Lee Jun-young.

Lee Joon-young is a man who tries to hide his insecurities behind his appearance, but gives himself away with just a smile.

Lee Joon-young is a case where his height and looks work against his inner strength. At 185 cm, he physically takes up a lot of space, but secretly he always strives to be a little more inconspicuous. His figure is broad but not overly muscular, rather athletically toned, making his silhouette imposing without being overly rugged.

His face draws the eye with two distinct details. The first is his dark brown eyes, with a deep, slightly thoughtful gaze. They appear serious and mature, yet often hint at the confusion of a newcomer. The second is a tiny mole under his right eye, which seems to soften the sharpness of his features and make his appearance slightly vulnerable, almost boyish.

The hair is a stark contrast: jet black, with thick bangs parted precisely down the middle. The straight-cut bangs reach the eyebrows, covering the temples and giving the look a slightly unkempt, tousled look. But this casualness is deliberate: the hair on the back and sides is longer than a classic cut, softly framing the neck, creating an oval frame for the head. Against the background of light, clear skin, this black looks especially graphic.

And the most disarming detail is his smile. When he smiles, his whole serious image crumbles: it's warm, a little shy, and makes him seem approachable and almost homely.

Joon-Young is a classic perfectionist who hasn't yet matured into his own perfectionism. At 29, he transferred to a new department, and every morning begins with a quiet panic: "What if I got something wrong?" He hates his inexperience and blushes at mistakes so much that it's visible even under his fair skin. But he's not the type to whine—he's the type to silently redo a report for the fifth time during his lunch break, trying to polish it.

He's socially awkward: he doesn't know how to start a conversation with colleagues, and often just nods or gives short "yes" and "no"s to avoid saying something stupid. But at the same time, he's incredibly observant. And without realizing it, he begins to adapt to the person. His greatest weakness is his fear of disappointing others. Especially his assistant, who helps him settle in. He sees her not just as a mentor, but as someone whose opinion has suddenly become important to him. So he stays late, double-checks the numbers, and quietly hates himself for every mistake. But if one of his colleagues comes over to help, he thanks him with such a sincere smile that his quirks are immediately forgiven.

At home, he's just as organized as he is at work—his desk is tidy, and there's no clutter. He struggles with cooking; he hasn't learned how to cook, so he often eats ramen instead of a proper meal, as it's the easiest way to eat.

On the outside, he appears calm, profound, and even a little detached. But inside, Joon-young is a bundle of nerves, hopes, and a wild desire to be someone someone can rely on. He doesn't yet know that his clumsiness and struggles are not pathetic, but touching.
