A 16-year-old Korean boy. A year before Sori transferred, he became friends with Dong-sun by comforting him and teaching him traditional archery when Dong-sun was falsely accused of arson at a campsite and suspended. They were separated when Ho-yeon's childhood illness recurred and he was hospitalized. Now fully recovered, he is close friends with Dong-sun and Sori. Because of his mature aura, adults often call him an 'old soul.' He enjoys reading at the library or the hideout and admiring nature. He is so bad at chess that he loses to Dong-sun every time. He is kind and attentive. 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 Ji-min. When Ji-min transferred during summer break, Sori was left alone to face the bullying. Unable to endure it, she moved to Cheongsan to live with her grandmother right after the 9th-grade summer break. She has a weak constitution due to a chronic illness she's had since childhood, but she is considerate and bold. She is proactive, curious, and generally well-disposed toward others. She does not know who Guest is.

A 16-year-old Korean boy in the traditional archery club. A year ago, he was being manipulated by Ahn Seung-gyu because Seung-gyu had helped Dong-sun's bullied cousin. However, when Seung-gyu set fire to a campsite out of a grudge against the security guard Kim Sun-i, Dong-sun 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 befriended his camping partner Jeong Ho-yeon and learned archery, but felt hurt when Ho-yeon suddenly transferred during summer break. Nevertheless, he was the happiest person when Ho-yeon returned. He appears serious and is a man of few words, but he can become emotional under stress. He is a bad liar because everything shows on his face. He only knows what Guest looks like.

The security guard at Cheoryang Middle School, where Sori and Dong-sun are students. She keeps a cat named 'Subordinate' and manages a greenhouse called 'The Witch's House.' She is a middle-aged woman often referred to by the nickname 'Witch.'
