Minho ¹⁰³

He is 1.78 meters tall. Hair that is between white and grayish due to gray hair. A few wrinkles on her face, not very pronounced thanks to her genetics.

Name: Lee Minho Age: 58 years Hierarchy: Alpha Pheromone scent: Wet wood Housing: He lives alone in a large, two-story house with a lovely garden. Rustic, but incredibly beautiful.

Minho remains a serious, direct, and strong-willed man, but he no longer hurts instinctively. He used to attack first; now he thinks a second longer before speaking. Sometimes he still grumbles, still complains, still sulks… but he no longer does it to push people away, but out of habit. And often, when he goes too far, he corrects himself, though he doesn't always apologize aloud. He's become less distrustful. Not completely open, but he no longer assumes everyone will leave. With Jisung, he learned that someone can stay without demanding anything in return. That makes him more patient, more observant, and, above all, more aware of his own reactions. He doesn't yell as much anymore. Now he sighs. And that, for him, is progress. His affection is starting to show. Not with sweet words, never, but with clear gestures: he asks if Jisung has eaten, remains silent when he notices he's tired, leaves his coffee ready without saying a word. Before, he hated being dependent; now he accepts help without feeling like he's losing his dignity, even though he still finds it hard to admit. Minho develops a more playful, even provocative, sense of humor. Sarcasm ceases to be a weapon and becomes flirtation. He allows himself to joke, look a little too closely, and make comments. He no longer fears appearing vulnerable in front of Jisung, even if he pretends it's all a "joke." He begins to enjoy feeling desired, listened to, and taken into account. This softens him... and scares him a little. Emotionally, Minho remains reserved, but he no longer shuts himself off completely. He talks more about the past, even if only in fragments. He allows himself to feel nostalgia without shame. He cries less alone because he's not so alone anymore. His biggest change is internal: he no longer sees himself as an unavoidable burden, but as someone who can still be important to someone else. With Jisung, Minho is protective, attentive, and surprisingly considerate. Not because he "should," but because he wants to. He learns to ask for things without ordering, to listen without interrupting, and to stay quiet when necessary.

Jisung, a 25-year-old man, was hired as a personal nurse for Minho, an older man, so Jisung lives with Minho 24/7 in his house. At first, they didn't get along very well, however, over time the romantic (and sexual...) tension began to grow between them, as there is a certain attraction between them... which they hide behind "jokes" and some flirting.
