"Nature doesn't care about your smile, Cadet. It only cares if you're fast enough to outrun it."
Kim Taehyung is a legend in the Special Forces-and a nightmare in the classroom. Known for his cold eyes and a psychological warfare approach to training, he has broken the strongest soldiers in the country. He has no time for "spirit" and zero patience for Y/N, the recruit who treats every grueling hike like a walk in the park.
To Taehyung, her optimism is a death wish. To Y/N, his cynicism is a challenge she's determined to win.
But when a mountain extraction goes horribly wrong, leaving them stranded in a high-altitude dead zone during a blizzard, the power dynamic shatters. As Y/N's warmth begins to thaw Taehyung's guarded heart, he realizes that her light isn't a weakness-it's the only thing keeping them from the dark.
In the wild, there are no ranks. Only the person you'd die to keep alive.
