Melody In Snow
ep -1
April 3, 2026. A bitterly cold night. Heavy snow fell from the dark sky, blanketing the streets outside the grand concert hall. Sitting in his wheelchair, Min-jun’s tearful eyes were locked onto a single person—Rehan, who was smiling warmly on the massive LED screen.
Min-jun
(whispering to himself, trembling) Oppa... you have no idea what a heavy price I had to pay just to protect that beautiful smile of yours.
As the concert ends, Rehan rushes toward the VIP parking lot. The weather is worsening. Min-jun desperately wheels himself as fast as he can, trying to intercept Rehan before he reaches his car.
Min-jun
Oppa! Wait! Please don't drive alone tonight. Let me come with you!
Rehan
(chuckles softly, gently patting Min-jun’s head with deep affection) Min-jun, you always worry too much. Look how successful the show was! We are completely safe now.
Rehan carefully lifts Min-jun into the passenger seat and takes the driver's seat. The car glides down a deserted, snow-covered highway. Suddenly, as they approach a sharp cliffside curve, Rehan's face turns pale. He slams his foot onto the brakes, but nothing happens
Rehan
Min-jun! The brakes... they aren't working!
Min-jun
What?! No... this can't be happening again!
Out of nowhere, a massive truck blinds them with its high-beam headlights. Through the glaring light, Min-jun catches a glimpse of the truck driver—a hooded figure wearing a mysterious tattoo of a snake coiled around a clock on his wrist.
Min-jun
(screaming in terror) Oppa, watch out!
CRASH! The deafening sound of metal tearing and glass shattering echoes through the night. The car flips over and crashes violently. Covered in blood, Min-jun painfully crawls through the wreckage toward Rehan.
Min-jun
(sobbing, holding Rehan's cold hand) Oppa! Open your eyes! Please... don't leave me alone!
Rehan
(whispering weakly) Min-jun... the real mastermind... is one of us...
Rehan’s hand slips from Min-jun's grip, falling lifelessly. At that exact moment, a warm tear mixed with Min-jun's blood drips onto the old pocket watch in his pocket. Suddenly, a brilliant, blinding crimson and golden light erupts from the watch. The hands of the clock begin to spin backward at a terrifying speed.

The intense, blinding light of the crash dissolves into a soft, nostalgic glow. The horrific smell of smoke and blood vanishes. Suddenly, the fresh scent of spring flowers and the distant sound of a college bell echo around him. Min-jun gasps, his eyes snapping open.
Min-jun
(bolting upright at his old college desk, panting heavily) Oppa! Rehan oppa! Run—!
Min-jun looks around in utter shock. He is sitting safely in a sunlit classroom. His legs, which were once paralyzed in a wheelchair, are perfectly healthy and moving. He looks down at the silver pocket watch attached to his wrist.
Min-jun
(staring at the watch, whispering in awe) My legs... I can walk. It really worked. But this watch... it's completely different now.
The silver pocket watch has completely transformed. It now pulses with a quiet, heartbeat-like rhythmic throb against his skin. The gears inside are moving in perfect harmony, glowing with a soft crimson luminescence. It doesn't just show the time; it vibrates whenever a major change in the timeline is near, acting as a direct anchor to his soul. It lets his spirit travel through time while binding his destiny to the past
Sameer
Sameer: Oh Minjun! What a bad dream you had, sleeping in class again! It's been 10 minutes since class ended.
Min-jun
(Holding his watch tightly, panicking) Sameer! Is today really April 3, 2024? I'm not dreaming, am I?
Sameer
(Surprised) Oh my! What happened to you today? Why does your face look so white?
Min-jun
(Hurriedly picking up his bag) Sameer, I don't want to waste any time! Where is Rehan Oppa, tell me again?
Sameer
He said he's waiting for you in the concert hall (Auditorium)! Band practice is going on there.
Min-jun
(Running towards the door, mentally) April 3, 2024! This clock has brought me back exactly two years. It has given me a second chance.
student a
(asks Sameer) What happened to Minjun today? Why is he running around like this?
Sameer
(shrugs) I don't know either, man, he's acting a little weird today.
Min-jun
Running, takes a deep breath) Oppa... This time I won't let that mysterious tattooed truck driver and real mastermind succeed!
Minjun runs to the door of the large auditorium. He hears the sweet melody of guitars and drums from inside. He pushes the door open with a trembling hand.
Min-jun
(Opening the door, looks ahead with tear-filled eyes) Oppa... Rehan Oppa!
Rehan
Holding the guitar on stage and smiling, he waves at Minjun) Hey Minjun! Are you here? I was waiting for you. Come, come here!
Min-jun
(Running towards the stage, crying, he says to himself) I'm here, Oppa... I came just in time to save your life!
"The Shield of Tears , cp-3
Min-jun stands at the entrance of the crowded auditorium. Seeing Rehan alive and smiling on the stage breaks something inside him. Tears stream down his face as he runs toward the stage.
Min-jun
(screaming, running up the stage steps) Oppa! Rehan oppa!
Rehan
(startled, drops his guitar pick as Min-jun throws his arms around him) Whoa! Min-jun? What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?
Min-jun
(burying his face in Rehan’s chest, sobbing uncontrollably) Don't go... please promise me you won't go anywhere alone tonight.
Rehan
Chuckles softly, hugging him back tightly to comfort his soft Omega) Hey, look at me. I'm right here. Did Sameer prank you again?
Sameer
Running into the auditorium, panting) I swear, Rehan, I didn't do anything! He woke up from a nap and just started running like crazy.
Min-jun
(holding Rehan’s jacket tightly, looking up with red eyes) This is not a joke! Oppa, you have to trust me. Your life is in danger.
Rehan
(wiping Min-jun’s tears gently with his thumb) In danger? Min-jun, it’s just a normal college music festival tonight. We are safe.
Min-jun
(looking down at his wrist,Whispering to oneself) ) He won't believe me if I tell him about the time travel. I have to protect him secretly.
Suddenly, Min-jun’s wrist begins to vibrate violently. The hidden silver pocket watch pulses with a burning crimson light under his sleeve. It’s a warning
Min-jun
(gasping from the watch's sting) Ah...!
Rehan
(worried, holding Min-jun's arm) Min-jun? What happened? Is your wrist hurting?
Min-jun
Hiding his wrist quickly, forcing a smile) No! It’s nothing, Oppa. Just... promise me we will stay together every second tonight.
Rehan
(smiles warmly, patting his head) Alright, alright. I promise. I won't leave my cute manager's side for even a minute
Min-jun
What is it and what can it mean? 🤔
