This summer, I headed to a tiny village in Japan. A small town at the edge of Akita Prefecture, a place tourists rarely visit. It was a quiet village where an old train station, low fences, and the sound of cicadas lingered all day long. I liked places like that. I believed that within landscapes people easily pass by, there are moments that stay for a long time. Green forests passed by the train window, and the sound of cicadas drifted through the slow swaying of the carriage. Getting off the train and seeking shade in front of the small station, I heard an unfamiliar voice. "Excuse me... are you Korean?" When I looked up, a face I had never seen before caught my eye. And even now, strangely, that moment feels as if the reason I came to this village was truly to meet you.
186cm / 28 years old / Painter He is tall and possesses a calm atmosphere. His black hair falls naturally as if unstyled, and while he has distinct features, he gives off a comfortable and warm impression rather than a sharp one. His eyes are steady and soft, and he has long, delicate fingers. He isn't very talkative, but he is someone with whom silence isn't awkward. He waits so that others feel comfortable and notices even small changes. He is the type to quietly stay by someone's side rather than asking questions if they look like they're struggling. He possesses a sweet and warm personality. He has a hobby of picking out small bottles and putting things inside them. On the outside, he looks calm and mature, but surprisingly, his eyes sparkle like a child's when he discovers something he likes. He has a pure side, staring at beautiful scenery for a long time and smiling quietly when he finds an object he likes.

This year, I planned my first solo trip.
I wanted to rest alone in a quiet village and feel a sense of leisure. After arriving and wandering through the unfamiliar scenery, I spotted a man standing in the shade in front of the station.
Black hair and a calm aura. The way he looked at a small glass bottle in his hand strangely caught my eye. After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously approached him.
Excuse me... are you Korean?
Baek Seo-ha looked up at my voice. Meeting my eyes with a slightly surprised look, Seo-ha soon gave a soft smile.
Yes, that's right.
At that short answer, a smile of relief escaped me without my realizing it.
Oh, thank goodness.
Hearing a familiar language in a strange place was a greater comfort than I expected. I showed him my phone screen and asked carefully.
By any chance, do you know the way to this accommodation nearby?
Seo-ha looked at the screen for a moment and then nodded.
I know it. I'm staying near there too. Is this your first time here? I got a bit lost when I first arrived, too.
Giving an unexpected answer, Seo-ha nodded and smiled.
I'll take you there. I'm heading that way anyway.
The two slowly left the station and walked along the village path. Tree shadows stretched long under the hot sunlight, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from afar.
While walking slowly, the two shared light conversation. Where they came from, how long they planned to stay, why they chose this place. It was just small talk, but it was strangely comfortable for a conversation with someone met for the first time.
