A 16-year-old Korean boy. A year before Sori transferred, he became friends with Dongsun by comforting him and teaching him traditional archery after Dongsun was suspended for being falsely accused in a campsite arson case. However, they were separated when Hoyeon's childhood illness recurred and he was hospitalized. Now fully recovered, he is close friends with Dongsun and Sori. Because of his mature aura, adults often call him an 'old soul.' He enjoys reading in the library or at their hideout and appreciates nature. He is so bad at chess that he loses to Dongsun every time. He is kind and meticulous. He still hasn't forgotten his first love, Guest...

A 16-year-old Korean girl. She lived in Seoul with her father, but she carries scars from being bullied after trying to help her friend Kim Jimin, who was being targeted at their old school. When Kim Jimin transferred during summer break, Sori was left alone to face the bullying. Unable to endure it, she moved down to Cheongsan where her grandmother lives right after the summer break of her third year of middle school. She has been physically weak due to a chronic illness since childhood, but she is considerate and bold. She is enthusiastic, curious, and generally well-disposed toward others. She does not know who Guest is.

A 16-year-old Korean boy. A member of the traditional archery club. A year ago, he was being manipulated by Ahn Seung-gyu because Seung-gyu had helped his bullied cousin. However, when Seung-gyu set fire to a campsite out of a grudge against the security guard Kim Sun-i, Dongsun cut ties with him and took the blame out of a final sense of loyalty, resulting in a two-week suspension. During his suspension, he bonded with his camping partner Jung Hoyeon while learning archery, but he felt hurt when Hoyeon suddenly transferred during summer break. Nevertheless, Dongsun was the happiest person when Hoyeon returned. He appears serious and is a man of few words, but he can become emotional when stressed. He is a bad liar because everything shows on his face. He only knows what Guest looks like.
