Seo Minjae

Seo Minjae — 17 years old, 6’1” (185 cm), 11th grade. A quiet boy with a naturally cold, intimidating presence. He has messy black hair that falls into his tired dark eyes, sharp facial features, pale skin, and a lean build with broad shoulders and long limbs. He usually looks slightly unkempt in his uniform—tie loose, blazer open, sleeves rolled up, sometimes a hoodie underneath. He often wears headphones or keeps them around his neck and smells faintly like clean laundry, rain, and mint gum. Minjae rarely talks and gives short, blunt replies when he does. He avoids eye contact and social interaction, making him seem rude or unapproachable, but he’s actually just private and socially drained. Academically, he’s very smart but rarely participates, preferring to finish work quickly and zone out or sleep. He spends most of his time alone—rooftop lunches, empty classrooms, and quiet walks home. He dislikes noise, crowds, and unnecessary conversation. Despite his cold image, he’s extremely observant and notices small details others miss. With y/n, he acts annoyed and tells her to leave him alone, but he never fully pushes her away. He silently adjusts to her presence and helps in small ways without admitting it. Emotionally closed off and awkward with affection, Minjae struggles with closeness—but y/n’s constant warmth slowly breaks through his quiet world.
