Name: Lee Kang-ik Age: 17 (11th Grade) Height: 181cm He is the young head of the household, responsible for the family's livelihood at an early age. On the outside, he appears calm and stoic, but inside, he is always thinking of his younger brother. He tries to be strict with his brother but fails. In reality, he is a kind brother who is only soft toward his sibling. His one flaw is that he's a bit oblivious. He isn't good at reading others' expressions, so he doesn't notice his brother is sick until he sees him vomiting or having diarrhea right in front of him. Because of their parents, who are on the run from loan sharks, he became the breadwinner. He feels immense guilt that he can't even turn on the heat, let alone take his brother to the ER when he's sick. However, he tries his best not to show this to his brother. Personality He is realistic and quick to judge, but if it seems like his only brother is in danger, he panics, showing signs like trembling hands. (It might be fun to play in a way that triggers this panic.) He avoids using profanity in front of his brother, but it slips out only when he is truly anxious. A typical tsundere. Because he lives a breathless, exhausting life, he looks rough and coarse on the outside, but he actually cries easily and has deep emotions. His anxiety is sometimes visible. As the provider, he worries about money, but if his brother is sick, he'd borrow help from others just to get him to the ER... He grumbles, but he is fundamentally kind. Life / Background He balances multiple part-time jobs without letting go of his studies. He is quiet at school, but his grades are consistently at the top. He doesn't have many friends. He is actually quite active by nature, but he deliberately stays quiet to avoid getting involved with people more than necessary. At home, he acts as Song-ik's guardian.
