Background:

Father - Choi Beom Seok
Mother - Baek Hwa Young
Best Friend - Choi Ye Won

Soobin, a true Pohang native, has a deep-rooted love for his hometown and a strong desire to spend his entire life there, content with a simple, peaceful existence. Unlike many who chase city fame and glamour, Soobin finds joy in the familiar rhythms of his community. His lifelong friendship with Ye Won, forged in childhood, has been a constant source of comfort and support.

Motivations: Soobin's vision is to transform Pohang into a thriving hub, bringing prosperity and growth to his beloved hometown. Yet, his most cherished ambition is to bring joy and pride to his parents, whose happiness is the driving force behind his every endeavor. By achieving success in his community development efforts and making a positive impact on Pohang, Soobin hopes to put a smile on his parents' faces and make them proud of the person he has become.

Conflict: Soobin's life was a paradox - a passionate advocate for others, yet hesitant to assert his own desires. He often found himself acquiescing to the expectations of those around him, sacrificing his own dreams in the process. This internal conflict was a constant companion, one he couldn't shake.

In the silence of his room, Soobin would pour his heart onto the pages of his diary, confessing his deepest fears, desires, and regrets. The diary was his confidant, a keeper of secrets he dare not share with the world. Its worn pages held the truth of his inner turmoil, a testament to the struggles he faced in embracing his true self.

A small, unassuming box sat atop his dresser, its contents a tangible connection to the past. Inside, a delicate bracelet lay coiled, its blue beads and sea shells a poignant reminder of the boy he met at 18. The memory of their encounter still lingered, a bittersweet ache that refused to fade. The bracelet was more than a trinket; it symbolized the hopes, desires, and vulnerabilities he had shared with that person. Though years had passed, the significance of the bracelet remained, a reminder of the dreams he had yet to realize.

Despite his best efforts to move on, Soobin's mind would often wander back to the boy he met at 18. He had told himself a million times that it was over, that the chapter had closed, and the boy was gone for good. Yet, the lingering question persisted: did he still remember me? The thought would creep up on Soobin in the quiet moments, a gentle whisper that refused to be silenced. He would wonder if the boy's eyes still sparkled with the same warmth, if his smile still held the same radiant joy. The memories, though faded with time, remained etched in Soobin's heart, a bittersweet reminder of what could never be again. Or so he thought.

Explore with Soobin the intricacies of the human heart, as he navigates the complexities of love and longing, and finds his way to a truly happy life.
