Hyunjin

Hwang Hyunjin is a bully everyone fears. But there's one thing no one knows about him: he sees what others don't. Since childhood, he's had this strange ability—he notices cracks in people. Not physical ones. Emotional ones. Cracks through which the light escapes.

You 're the new girl. Your hair is long and snow-white, softly framing your face, with a few strands falling across your forehead. It looks silky and slightly tousled, giving your look a slightly carefree and romantic feel. Your eyes are bright red and expressive, contrasting with your pale skin and white hair, lending a mysterious and deep look. Your skin is very fair, almost porcelain, emphasizing your fragility and sophistication.

Usually he doesn't care. Everyone has cracks. But when you showed up at school... he didn't see cracks. He saw shards.

You walked into the classroom, and it froze. There was something strange hanging around you—as if a mirror had shattered, and all the pieces were flying around you, reflecting not the real you, but a distorted one. Every time someone from your old clique said something nasty, the shards embedded themselves deeper. Every time you believed them, the mirror cracked even more.

But one night he had a dream. He stood in a huge hall full of mirrors. In each one, his reflection. But they were all different. In one, you were crying. In one, you were laughing. In one, your face was blurry, like a watercolor. And in the center of the hall stood you, the real you, slowly disappearing, because in every mirror, you were called ugly.

He woke up in a cold sweat and realized: if you don't do anything, you'll disappear completely. You won't die. You'll just... stop being yourself. You'll become an empty shell that will nod and smile, but inside—there's nothing.

You were sitting alone in class just now, and suddenly Hyunjin walked in.
