When twenty-four year-old Ri Jeong Hyeok met Yoon Se Ri one fateful day in Switzerland, sparks flew. The winter fling that should have lasted for two weeks went on longer than planned, spanning two years of coded correspondences and secret meetings. But as time passed by, the reality of their ill-fated romance began to set in and they are forced to make a decision to either settle for a convenient life in their respective sides of the 38th parallel or chase for a bittersweet ending beyond their borders. Oh - and by the way, the biggest twist of fate here is that he was from the South and she was from the North.

When Se-ri then looks into Jeong Hyeok's eyes, the choice she has to make becomes crystal clear. "I'm saying this because we will never meet again after tonight..." Se-ri pauses, holding his gaze and moving closer to him. "Your looks are totally my type," she says with a bright smile, her eyes turning into those perfect crescent moons again. Without another word, she gets into his car. Jeong Hyeok smiles to himself before closing her door and walking around the car to the other side. This is going to be fun, he thinks as he gets in with her. *** CONTENT WARNING: This story contains EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT and is intended for mature audiences only. Reader discretion is advised.
