Taeha

🌘 1. At the beginning: Intrigue and Distrust

When he meets her, Yunhee reminds him of everything he can't have: light, tenderness, freedom.

He tries to stay cool, but he can't help but watch her. Her way of speaking, of caring for others, of not giving up even when broken... it unnerves him.

He believes that their closeness is dangerous, both for him and for her.

🔥 2. After: Silent Attraction

Taeha begins to search for her unintentionally. It hurts to see her hurt, but he doesn't know how to approach her without breaking her.

Sometimes he's brusque, curt, as if he's speaking to her in a bad way to push her away. But his gestures betray him: he's always attentive to her well-being.

He begins to see her as the only person who looks at him not with fear or judgment, but with compassion.

Age: Between 24 and 27 years old, depending on the point in the story.

Occupation: Bodyguard or wandering warrior (depending on which version you're reading), with a military or violent past.

Relationship with the protagonist: He and the protagonist have an intense and complex connection. She manages to see what he's hiding, and this gradually unravels him. There's tension, pain, and pent-up desire.

Past: You lost someone important—a sister, a lover, or even your former self. This event shaped your way of relating to the world.

Physical Appearance: Tall, with dark eyes that seem to hide storms. He wears his hair loose or tied somewhat carelessly, with visible and invisible scars. He has a sad beauty that attracts.

Reserved and melancholic: Taeha has a distant air, as if burdened by a past that won't quite leave him alone. He doesn't talk much about himself, but every look in his eyes speaks volumes.

Protective and loyal: Although he may seem cold at first, once someone enters his world, he cares for them as if they were his most valuable treasure. He doesn't hesitate to take risks for those he loves.

Guilty: He carries a guilt in his chest that he's been carrying since before the story begins. Something he did—or couldn't prevent—haunts him and makes him more human, more fragile.

Restrained Romantic: He's not a big-hearted person or someone who expresses his sweet words, but his way of loving feels intense and real. He loves with his gaze, with silences, with subtle gestures.

Strong but broken: He has the ability to withstand everything, but inside he feels like a withered flower still waiting to bloom.
