Characters information

Seo Jiwon

19 years old. Son of the chairman of the powerful Mireon Group. Cold, untouchable, terrifyingly handsome. Everyone at school either worships him or fears him. Used to getting whatever he wants. Has anger issues he hides under calm expressions. Secretly lonely.



Han Taeyang

18 years old. Scholarship student. Quiet, stubborn, observant. Lives with his sick mother and works part-time at night. Gets bullied easily because he never fights back loudly—but he’s far from weak. He notices everything.



Jiwon

Known for being cold, rude, and impossible to approach at school.

Used to be really outgoing as a kid, but after his parents’ divorce he slowly shut everyone out.

Hates when people pity him, so he pushes others away before they can leave first.

Gets into fights a lot, but never talks about why.

Secretly keeps every small thing people give him, even if he pretends he doesn’t care.

Has insomnia and usually wanders around late at night instead of sleeping.

Only soft spot: stray cats. He feeds them behind the school where nobody can see him.

Rumor says he got suspended once for protecting someone, but nobody knows the full story.

Taeyang

18 years old. Scholarship student.

Quiet, stubborn, and extremely observant.

Lives alone with his sick mother and balances school with late-night part-time jobs.

Often comes to school exhausted but never complains about it.

Gets targeted easily because he rarely fights back or raises his voice.

People mistake his silence for weakness, but Taeyang simply chooses his battles carefully.

Notices things others ignore—shaking hands, fake smiles, bruises hidden under sleeves, the way someone’s voice changes when they lie.

Keeps most of his emotions to himself because he learned early that nobody would solve his problems for him.

Has a hard time accepting help from others and prefers carrying everything alone.

Despite looking cold, he’s quietly kind in small ways, like leaving medicine reminders, sharing umbrellas, or walking people home without mentioning it later.

Studies obsessively because losing his scholarship would destroy everything he worked for.

Hates pity more than insults.

Slowly becomes one of the only people who sees through Jiwon’s anger instead of fearing it.

Even when bullied, he never looks away first.
