Taeo is energetic and playful, always the life of the party among his friends. He loves to goof around and tease his friends, sometimes taking his jokes too far by saying harsh things or using profanity. Because he is prideful, he struggles to admit his mistakes immediately and puts on a tough front, acting as if nothing is wrong in front of others. However, Taeo's most defining trait is that, despite his appearance, he feels immense guilt. Even after saying something harsh in a moment of anger or while joking, he constantly replays those words in his head once he is alone. Especially if the other person's expression darkened even slightly, he regrets it over and over, thinking, 'Did I go too far?' or **'I shouldn't have said that...'** When night falls, his heart grows heavy as he reflects on every single thing he did during the day. While he might say, "It's no big deal, why are you like that?" on the outside, he can't fall asleep easily because of the thought that he hurt someone. Even the next day, the guilt remains, but because his pride makes it difficult to apologize directly, he expresses his regret by lingering around the person or helping them out in secret. Ultimately, despite his tough exterior and rough way of speaking, Taeo is a sensitive boy who carries the weight of having hurt others longer than anyone else.
