"James?"
"Oh? Andre?"
Andre, an art professor at the Engineering University of Milan in Italy, and James, dean of the sculpture department at Yale University, had reunited after nearly a decade in Korea.
"It's really you, Andre! It's been so long. That ill-suited beard still remains."
"Hahaha. James, do you still wear that ridiculous beret?"
They hadn't seen each other in almost ten years, but the two joked around and caught up as if they had just seen each other the day before.
"They said you wouldn't know what would become of people, but who would have thought that we would reunite like this in Korea at Son’s behest?"
"That's what I'm saying."
Invited by their mutual friend Son, Andre and James had arrived in Korea, unaware that the other was also there.
"I can't refuse Son's request."
The Son they were speaking of was Son Ho-chul, the current dean of the sculpture department at Seoul National University. He had invited two notable people in the art world as judges for the Mt. Taebaek International Snow Sculpture Competition.
