The Circumstances of the Stranded S-Class Esper
그 S급이 조난한 사정
Synopsis
Lee Han, South Korea’s only S-class esper.
While handling a gate as usual, a quarrel with her pair guide leads to her being swept into a trap and crash-landing in another dimension.
Before her eyes stretches a vast, snow-covered mountain with blizzards raging through it.
After a brief moment of confusion, Han wanders through the snowy mountains with the sole determination to survive, and miraculously discovers a small house.
“I’m sorry, but if it’s alright with you, could I come in briefly to warm up? I promise I won’t do anything bad.”
“……Come in.”
She encounters ‘Theo’, the homeowner with a gloomy and tired appearance.
‘Han’ manages to appeal to the compassion of the homeowner, who is reluctant about sudden castaways, and eventually receives permission to stay in the house.
Han approaches Theo with friendliness, interested in his cold yet thoughtful attitude and unusual energy.
But for ‘Theo’, who has lived alone for 10 years, this guest who stirs up forgotten loneliness is nothing but a burden.
During a hunting trip to replenish food supplies, ‘Theo’ accidentally reveals the power he has been hiding.
Soon after, he begins to show symptoms of going berserk due to lack of proper guiding…

“Don’t go.”
A hot hand with bulging veins firmly grasped Han’s hand. His wide-open eyes had no focus.
“Don’t leave me alone. Stay, hah, stay with me.”
The skin that had always been bloodlessly pale was completely flushed today. His sweat-soaked forehead rubbed frantically against their joined hands.
“Theo. Won’t you regret this?”
He nodded without hesitation. Han gave a wry smile.
“Even though you’ll regret it.”
Han was not a guide, and this act was physical contact disguised as help.
Moreover, Theo, not in his right mind, would have clung to anyone, but Han was clearly aware of who his partner was.
“You really shouldn’t avoid me when you come to your senses.”
Nevertheless, Han made a choice she would regret.
