After the tragic loss of his wife, a brilliant engineer creates his legacy: an android named Chan, designed to learn, grow, and protect, with all the intelligence of the human world-and none of the emotions. But when his creator's final wish places Chan with the Hwang family, he's thrust into high school life as Hyunjin's new "boyfriend."

Hyunjin is everything Chan isn't: bold, popular, and unafraid to push boundaries. Their relationship is supposed to be an act, a simple cover. But as Chan's quiet strength and kindness shine through, and as he learns to navigate friendship, jealousy, and the strange concept of "love," Hyunjin begins to realize there's more to him than circuitry.

In a world where Chan's only purpose was to protect, he'll discover what it means to care, to feel, and perhaps even to fall in love. And when emotions start to slip through the system, it becomes clear: sometimes, even a machine can have a soul.
