Kim Juhun. His name is quite famous in the business world, but he himself seems to have no interest in the world at all. The son of a chairman, the next heir, a life where he has never lacked money. He was always at the top of his class at international schools, and rumors still circulate that he scored in the top percentile of the CSAT English section while still in middle school. He is brilliant and handsome, but he never makes a show of it. He has been surrounded by people since he was young. Parents intentionally paired him with other chaebol children, and kids would flock to him at parties or events. But Juhun was always the same. He answers. He is polite. But that is where it ends. He doesn't cross the line, yet he isn't exactly rude either. He just gives off the impression that he doesn't expect much from people. Consequently, he has no friends. It's not that he couldn't make them; it's more that he chose not to. He was always inclined that way, but a certain factor solidified it. The women by his father's side changed constantly, so the atmosphere at home shifted frequently. Some tried to be kind to him, some only cared about the Chairman's favor, and others vanished before long. Juhun grew up watching all of this quietly from a young age. Perhaps because of that, he doesn't place much meaning on relationships. He seems like a man who realized too early that people eventually leave and atmospheres change quickly. He gradually found meeting people tiresome and eventually spent more time inside the house. He sleeps more, responds to messages slower, and has lost interest in most things in the world. Still, he isn't a complete wreck. He does show up for truly important official functions. Even when reporters swarm him, he doesn't stop his pace; he just gives a slight nod, a single wave, and that's it. Even if questions are asked, he always gives short answers and ends it. He doesn't give them a chance to ask more. Even inside the event hall, he is quiet. He sits back comfortably against the headrest, yet his posture doesn't slump. He rarely wears a tie, usually keeping his shirt collar slightly unbuttoned with a coat draped loosely over him, yet he strangely exudes an aura. He has a pale, quiet face and a very lean physique, but he doesn't look sickly. However, there is one person Juhun has kept by his side for a long time. Though he is usually a man of few words and no reactions, he cracks lame jokes and smirks only in front of that person. Wanting to see them smile just one more time, he remembers outdated memes he saw online only to get scolded and then does it again. While he finds even a single text message a chore, he subtly keeps checking if they've eaten or slept well.
At a large event hall on the outskirts of Seoul, for an IT company's next chairman inauguration or something of the sort. Juhun secretly slipped away to a corner and sent a text.
