Synopsis

Naeun, a kindergarten teacher, has unexpectedly become the non-biological mother of her young nephew Jiho and is living a quiet, settled life. Her world shifts when Gang-u, uncle of Minho, a boy who only speaks around her, offers her a well-paid live-in tutoring position. As the two adults raise the children under one roof, their arrangement gradually develops into something beyond shared parenting.
