Seoul, a city of lights and shadows. Jihoon, at the age of eight, lived in a world that seemed perfect to everyone around him.
His mother, Eun-Ji, a celebrated actress, graced every screen, and his father, Seung-Ho, a renowned scientist, was respected for his groundbreaking research on the mysteries of human existence.
But behind the walls of their luxurious home, Jihoon felt an overwhelming loneliness. He was different. He had known this ever since the day, during a schoolyard argument,
he had touched another boy's hand and felt, like an electric wave, the deepest thoughts of that child flooding into his mind. Jihoon had a power. Unique, strange, and terrifying.
His father, always immersed in his work, often told him: "The meaning of life, Jihoon, isn't given to you. It's built. And you have the ability to build something extraordinary."
Those words, though inspiring, placed an immense weight on the boy's small shoulders.
Jihoon began to feel a void he couldn't explain. Was it the shadow of his father? The distance of his mother? Or this power he didn't yet understand?
Elsewhere in the city, Jae-Hyun, a boy his age, lived a very different life. Where Jihoon had luxury and security, Jae-Hyun had only coldness and rejection.
He didn't know it yet, but their destinies were about to collide and change forever.
