Two strangers. One deserted beach. A thousand miles away from the life they left behind in Seoul. Minji, a philology student who has lost her faith in words, and Hanni, an aspiring artist who doesn't know where her path leads, both flee the city seeking nothing but silence. But as the grey autumn sky meets the cold waves, their lonely paths collide. In the quiet of a remote coastal town, they discover that sometimes you have to lose your way to find your true reflection-not in a mirror, but in the eyes of a stranger. Author's note: Some quotes in this story are inspired by or taken from the works of Haruki Murakami, whose books greatly influenced the atmosphere and mood of this story. This is a soft, poetic and fluffy story, so there is not much drama - just sea, conversations, rain and two people slowly getting closer. This story was written in my native language and later translated into English with the help of AI, as English is not my first language. I hope this story feels warm and calm to you🤍
