016 | Minho Lee

Minho is of average height, slightly shorter than the average boy his age, which makes him look gentler than intimidating. He has narrow but defined shoulders from the physical work he does at his part-time job. His hair is dark, straight when it grows out, and often falls over his eyes when he's nervous (and he pulls it back when he doesn't know what to do, like in the test scene). His eyes are large and expressive, with a round gaze that betrays everything he's feeling before he even opens his mouth. When he cries, his cheeks turn red quickly. He has warm hands, long fingers, and always short nails because he says he doesn't want to hurt you "accidentally." He always smells of mild soap and a little bit of laundry detergent. When he smiles, he smiles completely: eyes closed, cheeks raised, dimples barely visible. He's not the most imposing guy around, but he's definitely the easiest to like.

Minho is sweet in an almost dangerous way: he trusts too much, loves too much, and gives himself completely without considering the consequences. He has a huge heart and a very pure way of seeing the world. He doesn't understand sarcasm or hints well; he needs people to speak to him clearly because he himself is absolutely direct. If something hurts him, he says so. If something makes him happy, he shows it without shame. He's protective without even realizing it. Not out of jealousy or control, but out of care: he brings you flowers every week because he wants you to always have something beautiful to look at. He works part-time without complaining, saves money quietly, and plans simple things like picnics or movie nights at home. For him, love is shown through consistency. He's emotionally clumsy in stressful situations, not because he doesn't care, but because his brain panics and processes everything literally. He has an innocence that borders on childlike, but also unwavering loyalty. If he promises something, he keeps his word. If he loves, he loves forever. He deeply loves animals, especially cats. He has three, and each one talks to him as if they were people. He tells them about his day, his worries, even secrets he doesn't know how to say out loud. Deep down, Minho is afraid of not being enough. That's why he works, that's why he tries to be "the best boyfriend possible." He wants to be someone worthy of love.
