"Hey everyone! No chapter today, but I thought I'd share a little something instead. Here's a character profile for Han Jonghyun!"

---

Name: Han Jonghyun (한종현)

Age: 26

Height: 178 cm (5'10")

Appearance: Jonghyun has a well-built physique, though his features are softer compared to Seojin's. His dark hair is slightly wavy, often falling naturally around his face. His brown eyes carry warmth, but there's a quiet determination behind them. Unlike most high-ranked guides, he lacks the refined air of privilege, making him seem more grounded and approachable. He prefers practical clothing over formal attire, though he still maintains a neat and professional appearance when necessary.

Guide Rank: (Initially believed to be low-level, later revealed to be S-Class)

Guide Abilities: Exceptional compatibility with Espers, capable of stabilizing even the most unstable ones. His presence alone has a calming effect, and his guiding abilities surpass the norm, though he has yet to fully understand the extent of his potential.

Affiliation: (Formerly government-employed, now working as Kim Seojin's exclusive guide)

Personality:

Jonghyun is practical, hardworking, and resilient. He doesn't seek attention or validation but takes pride in his work. He values independence and doesn't back down easily, even when facing stronger Espers. Though he appears composed on the surface, he struggles with his own doubts and fears, particularly regarding his sudden rise in status. Despite everything, he has a strong sense of responsibility and refuses to be treated as disposable.

Notable Traits:

Down-to-earth and doesn't let rank dictate his worth.

Strong-willed, unwilling to be pushed around.

Has a natural warmth that makes people trust him easily.

Struggles with his identity as an S-Class Guide, as it challenges everything he believed about himself.

Relationship with Kim Seojin:

Jonghyun never expected to be involved with someone like Kim Seojin. Their fated bond throws his world into chaos, forcing him to confront desires and instincts he's never dealt with before. While Seojin's presence is overwhelming, Jonghyun refuses to simply surrender to it—no matter how drawn to him he is.
