactive elements? Like a section where people can take pictures or add their own wishes for the new year?”
Soojin’s face lit up with excitement. “That’s brilliant! We could set up a small area where people can write their wishes on paper snowflakes and hang them on a tree. It’ll add a personal touch to the installation.”
As they continued brainstorming, their conversation flowed seamlessly, blending their ideas into a cohesive vision. Soojin’s artistic enthusiasm complemented Heeseung’s thoughtful approach, creating a dynamic synergy between them

The next few days were a whirlwind of activity. They met frequently to work on their project, with Heeseung capturing photos of snowy landscapes around the city and Soojin meticulously painting and drawing elements for their installation. Their collaboration was a blend of creativity and efficiency, with each contributing their strengths to the project
One chilly afternoon, they decided to visit a local park to photograph the first snowfall. Heeseung adjusted his camera settings as Soojin watched, her breath forming small clouds in the crisp air
“Do you ever get tired of taking pictures of the same thing?” Soojin asked, her gaze fixed on the falling snow
Heeseung shook his head, a smile tugging at his lips. “Not really. There’s always something new to capture. Each snowfall is different, just like every moment in life.”
Soojin nodded, impressed. “I guess that’s true. There’s always something special in the details.”
They spent hours in the park, capturing the beauty of the winter landscape and enjoying each other’s company. The conversation flowed effortlessly, punctuated by laughter and shared observations about the world around them

Back at school, their progress on the project was evident. The main hall was starting to take shape with Soojin’s artwork adorning the walls and Heeseung’s photos providing a stunning visual backdrop. Their installation was evolving into a captivating display of winter’s magic
One evening, as they worked late into the night, Soojin glanced at Heeseung. “I’m really glad we’re working together on this. It’s been a lot of fun.”
Heeseung looked up from his camera, meeting her gaze. “Me too. I never expected this project to be so enjoyable.”
As they packed up their supplies, Heeseung felt a growing sense of anticipation. The project was coming together beautifully, and he couldn’t help but feel that their collaboration was leading to something more than just a successful installation
Outside, the snow continued to fall, adding a serene blanket to the bustling city, as Heeseung and Soojin prepared for the next phase of their creative journey
