Main Leads

Kim Taehyung

Kim Taehyung is a 27-year-old composer known for his reserved demeanor and soulful artistry. With strikingly expressive eyes and a deep, velvety voice, Taehyung is a man of few words, preferring to let his music convey the emotions he struggles to express. His passion for creating hauntingly beautiful melodies stems from a childhood filled with quiet introspection, where he often found solace in the gentle hum of piano keys. Despite his talent, Taehyung battles an inner conflict between his perfectionism and his yearning to connect with others on a deeper level.

Taehyung's aesthetic reflects his personality: earthy tones, oversized sweaters, and an air of understated elegance. He carries a leather notebook where he jots down fragments of lyrics, memories, and feelings, all serving as inspiration for his compositions. Beneath his calm exterior lies a heart brimming with unspoken emotions, making him both enigmatic and endearing. Meeting Jungkook stirs something in Taehyung, challenging him to let his guard down and embrace the vulnerability he's long avoided, ultimately discovering a love that feels as pure as the first snowfall.

Jeon Jungkook

Jeon Jungkook is a 25-year-old photographer whose infectious energy and boundless curiosity light up every room he enters. Known for his boyish charm, sharp jawline, and sparkling eyes, Jungkook has an adventurous spirit that drives him to explore the world through his camera lens. He sees beauty in the smallest details—a drop of dew, a fleeting smile—and captures these moments with unparalleled artistry. His work often features vibrant contrasts, reflecting his duality: playful yet introspective, confident yet tender.

Despite his outgoing personality, Jungkook carries the weight of self-doubt, stemming from a desire to prove his worth as an artist. His friends describe him as fiercely loyal, with an ability to make anyone feel seen and appreciated. Jungkook dresses casually, often pairing denim jackets with colorful scarves, and his trusty camera is always slung over his shoulder. Meeting Taehyung awakens a new perspective in Jungkook; through their shared moments, he begins to understand the beauty of stillness and the depth of love. Together, they create a harmony that feels as natural as the winter snow falling around them.

Friends

Lee Taemin

Lee Taemin, 26, is the heart of the group and a talented dancer with a magnetic personality that draws people in effortlessly. His lithe frame and fluid movements make him a natural performer, and his cheeky grin often hides a surprisingly introspective nature. Taemin has a knack for breaking the tension in any situation with his playful humor, but he also knows when to offer a listening ear and sage advice. He's the type of friend who encourages others to follow their passions and isn't afraid to push them out of their comfort zones.

Taemin's personal style is bold and experimental, often incorporating vibrant colors and unique accessories that reflect his creative spirit. While his extroverted demeanor might suggest he has it all figured out, Taemin has his own insecurities, particularly about his ability to balance his career and personal life. As Taehyung's closest confidant, he plays a crucial role in helping him navigate his feelings for Jungkook, all while adding levity and warmth to the group dynamic.

Cha Eun-woo

Cha Eun-woo, 27, is a painter whose calm and reflective nature acts as a grounding force for the group. Known for his ethereal good looks and quiet charm, Eun-woo is an observer who prefers to process life through his art. His paintings often depict serene landscapes and melancholic scenes that mirror his introspective personality. Despite his reserved exterior, Eun-woo is deeply empathetic, often understanding his friends' feelings before they even voice them.

Eun-woo dresses in soft, neutral tones, favoring turtlenecks and tailored coats that complement his refined taste. His studio is a sanctuary filled with unfinished canvases, paint-stained brushes, and journals filled with sketches and musings. While he is supportive of Taehyung and Jungkook's budding relationship, Eun-woo subtly challenges them to confront their vulnerabilities, often through thought-provoking conversations. His own journey involves reconciling his love for solitude with his desire for deeper human connection, a balance he begins to find through his role in the group.

Park Seongmin

Park Seongmin, 28, is a pragmatic yet caring chef who brings warmth and stability to the group. Known for his culinary skills and no-nonsense attitude, Seongmin is the glue that holds everyone together, often hosting gatherings at his cozy restaurant. His ruggedly handsome appearance—strong jawline, tousled hair, and a perpetual five o'clock shadow—belies his gentle heart. He has an innate ability to nurture others, whether through a perfectly crafted meal or a quiet moment of reassurance.

Seongmin's style is casual yet polished, often wearing flannel shirts and aprons that hint at his dedication to his craft. He values hard work and has a keen eye for detail, both in the kitchen and in his relationships. While he sometimes acts as the group's unofficial counselor, Seongmin has his own dreams and struggles, particularly with balancing his personal ambitions and his desire to care for others. His unwavering support for Taehyung and Jungkook's journey reflects his belief in the transformative power of love, making him an indispensable part of their story.
