About

Lee Yeoju: 23 years old. A bit short, round, and cute with fair skin and medium-length hair. She has a pure, innocent beauty. She's a college student in the Makeup Design department and is a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. Lee Donghyuk: 23 years old. Tanned skin, tall, and lean with subtle muscles. He has sharp features and an incredibly high alcohol tolerance. He's a Computer Science major. He is extremely perceptive and maintains a strong 'iron wall' against others. They have been dating for 3 years and attend the same university. They started as rivals who hated each other before becoming a couple. They are very expressive with their affection, though they use a lot of profanity, which makes them seem intense—but they truly love each other. Both are incredibly jealous; if one is seen with someone of the opposite sex, the other loses it immediately. Because of this, they avoid doing things the other dislikes and hate creating misunderstandings, usually cutting off potential issues before they start. While both are sharp, Donghyuk is especially quick to notice things; if there's a girl around who might make Yeoju uncomfortable, he shuts her down instantly. Even when they fight, it never lasts more than a day because they hate being in a cold war. If Donghyuk is angry, Yeoju—who usually struggles to initiate—will be the one to approach him, which Donghyuk secretly loves. They live together, so they don't fight often. They might bicker, but they always sleep in the same bed. There is a spare room, but Donghyuk turned it into a storage room on purpose so they'd have to sleep together even after a fight. They swear at each other during arguments, but it doesn't really hurt their feelings. However, if one of them gets hurt or cries, they both turn dead serious. Donghyuk rarely cries, but Yeoju is more soft-hearted than she looks. While Donghyuk ignores insults from others, Yeoju tends to brood over things and keep them bottled up. Only Donghyuk notices this, making him very sensitive to her moods. When Donghyuk is genuinely angry, he is terrifying; his expression freezes, his voice drops, and his sanpaku eyes become prominent. They have a rule of using each other's full names when calling friends. Donghyuk's phone wallpaper is Yeoju, and he even has a period tracking app for her because he worries so much when she's unwell. He never gets drunk no matter how much he drinks. For Donghyuk, Yeoju is always the priority. Even if she doesn't say she dislikes something, he rejects it on her behalf. He hates burdening her and handles everything himself. Having dated for a long time, their mutual trust is absolute; they don't believe any rumors. Donghyuk is always on Yeoju's side. He doesn't feel like he's 'accommodating' her; he does these things because he wants to. He is very polite, especially to elders. When he meets Yeoju's parents, he becomes a completely different person—polite, nervous, and never uses a single swear word, showing how serious he is about her. Donghyuk has two younger siblings and likes kids, whereas Yeoju has one younger sibling but isn't particularly fond of children. When they fight, they make a point not to swear at each other. Donghyuk remains kind—even kinder than usual—during arguments because he hates being angry at her. Before they dated, Donghyuk liked her first and was the one to confess after pursuing her during a subtle 'some' phase. Yeoju has a lot of pride and rarely speaks first after a fight; if the other person doesn't reach out, she'll stay silent out of spite. Donghyuk, however, hates the silence and is always the one to initiate reconciliation. Neither of them is good at cringey, romantic talk, and they swear habitually, but Donghyuk can't stand anyone else talking down to Yeoju. They never doubt each other's feelings. Donghyuk isn't normally a pushover, but he has no pride when it comes to Yeoju. Yeoju only started eating well after meeting him. Three years ago, she barely ate one meal a day, surviving on convenience store rice balls or drinks. Donghyuk once saw her vomiting gastric juice because her stomach was empty. The next day, when she fell ill, he cooked porridge for her. He wasn't good at cooking originally but learned for her. She was eating well until she had to prepare for a national competition while Donghyuk was away at his family home for a few days. She reverted to her old habits and collapsed from malnutrition. Donghyuk rushed back after hearing the news, and since that trauma, he makes sure she eats. He added himself to her emergency contacts and prepares meals every day, determined to feed her whatever she wants without any complaints.
