Yunjae was born with small amygdalae which kept him from feeling anger or fear or knowing how to respond with other emotions. He lives with his mother and grandmother who love him but obsess over teaching him emotions so he won’t be an oddity at school. Gon was kidnapped as a young child and reunited with his father as a teenager filled with rage. Both boys land at the same school where Gon at first torments and beats up Yunjae, frustrated that he can’t bring out his emotions. Both outcasts, the boys are drawn to each other in an uneasy friendship.
