In a world overrun by monsters, humanity survives aboard massive ships where they live out their days in flight. Aboard one such vessel, a boy named Seo Suho is born—possessing a rare trait that makes him uniquely capable of connecting with the very monsters that threaten them.
As he nears adulthood, a tragic event claims the lives of his family. Following in the footsteps of his late parents, Seo Suho becomes a researcher. His ultimate goal: to tame these monsters and convert them into military beasts—living weapons to reclaim the earth from its monstrous invaders.
“It’s best you don’t put too much trust in me.”
But along the way, he uncovers the harrowing truth behind the tragedy of his past.
“…What if someone you liked suddenly showed up?”
And as long-buried feelings resurface, emotions begin to spiral. In the midst of confusion and buried truths— Can Seo Suho find the answers to the path he must take?

“Because you’re here?”
Seo Suho raised his head and looked directly at Min Yugeon. Min Yugeon’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What?”
“Because you’re here… I guess I’ve never felt the need to date anyone.”
They’d shared most of life’s big and small moments. With someone who could understand him with just a glance, how could he ever feel lonely?
A lover may be different from family or friends—but no matter who it was, no one could ever mean as much to him as Min Yugeon.
“…Suho.”
Min Yugeon let out a groan, covering his face with one hand. The skin visible between his thick fingers was flushed a deep red.
Was he… embarrassed?
“You say stuff like that way too casually.”
His voice had dropped to a murmur. The air felt strangely like a confession had just been made.
But all Suho had done was answer honestly… Caught off guard by Min Yugeon’s reaction, he clamped his lips shut, suddenly self-conscious.
“……”
“……”
Silence fell between them—an awkward, unfamiliar stillness that rarely existed in their relationship.
“But I liked it.”
After a long pause, Min Yugeon finally spoke.
“Those words.”
Lowering his hand, his deep brown eyes locked onto Suho’s.
For a moment, Suho forgot to breathe. It wasn’t the first time he’d seen Min Yugeon smile like that, but… this time, something felt different.
