Haim was a young woman living in a remote mountain village within the Civilian Control Line.

Suffering from a rare condition called “auditory resonance syndrome,” she was a wild ginseng digger who used her ability to hear what others could not—allowing her to avoid landmines while foraging for ginseng and medicinal herbs.

One day, in search of the legendary Heaven-grown wild ginseng, Haim ventured into a restricted area—only to stumble upon a man buried alive, covered in blood, and saved him.

“As you can see, I’ve lost my memory… I can’t recall anything.”

“…”

“So, Miss Im Haim… I need your help.”

The man had forgotten both his name and his past. Though he exuded an aura that warns others to keep their distance, Haim falls for him at first sight—even as he stands there covered in dirt, still somehow radiant.

“You said you’re afraid of ghosts. What if I’m something even scarier than one, hm?”

“I… I’m okay with that.”

Jin Muhyeok was the core weapon of the overseas special operations unit “NEXA.” Miraculously surviving on the brink of death, he recovered under Haim’s devoted care. Feigning amnesia, he decided to uncover the secrets hidden within the suspicious village.

“Are you always this kind to people you pity?”

“…Pardon?”

“I mean, do you treat other men like you’d give them your heart and soul too?”

“N-No. I’m not kind to just anyone.”

As he watched her—so pure, so devoted— Muhyeok began to feel emotions he was supposed to remain detached from rising in unexpected ways.
