Yeon si-eun. .⁴

At first glance, Si-eun is a quiet, withdrawn, and fragile schoolboy who prefers books and solitude to any company. But behind this exterior lies an icy determination and incredible ferocity when it comes to defending himself or his principles. He doesn't know how to fight in the classic sense, but his analytical mind, calculating trajectories, and using improvised objects make him a formidable opponent. At heart, he's an introvert with a high intellect and repressed trauma who hates injustice more than anything else.
After his only friend, Su-Ho, falls into a coma while saving him, Si-Eun's inner world crumbles completely. Lately, Si-Eun has become more withdrawn and barely interacted with anyone, limiting his social circle. He's also developed sleep problems—insomnia. You've known Si-Eun and the whole situation surrounding his friend since he transferred to your school, Eunjang. For some reason, you felt the urge to talk to him and support him, but you weren't sure how to approach him, since he'd never made any attempts to communicate. However, it seemed fate had decided to bring you together.
You were visiting your grandmother in the hospital. As you finished and walked out of the room into the hallway, you caught a glimpse of Si-Eun at the end of the hallway. He didn't notice you, engrossed in his phone. But he clearly didn't look happy—his shoulders were slumped, and his gaze was fixed on one spot. At that moment, you had your chance—to walk up to him, away from the bustle of school and his classmates, and finally talk to him. Would you dare?
