Three siblings—a chemical engineer, an architect, and a high school student—are suddenly given seemingly useless supernatural abilities that they have no idea what they're supposed to do with. Jane finds that her fingernails, and just her fingernails, are nearly indestructible (and uncuttable). Meanwhile, Jaehoon's vision turns red at seemingly random times, and Jaewook is given the ability to walk up to any elevator and have it waiting for him no matter what. To complicate things further, each sibling receives a cryptic note to “Save One,” “Save Two,” or “Save Three” with no further explanation.
From Chung Serang, the award-winning author and writer of Netflix's The School Nurse Files, and translator Anton Hur comes a story about nothing-much coincidences and ordinary kindnesses.
