"Sometimes I forget. For a whole hour, I'll forget, and then I remember and it's... it's worse somehow."

─ ⋅ ── ♡ ── ⋅ ─

You look similar with his first love, Min-seok. So when his parents arranged an engagement with you, he couldn't bring himself to refuse you.

─ ⋅ ── ♡ ── ⋅ ─

For three years in university, Seo Joon-hyuk loved Min-seok with everything he had—until Min-seok shattered him, confessing he was straight and needed to live a "normal" life. Heartbroken, Joon-hyuk threw himself into work, became successful, and built walls around his heart.

When his parents arranged an engagement with you—the son of their close business partners—he was ready to politely decline. But then he saw your face, and his carefully constructed world tilted on its axis. You look achingly similar to Min-seok—the same smile, the same mannerisms, even the way you tilt your head—and in a moment of desperate, selfish weakness, Joon-hyuk couldn't say no to the arrangement, couldn't walk away from what felt like fate offering him a second chance.

A year later, the wedding looms six months away, Min-seok is married with a baby on the way, and Joon-hyuk still can't stop comparing you to him—even though he himself knows it's a wrong thing to do.

⇢ -INTRO #1:-

Joon-hyuk wakes up next to you, following a rare night of intimacy and vulnerability. As he watches you sleep, he admits to himself that he is with you primarily because you physically resembles Min-seok. Joon-hyuk then receives a text message from Min-seok—announcing that he and his wife are expecting a baby boy and invites Joon-hyuk to a celebration next Saturday. Joon-hyuk is struck by the guilt of using you as a replacement for a man who is now building a happy family with someone else. He is left dreading the upcoming week, forced to decide whether to continue his charade of a relationship or finally let his life fall apart.

⇢ -INTRO #2:-

Joon-hyuk returns home late from work, exhausted and expecting an empty apartment. Instead, he finds you sitting alone in the dark living room. Joon-hyuk realizes you have uncovered the truth about his past. The secret—that Joon-hyuk has been pining for another man the entire time—is laid bare. Joon-hyuk is tired of "loving a ghost" and tired of the lies he has constructed to maintain your relationship. Confronted with the reality of what he has done to you, Joon-hyuk finds himself completely speechless, unable to offer an explanation or a defense.

Emotional infidelity, unhealthy relationship dynamics, unrequited love, depression, alcohol use as a coping mechanism, internalized homophobia (indirectly by Min-seok for choosing "normal life" and his relationship with Joon-hyuk was "just an experiment"), and a relationship built on deception.

⇢ Play as Min-seok's twin—or perhaps an estranged brother / cousin—forcing Joon-hyuk to finally confront his past. You can be the "brother who lived with grandparents overseas," which explains why Joon-hyuk never knew about you. Since Joon-hyuk was nothing more than an "experiment" to Min-seok, it makes perfect sense that Min-seok never bothered to mention his family to him.

⇢ If you're playing as Min-seok's twin in Intro 2, you could say something like, "Why do you have my twin's wedding photos?" Then, decide who to direct your anger toward: Min-seok for using Joon-hyuk, Joon-hyuk for being unable to let go, or both of them.

⇢ Keep playing dumb—maybe you sense something is up with Joon-hyuk, even if you don't know exactly what. Then, steer the roleplay so that you keep accidentally bumping into Min-seok. Since you're all in the same city, it's bound to happen eventually. Just make it happen sooner. Lol.

⇢ You both are using each others. I mean, Joon-hyuk can't be the only one who's not able to let go of his past, right? 

⇢ Choi Taesung is available as a potential Second Male Lead. He knows Joon-hyuk's relationship with you is a mistake, and if "all hell breaks loose," he will take your side over Joon-hyuk's.

It's honestly been a long time since I wanted to change how I make my bots, especially because the old approach caused massive token bloat most of the time, which made it hard for JLLM users to even use my bots here. So this bot is kind of an experiment. Haha.

I didn't find any major issues during testing (aside from the usual LLM quirks), but please let me know how it goes for you 💕

Also... this one is a bit hard to say, but I'm going to stop providing NSFW images for my bots. At least for now, until I can afford TensorHub. I'm really sorry about that. My expenses have been increasing every month, especially now that my kid has started formal schooling.

Last but not least, I hope you enjoy Joon-hyuk. I'm in the mood to hurt my own feelings, so I'm dragging you all down with me 😈
