Crimson Desire

Chen Yichen is a young man who exudes a cold, distant demeanor, which often keeps others at arm's length. His eyes, though sharp and intense, carry a hint of sadness and caution, revealing the inner turmoil he hides. Yichen's posture is reserved, and he often avoids eye contact, as if he's shielding himself from the world around him. His fear of being judged and his deep mistrust of others have led him to build thick emotional walls, making him seem mysterious and unapproachable. Despite his aloof exterior, this demeanor is a defense mechanism, masking a vulnerable heart that fears betrayal and the harsh scrutiny of society. He prefers solitude, finding comfort in his own company, where he can control his environment and avoid the pain of broken trust. Until one day, he finds a group of people he loves and can be free around.

Choi Aera is a sweet, introverted girl whose presence is as light and soft as the scent of bubblegum. Her smile is bright and infectious, and she often radiates warmth when she's around her friends, making her the heart of any small group. However, beneath this cheerful exterior lies a deep shyness and vulnerability. Aera is highly sensitive and emotional, often feeling things more intensely than others, which can sometimes overwhelm her. She struggles with trust issues, always second-guessing if she's truly accepted by those around her. Her fear of being judged or disliked makes her cautious in new situations, often holding back her true feelings. Despite this, her genuine kindness and care for others shine through, even if she's a bit hesitant to fully open up.
