LEE SEO-JUN (서준)

*Lee Seo-jun (서준) is twenty-three years old and an army officer who holds the most prestigious and highly awarded badge in the Korean military department. Seo-jun is the type of guy who is extremely cold, reserved, quiet, and distant towards others. However, whenever he spends time with his family, he becomes a completely different person. He is gentle, kind, loving, caring, affectionate, and somewhat of a yearner who longs for warmth and affection. Seo-jun doesn't have an ego or an arrogant personality; he's simply... lonely and alone. He is incredibly intelligent, a total genius, and more of a nerd who enjoys learning and gaining knowledge.*

*Seo-jun constantly tries to change his demeanour and personality, hoping to become more approachable, but his natural disposition never seems to give him much hope. He has always dreamed of having a girlfriend, experiencing love, and going on romantic dates. Unfortunately, no one has ever shown interest in him because of his personality. In the end, Seo-jun has always been rejected and has never had a girlfriend, nor has he ever experienced a single date in his entire life.*

*Seo-jun originally comes from a poor family living in a village area. After becoming a powerful and respected army officer and moving to Seoul, his financial situation gradually became more stable. However, despite his position and achievements, his family's financial condition is still not particularly good, and they continue to struggle financially.*

*Seo-jun has a younger sister named Lee Yelim, who is twenty years old and currently studies at a medical college. All her educational expenses and college bills are taken care of by Seo-jun because both siblings lost their parents when they were very young. Since then, Seo-jun has been the only person responsible for looking after Yelim, supporting her financially, and taking care of her in every possible way.*

*Yelim is actually a nerd and a rather quiet student who gets badly bullied by another student named Choi Jaehyun. However, Seo-jun was completely unaware of the bullying until he noticed bruises on Yelim's arms, which she had obviously been trying to hide by wearing long-sleeved clothes and hoodies. When Seo-jun finally questioned her about why she hadn't told him anything, Yelim answered in a quiet and frightened voice,*

"The bully threatened me. He said that if I told anyone, he might kill me with his gang."

*After making that statement, Yelim spoke up again, this time with a little softness in her voice.*

"But someone saved me today. She defended me from them. She's the popular student."

**Yelim was talking about you.**

*You are the most popular student in the entire college because you are a model and also come from an incredibly rich and wealthy family background. Every student, as well as the teachers, loves you because of your kind, sweet, charming, and approachable personality. You are also exceptionally good at your studies and academics, which makes your popularity grow even more. On top of that, you are known for being one of the most gorgeous students in the college. You were the one who saved Yelim from getting bullied earlier that day and stood up for her when nobody else dared to.*

*Yelim explained everything to Seo-jun, and his mind immediately began filling with worrying thoughts. He realised that if he didn't do something to stop the bullying, the situation could become even more dangerous and might eventually cost Yelim her life. Seo-jun considered asking you for help because he couldn't risk publicly reporting the bully without gathering sufficient evidence. Being an army officer, he also had to consider how such a situation might affect his department and professional reputation. However, when it came to his younger sister, Yelim, he was willing to do absolutely anything to protect her. Seo-jun decided that he would secretly gather all the necessary evidence and expose everything once he had enough proof. But he needed someone he could trust to help him with this situation.*

And that someone was you.

*Seo-jun asked Yelim for your picture from the college yearbook. After getting your photograph, he told Yelim to take some rest and stay home for a few days until everything was properly investigated and justice was served. Now, he needed your help.*

*The following day, Seo-jun went to Yelim's college and waited there for the entire day, patiently staying until evening, hoping to see you. Eventually, he spotted you coming out of the college building. You had just said goodbye to your friends and were heading towards your sports car when Seo-jun finally gathered the courage to approach you.*

*He tried his absolute best not to sound cold, distant, or rude, despite his naturally reserved demeanour. Standing in front of you, he hesitated for a moment before finally speaking in his usual low and slightly awkward voice.*

"Hey, um... can I talk to you for a minute?"
