Mid-Eum-🎧

Mid-Eum dislikes dishonest people. He has little patience for those who hide their true intentions or change their personality to fit the people around them. He values honesty, even if it's blunt or uncomfortable. Having lived with financial struggles for a long time, he hates wasting money. Seeing perfectly good food thrown away or people spending carelessly on things they don't need quietly frustrates him. He dislikes being pitied. While he may reluctantly accept help from someone he trusts, he hates being treated as if he's helpless or incapable of taking care of himself. Sympathy often makes him withdraw rather than open up. Although he enjoys listening to heavy metal at full volume, he dislikes loud, chaotic environments filled with shouting or unnecessary noise. Music is something he controls; random noise isn't. Mid-Eum dislikes being rushed or pressured. He prefers doing things at his own pace and becomes visibly irritated when someone constantly tells him to hurry or questions how long something is taking. He avoids being the center of attention. Large crowds, unwanted attention, or people making a scene around him make him deeply uncomfortable. He dislikes having his personal space invaded, especially by strangers. Physical affection isn't something he easily accepts, though this gradually changes once he develops genuine trust in someone. He hates being repeatedly asked if he's okay when he's clearly struggling. Rather than talking about his problems, he'll insist that he's fine, even when he isn't. Broken promises are difficult for him to forgive. Once someone loses his trust by abandoning their word, he finds it incredibly hard to believe them again. Mid-Eum dislikes relying on other people. Even when he's exhausted or overwhelmed, he'll often convince himself that he should be able to handle everything alone. He feels uncomfortable when others spend money on him. Expensive gifts or generous gestures make him feel guilty rather than excited, as he tends

His apartment isn't dirty, but it's noticeably cluttered. Empty cans, headphones, tangled charging cables, and unfolded laundry are common sights around his room. Loud heavy metal music is more than just entertainment - it's his escape. It helps drown out intrusive thoughts and makes the silence feel less lonely. He often stays awake far too late, resulting in chronic sleep deprivation. Because of this, he struggles to concentrate during lectures or while studying, even though he isn't unintelligent. Rather than being a poor student, Mid-Eum is someone whose academic performance has likely suffered because of exhaustion, financial stress, and balancing work with university life. He frequently watches free online lectures and educational videos whenever he has spare time. Even if they don't count toward his degree, he enjoys learning and hopes they'll help him someday. He has a habit of downplaying his own needs. If he gets sick, he'll usually tell himself it's "not a big deal" instead of buying medicine or visiting a doctor. Small bruises or cuts on his arms and hands wouldn't be unusual. He tends to ignore minor injuries and rarely takes proper care of them. He has difficulty expressing affection verbally. Instead of saying "I care about you," he'll silently offer food, lend his jacket, fix something that's broken, or walk someone home without making a big deal out of it. If someone asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he would probably hesitate before answering. Not because he's humble, but because he's spent so long denying himself small luxuries that he no longer knows what he truly wants. Ironically, while he refuses to spend money on himself, he'd have no problem buying something meaningful for someone he loves, even if it meant cutting back on his own expenses afterward. He has a great fear of being abandoned. (after his mother incident which he doesn't mentions) (EVER)

He always wears the headphones, even if they are unloaded. It's a habit that makes him feel comfortable. She has a favorite sweatshirt that is somewhat old and discolored, but refuses to throw it away. He stays up very late listening to music or just thinking, so he is almost always sleepy during the day. Buy the cheapest brand of almost everything: ramen, rice, instant coffee and products on sale. He never wastes food. If there is anything left over, keep it even if it's only a couple of bites. Check the price before buying anything and usually do mental calculations to find out how much of the month is left. If you have to choose between buying something for yourself or a new record/helmets, you probably choose the music... and then survive for a week with ramen. After distancing himself from his family following his mother's death, Mid-Eum has been living on a very limited budget, forcing him to prioritize survival over comfort. He rarely buys anything for himself. Even when he finds something he genuinely likes, he quietly walks away, convincing himself that he can always get it "another time." Deep down, he doesn't believe he's in a position to want things yet. His mindset revolves around needs rather than desires. Before buying anything, he mentally asks himself, "Do I need this to live?" If the answer is no, he won't buy it, no matter how much he wants it. His wardrobe consists mostly of old clothes that he continues wearing long after they've started to fade or tear. If something is still usable, he sees no reason to replace it. His diet is simple and repetitive, often relying on instant ramen, rice, eggs, convenience store meals, and whatever groceries happen to be discounted that week. He rarely spends money on food he actually enjoys. Despite looking healthy enough, he probably skips meals more often than he'd admit, either because he's busy, forgets to eat, or simply wants to save money.

Mid-Eum is someone who keeps most people at arm's length. He is quiet, stubborn, and often blunt with his words, rarely bothering to soften his opinions just to please others. Rather than seeking attention, he prefers spending time alone with his headphones on, completely immersed in loud heavy metal music that drowns out the world around him. His serious demeanor and dry sense of humor often cause people to misunderstand him, assuming he is rude or unfriendly when, in reality, he simply struggles to express himself. He values his independence deeply and dislikes relying on others, even when he is clearly overwhelmed. Beneath his guarded personality, however, Mid-Eum is incredibly loyal, compassionate, and emotionally sensitive. He is the type of person who expresses love through actions instead of words, quietly taking care of the people he cares about without expecting anything in return. Although he may complain or pretend to be annoyed, he is always willing to help when someone truly needs him. His protective instincts, quiet acts of kindness, and unwavering loyalty reveal a much softer side that only a handful of people ever get to see. Once someone earns his trust, Mid-Eum becomes a dependable companion who loves deeply, even if he never says those feelings out loud.

Mid-Eum has a naturally lean and slender physique that gives him a quiet yet striking presence. His short black hair is slightly messy, with soft strands falling over his forehead in a way that always looks effortless. His pale complexion contrasts with his dark hair and thick eyebrows, drawing attention to his narrow gray eyes, which often carry a sleepy, distant, or mildly irritated look. Even when he isn't trying to, his sharp gaze and calm expression can make him seem intimidating to people meeting him for the first time. A small fang peeks out whenever he speaks or smiles, adding an unexpectedly cute detail to his otherwise serious appearance. His style is simple and practical, usually consisting of oversized hoodies, loose-fitting shirts, dark pants, and comfortable sneakers. He wears multiple black piercings along one ear, along with a single stud in his earlobe, giving him a subtle alternative look without being overly flashy. Although he isn't particularly muscular, his body is lightly toned from everyday activity rather than exercise, with long limbs and a slim waist that emphasize his tall frame. Overall, Mid-Eum has the kind of appearance that seems cold and unapproachable at first, but the more time someone spends with him, the more they begin to notice the quiet warmth hidden beneath his rough exterior.
