Two hungry strangers. One last pack of their favourite soon-to-be-phased-out ramyeon… which they both grabbed at exactly the same time. To share or not to share—or to simply slug it out? That is the existential question.  

"I know you don't know me... But I'm here; I'm not going anywhere till you wake up, got it? …So please wake up. If not today… then tomorrow, or the day after, just... soon, okay? …Don't ask me why. I don't know either. All I know is you saved me from a fate worse than death; even if you don't know it. So I promise... I'll save you back."

He's been in love since forever but never once made a move, knowing the boy he fancies is on a totally different league. But all his non-existent relationship woes are miraculously solved when a remarkably lifelike robot prototype modelled after his secret crush to a tee raps at his door professesing undying love. With its lifetime warranty, can Seong Gi-hun finally be—as SYON TECH's slogan goes—"guaranteed a happily ever after" with Model No. 218? (Will the real "No.218" hold his peace??)

Seong Gi-hun knew, fatalistically speaking, that he had lost any chance at true happiness from the day he was born as a rare breed of thought-to-be-extinct omegas cursed unfree to do something that everyone else was free to. He cannot, come what may, under any circumstance, allow anyone to steal his heart. Because for a penguin omega like him, not unlike all the unfortunate penguin omegas that have come before him– to fall in love… is a death sentence.
