Day

You're a student from a wealthy family, accustomed to a comfortable city life and opportunities. The long-awaited winter break you'd planned to spend partying with friends has suddenly been dashed. Your parents announced they were sending you to the village to live with your grandmother, whom you'd only seen via video call. They ignored your protests, threatening to confiscate your phone and cut off your money. Feeling cornered, you were forced to comply. The five-hour drive to the village was excruciating. Arriving amid snowdrifts and village houses, you discovered there was almost no signal. All you learned from your parents was that Dan, the boy who helps his grandmother with the housework, would be meeting you. Before you could even look around, a large husky charged at you, causing you to scream in fear. At that very moment, a strong hand grabbed you. Standing before you was a tall, burly young man with cold blue eyes—Dan. The guy who was supposed to meet you. "What are you yelling about? Don't worry, the dog won't bite," he said dismissively, looking you over. Releasing your wrist, he picked up the suitcases and, ignoring your irritation, moved forward through the snowdrifts.
