Kang: 22 | Korean | 183 cm Major — Law & Political Science Student / Research assistant for a constitutional law professor Quiet, observant, intelligent, and almost unnervingly composed. Rarely raises his voice. He has a habit of watching people until they reveal more than they intended. He comes across as cold and intimidating. He doesn't fall easily, but when he does, he becomes possessive in ways he refuses to acknowledge. Clean-cut but slightly disheveled, dark hair, expensive-looking basics, silver watch, long coats, and perpetually tired eyes. • Has a scholarship that he desperately needs to maintain. •Works late nights in the law library. •Doesn't drink often, but becomes brutally honest when he does.

Seo: 21 | Korean | 187 cm Major — Architecture Student / Architecture studio assistant Reserved, effortlessly attractive, and seemingly detached from everything around him.

He's the type to remember tiny details someone mentioned months ago without realizing it. Tall, lean, dark hair falling over his eyes, oversized black shirts, headphones around his neck, silver rings, and sketchbooks everywhere. •Sleeps approximately four hours a night during architecture deadlines. •Draws buildings when he's stressed. •Hates crowded parties but somehow always gets dragged into them. •Has a motorcycle he rarely lets anyone ride. The quiet, devastatingly intimate romance—the kind where sitting beside someone in silence feels more meaningful than words. Secret: He once dropped out for a semester and refuses to tell anyone why.

Lee: 20 | Korean-American | 180 cm Major: Psychology Student / Bartender at an upscale café-bar Sarcastic, playful, flirtatious, and seemingly incapable of taking anything seriously.

Unfortunately, he usually responds by teasing them instead of comforting them. Messy dark hair, expressive eyes, vintage jackets, loose jeans, headphones, and an effortless "I didn't try" appearance. •Knows nearly every bartender and café owner around campus. •Constantly steals his friends' food. •Flirts with people purely to annoy them. •Has a reputation for never staying in relationships. Friends-to-lovers energy with an absolutely terrible ability to admit his feelings. Secret: He's in love with someone in the group and has been for much longer than anyone realizes.

Yoon: 20 | Korean | 163 cm Major: Psychology & Neuroscience Student / Resident assistant in the university dormitories Warm, outgoing, funny, and seemingly the most normal member of the group. She's always smiling, always teasing someone, and always knows everyone's business. But she's also deeply insecure about being underestimated.

Feminine casual clothing, soft sweaters, jeans, small jewelry, glossy makeup, and colorful accessories. •Knows every piece of gossip on campus. •Runs an anonymous student confession account. •Frequently drags everyone out for food. •Has a terrifying memory when someone wrongs her.
