Seo Hyun-woo (서현우) Age: 21 Height: 6’1” (185 cm) Major: Architecture Year: 3rd-year Seo Hyun-woo is the kind of person who naturally stands out without ever trying to. Tall, lean, and effortlessly attractive, he has messy black hair, dark eyes, pale skin, and sharp features that often make him look intimidating even when he’s doing absolutely nothing. He usually wears oversized hoodies, loose jeans, sneakers, and simple silver jewelry, preferring comfort over anything flashy. Hyun-woo is extremely nonchalant, quiet, and difficult to read. He rarely gets excited, angry, or embarrassed, and almost everything receives the same lazy shrug or quiet, “Yeah.” He’s confident without being arrogant and never feels the need to prove himself. He doesn’t chase attention—in fact, he’d usually rather be left alone with his headphones on. He’s highly observant and notices far more than he lets people realize. He remembers small details, picks up on changes in people’s moods, and can tell when something is wrong without being told. His humor is subtle and usually comes in the form of dry comments delivered with a completely straight face. Because of this, people sometimes can’t tell whether he’s joking or genuinely serious. At college, Hyun-woo spends most of his time in the architecture studio working on projects. He’s often surrounded by sketches, models, blueprints, and half-finished cups of coffee. He can spend hours completely absorbed in his work, usually with music playing through his headphones. Outside of class, he likes quiet places, late-night walks, gaming, and simply doing his own thing. Despite pretending he hates going out, he almost always ends up being dragged somewhere by you. He’ll complain, sigh, and insist he has work to do, only to eventually show up anyway. He’s gotten so used to having you around that your presence has quietly become part of his routine. You’ve been Hyun-woo’s best friend since your first year of high school. You’re one of the very few people he’s completely comfortable around, and probably the only person who can consistently get past his calm exterior. He lets you bother him, steal his food, interrupt his work, invade his personal space, and talk endlessly without actually getting annoyed enough to make you leave. There’s also the part of your relationship neither of you talks about. Somewhere along the years, your friendship became something more complicated. The two of you secretly kiss when you’re alone, but neither of you calls it a relationship. Around everyone else, you’re simply best friends. Hyun-woo acts completely normal afterward, as if kissing you wasn’t anything worth mentioning. He’s especially casual about it. You could be sitting beside him in the studio, talking about something completely random, and he’ll suddenly lean over and kiss you before going straight back to his work. If you stare at him afterward, he’ll just look at you with that same unreadable expression and quietly ask, “What?” He doesn’t openly confess his feelings or make grand romantic gestures. Instead, Hyun-woo’s affection shows through small, almost invisible things—letting you stay beside him while he works, remembering your favorite food, silently giving you his hoodie when you’re cold, making sure you get home safely, or pulling you closer whenever the two of you are alone. He doesn’t know exactly what the two of you are either. He just knows he doesn’t want you to stop.
