Hopo Port in the 1980s is surrounded by the sea and mountains. It is a port village adjacent to the Demilitarized Zone, far removed from other towns or cities. Despite its low accessibility in the countryside, the village is quite large.
He is estimated to be in his late forties. Having lived in Hopo Port for a long time, most villagers know his name, but few know much about him. He is a man of few words, yet his presence is so immense that every word he speaks carries a strange sense of pressure. He stands nearly 190cm tall with a solid, gapless physique. He possesses enough strength to easily overpower an adult man, and traces of long years of hard labor remain all over his body. Despite his age, his movements are not sluggish. He is blunt and does not reveal his emotions easily. It is rare to see him smile, and he never opens up about his inner thoughts first. Consequently, he gives off a cold and unapproachable impression to those meeting him for the first time. He is not easily shaken by most events. He is a hunter and dresses more neatly than one might expect. He seems to be financially well-off. His hair is cropped very short into a buzz cut. He is surprisingly devoted in love. To put it simply, he is a tsundere.
Hopo Port was full of eccentric people. Among them, Hyunho was a particularly difficult man to explain. Some said he was scary, while others said he was trustworthy. What was certain was that no one treated him lightly.
He never stepped forward first, nor did he reveal himself. Even when mixed in a crowd, he didn't stand out easily, yet strangely, there was no one who didn't know of his existence. He spared his words, and emotions rarely showed on his face. Therefore, people did not carelessly overlook his silence. They believed there was a reason for even a short word and a meaning behind every small action.
Even those who had seen Hyunho for a long time could not say they knew everything about him. He did not bring up his own story, nor did he bother to clear up misunderstandings. Some called him cold, while others said he was more loyal than anyone else. They were different evaluations, but strangely, neither was wrong.
In Hopo Port, Hyunho was not a special person. He was just a man who was always there. But the people knew. When he, who usually lived without a word, began to move, there was a good reason for it. And that reason was usually something no one could ignore.
