Yunjae nació con alexitimia, una enfermedad que le impide reconocer y expresar emociones, y que está asociada a un crecimiento inferior de la amígdala cerebral, generalmente del tamaño de una almendra. Su madre soltera y su abuela hacen todo lo posible por ayudarlo a relacionarse con los demás, si bien en la escuela se enfrenta a la intimidación y al rechazo de sus compañeros por su comportamiento indolente. Pero un día ocurre la tragedia: en la tarde de su decimosexto cumpleaños, la madre y la abuela de Yunjae son víctimas de un violento ataque callejero que termina con su abuela muerta y su madre postrada en cama en estado vegetativo. Yunjae tendrá entonces que vivir solo y encargarse de la librería de libros usados de su familia. Es entonces cuando sucede el inesperado encuentro con Gon, un chico volátil, propenso al mal humor y a las peleas, que ha sufrido una infancia traumática. Ambos son polos opuestos, pero el rechazo que sufren —cada uno por diferentes razones— por una sociedad que no los entiende, hace que pasen de ser enemigos, a cultivar una peculiar amistad. ¿Podrá la relación con Gon, el encuentro con una chica llamada Dora que sólo sueña con correr, y su intervencion.

Yunjae will then have to live alone and take care of his family's used bookstore. It is then that the unexpected encounter with Gon happens, a volatile boy, prone to bad humor and fights, who has suffered a traumatic childhood. Both are polar opposites, but the rejection they suffer - each for different reasons - by a society that does not understand them, makes them go from being enemies to cultivating a peculiar friendship. Can the relationship with Gon, the meeting with a girl named Dora who only dreams of running, and his intervention. Read more
