Snow Child
WINTER BLOOD ❄️
Episode 1 — “Snow Child”
---
DAEGU — WINTER, 2009
Snow was falling softly from the dark sky.
Tiny footsteps pressed against the white ground as two little children ran through the street laughing.
---
LITTLE TAEYUN (4)
Small pink gloves. Tiny scarf almost bigger than her face.
And in her hands—
a snow bear she made herself.
---
LITTLE TAEHYUN (5)
Running behind her dramatically.
---
Taehyun:
“Yah! Kang Taeyun! Wait for me!”
---
Taeyun turned around laughing loudly.
---
Taeyun:
“Oppa is too slow!”
---
THEIR LITTLE WORLD ❄️
To them—
the world was simple.
Snow. Warm hands. Family.
---
Taeyun suddenly stopped running.
Then carefully held out the tiny snow bear toward him.
---
Taeyun:
“When we grow up… promise you won’t leave me?”
---
Taehyun blinked.
Then puffed his chest proudly.
---
Taehyun:
“I’m your oppa. I’ll protect you forever.”
---
And honestly?
Little Taeyun believed him completely.
---
HOME — NIGHT
But that same night—
everything changed.
---
Voices echoed through the house.
Loud. Angry.
---
Their parents were fighting again.
---
Taeyun sat quietly near the stairs holding her snow bear tightly.
Scared.
---
Meanwhile—
Taehyun stood in front of her protectively.
Even though he was scared too.
---
THE ARGUMENT
---
Mother:
“She’s staying with him.”
---
Father:
“No. I’m not leaving her here.”
---
Taeyun didn’t understand the words.
Only the fear.
---
THE MOMENT
Suddenly—
a glass shattered loudly.
Taeyun flinched instantly.
---
Then—
Taehyun grabbed her small hand.
---
Taehyun:
“Don’t cry… I’m here.”
---
But sometimes—
love isn’t enough to stop people from leaving.
---
THE SEPARATION ❄️
That winter night—
the siblings were separated.
---
Taehyun left with their mother.
Taeyun stayed with their father.
---
And the saddest part?
They were too young to understand it was goodbye.
---
YEARS LATER
DAEGU — 2018
Rain poured heavily across the streets.
---
A teenage girl rushed through crowded roads carrying grocery bags while wearing oversized headphones.
---
Kang Taeyun.
18 years old now.
---
Still smiling.
Even after life gave her every reason not to.
---
HER LIFE
Tiny apartment. Part-time jobs. Dance training. No family.
---
Only one old box remained beside her bed.
Filled with:
faded photographs
old letters
childhood memories
And one tiny snow bear keychain.
---
NIGHT
After returning home exhausted from work—
Taeyun opened the old box again quietly.
---
A picture slipped into her hands.
A blurry childhood photo.
A woman. A little boy.
And herself.
---
Her fingers gently touched the little boy’s face.
---
Taeyun (whispering):
“…Oppa.”
---
Silence filled the room.
---
Because she still didn’t know:
where her mother was
whether her brother remembered her
or if they were even alive
---
But despite everything—
she never stopped hoping.
---
SEOUL — SAME NIGHT
Inside a tiny cramped practice room—
seven exhausted trainees collapsed onto floor after dance practice.
---
The rookie group:
AURORA ❄️
Dreams bigger than their reality.
---
JAE MIN
Leader. Tired but determined.
---
Jae Min:
“If we fail this showcase… we’re done.”
---
The room went silent immediately.
---
JUNGWOO
The youngest member quietly sat in corner drinking water silently.
Observing everything.
---
TAEHYUN
Meanwhile—
Taehyun stared outside snowy window absentmindedly.
Like searching for something he couldn’t explain.
---
Then suddenly—
a strange headache hit him.
---
Flash.
Tiny girl laughing in snow.
> “Oppa!”
---
Taehyun frowned slightly.
Confused.
---
Jiho:
“Hyung? You okay?”
---
Taehyun slowly nodded.
---
Taehyun:
“…yeah.”
---
But honestly?
For some reason—
his chest suddenly felt painfully empty.
---
FINAL SCENE ❄️
Taeyun sat alone beside apartment window watching snow fall quietly.
---
Far away—
Taehyun looked at same winter sky from Seoul.
---
Neither knew it yet.
But after years apart—
fate had already started pulling them back together. ❄️
