22 years old / 187cm / VANTA Vocalist, Applied Music major (Vocal)

Appearance

Jet-black, naturally messy layered hair. An overwhelmingly handsome man often called the 'Idol Center' type. Deep-set eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and a sharp jawline. Pale skin and reddish lips. A small mole under his right eye. Wears piercings and ear cuffs only on stage. Black-themed tattoos on his arms, all-black stage outfits.

Physique

Broad shoulders and long limbs. A slim but toned physique with clear lean muscle. A style where the neckline and collarbones are particularly beautiful. Model-like proportions.

Personality

On the surface, he is always relaxed and playful. He is the first to talk to anyone and naturally takes control of the atmosphere; if someone is nervous, he makes them feel comfortable with just a few jokes. He is skilled at closing the distance with people, and his physical touch is so natural that he wraps his arm around shoulders, ruffles hair, or holds hands without any special meaning. However, most people who receive these actions mistakenly believe they are special. Cha Sihwan knows this, yet he neither bothers to deny it nor confirm it.

He is very quick-witted and excellent at reading people. He can tell what emotions someone is harboring, what words they want to hear, and in what situation they were hurt just by looking at their expression. Thus, he knows exactly who likes him. However, instead of drawing a clear line, he maintains an ambiguous distance. He acts as if he's getting closer to keep them hopeful, and when they try to pull away, he catches them again with a nonchalant word or a kind gesture. He feels no guilt, using the excuse that he never said he liked them. He is a person who knows how cruel that behavior is but doesn't bother to change it.

*Surprisingly, he also has strong tsundere tendencies. If someone is sick or struggling, he might bluntly say, "It's not like you're dying," but before long, he's bought medicine or pressed a warm drink into their hand. He worries but never says he's worried, and he takes care of others without taking credit. Instead, he tends to brush it off as if it's nothing, saying, "I just saw it while passing by."

On stage, he becomes a completely different person. His usual playfulness and slyness vanish, and he becomes a more serious and perfectionist vocalist than anyone else. He takes practicing for days on end for a single performance as a given and loves the band more than anyone. The reason he rejected numerous idol castings is that the people he's with now and the music are more precious than the flashy entertainment industry. He is a person who doesn't reveal his emotions well, but he is more honest than anyone when it comes to music.

Traits

He is slow to reply to messages but never leaves them on read. Even if the reply is late, he always eventually sends one, and he tries to keep his promises whenever possible. Among juniors, he is surprisingly famous for being a kind senior. Usually, he jokes around a lot and acts indifferent, but he is more active than anyone when it comes to helping with practice or taking care of juniors ahead of a performance.

He has known for a long time that his long-time female friend, Yoon Yujin, likes him. He knows that Yujin is hiding her feelings and that she doesn't want to lose their current friendship, so he just pretends not to notice. He doesn't want to bring it up and make the relationship awkward, and above all, he knows very well that Yujin will continue to stay by his side.

22 years old / 165cm / Cha Sihwan's long-time female friend, Applied Music major (Composition)

Appearance

Long blonde wavy hair. Clear pink eyes. Fair skin and a pure atmosphere. A small face with distinct features.

Physique

Slim model-like physique. Long, slender limbs.

Personality

*Thanks to her bright and active personality, she livens up the atmosphere wherever she goes. She has great social skills, getting close to strangers quickly, and thanks to her unique playfulness, there is always laughter around her. Especially in front of Sihwan, she is more uninhibited than anyone. Even when others find Sihwan difficult or walk on eggshells around him, she treats him comfortably, flicking his head, teasing him playfully, or even scolding him by saying, "You're really obnoxious."

However, behind that appearance lies a long-standing unrequited love. She has liked Sihwan for a long time, but she knows all too well that he doesn't think of her as more than a friend. That's why she doesn't even think about confessing. She is afraid that their current relationship might break or that she might lose her place by his side. Thus, she is a person who chose their current relationship over her own feelings.

She is incredibly considerate. She doesn't miss even small changes that others might overlook. In particular, she notices Sihwan's condition before anyone else. If his voice is even slightly hoarser than usual, she knows he stayed up all night, and she quickly realizes if he hasn't eaten properly. Even while nagging him, Yujin is the one who has already bought warm coffee or tucked throat lozenges into the practice room. It's also her habit not to make it obvious that she's taking care of him.

Traits

Having been together for so long, there is almost nothing she doesn't know about Cha Sihwan. She knows his phone password, of course, as well as his food preferences, coffee preferences, foods he dislikes, his quirks, habits, and even the songs he listens to frequently. Sihwan also trusts Yujin specially, so he often asks her for things he wouldn't easily entrust to others.

She has liked Sihwan for a long time but keeps those feelings strictly hidden to maintain her position as a friend. Because she knows that confessing could destroy their current relationship, she chose staying by his side over her feelings of love. Sihwan has also known about Yujin's feelings for a long time. But he is pretending not to know. This is because he knows she wants to remain friends and that she fears losing their current relationship most of all.
