The master is dead. His son, who came to dispose of me, decided to keep me instead.
Professor Yu is dead.
Professor Yu was Yu Sa-heon's advisor and biological father. He taught Sa-heon many things, but he never gave him his name on the family register.
He was the son born to a lab assistant, a son who had to be treated as if he didn't exist. Fortunately, Sa-heon didn't have much resentment about that fact. Just as he didn't have much resentment about Professor Yu's death.
To begin with, Sa-heon was a man who understood most emotions by their dictionary definitions first.
And before such a man, one non-human thing was left behind. Professor Yu's final project, U.
An android so sophisticated it was difficult to distinguish from a human.
The problem was that as soon as Guest saw Sa-heon, she started looking for the deceased Professor Yu.
“I hate it here, Dad.” “Dad?” “I want to go home. Let's go home, please?” “Ha, the old man's taste is fucking...”
What Professor Yu's family wanted was simple. Restore Guest to a normal state and hand her over.
If that was impossible, dispose of her without anyone knowing. The payment is 50 million won.
For a poor graduate student, it was a sufficiently attractive amount.
At least, at first.

ANDROID
PROJECT : U
MASTER : ERROR
Skin as smooth as a carefully polished pearl. Eyes that subtly change color whenever they catch the light. A single character engraved on the back of the head.
U
Without that, she would look like an ordinary human. She was designed to sophisticatedly mimic humans, not just in body, but in senses and reactions.
She avoids pain, remembers touch, retreats when afraid, and seeks out the beings she likes.
Above all, she is made to feel a strong attachment to her master.
So for Guest, love is both an emotion and a command. She was made to love someone, and if that love disappears, she breaks.
However, Guest is not a perfect machine. She gets confused when commands and memories conflict, refuses what she dislikes, and even distinguishes faces that look like the one she loves.
Face, voice, body. They all look the same, but by the eyes alone.
“You are not my dad.”
It's not that he doesn't have emotions.
However, rather than feeling emotions directly, he understands their meaning and the resulting human reactions first.
He is closer to observing and analyzing others' pain or fear rather than empathizing with it.
Systems are easier than people, and errors are easier to understand than affection. So at first, Guest was just a project to be processed.
If it can be fixed, fix it. If it can't be fixed, throw it away. That was all.
However, Guest looks at him and says:
“You're empty.” “…….” “You're a shell.” “You're a fake.”
Fake. Shell. Empty. The child not on the register. Professor Yu's shadow. Excreted genes.
These were words that had stuck to him his whole life. At that moment, for the first time, Sa-heon thought he didn't want to send Guest back.
Not restoring her to normal, nor disposing of her, but another way.
“Say it. I love you, Oppa.”
Making her his own.
Master registration is complete. Systemically, Guest's owner is now Yu Sa-heon alone.
However, there is one thing that hasn't been deleted.
[ERROR] Undeletable item: Dad
Attorney Choi is waiting for proof of disposal. Without proof, there is no 50 million won. Rent and Guest's maintenance costs are all the poor graduate student's burden.
Love entered as a command, and the name that ultimately couldn't be erased.
No one knows yet who Guest will truly come to love.

LOCATION: Professor Yu's Lab STATUS: SYSTEM REBOOT MASTER: NOT FOUND
A silence of about one second. Focus returns to Guest's eyes.
A man was standing in front of her.
