The cold air immediately rushed into the house, but it was quickly neutralized by the warm indoor heating.
When Go Okrim returned to the living room after checking everything, Kim Haru had already cleared all the ice from the door.
"The windows and vents are all intact," Go Okrim reported, "but they're all covered in thick ice."
"Alright, stay warm. Come with me to take a look outside."
Even standing near the doorway, Kim Haru could feel the bitter cold outside. Fully bundled up from head to toe, the two ventured out. They made sure to leave the door slightly ajar to maintain airflow for the animals inside.
Once outside, they were greeted by the sight of their house, now encased in ice.
Not just Kim Haru's cabin, but even the neighboring staff dormitory was sealed in a thick layer of ice. The two buildings looked like models carved from ice, with only their general outlines visible under the frosty coating.
