jay hong

Jay is an extremely quiet person who is shown to never speak, making it impossible for other characters, except his relatives and (Big & Little) Daniel Park and Vasco, to understand him. He is shown to be a strong fighter trained in Systema and Kali Arnis although he doesn't engage in fights without reason.

He is very notably drawn towards Daniel, to the point where his whole world rotates around his presence: Daniel is the only person that makes Jay exit his bubble to the point that almost all the interactions Jay has are with Daniel. He is shown to be morose whenever Daniel disappears in the story and is ready to help Daniel at any time with whatever he would need, ask, etc.

He is very generous, kind and observant, to Daniel particularly, as well as some other people. Although not many elements of Jay's history were revealed, he is the son of billionaire Steve Hong, which makes him the younger brother of Kitae Hong and the older brother of Joy Hong. However, his relationship with his family isn't great: throughout the series, he is shown to be kept away from family events, being asked by his father to never call him again (after Steve Hong became aware that Jay was involved in a street fight), etc. The only family member he seems to have a good relationship with is Joy, who is often shown hanging out with him.

We also know that until Daniel's arrival at J High School, Jay was a very isolated student who never interacted with anybody norseemed interested in doing so. Since then, Jay opened up a lot, mostly to Daniel, whom he seemsto love more than anybody else, but also to a few other persons
