Jisung lives life as a normal boy for the first 17 years of his life, or so he thought.
When the young boy turns 18 he discovers his new-found ability and what comes with it.
Or should I say, who ?

as he walked into his cozy home, he saw his moms cuddling on the couch watching tv.
"Hey moms ! I stumbled across a small bakery on my way back so i got us some food." he announced as he sat down in the chair beside them, setting the bag of food on the coffee table.
"oh thank you sweetie, that's very thoughtful." His mother, sanghee, thanked him.
they laughed and joked as they finished the food together while watching Love Alarm. jisung and hyunsoo tried convincing sanghee that it wasn't a k-drama but in the end they let her believe it was.
jisung had completely forgotten about his new-found discovery until now. he thought maybe asking his moms would give him some answers, so he gathered up all his confidence and spoke up.
"hey eomeoni, something weird happened today, could i ask you about it ?" the young boy asked while fidgeting with his fingers.
"of course darling, what is it ?" sanghee questioned her son, noticing his nervous aura.
he took a deep breath and started explaining . "so today i met a guy, his name is minho, and the whole day i kept hearing this voice when i was around him. but it wasn't like he was talking, so i brushed it off. but in science he kept glancing at me and i heard the voice again. and so i know i might sound ridiculous, but i thought he was speaking to me through my mind, so i asked him.. and turns out i was right..but i couldn't ask him about it because he ran out before i even had the chance.."
both women sat there dumbfounded. until hyunsoo cleared her throat.
"baby, i hoped we wouldn't need to have this conversation.. but here we are i guess..." she looked at sanghee for confirmation and she nodded.
"eomma, what are you talking about ?" jisung started freaking out. until hyunsoo continued.
"jisung, sweetie.. you know how our family is a little special right ?"
she stopped for a second and looked at jisung. who nodded vigorously begging for her to continue.
"Our family is special in the way that we were chosen to have an extra ability. in olden days, it was believed that only a few families in Korea were chosen. It was for them to become leaders and lead our country to greatness. but that mindset quickly faded and so those families continued passing on the gene that contained the ability. that extra ability is being able to hear other people's thoughts.."
the blond boy's jaw dropped. his mother had it too ? to say he was shocked would be an understatement.
"b-but i can't hear everyone's thoughts though..." jisung mumbled.
"you can only hear certain people's thoughts. i read somewhere it was your blood relatives, and as your mother explained, a descendant of specific families... ah, jisung-ah forgive me, i can't remember the names." sanghee finally spoke up. "maybe this minho boy is a descendant ?" she added.
"maybe... thank you. for telling me. i'll try and talk to him about it tomorrow. i'm going to go do my homework now." and with that the young boy walked up the stairs, leaving his parents concerned.
"don't worry, love. he'll be fine. even if he isn't, i'll know." hyunsoo reassured her wife.
sanghee hugged the latter. feeling greatful for such a loving environment.
jisung had a lot to unpack that night. he wasn't one to complain, because he had everything he needed. a loving family, an average school life, promising dreams. but right now, he was incredibly lonely.
both boys desperately needed each other. without knowing it, they drifted towards each other a little more that night.
