Summary
If not for the faint blue glow in its pupils, one could have easily mistaken the android for a human. It was around average height, svelte but broad-shouldered, with dark, silky, slightly wavy hair just long enough to glance off the collarbones, a sharp jawline, well-defined lips, a subtly aquiline nose, and eyes that held a puppylike innocence.
At nineteen, Kwak Jiseok designs the programming architecture that brings androids into the world. At twenty-four, he's told he only has about five years left to live. As his health declines, he moves out into the countryside to wait for his illness to claim him, with his cat Snoopy for company and android model P5-0912, "Jooyeon", as a live-in nurse and housekeeper.
But then something about Jooyeon begins to change, and Jiseok can no sooner understand it than his own inexplicable feelings.

Summary
Jungsu said nothing for a long moment, either unsure what to say or unwilling to say something he knew Jiseok would scoff at, like “Maybe you should give therapy another go” or “I found a new dating app you might like”.
When eventually he did speak, he said, “Have you ever thought about getting a pet?”
Twenty-three-year-old Kwak Jiseok is married to his work, with nothing to go home to and little to live for.
Twenty-eight-year-old Kwak Jiseok has a painful past and an uncertain future, but he wants nothing more than to live, even if it’s easier said than done.
