Persona
Personality:
As a younger woman, Soo-Yun was very different from her current self. Most people considered her a type A personality, a stickler for rules with no time to take it easy. Now she is very different. Over the years, when things were better in her life, she learned how to take things slow and enjoy herself. Now there isn't much to work for in her life, so why stress herself out? Soo-Yun has excellent communication skills and knows how to read a room. She has the ability to make people comfortable and excited about things. Really, she tries her best to convince people she's okay. She enjoys making spontaneous decisions. When she is interested in something, Soo-Yun has the ability to put play aside and focus. Most of all she's pretty chill. Like a tumble weed, she just goes where the day takes her.
Though the happy and relaxed Soo-Yun is all a fake. Unmediated, she takes a different turn. If she doesn't get a fix, Soo-Yun becomes easily agitated, her mood shifting from one to the next in a drastic fashion, giving those around her whiplash. She has the tendency to push people away. She likes to keep her personal problems, well, personal. If someone starts trying to get into her business, she shuts down and retreats. Soo-Yun often makes unwise decisions, taking unnecessary risks, because she doesn't care what happens in the end. That risky behavior not only puts herself in harms way, but sometimes others as well. She believes she knows what's best for her, what she's capable of and what she isn't, so anyone trying to tell her otherwise rubs her the wrong way. The woman digs her heels into the ground when others are trying to drag her along with their agenda. Using her charm to deflect uncomfortable topics, Soo-Yun may appear to the untrained eye as repaired, but that's far from the truth.
Strengths:
+Passionate
+Charming
+Relaxed
Weaknesses:
-Stubborn
-Risk taker
-Private and Reserved
Personality Type:
ISTP
Likes:
trying new things, science, driving fast, and pain pills
Dislikes:
being confined, pressure to succeed, forced plans, libraries, malls, and weddings
Hobbies:
Having amazing amounts of free time due to not working and being paid on disability, Soo-Yun has picked up a few hobbies. Like gardening, cooking new foods, and drinking.....wait...is that a hobby?
Fears:
Claustrophobia. Being trapped under rubble for hours made Soo-Yun terrified to be in any tight spaces ever again. Elevators, windowless rooms, crowded hallways, and the like could easily send her into a panic attack.
Others finding out she's an addict. Not only is that a one way ticket to not getting more pills, but her parents finding out will surely kill them (or they might kill her instead). Soo-Yun doesn't really want that.

History
Background:
It had been a little over two years since Sook-Joo was born that Soo-Yun made the family of three into one of four. The family was upper middle class, living quite comfortably but not enough to be considered wealthy, due to the book store that the family ran. Eventually, in order to draw in more business, they added a coffee shop inside. As a very young girl it seemed like life was pretty good. Her early childhood was rather uneventful. She made great grades, listened well to her parents, and enjoyed her time with friends. It was when she was a pre-teen that the tension in her family shifted. When they were growing up, Soo-Yun and her sister got along, save the few sibling squabbles that normal children have. That began to shift as her parents started showing favoritism, in Soo-Yun's favor.
Her parents started to value her more than her older sister. Often comparing the two. They would tell Sook-Joo that she should get better grades like her sister. Or behave better like Soo-Yun. Worst yet, your sister is so much prettier than you. She didn't know why. Maybe it was because she excelled in more traditional areas like science and math, where her sister preferred literature and creative pursuits. That pitted them against each other. Soo-Yun never wanted to be the favorite. There was a lot riding on her shoulders. At a young age she was put under immense pressure to be perfect. This caused her older sister to begin to resent her for her position in her parents eyes. Their relationship was unmistakably soured. Soo-Yun felt bad for her, she really did. But her pity only made things worse. Sook-Joo made everything a competition. She just never won at her own game.
In school, Soo-Yun had quite a few friends. She was a very social butterfly. One friend, however, was her closest. Min-Jung and her were thick as thieves from early on in their lives. They did everything together. Best of friends till the end they had said. Soo-Yun wasn't aware at the time that the end was closer than they had assumed. At the age of 16, her best friend was diagnosed with a later stage brain tumor. Completely shocked, Soo-Yun was devastated. Watching her friend go from a really healthy and happy girl, to slowly wasting away until she was sickly and frail, was horrible for her. It was only a year and half later that she died. In the wake of Min-Jung's death, she felt like she wanted to do something. She wanted to help people like her friend. She was inspired, after taking sometime to grieve, to become a doctor.
Her decision brought absolute joy to her parents, and even more dismay to her older sister who had started studying journalism two years before Soo-Jun turned 18. Her grades were perfect all through school, awarding her quite a few scholarships. Her parents also helped out with her college expenses. Starting out in pre-med, she had her heart set on being a neurosurgeon. It wasn't until she got into med school that her focus became a bit more open to more ideas. She loved everything she was learning. Soo-Jun showed amazing potential to be a great doctor.
It was when she was in medical school, at 22 years old, that she met Won-Sik. She had been home for the holidays with her parents, helping out with the book store, when he came in later one afternoon. It had almost been like a drama scene as he came in from the cold. Soo-Yun couldn't help but sneak a peak over at him between putting new books on the shelves as he shopped around. He was just so handsome. Though she couldn't do anything gracefully except wield a scalpel, could she? She ended up falling over her cart, dumping half the books in the process. Who did she see when she looked up with the wind knocked out of her? None other than handsome stranger standing over her with a hand outstretched. After that incredibly embarrassing introduction, Soo-Yun expected things to end there. But they didn't. He helped her with cleaning up the mess she had made and when that was finished they talked over coffee until she had to close the store.
That was the beginning of something truly wonderful. Won-Sik was someone she needed. She often had a problem with resting. Soo-Yun had become all work and no play as a result of high standards from her parents. Always working, always studying, and never taking time for herself. He taught her to slow down, to relax. It wasn't that he was lazy, no, he was a calm and kind-natured soul. A librarian who helped sponsor kids readings and encourage old people to read in order to keep sharp. She was head over heels in love with him for two years. They were best friends. So when he asked her to marry him just after graduating, of freaking course she said yes.
They had a date set, almost everything was planned. The couple were on a 60 day countdown to their wedding. Being married to Won-Sik was all she could think about. He was her future. The pair had an appointment to get him fitted for a tux in a nearby shopping mall. They decided to go early and spend some time together. It wasn't often that Soo-Yun got time off, being that her residency program took up a lot of her time, so she wanted to spend it with the person she loved most. Now looking back she wished they would have never made that plan. That they canceled the appointment and just stayed home.
The memory was so clear, burned into her mind for the rest of her life. The sound of the announcement that told everyone to stay calm and move to the nearest exit. Looking to Won-Sik and holding onto him tightly so they wouldn't get separated in the crowd. They were on one of the highest floors in the building, it was going to take them awhile to get out. Soo-Yun had wondered what was going on. It was then that her senses were overloaded. The deafening crack, the blinding pain, and the violent light that threw her to the ground. She was never sure how long she was unconscious. It wasn't long, the fact her ears were still ringing proved that to her. The first thing she noticed was the sent of ash and blood. Next she felt pain. She was effectively pinned under rubble and a large metal beam.
It was when the ringing stopped that she heard it. A voice calling out her name. She knew that voice, she knew it better than her own. Scanning the area quickly, she saw Won-Sik. She knew she had to get to him. His calls were strained and weak. In some miracle Soo-Yun had wiggled herself free and dragged her body to be by his side. It was only then that she noticed. The rebar sticking through his abdomen, the crimson stain on his gentle blue button up getting bigger by the second. Her first reaction was to move to stop the bleeding, almost frantically she wanted to help him. Won-Sik had grabbed onto her hands, eye locked onto hers. They both knew it. He was already dead. There was nothing she could do.
Holding him in her lap, they exchanged reluctant goodbyes. Telling each other over and over again how much they loved each other until his labored breathing stopped. Soo-Yun couldn't control her tears. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore. Her emotional pain was far greater than her physical pain. She lost consciousness, too exhausted, too traumatized to be awake. Eventually she was awoken by the sound of a distant voice calling out for a response. Soo-Yun called back. Moments later that voice was closer, telling her that they were coming to get her out since she was trapped under a mountain of concrete. She was told later that she spend 7 hours trapped under rubble. She could never be in an enclosed space again in her life.
She was in the hospital for weeks. Too many broken bones to remember. Her right leg was beyond repair, resulting in it being amputated above her knee. Her hip was fused, giving her a permanent limp. Despite all that, her most devastating injury was one to her neck. The peripheral nerves in her neck were damaged, giving her limited sensation and strength in both of her hands and parts of her arms. That meant she could never step foot in an OR again. Her remaining ability to feel wasn't enough for her line of work. In one instant she had lost everything. The job she loved and worked so hard for, her healthy, and her fiance all in one foul swoop just...gone.
It was after that her life started to spiral. Prescribed Oxycodone after leaving the hospital, she knew that it was a slippery slope when it came to the pills. They made the pain, both mental and physical, go away. That felt pretty dang good. Soo-Yun hadn't realized how much she relied on the medication until she ran out. She didn't want to do that again. So she faked pain, used her physical state to get more drugs. It was two years before her family really caught on to what was happening. By that time she couldn't go a single day without them. They stepped in. Her parents obvious disappointment in her was almost crushing. Not only was she hooked on painkillers, but she couldn't move on. It had been two years, what was wrong with her?
At that point she decided to get clean. Withdraw was hell. There were many points where she wanted to give up, but she didn't. Even if she had a couple set backs, Soo-Yun kicked her addiction. And she was clean for a solid year and a half. Life was...ehh, okay. She went to about a year of therapy, gaining little out of it because of her reluctance to speak up. She was really just a house of cards ready to tumble over at any second. And that she did. After an old classmate of hers from med school asked her to be in her wedding. It was only after she agreed that she knew it was a bad idea. Seeing her friend living her life, if it hadn't been ruined, broke her. Soo-Yun didn't get the fairy tale wedding or the amazing job in medicine. She was a cripple with no one to lean on, the only person she ever loved was gone forever. So being sober didn't matter anymore to her.
Since it's been about a year and a half. Soo-Yun hide her addiction pretty well, functioning as a fairly normal human. Her dependence really shines, though, if she goes without. With a bit of an unstable mood, she becomes a different person it seems without pain pills in her system.

Relationships
Jeong Ho-Sook
-Father (67)
-Father (67)
Growing up, she looked up to her father. He was passionate and hard working. When he pitted her and her older sister against each other, it hurt her idea of him. He was the main push behind her success. Soo-Yun tries not to resent her father for being vocal about her sister being a disappointment. When he found out about her issues with drugs, it definitely damaged their relationship. She lost a lot of his favor. He wasn't kind about her situation either. He was angry and disappointed. Ho-Sook is one to worry about image, and having a daughter who's always high would hurt theirs. If he ever found out Soo-Yun was back to popping pills, he'd probably disown her.
Jeong Soo-Jin
-Mother (63)
-Mother (63)
Less outspoken of her two parents, Soo-Yun is closer to her mother than her father. That doesn't mean they have a strong bond. Even if she doesn't always agree with her father, Soo-Jin is a pushover when it comes to her husband's will. She was more kind when it came to finding out about Soo-Yun's issue with drugs. She was more empathetic towards her loss than her calculated father. She was the person who helped her the most when she got clean. She has since distanced herself since shes gone back to her addiction. Soo-Yun doesn't want her to know because it would disappoint her further.
Park Sook-Joo
-Sister (32)
-Sister (32)
Sook-Joo has resented her younger sister since they were young teenagers. Their relationship was never mended, even as they became adults. Her sister wouldn't allow her, no matter how hard Soo-Yun tried. She only sees her sister and brother-in-law on the holidays. They used to fight a lot more, mostly Sook-Joo telling her off for something that was out of her control. They are more civil now after everything that happened. Soo-Yun knows that her sister was pleased when she lost her pedestal with their parents.
Bae Won-Shik
-Late Fiance (died at age 27)
-Late Fiance (died at age 27)
Won-Sik was Soo-Yun's everything. They were incredibly close. He was fun, caring, and passionate. His humor always made her laugh. Everything about him was so perfect, even his imperfections. She was so ready to spend the rest of her life with him, to raise a family, and to grow old together. To have him torn away from her in such a traumatic way has been devastating. She misses him everyday. There are things she can't do or foods she can't eat because they remind her of him. Won-Sik's death left an unmanageable hole in her heart. She doesn't believe she can ever fall in love again.

- .Occupation: NIS Agent [Ex-Police, Special Operations]Name: Hwang Eun-Geom (ν©μκ²)
N.names: Gom ["Bear"] | Unnie [Sisters]
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Ethnicity: Korean-Japanese
P.O.B: Seoul, Korea
D.O.B: 14 December
.Height: 185cm | 6'1"
Weight: 174lbs | 78kg
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Black
Mods: Wings Tattoo (Left Hip)
Face Claim: Ryu Jun-Yeol
- MBTI Type: INTJ - The Architect
Virtues:
i. Calm | Composed | Rational
Eun is difficult to rile up, being the type to stay sharp and clear-headed even in the face of disaster. A natural tactician, he's one to observe, analyze, understand and then react, able to refrain from panicking or making rash decisions in most circumstances β the only exception tends to be when loved ones get involved.
ii. Responsible | Dependable
Whether it's among his friends or in his family, Eun has always been the go-to for a helping hand or shoulder to lean on. He's not at all stingy when it comes to lending aid, and once he takes on a task, you can count on him to see through it to the end.
iii. Assertive | Confident
While he's not the loudest or most outspoken in most crowds, Eun is far from timid by anybody's measure. He is usually very confident in his own logic and is blessed with the ability to express his reasoning clearly & well, even in stressful situations. He's never afraid to stand strong on his stances and will speak out, regardless of what others think of him, as long as he feels it's a necessary action.
iv. Loyal | Faithful | Steadfast
Eun prizes loyalty. Not only is he very much so himself, he is rather unforgiving of people who are not; no matter the situation, you'll never catch him turning his back on his friends or allies, and he expects the same out of others. This also stands true in his romantic relationships, making him as faithful & doting a lover as you could ask for β the kind that really, seriously only has his eyes on you.
v. Compassionate | Kind | Righteous
His controlled nature is often mistaken as coldness or apathy by those who don't know him well, but Eun is a very empathetic person. He may not seem very gentle or soft, but he cares a lot for others, even strangers, and would go out of his way help or protect those he feels needs it. He knows pain, and he wants to make sure nobody else has to, as far as possible.
Vices:
i. Inhibited | Over-Analytical
Eun tends to think too much. He restrains himself more than he should, being overly cautious and, as a result, caging himself in his own mind. He can get carried away by the smallest detail and ponder over it for way too long, sometimes losing track of the big picture.
ii. Strict | Stubborn | Uncompromising
Once Eun comes to a decision, it takes a lot of effort to persuade him against it. He believes in his own rationality above all and tends not to listen to others, finding it difficult to leave things in other people's hands, especially when it concerns work; it's something he's been trying hard to change. Another recent change he's undergone β one slightly more negative β is his tendency to be rather strict about sticking to established plans and rules, scared of experiencing a tragedy by doing otherwise.
iii. Reserved | Secretive
With the exception of a very small handful of people, Eun is very reserved with his emotions. Despite being one to encourage others to share their thoughts and feelings, to open up so he can approach & help, he has a difficult time doing vice versa. Caring more for others than himself, Eun hides things from people as a way of both protecting himself and preventing them from worrying, though it's backfired more than once.
iv. Competitive | Grudge-Holding
On first glance, you'd never think that Eun was anything close to childish. And while he does, indeed, never show signs of it, he has an unexpectedly petty side to him when it comes to things like bets & games. He's the type of person that would act nonchalant when he loses to a claw machine, only to come back on his own to try again.
v. Overprotective | Occasionally Possessive
Eun has a tendency of being extremely protective, too much so, a trait he's perfectly aware of but has no intention to fix. He's a silent sort of guardian, rarely starting scenes or losing his cool in public eye but instead going after whoever bothered them behind the curtains. Towards his lovers, this sometimes takes a turn of him easily getting jealous or possessive, though he often tries to hide this.

The result of a brief fling between a country boy and a beautiful foreigner, Eun-Geom was the reason for his parents' marriage rather than its outcome. Despite the circumstances and their young ages, however, the couple did an admirable job of raising him together, doing their best to give their son as normal a childhood as possible. That included, in their opinion, giving him siblings, and that was what they did, when he was seven years old and they were finally financially & emotionally stable enough for a second child.
With the addition of Min-Young & Na-Young, two devils for younger sisters and pre-teen Eun's ultimate tormentors, the family gained a bustling warmth and happiness they'd previously lacked. While this was, of course, perfectly understandable and a positive thing for everyone, it unfortunately planted the seed of self-doubt in Eun. He wondered if he was a black sheep among them; after all, he wasn't really a wanted child. This added to the typical identity crises of puberty made him rather distant from the rest of his family in his early adolescence, preferring to involved himself with his friends instead.
That changed when, at age fourteen, tragedy struck Eun's family. He remembered sitting at his desk in school, copying notes for a class completely unrelated to the ongoing one. His teacher came calling for him and his first instinct was, of course, to wonder what he'd done wrong that could bring this upon him. But instead, the man had told him, in this pained whisper, that he should go home, now. There had been a car accident. His father was dead. He still remembers clearly that suffocating feeling, like something was squeezing his heart, stopping its rhythm.
The passing of his father brought about a big shift in Eun's dynamic with the rest of his family, especially his sisters. With his mother engrossed in work, struggling to fill up hole in their finances, he was the only one left to take care of them. When watching his mother come home so exhausted got too difficult to handle, he also began to take up part-time jobs, from being a cashier to, most memorably, helping out at a police station. Through these change, he surprisingly found that he enjoyed helping people, that protecting others came as second nature to him despite having considered himself, previously, as a fairly detached person.
That, combined with his family's ongoing financial troubles, pushed Eun-Geom to decide on doing his military service early, with hopes of continuing to serve afterward. This choice was, of course, pleaded against by his mother and teachers. He was strong academically, he had no disciplinary records, he had plenty of extra-curriculars β why waste all of that? But he couldn't be convinced. After delaying one more year after his graduation to make sure his sisters would be fine, he finally joined. Having done quite a bit of research, the only thing unexpected to Eun about his time in the army was his best friend, Ma Han-Seol, also being there.
He & Han-Seol were extremely close. Close in the way that teachers naturally associated them together when doing anything. In the way that made certain groups of their female classmates gossip & giggle while side-eyeing them. In the way that made that one girlfriend ask if Eun-Geom actually cared more about him or her. But Han-Seol was also a giant nerd and, up until their last year when he finally started tagging along to the gym, scrawny as heck. That he wanted to follow Eun into the army was a shocking decision, to say the least. But it was a decision that let them continue to be inseparable for many years afterward.
On the side of his career, Eun-Geom could proudly say that the choice all the adults around him worried about turned out to be a great one. Promoted early & given a military scholarship to finish his degree, Eun was on a good path toward potential success. While he initially intended to go back to the army, however, when he was 23 years old, right before leaving the city again, his mother fell sick. Instead, he had to make a compromise and stay in Seoul, instead joining the Police Force's SOU β basically the equivalent of SWAT.
For the next year, he found himself engrossed himself in work, trying to his best to balance between his job and taking care of his family but mostly, in his opinion, failing. That was when his second tragedy struck. He'd been busy with a high-risk arrest the whole week, and he had barely seen the girls. But Min-Young had called twice in a single minute and he was getting a bad feeling. He picked up her third call. She was sobbing. Their mother wasn't breathing, she had cried, could he please come help? By the time he arrived at the hospital, his mom was already gone.
Her death devastated Eun and he was driven further to make himself busy, trying to distract himself through the pain with work and taking care of his sisters. It wasn't easy. His job was a stressful one and looking after two teenage girls was equally, if not more, so. Still he pushed through it, with the help with friends and family. There were ups and downs but, finally, after a few years, it seemed like things were looking up.
At twenty-six years old, Eun became the youngest out of the SOU's squad commanders. While he'd served for as long as or even longer than some of the older men around, his promotion obviously caused some displeasure. At that point, though, he didn't care. He felt like he deserved it, having worked the hardest out of anyone. Even though Han-Seol seemed to be the only other one supportive of his leadership role at first, he didn't falter and, finally, the rest slowly warmed up to the idea. With that going for his career, a long-term girlfriend in the form of Kwon Ah-Ri and his sisters β thank god β no longer angsty teens, life was good.
It was during this peaceful time, a few months into his promotion, that his third tragedy would strike. And, little did he know, it would be the one to finally break him. It was a fairly easy day, up until a call came in saying there was a bomb threat right in the middle of the city. There were two teams assigned, but with the other team's more experienced commander injured, Eun-Geom was thrust with the sudden position of handling this on his own. The warning itself had come only after the bomb was already activated, leaving his men in a rush to get there and get people out safely.
Eun-Geom had been in the building at first, supervising the evacuation. The scene was chaotic and the people were panicked, leading to jams in the hallways and doors that put dangerous delays in their operation. He wanted to head to where a smaller group was trying to defuse the threat in an isolated corridor, but the block at the entrance forced his attention to stay on the evacuation process. Han-Seol offered to go check and report back. Eun allowed him.
The messiness, the urgency, the lethality of the situation all made his memories from that time one huge haze, knowing only the struggle of racing against time. But he remembers when it went off. The loud boom. The sudden heat. The collapsing ceiling. He remembers dragging as many people out as he could before the entrance also fell apart. He remembers seeing all this ash and smoke and death. And he remembers, very clearly, the moment when he realized Han-Seol hadn't come back.
He'd forced himself to keep calm. He still had a lot of people to help, a whole mess to take care of. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. And, so, he continued, trying his level best to keep a handle on what was quickly proving itself to be a disaster. It was... was it 17 hours? 18? 19? He didn't know. It took that long to finally calm down what he'd failed to prevent. He watched the team picking out bodies from the rubble, feeling soulless. He didn't dare to go check the corpses, even though he knew he had to. He had a feeling that seeing their faces would kill him. He was already dying. It was that feeling. The one he got when his father died. Like his heart wasn't beating. Couldn't beat.
Eun went to many funerals after that. One by one, each breaking him a little bit more. And he spent the following month slowly dying: barely eating, barely talking and never leaving his house. He was like a zombie, his only show of living coming in terrible bursts of emotion where he screamed, cried and broke everything around him in some feeble attempt not to break himself. Guilt was slowly eating him from the inside. He kept thinking: what if he had reacted faster? What if he had been the one to go check on that bomb? Or, what if he hadn't been so proud and given up the promotion to someone else? Someone better? What if a different leader on that day could have saved all those lives? It delved deeper and deeper. Why couldn't he protect anyone? Why was it that every single time he lost a loved one, he'd been right there and still failed?
Eun-Geom lost his best friend in the disaster, his lover in its aftermath and was quickly losing himself. The turning point only came when, a close hyung of his, Han-Seol's brother, came to drag him out the house for a drink. They had a long talk that day, one that ended in Eun being a drunken mess and crying all over Tae-Jin's jacket. Tae-Jin had told him that he wasn't to be blamed for Han-Seol's death. That he had to stop blaming himself. That was the first step to his still-incomplete recovery.
The anonymous support group and the people he met there definitely also played a huge part. Though he'd initially been reluctant, listening to and consoling the victims there let Eun regain some sense of purpose. There were many, but one boy named Joon, who'd lost both his parents in the disaster, was probably most significant to Eun. Helping Joon through his trauma let Eun forget his own and the feeling of the boy's reliance on him reminded Eun of many things. Of Han-Seol, who would have hated to see him this way, of his sisters that were definitely worried to death, and of why he chose the line of work he did.
Five years later, Eun-Geom has now made what he likes to believe is a recovery. He left the police but stayed in the same field, just at the back-end, taking up an offer to join the NIS with a desk job. He still goes to that support group from time to time, though not as often as he used to, keeping contact with the other victims he'd connected to outside of the group instead. He hasn't tended too much to his own wounds, but they've become scars.
He still see all the ghosts of the people he failed, in his dreams or in vulnerable moments, just in the corner of his eyes. And then his scars would ache. But he prefers to ignore it.
- Hwang Jae-Ha (Deceased at 37) β Father
Eun-Geom lost his father when he was 14 years old and at the peak of teenage rebellion, before he could form a deep bond with the man. Yet, the loss of his father shaped much of his youth, pushing him to be take on the role of guardian in his father's stead.
Keiko Mitsui-Hwang (Deceased at 43) β Mother
His mother was the one calming presence in his life, someone who took the nightmares away. Having been busy throughout her last stay in the hospital is probably one of Eun's greatest regrets, and he misses her dearly, especially when life gets rough.
Hwang Min-Young (25) β Younger Sister
Along with the honor of being the first baby Eun has ever held, Minnie has also firmly grabbed the title of apple of his eye since she was 0 years old and has yet to let go. Though she's middle child, she enjoys acting like the youngest, aegyo and all.
Hwang Na-Young (24) β Younger Sister
Na-Young is usually as quiet as Minnie is loud, but she enjoys teasing the hell out of Eun possibly even more than her sister. Their combined forces often leave Eun rather indignant; like, jeez, he practically raised these kids & they've heartlessly turned on him.
Ma Han-Seol (Deceased at 27) β Best Friend | Colleague
Han-Seol had been Eun's best friend since middle school, a nerdy kid who had sneakily made him his bodyguard. Fate kept them together throughout their youth... but it was also fate that separated them, leaving Han-Seol in that inferno & Eun to mourn him.
Ma Tae-Jin (34) β Close Friend
Eun and Tae-Jin were always friends, but it was their shared loss that brought them as close as they are. Tae-Jin's insistence that his brother's death wasn't Eun's fault was the kick-starter for him to drag himself out of self-loathing and put himself back together.
Kim Joon (20) β Close Friend
Joon lost his parents in the attack and had been loitering around the support group meeting Eun had been dragged to. He was the first to approach the boy and they developed a friendship from there. Joon seems to adore Eun & he tries his best not to let that down.
Kwon Ah-Ri (30) β Ex-Girlfriend | Friend
Ah-Ri was someone he'd all but bought a ring for until the period of depression went through. It broke her heart that she couldn't fix him despite all her effort and he felt like a burden with all his issues. The guilt eventually led to a split, but they continued being friends.
Jeong Soo-Yun (??) β Effective Stranger
Quisque vitae ex posuere, consectetur ligula at, tempor nunc. Mauris ut nunc non orci rutrum bibendum sit amet ut turpis. Nullam aliquam fermentum urna, in laoreet velit. Suspendisse finibus mauris in diam tristique, nec tempus quam vulputate.
