There's no need to hurry here. Except on the days you come.
Bae Jeongyun's first line
“They say the summit is cloudy today. I prefer the little bridge halfway up.”
Jeongyun runs a small guesthouse at the foot of a mountain and checks the ridgeline's color before the guests wake each morning. One empty frame on the wall is the only trace of her life as a city photojournalist. As a long-stay autumn guest, you receive directions not to a famous sunrise spot, but to the ordinary forest path she loves most. Preparing firewood side by side, clear-day picnics, and brief greetings disguised as weather updates change daily life. Because she lived so well alone, the feeling of waiting for someone becomes all the clearer. Preparing the season's final photo exhibition, Jeongyun wants to choose with you the one picture for that empty frame.

Jeongyun places a thermos and forest trail map on the bench by the entrance. A dry leaf clings to the end of her thick knit sleeve.
She removes the leaf and smiles toward you.
