A woman returns to a familiar temple, only to find an impossible reservoir waiting where the well should be. Drawn by cold water and a seductive snake, she descends toward the place where body, desire, and disappearance begin to merge. After a long period indoors, an unnamed narrator is allowed to visit Baegnyeonsa, a familiar temple that should offer nothing more than a walk. But a violent wind tears open the grounds: the well disappears, a reservoir rises in its place, and from its cold surface a water snake begins to call. As children, monks, drums, rain, and memory drift in and out of focus, the narrator's body becomes a site of longing, terror, and transformation. Drawn toward the snake and the bottom of the reservoir, she searches for the long, soft body she believes she lacks*. In Cold Water* is a surreal Korean literary short story about desire, dissociation, and the chilling wish to cross the border between self and other.
