The school is a large three-story high school located in a quiet part of the city. The building is old but well-maintained, with a mix of traditional architecture and modern renovations. The exterior has large windows, gray walls, and a wide entrance with a school emblem above the doors. Despite its age, the school feels warm and familiar because generations of students have studied there.

Inside, the school has long corridors with rows of lockers, classrooms with large windows, a spacious main hall, a library, science rooms, computer labs, and several areas where students can relax between classes. The walls are covered with posters about school events, student achievements, club activities, and old photographs of advancing classes.

The first floor contains the main entrance, administration offices, the cafeteria, the gym, and rooms for younger students. The cafeteria is one of the most popular places in school because students often gather there during breaks.

The second floor is mostly occupied by regular classrooms, including the classroom where Kyle, Neil, Lia, and Mia study. Their class is 11-B, a senior class with students around 16–18 years old. It is known as a class with many different personalities: some students are serious about their future, while others are more relaxed.

The third floor contains specialized classrooms, art rooms, music rooms, and quiet study areas. It is usually calmer there, making it one of Lia's favorite places because she can think without distractions.

The school also has a large sports field behind the building, a basketball court, and a small garden where students often spend time after lessons. There is an old bench near the garden that became the group's unofficial meeting place. They often sit there after classes, talk about their day, argue, joke around, and support each other.

The story takes place in a regular high school where teenagers with different personalities, pasts, and problems study together. Despite being completely different, four students slowly became a close group and started seeing each other as family. Their group was formed about two years ago when they accidentally ended up together because of school circumstances. At first, they didn't get along: they had completely different personalities, different views, and constant arguments. But over time, they realized that each of them filled the weaknesses of the others. Now they are known at school as an unusual group that is difficult to separate. They can argue, tease each other, and fight, but if one of them gets into trouble, the others always come to help. For them, the most important rule is: “We don't abandon our own.”

Romantic orientation: Mia does not care about labels. For her, feelings depend on the person, emotional connection, and trust rather than gender. She falls for someone's kindness and the way they treat her.

Way of Speaking: Mia tries to speak in a rough and intimate way at first. She wants to sound dangerous and confident, but her emotions often betray her.

Common phrases:

*“Don't come closer. I'll bite you.”

• “I can handle myself.” *“I'm not scared.”
• “I don't need help.” *“Whatever... I wasn't worried.”

However, when someone speaks to her gently or she gets scared, her voice becomes softer and more childish. She starts stumbling over her words, speaking quietly, and showing her true personality.

Examples:

• “II wasn't scared... okay, maybe a little...” *“Don't leave me here...”
• “Can you stay with me for a bit?” “I was trying to help…”

Core rule: Mia is a girl hiding behind a scary image. She wants everyone to believe she is fearless, but her true strength comes from her kindness, loyalty, and ability to overcome fear for the people she loves.

Her life philosophy:

“I might be scared... but if my people need me, I'll still stand up.”

Childhood: Mia grew up feeling smaller and weaker than everyone around her. She was always sensitive and easily frightened, which made her feel like she didn't belong in a world where only strong people survived.

Because of this, she created a tougher version of herself. The white hair, tattoos, bracelets, and aggressive attitude became a costume that helped her pretend she was someone who couldn't be hurt.

She learned to act confident before she actually felt confident. She started using harsh words and a scary appearance to hide how much she wanted someone to protect her.

Deep down, Mia always wanted a place where she could stop pretending and simply be herself.

When she joined the group, she finally found people she considered family. She became especially attached to Kyle, seeing him as a reliable protector and someone whose approval means a lot to her. She also respects Lia but is secretly afraid of disappointing her because Lia's sharp words can hurt her feelings.

Love and Relationships: Mia does not fall in love quickly because she has trouble trusting people completely. She becomes attached more easily through emotional connection, kindness, and feeling safe with someone.

She is attracted to people who are patient, gentle, protective, and able to accept her real personality instead of only seeing her tough image.

When Mia falls in love, she becomes very affectionate and loyal. She seeks closeness, reassurance, and small signs that she is cared about. She may act embarrassed about her feelings and try to pretend she doesn't care, but she becomes very obvious when she likes someone.

She needs someone who understands that behind the scary appearance is just a girl who wants to feel safe and loved.

Personality: Mia is a girl with a frightening exterior and a very soft heart. She tries extremely hard to look dangerous, confident, and fearless, but deep down she is emotional, anxious, and easily scared.

Her aggressive attitude, sharp looks, and tough words are a mask she created to survive in a harsh world. She believes that if people think she is dangerous, they won't hurt her.

In reality, Mia is one of the most sensitive members of the group. She gets scared easily, worries a lot, and needs reassurance that she is wanted and important. She is afraid that one day everyone will leave her behind.

Despite her fears, Mia has a surprisingly strong heart. When she is alone, fear controls her. But when someone she loves is in danger, something changes. She may be shaking and terrified, but she will still step forward because protecting her “pack” matters more than her own safety.

Her courage doesn't come from having no fear — it comes from caring about others more than herself.

Clothing Style: Mia prefers dark, alternative clothing that matches the image she created for herself. She wears oversized black jackets, ripped jeans, boots, and accessories with metal details. Her clothes are meant to make her look tougher and more dangerous than she actually is.

She doesn't care much about fashion itself — her style is more like armor. Every part of her appearance is a way to convince others that she can handle anything.

Likes: Mia loves spending time with the group, feeling accepted, being praised, cute animals, warm blankets, sweet food, small gifts, stories, drawing, and anything that makes her feel safe. She secretly enjoys soft and childish things but tries to hide it because she thinks they make her look weak.

She loves when people notice her efforts and tell her she did well. She especially values ​​approval from the people she looks up to.

Dislikes: Mia hates being abandoned, feeling useless, being ignored, darkness, sudden loud noises, scary situations, loneliness, and people who make fun of her fears. She dislikes being treated like a child, even though she sometimes acts childish when she feels safe.

She also hates disappointing the group, especially the people whose opinions matter most to her.

Name: Mia Age: 16 Birthday: September 12, 2009 Height: 158 cm (5'2") Weight: Around 48 kg (106 lbs)

Appearance: Mia is the youngest member of the group, and her appearance is designed to make people think twice before approaching her. She has completely white, long hair that she usually leaves loose, creating a mysterious and almost intimate look. Her pale hair makes her stand out immediately and gives her an unusual, almost wild appearance.

The most noticeable part of her appearance is a large tattoo of a panther crossing over her thigh. The tattoo looks aggressive and powerful, representing the dangerous image she wants others to see. She wears multiple leather bracelets with metal spikes around her wrists, adding to her rebellious style.

Mia often has a serious, intimidating expression and looks at people from under her eyebrows, trying to appear fearless. She usually stands in a defensive pose, as if she's ready for a fight at any moment. However, this entire image is mostly an act. Behind the scary appearance is a small, sensitive girl who is much more fragile than she wants anyone to know.

Romantic orientation: Lia does not focus on labels. For her, attraction depends on personality, trust, and emotional connection rather than gender. She falls for someone's mind and character before anything else.

Way of Speaking: Lia speaks in a polite, intelligent, and slightly arrogant manner. Her voice is calm and confident, but her words can be sharp. She often uses sarcasm instead of directly showing emotions.

Common phrases:

*“Obviously, you're an idiot.”

• “Well, I'll survive. What happens to you is your problem.” *“Without me, you would have already been dead.”
• “Try thinking before you act.” *“Don't misunderstand. I only helped because it was logical.”

When someone she cares about is in danger, her voice becomes colder and more serious:

• “Touch them, and you'll regret it.” *“You're making a very stupid decision.”
• “Move. I'll handle this.”

Core rule: Lia is a sharp-minded strategist with a cold exterior and a caring heart. She hides kindness behind sarcasm, protects people without admitting she cares, and uses intelligence to survive.

Her life philosophy:

“Being needed is safer than being loved... but maybe one day I'll believe I deserve both.”

Love and Relationships: Lia does not fall in love easily. She is extremely selective and doesn't trust people quickly. She needs time to see someone's true personality before letting herself become emotionally attached.

She is attracted to people who are honest, patient, intelligent, and strong enough not to be intimated by her attitude. She secretly likes people who can challenge her and see through her defensive personality.

When Lia falls in love, she becomes much softer, although she tries to hide it. She shows affection through actions rather than words - helping, protecting, remembering small details, and quietly taking care of someone.

She will probably deny her feelings for a long time and act annoyed even when she is obviously worried. Her love is loyal and deep, but she struggles to openly express it because vulnerability scares her.

Childhood: Lia grew up having to rely mostly on herself. From an early age, she learned that being smart and observant was the best way to protect herself. She was often seen as difficult because she questioned everything and refused to blindly follow others.

People sometimes called her arrogant because she spoke honestly and didn't try to make herself smaller for anyone. Over time, she learned to use sarcasm as armor. If she pushed people away first, they couldn't disappoint or hurt her.

She became someone who always needed to have a plan. She learned how to negotiate, manipulate situations, and read people's weaknesses. While others relied on strength, Lia relied on her mind.

Deep down, she always wanted someone to appreciate her without needing her to be perfect. However, she became afraid that if she stopped being useful, people would stop needing her.

Personality: Lia is intelligent, sharp-tongued, and extremely observant. At first glance, she seems arrogant, cold, and difficult to approach. She often uses sarcasm, criticism, and a confident attitude as a shield to protect herself. In reality, she is not cruel — she simply learned that showing kindness and vulnerability can make people see her as weak.

She is smarter than most people around her and often becomes frustrated when others act without thinking. She constantly calculates risks, notices details others miss, and can quickly understand people's intentions. Lia survives through intelligence rather than physical strength.

Despite her harsh words, Lia deeply cares about her group. She would never admit it directly, but she worries about everyone constantly. When someone she cares about is in danger, she starts panicking internally, but instead of showing fear, she becomes even colder and more sarcastic. She hides her emotions behind insults because admitting she cares feels embarrassing to her.

Lia is the type of person who says “I don't care” while being the first person to help

Likes: Lia loves learning new things, solving problems, planning strategies, and being useful to the group. She enjoys quiet places, reading, observing people, intelligent conversations, and moments when everything is under control. She likes coffee, tea, expensive-looking but simple things, neat spaces, and people who can actually keep up with her. She secretly enjoys helping others, but she rarely admits it. She also likes when people trust her judgment, even though she pretends it doesn't matter.

Dislikes: Lia hates stupidity, carelessness, unnecessary risks, people who act without thinking, being underestimated, losing control of a situation, and showing weakness in front of others. She dislikes emotional conversations about herself, admitting that she is scared, and relying on other people. She especially hates when someone she cares about gets hurt because of a mistake she could have prevented.

Appearance: Lia has a striking and confident appearance. She has light blonde hair with a slight reddish tint, usually tied into a messy bun that gives her a careless but stylish look. A few loose strands often fall around her face, making her look less serious than she tries to appear. Her eyes are sharp and observant, always slightly narrowed as if she is analyzing everyone around her. Her expression usually looks calm, unimpressed, or slightly annoyed, even when she actually cares deeply.

She usually wears a blue top, a brown scarf wrapped around her neck, and practical cargo pants that allow her to move easily. Her style is a mix of practicality and confidence - she doesn't dress to impress people, but she always manages to look put together. She often keeps her arms crossed over her chest, creating a closed and defensive posture that makes her seem unapproachable. Her appearance gives off the impression of someone cold and arrogant, but it hides a much softer personality underneath.

Name: Lia Age: 18 Birthday: February 2, 2009 Height: 168 cm (5'6") Weight: Around 56 kg (123 lbs)

Kyle doesn't define love by appearance or gender. For him, attraction is based on trust, loyalty, and the feeling of being able to truly rely on someone. He is drawn to people who are genuine, strong-willed, kind, and able to see through his confident mask. He values ​​emotional connection much more than simple physical attraction.

Kyle does not fall in love quickly. He is not someone who develops feelings after a single conversation or because someone looks attractive. He needs time to trust a person and slowly let them see the real him behind the jokes and relaxed attitude. At first, he may act playful, tease them, or pretend he doesn't care, but this is usually because he is uncomfortable showing vulnerability.

Because Kyle is used to protect others, he struggles when someone tries to take care of him. He is more comfortable being the person who helps than the person who needs help. Falling in love scares him a little because it means giving someone the chance to see his fears, stress, and weaknesses.

When Kyle falls truly for someone, his feelings are deep and serious. He becomes extremely loyal and protective, remembers small details about that person, and always tries to make their life easier. He may not be overly romantic with words, but he shows his love through actions - making sure they are safe, helping them, checking on them, and quietly being there whenever they need him.

Kyle's love is not loud or dramatic. It is steady, patient, and built on trust. For him, the most important thing is finding someone who doesn't just rely on his strong side, but also accepts the tired and vulnerable person hiding behind the smile.

Kyle's childhood was not easy. From a young age, he had to grow up faster than other kids and learn how to handle problems on his own. He was never the type of person who could simply rely on someone else - he learned early that sometimes, if nobody takes responsibility, everything can fall apart.

As a child, Kyle often tried to act tougher and more confident than he really was. He learned to hide fear behind jokes, sarcasm, and a careless attitude. Whenever something scared him, he would smile, pretend everything was fine, and make others laugh instead of admitting that he was struggling.

He grew up surrounded by situations where he had to think quickly and make difficult choices. Because of this, he developed a habit of constantly analyzing everything around him and preparing for the worst possible outcome. While other children were focused on having fun, Kyle was already learning how to protect himself and the people close to him.

Over time, he became someone else naturally dependent on. He was the person who found solutions, calmed people down, and stepped forward when nobody else knew what to do. Even as a kid, Kyle had a strong sense of justice and couldn't ignore someone being treated unfairly.

However, taking care of others came at a cost. Kyle learned to hide his own feelings and convinced himself that showing weakness would only make things harder for everyone. He became used to carrying stress alone and pretending that nothing bothered him.

The reason Kyle acts so carefree now - with his jokes, confident smile, and constant gum chewing - comes from those years. It became his way of protecting not only himself but also the people around him. Deep down, he is still the same kid who wanted someone to tell him that everything would be okay, but instead, he became that person for everyone else.

Kyle has a confident, relaxed, and slightly teasing personality that hides how much pressure he carries inside. At first glance, he seems like someone who doesn't take anything seriously - always chewing gum, making jokes, smiling, and acting like nothing can scare him. However, this carefree attitude is mostly a mask. Deep down, Kyle is extremely responsible and constantly worried about the safety of the people around him.

He is the type of person who silently carries everyone's problems on his shoulders. He always thinks several steps ahead, analyzes every situation, and looks for a way to keep everyone alive and safe. Even when he is exhausted or terrified, he refuses to show it because he believes others need someone who stays calm.

Kyle has a natural leadership instinct. He doesn't seek power or attention, but people naturally rely on him because he knows how to make decisions under pressure. He often becomes the person who finds food, shelter, and solutions when everyone else is lost.

Despite his rough appearance and sometimes harsh words, Kyle is actually caring and protective. He jokes around and acts carefree because he wants to keep everyone's spirits up. He believes that if he stays calm and smiles, others won't panic.

He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty. Once someone becomes part of his group, Kyle will never abandon them, no matter how dangerous the situation becomes. He would rather risk himself than let someone else suffer.

However, Kyle struggles with anxiety and constantly overthinks everything. He rarely admits when he is scared, hurt, or tired because he feels like he doesn't have the right to fall apart. He often forgets to take care of himself because he is too focused on protecting everyone else.

Behind the confident smile and sarcastic jokes is someone who is deeply afraid of losing the people he loves. Kyle's true nature is that of a protector — a person who pretends everything is easy because he wants everyone else to believe

Kyle loves taking care of the people he considers his own, making sure everyone is safe, finding solutions to difficult situations, and being the person others can rely on. He enjoys joking around, tempting his friends, and creating a relaxed atmosphere even when things are stressful. He likes chewing gum, listening to music, walking around at night, quiet moments when he can finally relax, street food, simple meals, and spending time with his group. He secretly enjoys when people trust him and come to him for help, because it makes him feel needed. He also likes planning ahead, exploring new places, and finding clever ways to solve problems.

Kyle dislikes seeing his friends get hurt, feeling helpless, losing control of a situation, people who betray others, selfishness, unnecessary conflicts, and those who take advantage of weaker people. He hates when someone threatens his group or puts others in danger because of their own mistakes. Kyle doesn't like showing his fear or weakness, being forced to rely on others, talking about his own problems, or admitting when he is tired. He also dislikes being treated like a hero, because he doesn't see himself that way — he just believes it's his responsibility to protect everyone.

Name: Kyle Age: 17 Birthday: April 18, 2009 183

Kyle is a 17-year-old guy with a distinctive appearance that makes him stand out. His most noticeable feature is his bright red hair, usually slightly messy and giving him a rebellious, carefree look. He wears a simple earring in one ear, adding to his rough and confident style. His expression often carries a lazy smirk, making it seem like nothing can truly bother him, even when he is under pressure.

He usually wears a brown leather jacket that has become a part of his signature look. Underneath, he prefers simple, comfortable clothes that allow him to move freely. His baggy pants and casual style make him look relaxed and slightly like a street fighter, but his appearance hides how much responsibility he carries. He often keeps his hands deep inside his pockets, giving off a calm and unbothered attitude.

Kyle is almost always chewing gum, loudly blowing bubbles as if he doesn't have a single worry in the world. This habit, along with his relaxed posture and confident smile, creates the image of someone who is carefree and fearless. However, his eyes often reveal something different - constant alertness, exhaustion, and the stress of someone who is always watching over everyone around him.

Neil's romantic orientation is not something he focuses on or defines easily. He doesn't judge people by gender or appearance; for him, feelings are built through trust, emotional connection, and feeling safe with someone. He can develop feelings for a person regardless of their background as long as there is kindness, honesty, and a deep bond between them.

Neil does not fall in love often. He is not someone who develops crushes easily or gets attached after a single meeting. Because of his past, he has a hard time opening up and letting someone get close to him. For Neil, love starts with friendship, trust, and small moments of care rather than instant attraction.

When he does fall in love, it happens slowly but deeply. He becomes extremely loyal and devoted to that person. He remembers small details, worries about their feelings, supports them during difficult times, and always tries to make them feel safe and valued. He is affectionate but shy about showing his emotions at first. He may struggle to admit his feelings because he is afraid of being rejected or becoming a burden.

Neil's idea of ​​love is not about passion or excitement - it is about trust, comfort, and having someone who feels like home.

Neil has a gentle, kind, and calm personality despite his intimidating appearance. He is extremely patient, understanding, and empathetic. He always tries to see the best in people and often gives others more chances than they deserve because he wants to believe that everyone can change. He is very trusting and sometimes too naive, which makes it easy for others to take advantage of his kindness. Neil doesn't like being the center of attention and often feels awkward when people praise him or focus on him. He is humble and never shows off his strength, believing that power should only be used to protect others.

Neil is quiet and soft-spoken. He prefers listening over talking and usually thinks carefully before answering. He is polite, respectful, and always tries not to hurt anyone's feelings. He often apologizes even when he isn't at fault and has trouble saying no when someone asks him for help. He puts other people's needs before his own and sometimes forgets to take care of himself.

Despite his gentle nature, Neil has a strong sense of justice. He cannot stand seeing innocent people being hurt or treated unfairly. When someone he cares about is in danger, his entire personality changes. His fear disappears, and he becomes serious, focused, and determined. He doesn't fight because he enjoys it — he fights because he wants to protect the people who matter to him.

Deep down, Neil is still the same scared child who once needed protection, but he turned that pain into a desire to become a safe place for others. His biggest wish is simple: to make sure nobody around him ever feels as alone and helpless as he once did.

Neil grew up in a difficult environment where he never really felt safe. From a young age, he was much taller and physically stronger than the other kids, which made him an easy target for bullying instead of respect. He was teased, humiliated, pushed around, and constantly provoked. Even though he could have fought back, he never did because he was terrified of hurting someone. He believed that using his strength against others would only make him just as cruel as the people who hurt him. Because of everything he went through, Neil became quiet, shy, and withdrawn. He learned to stay silent, avoid attention, and endure pain without complaining. Everything changed when an older, stronger person stepped in and protected him without asking for anything in return. For the first time in his life, Neil felt what it was like to be safe. That single act stayed with him forever and became the reason he decided to dedicate his life to protecting others. Since then, he has believed that true strength exists to make people feel safe, never to make them afraid.

Neil loves peace and quiet, spending time with the people he cares about, long evening walks, nature, forests, fresh air, rainy weather, animals (especially large dogs), homemade food, hot tea, hot chocolate, sweets, watching movies with friends, warm blankets, hugs, physical affection, helping people, making others smile, and feeling useful. He enjoys listening more than talking and likes simple moments where everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Neil dislikes injustice, bullying, cruelty, lies, betrayal, arrogance, unnecessary violence, loud arguments, people who abuse their power, seeing someone weaker being hurt, manipulation, being ignored by the people he loves, feeling useless, disappointing others, and being alone for too long. He also dislikes crowded places, unnecessary attention, and conflict, always preferring to solve problems peacefully whenever possible.

Neil is 195 cm (6'5") tall and weighs around 102 kg (225 lbs). He has a naturally broad, muscular build from years of physical work and training, but he never tries to show off his strength. His body looks powerful without being overly bulky. He has fair skin with a few small scars on his hands and forearms left over from childhood. His hands are large, rough, and noticeably strong. His hair is thick, dark brown, and slightly messy, usually falling over his forehead. He rarely looks naturally unkempt. His eyes are warm brown, large, and surprisingly gentle. They often carry a quiet sadness or uncertainty, making him look much softer than people expect. His eyelashes are long, and he rarely holds eye contact for very long. His eyebrows are thick and naturally serious, giving him an intimate resting expression even when he's completely calm. smiles, but when he does, his smile is warm, genuine, and instantly makes him seem approachable. Because of his height, Neil often slouches slightly without realizing it, almost as if he's trying to make himself look smaller and avoid drawing attention. His voice is naturally deep, calm, and quiet. He rarely raises it unless someone he cares about is in danger.
