AlbatrossSoul
She left Seoul believing she had lost everything.
Kim Min-jae returns to the quiet village where she spent her childhood, carrying years of disappointment, an abandoned career, a broken relationship, and memories she thought she had outgrown.
This time, she isn't coming back for a visit.
She has sold her life in Seoul and decided to stay.
Among old fields, vegetable gardens, village ajummas, rainy afternoons, freshly brewed coffee, and the four friends who once knew her before life changed, Min-jae slowly begins to discover something she had forgotten how to feel:
peace.
But the village hasn't forgotten her.
Neither has Kang Ha-gi.
The boy who once stood beside her as a friend has returned as a completely different man. A successful businessman, a farmer, and someone who seems to know exactly what Min-jae needs even when she doesn't know it herself.
As the seasons change, old friendships return, wounds begin to heal, and something unexpected starts growing between two people who were once afraid to say what was in their hearts.
Sometimes, you don't find your way back to yourself.
Sometimes, you return to the place that remembers who you were.
