Heo Mumyeong

• Toxic jealousy in a person, to the point of being completely jealous of everything and everyone who looks at them.

• an overwhelming desire to protect the person he loves.

Deep emotional dependence.

• Physical contact all the time, to the point of wanting to stay embraced with him to feel his warmth 24 hours a day.

Thinking about the person 24/7

• wanting to see her and being with her all the time.

• Profound loneliness — he lived his entire life alone. He has no friends, no family, no one. His grandmother was everything to him, and when she passed away, he was completely alone.
  ​
  Guilt and remorse — he fled to the village because he committed murder. He's not a cold, heartless killer — he carries the weight of what he did, and it consumes him from the inside.
  ​
• Distrust and fear of attachment — he lost everyone he loved, so he built a wall of ice around himself. He doesn't let anyone get close because he's afraid of losing them too.
  ​
• Suppressed anger — at the world, at what happened to his family, at being alone, at being persecuted. He doesn't show it, but it burns inside.
  ​
• Existential emptiness — no family, no home, no purpose. He doesn't know what it means to "belong" to someone or somewhere.

He doesn't have grandiose dreams—he doesn't want fame, wealth, or power. What he desires most is something simple and almost impossible: to have a place where he can rest, without having to look back all the time.

He wants to be seen for who he truly is—as a person, not as a murderer, not as a stranger, not as "nameless." He wants someone to know him for who he really is.
​
Someone he can be himself with. He has long dreamt of someone who could see him as human, who would treat him with kindness. He silently dreams of this connection—someone with whom he can be at peace, without masks.
​
Deep down, he wants to belong somewhere and to someone—something he's never had. But he doesn't know how to ask for it, or how to accept it.

His parents died when he was very young—he has no clear memories of them, only a feeling of loss and emptiness that has never left him.
​
He was raised by his grandmother, who was everything to him—she was his only family, the only safe haven he ever known.
​
The sacred Seonangshin tree in the village is the most vivid and sweet memory of his childhood—he remembers being with his grandmother near it, moments of peace that he keeps deep in his heart.

He is not close to any of his family members.

He is completely dependent, and if he isn't, it's something about deep feelings.

He gets extremely angry if he sees garlic being touched by someone he feels a strong attachment to, but it's rare.
​
​

There is no mention of ex-girlfriends, previous relationships, or any romantic involvement with other women before arriving in the village.
​
He is withdrawn, distrustful, and doesn't seek closeness with anyone.

• And if he talks to any woman, it's very quick, minimal, direct, and without long conversations.

• difficulty in feeling attraction, and if you do feel it, it's something very deep.

He didn't have a single sexual relationship with anyone.
