would be heavy with sadness.
Farewell and death.
He lost family members before, so he knew how much sadness it brought.
Weed decided.
“This is failed product.”
Although he worked very hard for several days, he decisively abandoned it.
When knowing that it would be a failure, he couldn’t continue to make it.
Weed started sculpting a different boulder.
This time, the couple was hugging each other again.
As if he was trying to waste his time, there was not much difference from the other one.
Even if he makes a similar sculpture, Weed’s sculpting skill wasn’t as pathetic as before, so it would raise the mastery of it a bit.
If there were any difference, the man and the woman were smiling now.
The most loving smiles they could show to one another.
“If you’re about to leave this world, you should smile. That’s the last thing you can show to the person you love.”
Weed’s parents passed away when he was small.
He saw his parents for the last time when they were going into the surgery room in the hospital.
At that time, Weed cried and cried.
He cried because it was heartbreaking.
But, no one would know how much he regretted it afterwards.
“I should’ve smiled. I should’ve shown them the best smile.”
He should’ve smiled. Shown that it’s alright, and that he would live happily with his sister and grandmother.
Not being able to do it always remained as one of his regrets.
“Yes, a smile is the best.”
Weed made the sculptures have the happiest smile toward each other.
A smile with abundant love and trust.
Still, it had a somewhat sad and ominous mood.
With their two arms, they embraced each other as much as possible, to share a little of their warm between each other, and to never separate from each other.
Please name the Sculpture
Weed said as he pointed the sculpting knife.
“Warm Lovers.”
He decided on the name simply because they were hugging each other in a cold place.
But it came out to be a good one, going mysteriously well with the mood of the sculpture.
Would you like to name the sculpture Warm Lovers?
“Yes.”
In truth, he had some guilt as he named the sculpture.
Because of the man and woman’s faces.
He didn’t realize it in the beginning, but the man resembled himself a lot.
Because he became emotional and sculpted as he thought back to his regret, he unconsciously carved his own face.
Because he went through so much hardship, he couldn’t smile purely.
It was not a rotten smile, but a reliable and bright smile that he only showed to his family.
If it was only the man that resembled Weed, there would be no problem.
But the problem was the woman’s face resembled Seoyoon so much so that it was as if he brought Seoyoon’s face and placed it there.
Seoyoon’s beauty was such that it would be no exaggeration to say her beauty was absolute.
To the point where one’s own taste or preference wouldn’t matter, Seoyoon was beautiful.
After sculpting her several times, to the point where he would be able to sculpt her with his eyes closed, he naturally sculpted her.
‘How troublesome.’
It would be problematic to deal with afterwards, but Weed decided to leave it for now.
No matter what, Weed liked the finished sculpture.
It’s not like he can edit a sculpture that is this complete.
Because the woman’s or rather Seoyoon’s face was turned toward the cave wall, it wouldn’t be easy to look at unless one purposefully put an effort into it.

Like always, Seoyoon logged in when night was about to end.
Unless there were dishes to clean after eating or leather to sort that was stacked up to be done from hunting, she logged in on time.
She didn’t log in much in the past.
But after coming with Weed to the North, she was never late.
A place where freezing air flowed about.
But today, warm wind came from deep inside the cave.
