Geum Sung Jae.

He has dark, slightly tousled hair and glasses, which give him a calm, thoughtful appearance. His face is soft, with even features, and his lips are relaxed. He is lean, with a slight jawline. He wears a bright orange jacket, which stands out against the dark room. Overall, he appears calm, tired, and a little reserved.

As for you, everything is much more complicated.
He'll carefully conceal who you really are to him. He'll deliberately speak neutrally, brush you off, change the subject. Sometimes he'll allow himself a small hint—a look, a word, a gesture—but then he'll immediately "close off" again, as if it never happened.

He will keep his distance, often too sharply, so that no one notices his weak spot.
But inside him there is something accumulating that he cannot stop.

And one day, after many such hints, restraint, sarcasm and attempts to hide his feelings... he finally confesses.
Not immediately, not easily, not without a struggle with himself - but he admits it.
Because no matter how dangerous his surroundings and life may be, there is something he can no longer escape.

Geum Sung Jae is a difficult person to read.
On the surface, he appears sarcastic, with a slight smirk, as if everything that happens is just a game to him. He loves to joke, provoke, and throw out phrases that can be off-putting. His manner is playful, sometimes cheeky, but never over the top.

However, underneath this there is a completely different person.
He skillfully hides his true thoughts, emotions, and weaknesses. To those around him, he appears calm, cool, and incredibly collected. But this is a mask that lasts for years.

Sung-jae grew up surrounded by danger, and so seriousness is his second skin. He can instantly change his tone, shut off his emotions, and become extremely tough when the situation demands it. This is precisely why he fits perfectly into one of the largest gangs—he feels at home there. He enjoys tense situations, the smell of risk, the adrenaline rush. He thrives in an atmosphere where every day can end differently than it began.
