R/S STATUS silently crushing on someone
FACECLAIM hyunjae, the boyz
ORIENTATION demiual, demiromantic
MBTI ENFJ, the protagonist.
 
the so-called "crown prince" of yonsei's college of engineering, lim haesol is someone who seems worthy of the title. friendly and able to crack jokes here and there, there doesn't seem to be anyone who wouldn't think of him fondly. haesol is one who carries himself with patience so many applaud him for being able to calmly handle sticky situations and call out those who need it. for the freshmen of the department, he is prince charming but perhaps for those closer to him, he is a prince with a jokester attitude and a very loud cackling laugh. deep down, he tries to not let his pride and stubbornness encompass his actions because deep down, he wouldn't want to get hurt or hurt others. even so, he's slowly suffering inside from his unspoken one-sided crush on someone from his game programming club.

once ewha womans university's college of business administration's "social butterfly", now assistant manager nam seohee is someone who keeps her head high and steps confident. she seems like the perfect example of a career woman; a promising future in her company, a hunger for more, a level-headed attitude and a loving boyfriend. well, perhaps, she would have to scratch that last one off the list. it would be a lie for her to say that witnessing the scene with her own eyes didn't hurt but at least, she could now focus her emotions on finishing her MBA and becoming the guest mentor of yonsei's game programming club due to her current occupation. seohee doesn't mind it, though, because she really enjoys sharing her experiences with the students and even, once managed to take them on a tour inside level station's office. that was all thanks to haesol who first extended his hand to her.

FACECLAIM shin hyesun
ORIENTATION demiual.
MBTI ISTJ, the logistician.
 
forever "odette" and "giselle" in everyone's hearts, yeon boreum is a phoenix reborn from its ashes. taking baby steps forward after the traumatic fall that ended her ballerina career, boreum is perhaps still not fine. the ptsd and its triggers, depression and the past are all still so bold in her mind but the psychiatrist visits every now and then help her out. that's why boreum wants to make a better world for those who fell out of their grace like her. that's why she wants to help women who are left in the dust after they're no longer what their jobs tells them they are. that's what boreum strives to be and even if she's not perfectly fine, just being a little fine is better than when she was in a dark tunnel post surgery. yeon boreum is the personification of perseverance and determination, the papers write, and for what it's worth, such a statement is not wrong at all.

the skating prince or prince on ice, so yeonwoo is one of yonsei university's prides. due to his training schedule, he's not often seen on campus but everyone's eyes are all on him when he is. just like the icy rink he's used to inhaling, yeonwoo is one to save his words but such a persona proves to only attract more attention to him. the gold medalist at the 2016 winter youth olympics in the boys' 500 metres event, yeonwoo had always been in for greater things. he is a regular face in the junior national team and now, the senior national team with some of south korea's most well-known names in short track speed skating. one could only wonder how yeonwoo keeps up with yonsei's academics but then again, yonsei is more than willing to cut him some slack, especially when considering his involvement in the national team roster set to depart for the 2022 winter olympics in beijing.

everyone knows who she is. no harang is the heiress to the entire hwang-ok e-commerce group, including level station company but for many, she still has a long way to go. she would have to pursue her master's degree and perhaps a doctorate to match before slowly being integrated into the business industry. yet, even if it's still a while before her grand coronation as the rightful heiress to the major group, no harang knows how to learn and absorp the world that surrounds her very well. she knows how to stand up after falling down and so, she fears nothing. she is well known for her fun-loving attitude and grand gatherings where she invites everyone in her class on the weekends. such is the benefits others get from her as one of her closest contact but then again, what are the benefits she gets from this life of hers? no harang knows the answer and she can't wait to claim the power and prestige like the crown princess she is.

ORIENTATION heteroromantic, grayual.
MBTI ISFP, the adventurer.
 
if you conduct a survey for the percentage of students at yonsei university go to get well soon coffee, the results would be an overwhelming "yes, religiously".  get well soon coffee has been around for about three generations of students and the ownership has been passed down through the generation of the cheon family. the current ownership is held by "cheon abeoji", cheon kwangmin. so, it didn't take long before many regular customers notice how the middle-aged owner is slowly at the cashier and coffee machine where he's often seen. instead, his good-looking son, cheon maru is now often seen in his stead taking orders at the counter or whipping up delicious coffees. not much is known about cheon abeoji's condition so customers are told that his son is now the stand-in owner but not many complain. after all, cheon maru is an eyecandy whose appearance and mannerism can easily sweep any lady's feet.

once an intern, now assistant manager, do baron is an entertaining fellow who embodies the phrase "young and wild" with a friendly, witty and professional attitude. many wonder why he remains single, unattached to a certain lover which is evident in his always bare right ring finger. baron also doesn't have the answer but the affairs related to his ring finger are least of his concerns when he's one of the younger staffs aiming for promotion and being given projects of big responsibilities. yes, even when the female staffs and co-workers often pester him to go on blind dates with their acquaintances. when it comes to his nine to five corporate life, he won't crumble or falter that easy, though. he has everything up for grabs right in front of him. he'd be dumb to mess up and make everything go out the window at such an important time.
