The grand building standing alone on this white snowfield was in the English style. Having studied picture restoration and learned about the styles of noble mansions across Europe, she could easily identify this.
A man living in an English-style mansion built on Korean soil, with a butler managing his household.

Despite these incongruent combinations of words, one thing was clear.
“Firstly, he’s not from SIS.”

“Huh?”
“I mean Baek Ishin. At first, I thought he might be a secret agent, but it seems he’s not…”

Jiwoon lowered her voice after looking back at the house once more.
“Then, is he mafia? No, why would the mafia build a house in Korea? No, wait, is it possible?”

“Of course, he already possesses wealth, power, and honor that he doesn’t even need to work for.”
Chanty’s face was filled with pride for Baek Ishin.

“There… are some circumstances.”
At Chanty’s whisper, Jiwoon opened her mouth.

“Ah-.”
Her lips, which had opened into a straight line, curved into a beautiful arc.

Moreover, he killed a British intelligence officer, stole a painting from [Heritage Beyond], and even outsmarted the mafia.
What could be so dangerous, diverse, international, and charming? He even lets you sleep well.

Biting her lips to suppress her spreading smile, Jiwoon’s steps became light as if she could fly.
“Chanty.”

With her mood swelling, Jiwoon turned back to Chanty with a bright smile.
“Do you want to make a snowman with me? In my limited memory, this is the first time I’ve seen real snow.”

Chanty’s expression looked as if she was questioning this sudden suggestion, but she would ultimately not refuse.
She knew from experience that very few can resist a kind smile from a pretty face, especially when there’s a backstory involved.

“I suffer from something like amnesia. It’s a side effect of an accident. PTSD, something like that.”
If she doesn’t show her true colors, Chanty would make ten more snowmen with her.

Chanty, trembling with surprise, eventually nodded and started rolling the snow first. Jiwoon, smiling brightly, followed suit.
Round and round, she seemed to have made snowmen before, judging by how well she shaped the snow, beyond her wiped memories.

Maybe because she slept well, she could feel joy even without touching a painting, which was both surprising and delightful.
Most importantly, Chanty, who started reluctantly, became genuinely invested in making the snowman, breaking down all barriers with Jiwoon.

Jiwoon, who had ambitiously rolled a large ball for the snowman’s head, moved to an untouched part of the snowy field to make it even larger. But then she slipped and fell forward.
Jiwoon, who caught herself with her knees and palms on the snow, groaned as she got up.

Still, it didn’t hurt much because the thick snow acted as a cushion.
She stood up nonchalantly, smiling cheerfully as she brushed the snow off her knees with her palms.

Her palms were red.
Perhaps because she had been touching the snow with bare hands, her fingers, which had been tingling, had lost sensation at some point. Only then did she realize how foolish it was to handle snow without gloves.

But since the end was in sight, completion came first. Of course, the bigger reason was that finishing this would give her another excuse to talk to Baek Ishin.
Blowing on her cold hands, Jiwoon rubbed them against her coat and reached for the snowball again. Or rather, she tried to.

Suddenly, with a scent enveloping her, a large hand covered her wrist.
It was Ishin.

“Tsk.”
Clicking his tongue in disapproval, Ishin’s face was also twisted with displeasure.

Looking down coldly at Jiwoon’s slender wrist encased in his large hand, Ishin, with irritation in his dark eyes, put gloves on her.
Watching the large leather gloves swallow her small hands, Jiwoon nibbled on her lower lip.

A man who exudes both danger and a thrilling charm, being kind on top of that, somehow makes her mouth tingle.
‘Why go to such lengths just because I touched the snow with bare hands, putting gloves on me.’

Trying to control her spreading lips, Jiwoon whispered in a small voice.
“I’m fine.”

“I’m not.”
Clicking his tongue again, he muttered something like “How much do these hands cost?” and then let go. He then walked ahead, leaving Jiwoon behind.

“Where…”

When she asked while following him, he gave an indifferent response.
“For an elegant walk.”

An elegant walk.
Repeating Ishin’s words in a small voice, Jiwoon quickened her pace to catch up with him.

Ishin, who had been striding ahead with his long legs, slightly slowed down, allowing her to walk beside him.
Thus, the walk to the lake was not bad. Baek Ishin was a man whose front, back, and side views were all pleasing.

His cashmere coat, flowing from his broad shoulders like a swimmer’s to his slender legs, moved sensuously with each step, giving off an unintentionally sexy vibe.
For the first time in her life, she felt a desire for a man.

Stripping off that sexy coat, then the well-fitted suit jacket, and the turtleneck sweater that would reveal his decadent chest…
While she was mentally undressing him, Ishin suddenly stopped.

Jiwoon, who had been devouring him with her eyes, stopped her steps with a surprised look, and he turned to look at her.
“Do you like it?”

“…Yes?”
Goodness, was this man, packed with all sorts of abilities, now reading her thoughts too?

From Jiwoon’s perspective, it was one and the same. She liked this place because it was Ishin’s abode.
“Do you want to stay here?”

Jiwoon, who had been looking at the ground to avoid Ishin’s gaze, lifted her head with anticipation in her eyes, now tinged with madness.
“Is that okay?”

As if he expected this, Ishin raised one corner of his mouth in a crooked smile and gave an ambiguous answer.
“I might do that for you. Of course, with the condition that you listen to me well…”

“…?”
“I have something I want you to do.”

With a confident expression, Jiwoon prepared to say she could do it perfectly without any issue, waiting for Ishin’s reaction. After all, that was her specialty.
But…
