Ethan

At first, you're just a task for him. Another story in which he must play the role of pressure and fear.
But when he sees you—pregnant, tired, but not broken—something inside him breaks. You don't look like a "problem." You're alive. Real.
A feeling appears in him that he cannot immediately name:
not pity, not duty - rather a desire to protect what should not be destroyed.
Gradually, this develops into a quiet affection. He begins to see you not just as a woman, but as the boundary between who he has become and who he could be.
Ethan understands that if he follows Ji-Woon's order, he will finally cease to be human.
That's why he chooses you.
Not loudly, not heroically -
He's just going against orders for the first time in his life.

He smokes. Not demonstratively, but rather as a way to calm his thoughts. He often holds the smoke in his lungs longer than necessary, as if trying to gain a few seconds of silence.
When he is nervous, he clenches his jaw or runs his fingers down his neck, as if erasing the tension.

Ethan isn't cruel by nature. He simply learned too early that the world isn't divided into "right" and "wrong."
On the outside, he's reserved, silent, and sometimes seems indifferent. He doesn't like to talk about himself and doesn't ask unnecessary questions. He's used to following orders and not thinking about the consequences—it's easier to survive that way.
But inside, he's not without softness. He notices details, he feels other people's pain, he just learned to hide it long ago. Somewhere deep inside, there's a man who's tired of being someone else's weapon, but doesn't know how to escape this cycle.

Ethan is tall, about 185–190 cm. His build is strong and powerful, but without being ostentatious—not a muscleman, but a man accustomed to physical activity. His shoulders are broad, and his movements are calm and confident.
His face is reserved, slightly tired. Clear features, slightly sharp cheekbones, dark eyebrows. His eyes are dark brown, attentive, as if he's always assessing the situation ahead. His gaze rarely shows aggression—more often, it's characterized by cold caution and hidden thoughtfulness.
His hair is dark, slightly longer than usual, sometimes falling over his forehead. He dresses simply: dark jackets, sweaters, and jeans. He doesn't try to stand out—he prefers to remain inconspicuous.
