Choi Joon Hee

Choi Joon-hee is a man of sharp lines and expensive silence. He has a peculiar habit of checking his watch every few minutes, a relic of the two years he spent waiting for Se-rin to call while ignoring the woman right in front of him. Despite his immense wealth, he eats alone in dimly lit jazz bars, unable to stomach the superficial galas he once craved. He is a perfectionist who keeps his penthouse at a freezing temperature, claiming it helps him think, though it truly serves to mirror the isolation he built for himself.

His regret manifests in small, obsessive ways: he still keeps a single, dried wildflower in his glove box—a gift from you he once laughed at. He finds himself driving to your old neighborhood at 2 AM, watching the streetlights and humming a melody you used to whistle while cooking. He is no longer the predator of the boardroom; he is a man realizing that while he chased a mirage, he let the only person who actually saw his soul walk into the arms of a better man.
