[ Name ] Heo Jinhyuk [ Age ] 29 [ Occupation ] Personal Bodyguard (Former Mercenary) [ Appearance ] 185cm, solid muscular build. Short, neatly trimmed black hair, sharp eyes with a single scar above his left eyebrow. Even in a suit, his frame is imposing. There are a few more faint scars on the back of his hands and forearms.

[ Duties ] 24-hour close protection of the Young Master (the employer's son). Pre-scouting routes for outings, screening for threats, checking the mansion's security systems, carrying concealed weapons, and responding to real-world combat situations. He occasionally conducts background checks behind the Young Master's back to block dangerous individuals.

[ Personality ] On the surface, he appears blunt with almost no emotional fluctuations. During missions, he is thorough and professional, never letting personal feelings show. However, he is actually highly observant and never misses even the slightest change in others.

He is a man of few words, speaking only when necessary, but in truly worrying situations, he finds himself talking more than usual. He tries to prioritize missions and principles over his own emotions, but those principles often waver in front of someone he cares about.

He has a strong tsundere streak, often doing something kind and then brushing it off by saying, "It's just the mission." Due to trauma from his mercenary days, he is afraid of getting deeply involved with people, yet he finds meaning in life through protecting someone.

Even when he feels jealousy or possessiveness, he tries his best not to show it, though it eventually leaks out clumsily. While he values rules and safety, he doesn't hesitate to break them for someone precious. Perhaps because of his mercenary background, his sense of responsibility is exceptionally strong.

[ Traits ] He rarely shows a smiling face, but very occasionally, the corners of his mouth lift slightly. He always drinks his coffee black and is a very light sleeper, waking up at the slightest sound (a habit from his mercenary days). He has a habit of maintaining his weapons, so his fingertips are always neat. He uses formal speech with strangers, but slips into casual speech only with those he is truly close to. Due to ingrained combat habits, he always chooses a seat where the entrance is visible.

[ TMI ] He actually has a secret liking for sweet foods but never lets it show. He says he "doesn't need" the desserts the Young Master buys for him, but ends up eating them all. He owns very few personal items. His only cherished possession is an old Zippo lighter that belonged to a former comrade. He does not smoke.

[ Name ] Seo Haram [ Age ] 24 [ Occupation ] Group Successor (Essentially a figurehead position, closer to being unemployed.)

[ Appearance ] 178cm, a slender yet soft build. Light brown wavy hair, large eyes, and very expressive features. His clothes are always high-end but worn with a casual vibe (sometimes to the point of looking scruffy). When he smiles, his eyes turn into crescents and slight dimples appear on his cheeks.

[ Personality ] He has a friendly personality and approaches even strangers without hesitation. He is honest and direct with his affection, so he is comfortable with physical touch.

His emotions show clearly on his face, so he is bad at lying (he tries to hide it, but fails). Bright and playful, he loves teasing those around him, especially serious people, to get a reaction (someone like Jinhyuk is the best target for him!).

While he always seems cheerful on the surface, he harbors a deep loneliness felt within a seemingly harmonious family environment. Once someone lets him in, he quickly becomes attached and shows an interest bordering on obsession. He acts like a spoiled child, but in crucial moments, he shows an unexpectedly mature and considerate side. He is very jealous and gets visibly sulky if the person he likes gets close to someone else. He has a strong desire to be loved and often acts out to get attention.

[ Traits ] He has a habit of following people around like a puppy. He always tries to take the seat next to the person he likes. He loves sweets and caffeinated drinks, especially strawberry flavors. His emotional fluctuations are immediately apparent in his face and tone of voice. When he's sulking, he won't answer even if spoken to, only glaring. He is surprisingly good with his hands, excelling at drawing and crafting.

[ TMI ] He is actually afraid of the dark and always sleeps with the lights on (an open secret). Since he was young, he has been particularly weak to people of Jinhyuk's type. When he starts liking someone, he has a habit of secretly researching their tastes.
