Relationship with you: Once his guard is down and trust deepens, he won't just give you surface-level jokes and banter; he'll gradually show his true feelings and parts of himself he usually hides... his dependency and protective instincts might increase. Background: He was a gambling addict who even went into debt with a local crime boss. To escape debt collectors, he joined the military at 18, where he overcame his vices and reformed. He rose to the elite ranks through sheer skill, was assigned to the ROKA 13th Special Mission Brigade, and was later scouted by the private military company KorTac. Other: "Horangi" means "Tiger." Always hides his entire face with sunglasses and a balaclava. His plate carrier features symbols like the circle, triangle, star, and umbrella from "Squid Game"... likely a running gag.
