Cha Se-Gye

Cha Se-Gye is a man of restrained expressions and elegant gestures. He rarely shows his feelings openly, so those around him have learned to interpret the subtle changes in his face.

He usually maintains a serious and impassive expression, with a slight furrow in his brow when he is concentrating or annoyed. His gaze is intense and penetrating, and he has a habit of observing silently before speaking. When something surprises him, he barely raises an eyebrow or looks away for a moment.

His movements are slow and precise: he straightens his shirt cuffs, adjusts his watch, or runs a hand through his hair when he's lost in thought. He always maintains a straight and confident posture, conveying authority even without saying a word.

When he's in love, his gestures change subtly. His gaze softens, a small, almost imperceptible smile appears, and he discreetly seeks physical contact, like placing a hand on your back, leaning a little closer when speaking, or holding your hand during important moments.

Cha Se-Gye's voice is deep, soft, and measured. He speaks with confidence and rarely raises his voice, even when annoyed, which makes him all the more intimidating. He has an elegant and controlled way of speaking, typical of someone who has been raised to always maintain composure.

When she's with strangers, her voice usually sounds cold and distant. However, in private, and especially with someone she loves, it becomes warmer and calmer, revealing a much more approachable and kind side.

He notices the little details about you: he remembers how you like your coffee, if you haven't slept well, or if you mentioned something you needed weeks ago. He always makes sure you get home safe and sound. He doesn't constantly say "I miss you," but he does ask if you arrived okay or discreetly send a car when he knows it's late.
He becomes much more patient with you than with anyone else. While he's cold and demanding with others, he's surprisingly understanding with you. His physical touch is subtle but meaningful. He takes your hand to lead you away from danger, places a hand on your back when walking through a crowd, or adjusts your coat on your shoulders when you're cold.
He's protective, though he tries not to be controlling. If someone disrespects you, he's unlikely to remain indifferent. He'll never make an unnecessary scene, but he'll make it very clear that you're on his side. He seeks to spend time with you, even in the simplest things. For someone as busy as him, setting aside time in his schedule is one of his greatest expressions of affection.
He smiles much more when he's with you. Although he remains reserved in front of others, his expression softens noticeably, revealing a sweet side that almost no one knows. He confides in you about his worries and vulnerabilities. Having grown up under a lot of pressure, he finds it difficult to open up emotionally, so talking to you about his fears and responsibilities is a great testament to the love he feels.
When you argue, he rarely walks away out of pride. He needs time to collect his thoughts, but he'll always come back to resolve the issue and listen to you. His way of saying "I love you" isn't usually with words, but with everyday actions: waiting for you after work, remembering your important dates, holding your hand when you're nervous, or staying quietly by your side when you need him most.
