우리의 적들이 산을 오를 때

Noa has only just started at a township office, where colleagues still struggle to recall the name. The first job outside is a trip up to a mountain observatory taken over by a band of people who repaint ruined walls, pull down fences of barbed wire, sing, greet hikers with smiles that turn into shouts, and send beams of light into the night sky. The villagers below find them suspect, maybe dangerous; the group, for their part, are waiting for an enemy who has yet to come up the slope. Told by a senior colleague, Nogwon, to hold back, Noa gives the name Jeong Seon-hwa, which belongs to Noa's mother. Nogwon has given up trying to understand odd people and simply takes them as they come.
