Moo is a twelfth-grader who dreams of debuting as an idol and has just transferred to a new school, where the cliques have already formed and nobody makes room for him at lunch. Kang, who sells curry over rice in the school canteen, notices the lonely new boy, gives him a free plate and keeps an eye on him. Kang's kindness stirs more than gratitude in Moo, but an idol debut comes with a rule against relationships. The book was adapted into the series Only Boo.
