Summary
On a cold, isolated island in the East Sea, where mist coils through the hills and distant howls echo after midnight, Keonho returns to Ulleung determined to hate it. Quiet, observant, and devoted to his camera, he plans to endure the move with emotional distance—counting the days until he can leave again. But the forest behind his house seems to breathe at night, calling to something buried deep inside him.
Everything shifts the moment his eyes meet Zhao James’s.
James is the golden boy of the Snow Wolves—captain of the school’s soccer team, magnetic, composed, and fiercely admired. But beneath his effortless confidence lies something ancient, something instinctual. The second he sees Keonho in the stands, the world narrows to a single point.
Imprinting.
An unbreakable, supernatural bond that rewires his heart in an instant.
But imprinting isn’t instant love—it’s certainty. It’s devotion without permission. It’s the overwhelming need to protect, to stay close, to become whatever the other person needs.
As wolves draw closer to town and long-buried secrets about Ulleung resurface, Keonho finds himself tangled in a world he doesn’t fully understand.
