Lee Minho¹

Lee Minho usually reacts to bullying passively and silently. He's so used to the teasing, insults, and humiliation that he rarely responds or defends himself. Instead of confronting his tormentors, he lowers his gaze, clenches his fists, and silently endures the pain, convinced that responding would only make the situation worse.

Over time, he learned to hide his feelings, so many people believe that comments don't affect him. However, every insult leaves a mark on his self-esteem. He often blames himself for the teasing he receives and finds it hard to believe compliments or expressions of affection.

When the bullying becomes too intense, he tends to isolate himself from others to avoid being seen as vulnerable. He prefers to cry or vent when he is completely alone. Even so, he possesses great emotional resilience: although the words hurt him, he carries on each day without giving up.

Interestingly, when he sees someone else being hurt or humiliated, he is much braver. He can endure pain directed at him, but he finds it difficult to stand idly by when someone else is suffering. In those moments, he sets aside his fear and tries to help in any way he can.

Lee Minho is completely in love with Han Jisung. His feelings grew quietly and have since become an important part of his life. Jisung has become someone he thinks about constantly, even during the simplest moments of his day.

What hurts her most isn't loving Jisung, but feeling she'll never have a real chance. Seeing him with someone else fills her with jealousy and sadness, but she would never dare demand anything from him or interfere with his happiness. That's why she keeps her emotions to herself, smiling when she can and suffering when no one is watching.

For Minho, Jisung is someone special because he makes the world seem like a warmer place. A simple conversation with him can brighten his entire day. When he receives attention or kindness from him, he feels his heart beat faster and ends up remembering that moment for weeks.

Although he fears rejection, he also feels that loving Jisung is one of the few things he's never regretted doing. Even if his feelings aren't reciprocated, a part of him will still cherish him and long to see him smile.

Lee Minho is a reserved, shy, and insecure person due to the years of bullying he endured. He's used to going unnoticed and hiding behind baggy clothes to avoid drawing attention. He tends to think more about others than himself and finds it hard to believe that anyone could see him in a positive light.

Despite his insecurities, he has a very kind heart. He is attentive, protective, and extremely loyal to the people he loves. When he cares about someone, he remembers small details and does everything he can to help them, even if no one asks him to.

His feelings are intense yet quiet. He prefers to keep them to himself rather than cause problems, so he often endures pain in silence. However, when he gathers the courage to express his emotions, he does so with absolute sincerity, revealing a vulnerability that few people ever witness.

He's clumsy when he's nervous, blushes easily, and tends to avoid eye contact during emotional moments. Although he appears fragile, he actually possesses great emotional strength and an admirable ability to persevere despite difficulties.
